It's crazy how these scammers come out of the woodwork as soon as a project announces something big. Your experience is a great reminder to always double-check info through official channels before doing anything.

And yeah, it's not surprising to see different prices for $XION on different exchanges. Market speculation, liquidity, and other factors can all impact prices. Just remember to stick with official sources, like the project team and reputable exchanges, to get the most accurate info and avoid any potential risks.

That is not surprising anymore. Scammers are wise guys. They are always after the hype to make things easier for them. Apart from experience, I think doing a research as a newbie, or as a user that only have less experience, can still make us aware of some things. If the exchange is not owned by the same person, then yeah they can have a price difference. But a difference in price can also depend on those factors that you listed there.

If they did not mention other exchange, then I don't see why one should trust them, however tempting the price, maybe. I also often see announcements from the official handles of the project and involved exchanges on the upcoming launches and programs.
Anyone who ignores the announcements and then goes on to deal with an exchange that is not the official partner is really to blame from any lose of funds that could happen.

Maybe they are simply not interested on other exchanges? That is why. But they will still be listed on some of them. It is not enough basis tho of trusting a project but we also need to look for other things. Announcement wouldn't be called as that for no reason. Yes it is important and everyone should pay attention to it.

apparently that's the thing nowadays, so many scammers trying to drain people of their money, I personally always stick to whatever project's discord list official links.
even bing and google isn't a safe place from the shady phishing.

Scammers are already there even before but indeed that their numbers have only grown, also because the popularity of crypto have also improved. Google and Bing are just search engines that index results from different websites, no wonder why phished sites can get included there but for messaging applications like Discord, we are sure that the links pinned their by the admins are legit, assuming that they are already a legit project. Discord is also trusted compared to Telegram.
