Common Crypto Scam Types to Watch For

Warning signs:
  • URL differs from margex.com — even by one character
  • Urgent pop-ups asking you to "verify" or "unlock" your account
  • Requests for private keys, seed phrases, or 2FA codes on a webpage
Margex will never ask for your private keys or seed phrases on any website.Learn more: Fake crypto exchanges

Fake Customer Support

Imposters pose as Margex support agents on Telegram, Discord, or social media and ask for account credentials.
Warning signs:
  • Unsolicited message from someone claiming to be Margex support
  • Requests for your password, 2FA code, or a "verification deposit"
  • Communication via personal Telegram account, not official channels
Margex support will never message you first on Telegram or Discord. Our official support channels are live chat on our website and [email protected]

Giveaway Scams

Fraudsters promote fake giveaways promising to double your crypto if you send funds first.
Warning signs:
  • "Send 1 BTC, receive 2 BTC" — any send-first scheme is a scam
  • Promoted via fake social media accounts impersonating Margex
All legitimate Margex promotions are posted on our official social media channels.Learn more: crypto giveaway scams

Impersonation Accounts

Scammers create social media profiles that copy the Margex name, logo, and content to appear legitimate.
Warning signs:
  • Account handle is slightly different from the official one
  • No verification badge or low follower count
  • Sends DMs offering "exclusive deals" or "account support"
All official Margex channels are listed on the official website at margex.com — there are no other official channels

Pig Butchering / Investment Fraud

A scammer builds trust over weeks through chat or social media, then directs you to a fake trading platform they control.
Warning signs:
  • Unsolicited contact from a stranger who becomes unusually friendly
  • Promises of guaranteed profits or "exclusive" trading opportunities
  • Pressure to act urgently — "this opportunity closes in 24 hours"
Margex never guarantees profits. Any claim of guaranteed returns is a scam.Learn more: investment and withdrawal scams
