Three hallmarks of an impersonation account
Impersonators tend to message first, promise returns or ask for transfers, whereas real official accounts rarely initiate private chats. The check is not the avatar or display name but the verification badge, account age and links published on official pages.
What to prepare before you start
These five things cover almost every delay people run into: Open the announcement page and find the social links the platform itself lists.
Check the username spelling carefully, watching for look-alike characters. Resolve not to disclose account details in any private chat.
Know that the formal support channel is the in-platform ticket.
Verify item by item before following
All four must match for it to count as official: Jump from the official page: do not search yourself, use the link on the announcement page.
Check the badge: the platform verification mark cannot be reproduced by an ordinary account. Check username spelling: impersonators insert underscores or swap in look-alike characters.
Check the tone: official accounts post announcements and product news, never return promises.
Fees, limits and processing times
Numbers change from time to time, always confirm on the official fee page before you commit size: Official entry: use okx.com or your own bookmark, and check the domain letter by letter - look-alike domains are the most common phishing trick here.
Install the app from App Store, Google Play or the official OKX download page; Android users should avoid APK files shared through chat groups. Set a separate fund password alongside Google Authenticator, then enable the anti-phishing code and address whitelisting.
Review login devices regularly and expect extra checks after changing SIM, email or device. The help centre and in-app support cover most issues; for fund-related cases open a ticket and keep the reference number.
Nobody from real support will ask for your password, 2FA code or seed phrase - treat anyone who does as a scammer.
The OKX-specific part
OKX social links are listed in the site footer and on the announcement page; bookmark them directly. Official communities are announced publicly; any "support" appearing inside a chat is not trustworthy.
Frequently asked questions
Someone DMs claiming to be support.
Is that credible
No. Official support does not initiate private chats and never asks for passwords, codes or seed phrases.
Does a large following prove it is real
No. Followers can be bought; the only reliable check is the link published on official pages.
Is following the wrong account risky
The account itself is harmless; the risk is following its links or sending money.

Treat any request to transfer to a specified address as fraud. When reporting an impersonator, include the account link for official support.
