In a troubling incident within the crypto world, a user with a Mexican exchange account reported losing access to their funds, sparking significant worry among the online community. When they attempted to log in on April 5, 2025, they discovered their email was no longer associated with the account, leaving them scrambling for answers.
The user claimed to have had $25,000+ stored in their account, complete with two-factor authentication for added security. Upon trying to access their funds after noticing they had been logged out, a shocking message indicated their email was not linked to any account. This confusing response from customer support led to a series of alarming revelations.
Initially believing they had been hacked, the user later learned the account linked to their deposits was associated with an email that differed by just one letter. At this point, the situation escalated further: after providing ID and Know Your Customer (KYC) details, the user was informed that the ID did not match. This assertion raised serious doubts; the user maintained they had never changed their email or identity.
As details spread, the concerns among the crypto investor community multiplied. Users shared their sentiments about the precariousness of storing significant amounts of funds with exchanges known for poor customer support. Notably, some expressed fear about the security of their assets, hinting at a growing mistrust.
"The timing seems suspicious, and it’s hard to believe this is just a mistake," one concerned observer stated.
The sentiment across various forums reflects a mix of frustration and unease, with many users urging their peers to be cautious.
