Don't fall for a scam. Here are some tips for discerning real crypto exchanges from fake ones.
- If an exchange lock your account and requires you to pay for unlock.
- If an exchange promises a rate of return on an investment that seems too good to be true, it most likely is. Any offers of guaranteed returns, especially those that promise exceptional returns in the first days or weeks after registering on the exchange, are a telltale sign of a fake exchange.
- Don’t succumb to any pressure to deposit funds or make a larger investment than you intended. Legitimate exchanges will not deploy such tactics to solicit clients.
- Excessive communications that look like spam, especially those that continue to ask for persistent recharging of wallets, may be a sign that the exchange is trying to collect funds to be misappropriated.
- Be wary of any unsolicited offers or calls with advice on investing or buying cryptocurrencies. Even if the calls are said to be from financial advisors or brokers, if such calls are originating from an unregulated cryptocurrency exchange, it may be an indicator that something illegal is afoot.
- Platforms that ask for unusually high registration or withdrawal fees that were not previously disclosed should also be avoided and reported.
- As with a scammy or malware-infected website, questionable exchanges may look different from a legitimate exchange. These scams may rely on well-worn social engineering attack techniques to trick potential users to invest.
