Chinese exchange EXX.COM is probably behind this scam

If we see the Telegram account of Bitcoin Diamond we see the words “Welcome” written in Chinese. We also see a screen shot dated November 18 which shows that BCD was traded against CNY before the snapshot date. The Telegram account also laughs at this like it is a big joke.

Look closely at the Bitcoin Diamond Telegram for clues

EXX.COM is also the first exchange listed on their web site.

The EXX.COM announcement of BCD has more information than the actual web site. Fishy, right? Link: https://www.exx.com/newcoin/bcd

EXX.COM is a mysterious exchange based in Hong Kong. The Twitter account was created in January and has NEVER tweeted.

As someone on Reddit has concluded:

As it appears the exchange EXX.com came online sometime in early November and then the Bitcoin Diamond fork happened November 24, 2017. It seems the exchange was made just for Bitcoin Diamond as a farce to get other exchanges and wallets to begin accepting it. Maybe as a way to give it some validity since so far it looks like it’s just an airdrop or fake fork.

The team is anonymous

The anonymous developers “Evey” and “007” are ready to steal your money.

Source code

There is no source code and far fetched claims that every 1 BTC you have in a private key will equal 10 BCD.

There is no wallet support

Since there is no source code, hardware wallets Ledger and Trezor will not support Bitcoin Diamond.

Trezor says no code

Ledger says no bueno

Bitcoin Diamond only lists some shady wallets on their site. They also spell it “WALLTETS” on their web site. Well done scammers.
