How to Verify Official Pionex Channels & Avoid Scams

Scammers frequently impersonate Pionex through fake websites, Telegram accounts, and social media profiles. This article helps you identify what is genuinely Pionex and what is not — before you take any action with your funds.

These are the only channels where Pionex operates or communicates with users:

If you are unsure whether a website, account, email address, or Telegram channel is genuinely Pionex, use the verification tool above before doing anything else.

If anyone claiming to be Pionex does any of the following, it is a scam:

One exception: If you deposited an unsupported token or used the wrong network and submitted a deposit recovery form, the recovery team may charge a recovery fee. The fee is requested only after the team confirms that your deposit can be recovered. It is requested in a ticket email sent to the email address registered to your Pionex account, and you pay it to the address given in that email. Pionex never requests this fee by direct message or phone, or through anyone who contacted you first. If you are unsure whether a recovery email is genuine, reply to that email or contact service@pionex.com before paying.

Fake Telegram bots and channels

Scammers create Telegram accounts or bots with names like "@PionexSupport" or "@PIonexRUSbot" that look official. Pionex does not provide customer support through Telegram. Any such account is fake.
​

Fake Pionex websites

Fraudulent sites use domain names similar to Pionex — for example, pionex-pro.com or pionexs.com — and copy the Pionex interface. Always check the exact URL. The only official domain is www.pionex.com.
​

Unsolicited contact claiming to be Pionex

Pionex staff will never message you first on Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram, or any other platform. We will also never send you a link asking you to complete face verification. If someone reaches out to you claiming to be Pionex, it is a scam.(Exception: VIP users may be assigned a dedicated consultant by Pionex who will proactively contact you via Telegram, WhatsApp, or LINE; their identity can be verified on the "VIP Services" page within the app. A genuine consultant will never ask you to transfer funds, provide a verification code, or click a link to complete facial verification.)
​

Upfront fee to withdraw

A platform tells you that your withdrawal is blocked and requires you to pay taxes, insurance, or a verification fee first. Pionex never requires any upfront payment to process a withdrawal. If you encounter this, stop immediately and do not deposit more funds.
​

Recovery agent scams

After being scammed, victims are sometimes approached by individuals claiming to be lawyers or asset recovery specialists who say they can retrieve lost funds — for a fee. These are almost always secondary scams. Pionex only cooperates with official law enforcement through formal legal channels.

If you're trying to trace where mistakenly withdrawn crypto ended up — for example, to check whether an address belongs to an exchange — see "If I withdrew crypto to an incorrect address, how can I verify whether it belongs to a trading platform?" instead of paying anyone who contacts you offering to recover it.

Fake Customer Service Calls Requesting OTP/Verification Codes

Scammers pose as Pionex support staff, bank employees, or regulators and call users claiming there's an issue with their account, that identity verification is needed, or that they're helping process a withdrawal, then ask for the one-time password (OTP) sent by SMS or email. Pionex support will never call you proactively to ask for an OTP, verification code, or password — any request for a verification code by phone is a scam. Do not provide it, and hang up immediately.

Phishing Links

Scammers send links disguised as official Pionex notifications via SMS, email, or social media DMs — for example, "Your account has an issue, click to verify" or "Claim your limited-time offer now" — leading users to a fake login page designed to steal account credentials or verification codes. Never click on links from unknown sources; always log in directly through the official website www.pionex.com or the official app. If you've already clicked such a link and entered your information, change your password immediately and enable two-factor authentication.

"Like-Farming" and Stock-Tip Group Scams

Scammers post messages on social platforms such as "like our post to earn points" or "join our group for insider tips/stock recommendations," luring users into Line, Telegram, or WhatsApp groups, where a self-proclaimed "mentor" or "teacher" then pressures them into investing or handing over account information. Pionex never distributes rewards through likes/shares or provides investment advice through group chats — any group or "advisor" claiming to represent Pionex is a scam. Do not join such groups or share any account information.

Fake/Impersonated Apps

Scammers create fake apps that closely resemble the official Pionex app and distribute them through unofficial channels such as links in text messages or third-party websites, in order to steal login credentials or trick users into depositing funds into fraudulent accounts. Only download the Pionex app from the official website or Google Play/App Store, and verify the developer information before installing. If you've downloaded it through any other link, delete it immediately and reinstall through an official channel.

If you receive a message, see a website, or encounter a social media account claiming to be Pionex:

Do this before clicking any links, making any payments, or sharing any personal information. Reach out to customer support if you need further confirmation.

Pionex's official campaign pages are always hosted under the www.pionex.com domain (e.g., www.pionex.com/campaign/... or www.pionex.com/activity/...). If you receive a link claiming to be a Pionex event, airdrop, or referral promotion but the URL is not on the www.pionex.com domain (for example, it uses a different domain, a shortened link, or an unverified third-party platform), do not click it or enter any personal information. First verify it using the official verification tool at https://www.pionex.com/en/official-verification, or contact online support to confirm.

How to Report a Suspicious Link

If you come across a suspicious link, fake campaign page, or account impersonating Pionex, please send a screenshot or the URL to service@pionex.com, or report it through online support in the official app or website. We will help verify it and take action such as takedown notices or public announcements as needed.

Stop immediately. Do not deposit more funds, pay any fees, or share account credentials.

Then:

Pionex cannot reverse completed blockchain transactions. However, we will flag reported wallet addresses with our risk and compliance team, and we cooperate fully with official law enforcement requests.
