Avoid Online Crypto Scams

Important Reminder: Be vigilant against recovery scams in the crypto space. Margex will never contact you by phone, Telegram, or private messages asking for your wallet, personal information, private key, wallet address, or any upfront payment. Any person requesting such details is a scammer. Stay vigilant and protect your cryptocurrency.

Dear Users, please take precautions to avoid cryptocurrency scams.

Recently, we’ve received increasing reports of scammers impersonating Margex representatives online. These individuals may target users involved in crypto, bitcoin, or cryptocurrency investment, using typical investment scam tactics such as fake “support” calls, pig butchering scams, giveaway fraud, requests for sensitive information, or instructions to transfer funds to a fraudulent crypto wallet.

Key Takeaways

• Online crypto scammers use social media, fake investment platforms, phishing emails, and impersonation to steal funds and personal data.

• Common red flags include unsolicited investment offers, promises of guaranteed high returns, pressure to act quickly, and requests for private keys or seed phrases.

• Fake websites and apps often mimic legitimate exchanges—always verify URLs, SSL certificates, and official links before connecting wallets or entering credentials.

• Never share private keys, seed phrases, or two-factor authentication codes; no legitimate service will ask for them to recover an account.

• Be cautious with "giveaways" and celebrity endorsements; many are fabricated or used to legitimize scams.

• Use hardware wallets, strong unique passwords, and reputable wallet providers to reduce exposure to theft.

To protect your crypto and ensure the safety of your cryptocurrency investments, please follow the security guidelines below.

1. Always Use Official Margex Services and Channels

Margex representatives will never:

• Call you directly

• Ask for your private key, crypto wallet seed phrase, or personal information

• Request transfers to wallet addresses for “verification”

• Offer guaranteed investment returns

Any person doing this is part of a crypto scam or broader investment fraud scheme. All account actions must be performed only on the official platform at Margex.com or in the official app.

2. Stay Alert to Email, SMS, and Telegram Fraud

Scammers may send emails or messages that look legitimate but are designed to steal cryptocurrencies.

Be cautious of:

• Messages encouraging you to click unknown links

• Requests for wallet or login information

• Offers for exclusive cryptocurrency investment opportunities

• Fake “support agents” contacting you through Telegram or phone

Always verify the sender, and never share your sensitive information.

3. Watch for Fake Giveaways and Social Engineering

Fraudsters often run giveaway scams claiming you’ll receive crypto or bitcoin if you “confirm” a wallet address or send a small amount first. This is a classic crypto scam technique.

Remember:

• Margex does not run surprise giveaways

• Margex does not ask for deposits to “unlock” rewards

• Margex is not associated with any external “investment groups” or “signal communities” that promote crypto trading

If something sounds too good to be true — the scam is already in progress.

4. Protect Your Account With Strong Security Tools

Strengthen your security to prevent scammers from accessing your accounts:

• Enable 2FA

• Use strong passwords

• Avoid storing your private key digitally unless encrypted

• Never share verification codes with anyone

Margex will never ask for your 2FA codes or encryption backups.

5. How to Confirm a Suspicious Contact

1

Stop communication

If you suspect that someone is trying to run a cryptocurrency scam using Margex’s name, stop all communication with the individual.

2

Do not transfer funds

Do not transfer any crypto.

3

Verify the sender

Check whether the message came from an official Margex domain related to cryptocurrency transactions.

4

Contact official support

Contact Margex support directly through the live chat feature or the official help email for assistance.

Remember: Scammers impersonate legitimate platforms to appear credible. Margex is a secure, regulated trading platform and is not involved in any fraudulent activity.

Final Reminder

Your crypto, wallets, and investments are valuable targets for scammers. Protect them by following proper security practices and remaining alert to common scam schemes across the blockchain space.

Margex will never ask for your private key, wallet information, or upfront payments under any circumstances.

If you ever feel unsure — contact official support. Stay safe and protect your crypto.
