⚠️ Beware of Fake Listing Scams | Industry Influencers Say There Are No Shortcuts

A founder of a major exchange recently issued a stern statement: anyone claiming they can help you get listed is a scammer. There is no room for compromise in this statement.

He emphasized very clearly — there are no intermediaries, no so-called special channels, and definitely no one who can go through the back door. Want to get listed? There is only one legitimate way.

This rhetoric points to a harsh reality: in the crypto ecosystem, there are scammers everywhere claiming to "know senior exchange executives." They sell false promises to entrepreneurs and project teams, then disappear after charging fees. Such scams happen every year, with victims losing large sums.

Industry insiders point out that anyone boasting about having "special channels" is almost certainly fishing for victims. The listing process at legitimate exchanges is fully transparent, with open review standards, and will not make exceptions based on a middleman's word.

For project teams, the lesson is simple: do not trust promises that sell internal relationships as commodities. A genuine listing depends on the project's own strength and understanding of the exchange's review standards.

Laughing again, it's the same old story. But indeed, we should give those people a good lesson. Special channels are worth less than air. --- Friends in high positions at exchanges are everywhere. They start with several million, really, everyone I know is doing the same scam. --- Day-N of the leek diary: I saw someone selling "internal connections" again, and I just want to ask, are your connections worth anything? --- Basically, they just want to go live quickly without practicing the basics. There's no such thing as being that lucky in the world. --- Most of the time, it's really fishing, and the remaining one is written by the scammer himself. --- I remind everyone every time, but new leeks still fall for it. Truly incredible. --- If a project lacks strength and still wants to take shortcuts? Wake up, what exchanges want is hype and transaction fees, not your connections. --- Really? I know someone who got scammed like that. Wow, they transferred the money, and the exchange didn't even look at the project code.

Really, every year someone gets fooled by this set of words, I'm numb to it.

Someone got cut again, these guys really dare to make things up. Success depends on strength, there’s no such thing as black box operations, don’t get it twisted.

nah actually the math on "special channels" has never checked out... seen this exact grift pattern since 2021, tokenomics of the scam itself is fundamentally flawed lmao
