Swapuz is a ChangeNOW reseller, and they also run another site called Exolix, which similarly resells ChangeNOW’s services.

If you look at the Swapuz Terms of Service from February 2022 (archived here = https://web.archive.org/web/20220213142831/swapuz.com/assets/index.223d937f.js), you’ll find direct references to Exolix. This connection was public knowledge for a while, and both Swapuz and Exolix were listed on Kyc Not Me until someone mentioned off the Kyc Not Me admin about this relationship. As a result, Swapuz was promptly removed from the Kyc Not Me listings.

Despite being caught, representatives from both Swapuz and Exolix have continued to deny any connection between the two platforms. They maintain this stance in public, even though their link was exposed due to a fairly basic oversight.

Given their reluctance to be transparent about their relationship, it’s wise to be cautious and perhaps avoid using either service until they openly acknowledge their connection.

There was also a notable thread on Bitcointalk (⚠️⚠️ 300M+ Ongoing Biggest Crypto Scam LEAK [Changelly & Freewallet and more] ⚠️ = https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5499189), which investigated ChangeNOW and its network of related projects-allegedly operated with forged documents.

Exolix was mentioned as part of this network, raising even more questions about its background and trustworthiness.

I would not suggest you to use them.

Thanks for the tip. This is is very informative.

At this point, I'm starting to think there is nothing that comes close with exch for the mentioned use-case.. At least not at this moment, However perhaps someone with balls of steel will take the baton after some time lol. For now, I think I will probably just bear the risk and take my chances in one of the exchanges mentioned in this thread. With only a pretty small amount at risk, it may not be so bad. Let's see.
