OKX froze my deposit or withdrawal during a scam-related case. How should I respond?
FAQ | Updated 2026-03-18
How to respond effectively
- Reply with one clear timeline explaining what happened, when the transfer occurred, and why you believe the case involves fraud or mistaken flagging.
- Reference the ticket number and keep every follow-up consistent with the same facts.
Key evidence to include
- TXIDs, wallet addresses, asset amounts, timestamps, explorer screenshots, and sender or receiver account identifiers.
- Proof of communication with the scammer, broker, or platform if the funds were sent under false pretenses.
- A short sequence showing how the assets moved before reaching OKX if you have traced that far.
What OKX is usually reviewing
- Whether the deposit or withdrawal is tied to suspicious funds, account compromise, or regulatory hold requirements.
- Whether your explanation is specific enough for compliance staff to compare with the blockchain trail and account logs.
Avoid these mistakes
- Do not send scattered updates without context.
- Do not submit altered screenshots or mismatched dates.
- Do not rely on verbal claims without matching blockchain evidence.
