I. Four Steps Scammers Use to Impersonate BingX
1. Creating a Fake Identity
Scammers pose as BingX employees, create fake accounts, use the BingX logo or photos with BingX elements as avatars, and choose usernames and email addresses similar to BingX's official ones.
2. Finding Targets
Scammers obtain victims' sensitive information through illegitimate channels or create "official" BingX groups to lure victims, pretending to be BingX employees offering investment advice and money-making opportunities.
3. Gaining Trust
Scammers connect with victims, cultivating a friendly rapport that makes victims less suspicious, ultimately trapping them.
4. Completing the Scam and Disappearing
Once victims trust the scammers' fake identity, they may transfer funds or disclose account login information as requested.Scammers then quickly transfer the cryptocurrency out of the account.
II. Examples
1. Social Media Scam
User Mr. X is a newbie in cryptocurrency. A scammer posing as a BingX analyst invites Mr. X to join a fake official group via a social app, claiming to offer high-return investment advice. Mr. X believes it and transfers tokens to the scammer's wallet, only to realize later he has been scammed.
2. "BingX Trading Expert"
It's known that social platforms are filled with false information. Scammers may claim to be BingX partners or employees, using the @bingx username and calling themselves "trading experts". They exploit BingX's influence to deceive victims. However, please note that genuine BingX employees will never proactively offer investment advice to users.
III. Countermeasures
1. Be Wary of Self-Proclaimed BingX Employees
Don't trust individuals claiming to be BingX employees who contact you via phone or social media. BingX employees will not proactively offer investment advice, gifts, or account unlocking services through unofficial channels.
2. Protect Your Personal Information
Safeguard your personal information, including travel history, shopping history, and contact details. Scammers often obtain leaked personal data through the dark web to find their next target.
