murex.exchange presents itself as a Russian-language currency exchange service. Its page title reads "Murex.exchange - Надежный онлайн обменник", meaning "reliable online exchanger." It targets Russian-speaking users who want to swap cryptocurrency or move money between assets. PhishDestroy classified it as an impersonation phishing page and first flagged it on 2026-07-27. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving live content.
How the scam works
Sites like this copy the look and language of a legitimate exchanger. The pitch is reliability, good rates and fast swaps. The victim picks a currency pair, receives a deposit address or payment details, and sends funds expecting the converted amount in return. In this kind of scheme the payout either never arrives or is held back behind invented "verification" or "withdrawal fees" that cost the victim even more. Anything sent to the operator's addresses is effectively lost, and the details entered along the way can be reused against the victim.
Evidence
Independent detection is thin so far. On 2026-09-14, 4 of 89 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft and SOCRadar. Most security tools still treat it as clean, so a browser warning should not be expected. The domain appears in 3 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, which shows other researchers have tied it to malicious activity. Among the blocklists tracked here, it is listed by PhishDestroy.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through NameCheap, Inc. on 2024-05-17, more than two years before PhishDestroy flagged it. An older domain can look established and slip past filters that focus on newly registered names. The site is hosted on the NetWarm LTD network in the United Kingdom. Its certificate comes from Let's Encrypt, so the browser padlock only means the connection is encrypted and says nothing about whether the operator is honest.
What to do
Do not send funds to murex.exchange, and do not pay any "fee" it requests to release a pending exchange. Paying only increases the loss. If you already sent money, stop all contact and save the deposit addresses, transaction IDs and any chat logs. Report the theft to your bank or the exchange you sent from, and to the police. If you created an account, change that password wherever you reused it and watch for follow-up "recovery" offers, which are a common second scam. Defenders should block the domain and its hosting IP at DNS and proxy level, and flag it in mail and chat filters aimed at Russian-speaking users.

“This is a coordinated "frozen order" exchange scam operated through a Telegram account named "Flowisland Support." The group poses as a cryptocurrency exchange service.
Method of operation: After a victim sends crypto for a swap (SOL to TRX), the operators claim the order is "frozen" due to a fabricated network error — e.g. a "7th validator error" on Solana, or a claimed amount mismatch (5.55 vs 5.56 SOL). No such error exists; this is a pretext.
They then demand the victim make a second ident”
