WEEX Issues Anti-Fraud Reminder: Beware of Suspicious Website Links to Protect Asset Safety

WEEX Issues a Stern Reminder: Identify Fake Websites, Stay Away from Imitation Scams

Behind the prosperity of the Web3 world, some criminals are also quietly laying out their plans. Recently, many users have reported online that they encountered online investment scams on platforms such as Douyin and Weibo, and were led to download phishing App, almost resulting in asset theft. In response, the official WEEX exchange issued an anti-fraud reminder: Be sure to recognize the official website link and official social media channels, and never operate transactions through unknown third-party websites.

Scam Upgrade: Search Engine+Phishing Page, Fake Websites Frequently Play“Impersonation”

These imitation scams often have several typical routines:

• Place search ads: Scammers use keywords such as “WEEX Exchange”“WEEX Official Website”“WEEX Download” to place ads in search engines. If users accidentally click on them, they may enter a “phishing website”.

• Impersonate page design: The page completely copies the layout of the official website of WEEX Exchange, even the logo and download buttons are exactly the same. But once users click to download or register, it is actually a Trojan program or redirects to a non-official App.

• Defraud asset transfer: Some imitation websites immediately close the webpage or disconnect after guiding users to transfer USDT, making it difficult for users to recover their funds.

These fake platforms are usually not subject to any regulation, and the whereabouts of funds cannot be traced. In extreme cases, users even mistakenly believe that “the platform has run away” and think that WEEX Exchange itself has problems, causing greater public misunderstanding, which is really being wronged.

From Platform to Users, Anti-Fraud is a Systematic Project

In recent years, with the rapid growth of global crypto users, crypto exchanges have increasingly become new targets for criminals to carry out scams. According to a recent anti-fraud reminder article released by the public security system, some users have suffered financial losses due to being led to fake links after searching for “WEEX”. Although this incident is not directly related to the official WEEX Exchange, the platform still actively responds to users' concerns.

It is worth mentioning that WEEX Exchange, as an international trading platform advancing the compliance process, has been continuously making efforts in risk prevention—— including establishing a user complaint mechanism, launching a 1000 BTCrisk reserve system, obtaining compliance licenses in multiple regions and countries around the world, and enhancing brand transparency by participating in international industry events such as TOKEN2049 Dubai.
