Abstract generation in progress

【CryptoWorld】A leading exchange recently released a transparency update, explicitly warning project teams and investors to beware of fraudulent intermediaries impersonating the platform. These criminals often forge fake partnerships with the official platform, claiming to have “fast listing” channels to scam project teams out of fees.

According to the exchange’s internal audit, multiple entities and individuals have been blacklisted for false insinuations of association with the platform. The platform emphasizes that all listing applications must be submitted through the official website, and third-party intermediary channels are not recognized.

To curb such fraudulent activities, the exchange has set a reward of up to $5 million for verifiable evidence of violations. Additionally, the platform stated it will pursue legal action against illegal activities causing damages. This initiative was launched following a recent data breach incident, aiming to protect the rights and funds of ecosystem participants.

$5 million reward? Bro, this time they're serious. Finally, an exchange is willing to spend big. --- It's the same old trick. Official warnings are issued, but scammers still deceive. The alert ones have already run. --- Finally taking anti-fraud seriously, but can this money really be delivered? --- So, it’s still best to stick to the official website. Don't trust any other channels. --- The high reward shows how rampant the scammers are. The ecosystem definitely needs some serious cleanup. --- Wait, does this mean no one dared to report previous fraud cases? --- Being serious is at least an attitude, but the problem is, why are investors so unalert? --- By the way, will the actual reward really be paid out if someone reports? --- I just want to know how those who got scammed were deceived. As for the reward, I don’t believe it. --- Alright, alright, once again "we take it seriously," but then what? Can they really find out?

Here we go again. These days, scammers even dare to impersonate exchanges. It's hard to guard against everything. Wait, a reward of 5 million USD? That's quite aggressive. Are you sure this isn't just marketing? Every day, people fall for scams. They say submitting through the official website can help avoid traps, but the real victims have already been duped. What’s the use of these reminders? Scammers still deceive, and the victims are still the same newbies. The authorities have stepped in. Catching one with a reward of 5 million? Something's not right here. Enough already, same old tricks. Let’s see how many "bad guys" they can catch. Listing agents? Basically, projects want to take the fast lane, but end up being fooled by middlemen. Those so-called channels are nine out of ten just scams. So, the only legitimate channel for listing is the official website. Everything else is nonsense.

Is this for real again? Is it true or not? Every time they say it's a crackdown, but what’s the result? --- A reward of 5 million USD, sounds good, but I’m just worried they can’t find out. --- Damn, someone got scammed again? How naive do you have to be to trust an agent to list a coin... --- Frequent warnings from the official side are quite ironic, indicating there are indeed many issues. --- Just submit through the official website, why do you need to go through an intermediary? --- This reward amount is probably just to scare people. Can anyone really get it? --- There are daily warnings, but some still fall for it. I just don’t understand. --- Finally a direct response, better than pretending not to see it.

$5 million bounty, are they serious? It seems the scammers really pissed off the exchanges. --- It's the same old trick with listing agents; every time someone falls for it, I just can't understand. --- This move is strong; finally, an exchange is willing to spend money to crack down on scams. --- Honestly, every exchange has issued warnings like this; the key is how they follow through. --- $5 million bounty... Is anyone going to report it? That's enough for a down payment on a house. --- Scam intermediaries are really disgusting. The official website should have emphasized this early on. --- I just want to know who would voluntarily report it; offending people isn't worth it. --- Wow, now the scammers must be trembling haha. --- It looks like they are determined to clean up the industry. Thumbs up.

$5 million bounty? That's really intense, but I want to know how many people these fake agents have scammed before. --- Again with fake listing agents, when will this trick finally stop? --- Honestly, only using the official website is the safest; those trying to save a little money are bound to get hurt. --- Such a high bounty indicates how serious the problem is, it's truly terrifying upon closer inspection. --- Finally, an exchange is willing to spend money to crack down on these scams. Support! --- $5 million, those scammers must be trembling now haha. --- Every time they say to apply through the official website, but some still fall into the trap. Can't do anything about it. --- Wow, they just put up a bounty, they're really desperate now. --- I just want to ask those fake agents what they're thinking now. It's over for them. --- It's okay if the official doesn't intervene, but once they do, it's a big move.

Is there a new trick to cut leeks again? I've heard that someone is impersonating exchanges. --- A reward of 5 million sounds impressive, but I'm worried that the real black hands are also inside the exchange. --- Ha, now even fake agents are involved in listing on exchanges. I really need to be more cautious. --- This round of transparency updates is quite serious; it's better than saying nothing at all. --- Why does it feel like there are more and more scams? How can ordinary people play? --- The official website repeatedly emphasizes this matter; too many people have been scammed. --- They are willing to spend 5 million USD, it seems this matter has really escalated. --- It's always a warning after the fact. Why can't these rats be dealt with in advance? --- Investors should wake up; such low-level tricks still fool people.
