Exchange safety

How to spot fake OKX emails

An email lands: “Your OKX account is at risk — verify now.” It looks perfect: right logo, right tone, a login button. The button doesn't go to okx.com — it goes to a copy built to capture your password and 2FA. This is the most common way OKX users lose funds.

How fake OKX emails work

Phishing emails create urgency (“account locked”, “suspicious login”, “withdrawal request”) and push you to a fake login page. The page forwards whatever you type — including your 2FA code — to the attacker in real time.

Signs an email is not really from OKX

A link that doesn't point exactly to okx.com; urgency and threats; requests for your password, seed phrase or 2FA; small misspellings in the sender domain.

What to do instead

Never click login links in emails. Open OKX from your own bookmark of okx.com.
OKX will never ask for your seed phrase — no real exchange ever does.
Enable an authenticator app or hardware key, not SMS, for 2FA.
Use a browser extension that blocks fake OKX login pages before they load.

Trust Line blocks fake OKX pages

Even if you click a link, Trust Line recognises look-alike OKX domains and stops the page loading — so a stolen click doesn't become a stolen account.

FAQ

Does OKX send emails asking me to log in?

OKX may send notifications, but you should never log in via an email link. Always open okx.com from a bookmark instead.

Will OKX ever ask for my seed phrase?

No. No legitimate exchange asks for your seed phrase. Any message that does is a scam.

Trust Line does the checking for you

Trust Line is a free browser extension that blocks fake versions of sites like this before they load and warns you about dangerous signatures on any site.
