Uses a single fund address, tracks and shares user IP geolocation with crypto addresses on their Telegram group, and order URLs disappear once the transaction is completed.
Verification proof
- They always give you the same address to send funds to, meaning they have no way of differentiating swaps.
- They send a request to ipinfo to check your ip geolocation.
- Then send that information with your crypto address to their telegram channel.
- All the order urls produce a 404 page not found error.

xch2.cx is an imposter site (https://archive.is/Rk166) mimicking the legitimate exch.cx (which is shut down by German authorities) If you encounter exch2.cx, avoid interacting with it! Always verify the domain and legitimacy of any crypto platform before engaging.

Exch2.cx admin here.
- We’re testing rotating addresses as we speak. Will be implemented soon.
- Geolocation is only viewed to exclude certain countries (ex. North Korea).
- Crypto address is only shared for the bot to complete your swap. None of the information, including the order page, is stored. All is immediately discarded the moment the swap has been completed or expired.
If all swaps use the same address, and 3 people try to swap the same amount and currencies, how do you tell them apart?
You’re right that if theoretically 3 people were to send 3 swaps for the exact same pair and the exact same amount at the exact same second it would be a problem to tell them apart. We’re nowhere near the level of volume where something like that could happen though. But we acknowledge the importance of rotating addresses and plan to implement them very soon.
Thanks for the information, we marked it as SCAM
Sometimes our bot doesn’t detect an order in time. Due to our strict no-log policy, everything is deleted once the timer runs out. However, if the customer raises a ticket or contacts us in our Telegram group with their TXID we have issued them a refund every time.
We’re fixing it. We have refunded everyone who raised a ticket. We’re a new exchange built from the ground up, please bare with us.
Now they are completely gone. Their site and telegram group chat is deleted.
