[Blockchain Today reporter Jihye Han] Digital asset exchange Upbit disclosed the types of listing fraud based on the case received through the’Upbit listing fraud reporting channel’ on the 26th, and called for attention once again.
From December last year, when the Upbit listing fraud reporting channel was opened, a total of 61 listing fraud reports have been received. More than 80% of the reports were cases in which contact was lost after inducing investment due to false listing information, and the remaining 20% were “promotion of listing and request for listing equipment by impersonating an Upbit employee”, and “information leak before public announcement of listed projects”. Occupied. In particular, there were many cases in which the listing of Upbit was announced and the market price in the currently listed exchange was inflated, or that it was listed on Upbit, and received investments through personal bankbooks and caused damage through multi-level sales. There were also a number of cases where upbit could not be contacted due to the announcement of the listing of Upbit, receiving investment, and closing the brokerage site or chat room.
Upbit has actively announced upbit impersonation SNS, email accounts, and listing fraud methods to prevent damage to projects and investors. In addition, in order to create a sound digital asset investment environment and prevent damage to investors, we disclosed nine types of suspicion of listing fraud.
1. “O-Month, Upbit listing is certain”
2. “It will be listed soon. If you invest now, we will return O times after listing.”
3. “Because it was listed on the OO Exchange today in order to be listed on Upbit in the future, trade now”
4. “Only for these chat rooms, we will be holding a private sale of coins that will be listed on Upbit soon”
5. “I assure you that the price will increase by O times if you list it on Upbit.”
6. “It is a coin issued directly by Upbit. Upbit will argue that it is not unconditionally true until it goes public in terms of policy, but this is certain information, so trust and invest.”
7. “I’m an Upbit employee, and if you have any intention to list Upbit, I’ll help you.”
8. “We guarantee the listing of Upbit at low cost”
9. “This is a picture of the Upbit lounge that I took because I knew well with the Upbit officials. Trust and invest”
An official of Upbit said, “Upbit receives listing only on the official website, does not receive award equipment, and will notify it through Upbit notice only when listing is confirmed. Coins directly issued by Upbit do not exist. “If you encounter messages corresponding to the above types offline, email, open chat rooms, SNS, etc., the possibility of fraud is very high, so investors need to be careful.” Said.
Upbit listing fraud reporting channel is directly managed by the CEO. Recently, as a case of upbit impersonation listing fraud that stolen the official e-mail account for listing inquiries has occurred, in order to prevent damage to the project and investors, the use of the account has been immediately stopped and the user’s attention has been requested through a notice.
Meanwhile, Upbit, which was launched in October 2017, is the most trusted global standard digital asset exchange, and has been leading the industry by setting various standards for transparent and convenient digital asset trading. UBCI, the first digital asset index in Korea, was developed, and for the first time on a digital asset exchange, the listing review principles and post-listing management guidelines were disclosed, and a project disclosure system was introduced. In December of last year, to protect investors, it opened a channel to report listing fraud, taking the lead in eradicating listing fraud.
