The WazirX executive warned people to stay away from anyone claiming to be from WazirX or any WazirX official, offering fund recovery or making any similar promises.
As we have already reported, the WazirX exchange is currently on the verge of filing for bankruptcy because it lost $230 million worth of cryptocurrencies one month ago. So far, the exchange’s team has failed to reach any precise and clear decision to compensate WazirX customers. A day ago, the WazirX CEO claimed that the exchange is still in a stable situation, so it will not file for bankruptcy but will go with a restructuring plan.
On August 25, 2024, Nischal Shetty, the CEO of WazirX Crypto Exchange, said that some scammers are exploiting the situation with WazirX by falsely claiming they can assist with compensation for affected users. These fraudsters are pretending to be affiliated with WazirX, although their claims are entirely false. They aim to mislead and silence those advocating for a prompt resolution to the platform’s issues. With WazirX having suspended all fund withdrawals, it’s crucial to stay vigilant and avoid engaging with any unauthorized or suspicious entities promising compensation.
In response, many WazirX customers alleged that WazirX is only using various excuses to divert attention from the real issues.
One crypto X user said that the WazirX CEO is acting irresponsibly and blaming the crypto custody service provider as a responsible agent behind the hacking incident, instead of doing anything beneficial for customers’ demands.
Another crypto X user alleged that WazirX has always misled customers by claiming to be an Indian exchange, while in reality, they were providing services as a Singapore-based firm. Such bitter things are likely to cause significant delays in fund recovery.
