🚨 THREAD | How I lost $3,630 on #OKX through a P2P scam
This isn't just a story about losing money.
🧵It's about how a verified Super Merchant with around 1,500 completed trades allegedly used a sophisticated phishing scheme, and why I still can't get a proper investigation
🚨 Day 6
#OKX says there was no evidence that my email address was exposed through their systems.
Then how did a P2P merchant already know the exact email address linked to my OKX account before the phishing attack?
I selected the merchant from a long list of P2P offers. I never gave him my registered email address. Yet he sent a phishing email to that exact address.
My $3,630 was stolen.
OKX says the case is closed, refuses compensation, and won't explain how the scammer obtained my email.
So here's my question to the community:
If a centralized exchange cannot explain how a scammer obtained the email linked to your account and will not compensate the victim, what is the advantage of trusting a CEX over DeFi?
I don't consider this case closed. I am requesting that OKX reconsider its decision and fairly review my compensation request. @OKXHelpDesk
What do you think is the fair outcome?

🚨 Day 4.
So here's where we are.
OKX has confirmed that:
• They investigated the scammer.
• They took action against the reported account.
• They reviewed my concerns about how my registered email address was obtained.
• They still refuse to compensate me for the $3,630 that was stolen.
My question is simple:
If your own investigation resulted in enforcement action against the reported account, why is the victim expected to absorb 100% of the financial loss?
If the responsible account violated your policies, why isn't victim compensation even being considered?
I'm not asking for charity.
I'm asking for my own money back.
@okx, please reconsider this decision.

🚨 Day 3.
My case involves $3,630, phishing, and an alleged fraudulent Super Merchant.
@OKX's response today?
"The agent will provide an update soon."
Seven times.
Same message.
No update.
No answers.
Is repeatedly saying "soon" your new customer support strategy?

🚨 OKX says they investigated my case and took action against the reported merchant.
Great.
Then here's my question.
If you have already identified the responsible account and taken action against it...
Why is the victim expected to bear 100% of the financial loss?
If the reported merchant refuses to compensate the victim, why doesn't OKX consider recovering the loss from the responsible party instead?
Why should the victim pay for the scam while the person responsible keeps trading or keeps their assets under the platform's control?
I am not asking OKX to pay for someone else's actions.
I am asking #OKX to use every legitimate tool available to hold the responsible party accountable before telling the victim there is nothing they can do.

I want answers to three simple questions:
1️⃣ Why hasn't my case been properly investigated?
2️⃣ Why is this merchant still active?
3️⃣ How did the merchant obtain the email address linked to my #OKX account?
Stay tuned. This is only the beginning.

I'm going public with my case because #OKX still hasn't launched an investigation. After I was robbed of $3,630
The scammer **Choudhury-Ex** is still trading on the platform, and there's no investigation into him! 😤😡 #Scam#Justice#Investigation
🚨 I had $3,630 stolen from me by a merchant with a super rating on the OKX exchange during a p2p transaction.
A merchant Choudhury-Ex obtained my data by leaking it from the platform and sent a phishing email claiming to be support, after which he withdrew all the funds.
#OKX
🚨🚨🚨This is extremely serious
Choudhury-Ex is shown as an OKX P2P Super Merchant with 1,570 transactions, 98.94% rating and 92.62% completion.
He allegedly scammed me for $3,630 via fake OKX Support phishing. Why is he still trading freely?

@DeFiTracer The author appears to have embellished the data. This isn’t the original chart—here’s the actual one.
It’s noticeably different from what’s featured in the main headline of the article 😐
