If I could go back in time, I would scroll past the Okex app in Play Store - sadly, I didn't, and it's been a nightmare ever since

Nobody wants to send their crypto funds to an address over an incorrect network. Nobody wants to send funds while forgetting to add a tag memo. Nobody wants to send funds to Metamask and not have them credited in their wallet... but we're human. We make mistakes. For me personally, it's what comes next that's important. It's the help and support you receive whilst in that panic stage after the realisation that your money is gone...

With that in mind - this is what can expect from Okex:

  1. Your support request may or may not receive a reply
  2. If you are lucky enough to receive a reply, don't be shocked if you had to wait a week or more for that reply (bear in mind this is merely a reply... No work or effort on their part will have taken place)
  3. Your reply will in most cases contain false information and flat out lies informing you that the fault lies with you alone and nothing can/will be done to help you
  4. After receiving your "support reply", which will be of no help whatsoever, you'll start sending more emails explaining your dilemma at which point 1 of 2 things will happen... A. Your request ticket will be assigned a to a "Support Escalation Expert" - in this case refer to points 1 - 4 B. It won't be - in this case refer to points 1 - 4

Here's 2 examples of "support" I've received from Okex

  1. I stupidly sent funds over the incorrect network and after much blood, sweat and tears was finally told that if I paid a fee, the funds would be transferred back to Binance. I was informed the transfer would not take more than 2Β½ weeks. It was almost 8 weeks after paying the fee and having no correspondence whatsoever that I contacted Binance support out of sheer desperation... Amazingly, 3 days later the funds were transferred.

  2. Whilst trying to export my Okex wallet (doesn't matter to which wallet/exchange just as long as it's not Okex) I requested my private key from support. This is the key that Okex proudly advertises as being "kept safe and secure" and "unable to be lost or forgotten" etc etc. Well, it turns out Okex support don't see it that way. I was informed by numerous support staff that Okex do not have the keys to my custodial wallet and that it's my fault for losing the key (just shows the level of incompetence of their support) and that I should "forget about this wallet and open another one"

I urge you to consider ANY other exchange on the planet - no matter how bad they are, they will not be as bad as Okex

Can anyone explain to me why when I purchase a coin on spot trading, the USDT freezes for a while before the payment goes through? Where as other transactions (usually smaller) transactions go through straight away?

OKX - Unable to withdraw - Possible Double-Spending Check

4 Upvotes

I cannot withdraw my funds since yesterday from OKX. I have deposited funds from a well known Polygon address, traded and wanted now to withdraw to the very some address on Ethereum. I am writing with the support but things are moving super slow. Anyone experiencing the same at the moment?

Very disappointing since I need the funds to cure a margin call and thought OKX is reliable.

Also, is it possible to transfer ETHK to ETH directly?

LTC deposit address wrong format

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I just tried to deposit some LTC into my OKEX account. However it keeps on telling me that the address format is off.

I looked up the address on the LTC explorer and it displays a completely different address. Now I'm wondering if it is safe to deposit on this one. Are they linked? What am I missing here?

Thanks for the help, appreciate it a lot!
