XeggeX Is a Scam. We Got Rugged, and So Will You.

Let’s not sugarcoat this. XeggeX stole from its users, we were one of them, and anyone still trusting this exchange is walking into the same fire that already burned the rest of us. This is not a “be careful” post. This is a “stay away, full stop” post.

Here is the whole story, and what these people are doing right now to find their next victims.

This post is an updated version of our earlier XeggeX warning:

How XeggeX robbed its users

December 2023. Nerva ($XNV) was listed on XeggeX, back when it was up and coming exchange for low-cap coins.

February 2025. XeggeX went dark. The operator, “Karl,” rolled out the oldest excuse in the book: we got hacked. The site came back weeks later, but balances were gone. In their place, IOUs for major coins and a promise that everyone would be made whole.

Then the site vanished, and so did the money. That “hack” was the cover story for a rug. Users were left with nothing but screenshots of balances they will never see again. We know, because we lost real money in it.

Call it what it is: theft.

The fake “refund” act

After laying low, the operators crawled back.

January 2026. They started stirring again in their Discord.

February 15, 2026. The old XeggeX X account announced that “refunds” were being processed. That post has since been deleted by @xeggex account.

Do not fall for it. An operation that already made everyone’s money disappear does not suddenly rediscover its conscience. The refund talk exists for one reason: to rebuild just enough hope to lure people, and fresh deposits, back in. If you actually believe you’re getting a refund from XeggeX, nothing in this post is going to save you.

What they’re doing right now: the airdrop bait

The latest hustle is pure recruitment. XeggeX is spamming “airdrop” hype and telling people to hand over their Solana wallet addresses:

  • “drop your solana address, check the wallet later”
  • “Show me your solana addresses. ITS AIRDROP SEASON.”

There is no airdrop. Begging strangers for wallet addresses is how scammers build victim lists and steer people to wallet-draining sites and fake “claim” pages, where one signature empties your wallet. A real exchange does not run its business panhandling for wallet addresses in X replies.

And watch what they do to anyone who warns you: when we called them out, XeggeX blocked us. That’s the tell. Scammers block the people telling the truth because honesty kills their recruitment. The block isn’t defensive, it’s part of the con.

So burn this in: never send funds to XeggeX, never give them your wallet address, and never connect a wallet, install any app from them or sign anything for a XeggeX “airdrop.” The airdrop is the hook. You are the fish.

People are STILL losing funds

This isn’t ancient history that got cleaned up. As recently as May 24, 2026, users were publicly begging XeggeX for their money:

  • “I buy xeggex coins but my xeggex coins not showing”
  • “My fund not showing”

Months after the “refunds” supposedly started, real people are still locked out of real funds. That’s the truth sitting underneath all the airdrop noise.

AnonEx: XeggeX’s second act, admitted out loud

AnonEx tried to wave us off, posted from their own account: “We have no affiliation with Xeggex or the previous team. We only purchased the software from Xeggex.”

Read that again, because they admitted it themselves. They bought their exchange software directly from XeggeX, the operation that stole over $10 million from its users. Our reply was the only question that matters: why would anyone buy their platform from a known, confirmed scammer?

Then AnonEx vanished, right on cue:

  • Its official X account, @anonexofficial, no longer exists.
  • Its website, anonex.io, is dead. The domain doesn’t even resolve.

Same code, same crew, same rug. If you had anything on AnonEx, it’s gone. This is what happens every single time: when a “new” exchange proudly runs a known scammer’s code, it isn’t a new exchange. It’s the next rug.

A warning for every past XeggeX user: do not log into xeggex.com

Here’s something every former XeggeX user needs to hear. Alongside those code-sale messages, a serious warning has been circulating: that the current xeggex.com is now a honeypot set up to harvest logins, with people urged not to enter their credentials and to change any reused passwords.

We can’t independently confirm who controls that domain today, but the precaution costs you nothing and the downside of ignoring it is severe:

  • Do not enter your login on xeggex.com.
  • If you ever used XeggeX and reused that email and password anywhere else, change those passwords now, especially your email, other exchanges, and anything financial.

They already took people’s funds. Don’t hand them your credentials too.

Know the playbook

XeggeX and AnonEx ran the same script, and so do most exchange scams. If you see these signs, walk away:

  • A convenient “hack” that just happens to wipe user balances, followed by IOUs and vague promises.
  • Going dark, then reappearing with fresh promises of refunds or rewards.
  • “Airdrops” that want your wallet address, a wallet connection, or a signature.
  • Buying or running a known scammer’s code and branding it a “new” exchange.
  • Blocking and silencing critics instead of answering them.
  • Anonymous operators with zero accountability when the money disappears.

Hold your own keys. Only use exchanges with a real, verifiable track record, and never leave more on any exchange than you’re actively trading. If a “gift” needs your wallet or a signature, it’s a robbery with a bow on it.

We’re not letting this go

We got rugged by XeggeX, and we’re not going to sit quietly while they and their spinoffs line up the next round of victims. We warned everyone about the airdrop bait, we’ve documented AnonEx, and we’ll keep publishing every scam we uncover. These people count on short memories and silenced critics. They’re going to get neither from us.

If XeggeX, AnonEx, or any operation like them burned you too, speak up and share it. Come tell us:

The more we document, the harder these scams are to pull off, and the fewer people they get to rob.

Protect your keys. Trust no exchange. And do not feed these scammers.

KuCoin Scam Attempt

There are so many scammers in crypto. You have to be very careful out there. Here is Poppy Anderson supposedly from KuCoin, @Poppy_Kucoin1. The day of this conversation, this user ID validated on https://www.kucoin.com/cert. The next day, it was no longer validating.

He probably did not expect me to be able to submit the application and wanted me to come back to him for help, at which point he would probably offer “other solution”. Well, half a day after my last message, he deleted this conversation from Telegram which 100% confirms to me that this was scam attempt.

Wen Nerva on KuCoin? 😁

21:27

Rob Coder

Hi. Nerva’s founder left the project in 2021. Nerva is community project and I’m one of the code/website/social maintainers.

Here is brief history if interested:
https://nerva.one/a-brief-history-of-nerva-renewed/

What are the details?

21:31

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

Nice to meet you

21:31

KuCoin continues to rank among the top exchanges on CoinMarketCap,

So I believe you’re already familiar with our platform.

21:32

Rob Coder

Yes, I’ve used KuCoin a while back.

21:32

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

We are proposing a listing without any listing fees. We only ask for liquidity to support our market maker for 1 month.

KuCoin will use this liquidity during the period to provide smooth trading.

After the 1 month is completed, the full liquidity will be returned, and your token will remain listed on our spot market permanently.

21:33

So which pair u prefer for listing with Nerva?

21:33

Rob Coder

What are the liquidity requirements?

21:34

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

We just intial liquidity to create trading pair and once token get listed u can add more liquidity

So initial required LP for USDT pair would be

5k to 10k Usdt + Equivalant in tokens

21:34

We will manage the liquidity first 30 days then we send back LP funds to original wallet and u can start ur own MM

21:34

We will do massive marketing before listing date

21:35

Rob Coder

Yeah, raising $10k – $20k might be a problem. The community is still small.

21:36

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

How much can be done from ur side for the start

21:36

We just need to create trading pair first

21:37

Rob Coder

Why can’t trading pair be created with $500 + $500 in XNV? Why does it need to be this high?

21:38

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

For smooth start so we can raise price organically but since its community driven and volume still small we can accept small amount just to create the trading pair

21:39

Plz confirm

21:39

Rob Coder

If it’s $500 USDT + $500 XNV, that would work.

21:40

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

And once token get more volume after listing u can add more liquidity

We will do marketing for free

21:41

So announcement will be done within 2 hours after application done

Listing will be done within 5 days after announcement

21:41

Rob Coder

How can I confirm that this is legit offer through official KuCoin website?

21:42

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

Sure u can verify me at kucoin verification page at our official website

21:42

https://www.kucoin.com/cert

21:42

21:42

Please check and confirm

21:44

Tell me once checked to proceed with steps of application

21:45

Rob Coder

I verified already but this sounds too good to be true so I’d like additional verification through official website or official X account .

21:45

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

Just to clarify – we never use Twitter or emails for verification.

Those are only for announcements and updates.

That’s why kucoin has its official Verification Page, where you can check any real admin username directly. It’s the only secure and trusted method to confirm real kucoin representatives and avoid any impersonation.

21:45

We can send u an email from our official domain as second Verifcation

21:46

Rob Coder

Is the application submitted through the website?

21:47

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

Yes for sure

21:47

Rob Coder

OK, so where do I go to submit the listing application?

21:48

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

the listing process is very simple:

1] Fill out the official KuCoin application form.
www.kucoin.com/listing

2 We’ll send the signed agreement for your confirmation.

Transfer the required LP amount as stated in the agreement.

4 KuCoin will announce the listing and start the marketing campaign.

21:48

I will follow step by step until application done

21:48

Hope steps are clear please read and confirm

21:51

Rob Coder

Yes, steps are clear. As long as application goes through the website and I’ll get confirmation from kucoin.com email that I can reply to, I think that’s good enough.

21:52

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

Sure

21:55

Rob Coder

OK, I will fill out the application tomorrow. Do I need to put anything specific in there or just fill out what it’s asking for?

21:55

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

Just fill what its asking

If u have any question about the form let me know to help thanks

xeggex scam website

XeggeX Crypto Exchange Scam

XeggeX was a small but fast growing crypto exchange in 2023 that was listing smaller crypto projects.

Nerva ($XNV) was listed there in December 2023. Everything was fine until February 2025 when one day, XeggeX exchange went offline and claimed that their CEO, also known as Karl was hacked. They assured users that funds were safe. A few days later they claimed issues with database but after a few weeks they re-opened the exchange. They allowed deposits and withdrawals but for bigger projects such as ETH, BTC, USDT, they issues IOUs so users could not withdraw those.

Some weeks passed and one day xeggex website went offline and disappeared. All user funds that were on the exchange were lost or rather stolen by “Karl”. Some sources say that he had gambling problem and gambled all that crypto away.

In January 2025, a year after going offline, this account started posting in XeggeX discord server and old website xeggex.com came back online.

New exchange popped up that started listing crypto projects for free including Nerva: https://nerva.one/do-not-use-anonex-scam-crypto-exchange/

And on February 15, 2026, old @xeggex account on X posted a message saying that they’re back and that they’re processing refunds.

If you really think that you’ll get anything back from this XeggeX scammer, you’re beyond help. Stay away. The funds are gone. He run out of money and he’s looking for suckers to scam.

AnonEx Crypto Exchange – Potential Scam

Nerva was listed on XeggeX crypto exchange in December 2023. In February 2025, XeggeX claimed database issues but said that funds are safe. Shortly after that, they re-opened the exchange but for major currencies such as BTC, ETH, USDT they issues IOUs so you could not withdraw them.

Some weeks after that, XeggeX domain stopped working and it disappeared with all the user funds that were on there. The guy who run that exchange called himself Karl. It turned out that he rugged everybody, stole the funds and disappeared for a year.

Looks like Karl or whoever he is, might have run out of money. Here are recent announcements from XeggeX Discord server:

Now a new exchange called AnonEx is online, running XeggeX latest code. It’s listing coins for free, trying to get people to deposit funds and trade there. Surely it’s not the same scammers trying to rug people again.

What do you think a legitimate response could be? https://twitter.com/NervaCurrency/status/2023448960652976290

We got our response and a block at the same time. You can decide for yourself if AnonEx is legitimate or a scam.

Their exchange URL is https://anonex.io

We do not recommend you deposit $XNV there, deposit any other funds or trade there.

You have been warned.
