【BlockBeats】On December 17, a major official statement from a leading exchange announced that they are actively collecting criminal evidence and related clues of “listing agent” scam cases across the entire network for paid investigation.
The exchange emphasized a key principle: During the listing application process, the platform will never charge any fees. Recently, there have been frequent cases of malicious actors impersonating official staff or related entities, fabricating false listing agent roles, and charging users high fees under the guise of listing services. Such fraudulent activities have become a persistent industry problem.
To protect community members, the exchange has launched a reporting reward program—Providing relevant scam evidence can earn rewards of up to $5 million. This not only incentivizes honest reporting but also serves as a deterrent to fraudsters.
If you or someone around you encounters similar situations, do not trust them easily and report directly through official channels.

$5 million reward for catching scammers, this is impressive, finally some exchanges are taking tough action
---
Another coin listing scam, I can memorize this routine, one call, one quote, really the ultimate in rookie scammers
---
I have to say, this round of reporting plans is somewhat effective, scammers can be caught with evidence and even earn USD, who wouldn't want that
---
These days, even listing scams are happening, truly fearless, this move by the exchange to cut off the source is pretty good
---
Haha, does anyone really believe "I know someone at the exchange"? Someone should have taught these scam groups how to behave long ago
---
$5 million is a big amount, let's see if anyone actually reports it, or if it's just big talk with no action
---
Every time I see these scams, I just want to laugh, do people really get fooled, or am I too naive
---
Report through official channels directly, no need to overthink, if they pay, it's a win
---
These scammers should be wanted across the entire internet, don't let any of them go, so annoying
---
Finally, an exchange is stepping up to fight scams, those fly-by-night agents can go wash up and sleep

5 million dollars bounty? Now those scammers should be panicking. Serves them right for getting cut.
---
It's the same old trick of impersonating the official, so annoying. Aren't there enough people getting scammed in the community?
---
The fact that listing tokens is never charged, how are people still falling for it? How clueless can they be?
---
Just report and you can earn US dollars. I wonder if anyone would risk scamming, haha.
---
This exchange is really aggressive in cracking down. But then again, scammers always come up with new tricks.
---
I've been asked several times about listing agency issues. Now there's finally a way to deal with them.
---
People who survive by selling fake agency fees—no one really knows how many there are. It's chaos.
---
Using 5 million USD to report—sounds pretty worthwhile. Why is no one taking action?

5 million dollars bounty, is this exchange serious? scammers better tremble in fear
---
It's another exchange listing scam. How long has this trap been going on? You really should learn your lesson
---
They clearly said no more charges, and people still fall for it? Wake up, brothers
---
The crackdown is effective; finally, an exchange dares to spend money fighting scammers
---
The key question is how many people will actually report through official channels. Probably even more are being scammed
---
5 million USD. If I had proof, I would have reported it already
---
Impersonating the official channel—how bad must the scam be to succeed? But on second thought, too many people truly deserve to be scammed

Can I report scammers with 5 million dollars? This deal is really worth it, much more stable than trading in the crypto circle haha
---
It's the same old story, always say they won't charge fees, but someone still falls for it. How much must their brains be worth?
---
Wow, this time the reward is not small, 5 million USD... Feels like exchanges are also getting annoyed.
---
Just report through official channels and that's it. Don't listen to those "I know someone" nonsense, none of them are genuine.
---
Nowadays, even listing on exchanges has become a scam industry. Luckily, there are exchanges to back us up, or it would be even more chaotic.
---
The most heartbreaking thing is that some people actually believe these scams. Wake up, everyone.
---
I don't know how much deterrent 5 million USD is to scam gangs, but anyway, just seeing this news is enough for ordinary people.
---
In simple terms, one sentence: the official will not actively ask you for money. Remember this, and you'll be fine.

5 million dollars reward for scam clues, this level of effort is indeed ruthless. It seems exchanges are also fed up with scammers.
Brothers, remember this: listing coins doesn't cost anything. If someone asks you for money, just report them. Isn't it profitable to sit back and earn US dollars?
Playing the official impersonation game for so long and still fooling people—industry ecology is really dirty.
I was wondering why people in the group have been getting scammed every day recently. It turns out scammers are so rampant. It’s time to clean up.
Five million? I need to quickly ask around if anyone has been scammed before. Is this deal worth it?

5 million USD reward, this move is quite strong. I'm just worried that scammers will keep deceiving, after all, it's too easy to fleece the newbies.
---
It's another coin listing agent scam. I'm tired of this routine. There are so many people around me who have been duped. Luckily, there's a reward involved.
---
Wait, is it really possible to get 5 million? Or is this reward for reporting just a trick itself?
---
Seriously, if anyone ever tells me they know someone inside the exchange who can list coins, I'll just report them to claim the reward.
---
These days, listing coins still costs money. Those who have been scammed should collectively report this.
---
5 million USD is indeed tempting, but let's wait until someone actually receives the money before believing it.
---
I just want to know how many people are still being tricked by this routine.
