FTX EU launches withdrawal website to pay back European users

It looks super fishy: Needed password reset (so they don't have the password hashes), high fees (0.25% withdrawel fee), and you need to upload your whole life in documents (ID, utility bill, tax report etc.)

If I was a ftx user I would also be extremely careful with fishing attempts and co.

And indeed looks suspicious.

But, the domain name looks like to be explicitly listed on the Cyprus sec website: https://www.cysec.gov.cy/en-GB/entities/investment-firms/cyp...

And it would make sense that if they cut off the system/backend that were using before, they would need something like the password reset. Previously auth might even have been handled by ftx main service.

Yes! Either the best scam I've ever seen, or the most phishy looking legit page.

I became really suspicious when they asked for a proof of funds (I've never seen that) and when they wanted a tax identification/tax statement – that's really nothing they should ever ask for, and nobody asked for that before. Also why 0.25% withdrawel fees?
