Good to know. It’s a legit exchange. I also just read the post about the phishing scam.

Some more info:

At around 5:08-ish UTC Time (June 5), I tried to login, but couldn’t because of this message:

I had a little over 1XMR in my balance. My USDT was about 75 dollars. I had maybe 40$ in an order for XEQ i think. 30$ worth of satox. idk exactly. But you can see in the screenshots below that 1.6XMR was withdrawn out, which is approx what i had put in, comparing to my mental notes about what i was keeping track of, of how much xmr i sent in.

Here you can see all the XMR was withdrawn out of the account! At the exact time of the maintainence!

anyway When I was able to log in around 5:30UTC, I discovered everything had been liquidated. I don’t mind showing you guys my full balance history

Their scam is very dirty. They do “maintenance” at a random time, for 10 minutes, because it’s likely you wont log in during that time. Then they liquidate your shit and transfer it out and then they would probably say something like, “Oh your account got hacked into, nothing we can do”.

But I just happened to try and log in exactly when they were doing it.

Are you sure you were logging into TradeOgre? Your screenshot is showing “traderogre.com” with an extra r in your URL

So they dissolved all your positions into xmr? Can you take the xmr out?

They withdrew all the XMR themselves after converting everything into XMR

What an elaborate effort from your friend to steal a hundred bucks. Not bad. Careful what links and programs you install on your phone.
