MEXC Crypto Exchange Releases Scam Reports: Key Takeout
According to the platform’s second quarter risk control overview, released today mexc,Reducing platform fraud attempts is the product of an AI-driven fraud detection system, focusing on addressing local vulnerabilities and establishing local response teams through recent education initiatives.

In the second quarter, more than 70,000 attempts to fraud linked to more than 8,500 organized criminal groups were blocked by the platform.
MEXC COO Tracy Jin emphasizes that the platform is evolving its fraud detection approach as fraud tactics and networks continue to evolve.
“The profits we made in the second quarter are the result of early intervention, local specialization and smarter tools. But education is still important. We want people to understand not just what happens when an account is flagged, but why.
She also emphasized that the segment should be treated as protection rather than as punishment.
Different regions, different trends
South Asia, a major hotbed of syndicated activities in the first quarter, showed the most significant improvement, according to the report. The region saw a 41% reduction in fraud-related activity due to speed of detection protocols, regional response team activities, and educational initiatives designed to help users find and avoid fraud.
However, Southeast Asia remains a region of concern, with attempts to fraud increasing by 11% QOQ, representing a sharp decline from the 1,300% recorded in the first quarter. Indonesia led regional fraud, accounting for 73% of Southeast Asia’s total, with an additional 18% increase from the results in the last quarter.
The CIS region recorded the biggest increase in scams detected over the quarter, with an increase of 83%.
AI-driven detection and real-time risk control protocol adopted by MEXC
At the heart of MEXC’s success in reducing fraudulent activity on the platform is a growth suite of AI-powered tools that analyse millions of chains and chain-off-chain data points, including login patterns, trading behaviors, and network activity for real-time fraud detection.
MEXC has also revealed that it will expand its use of AI to monitor market manipulation schemes such as spoofing, washing trading and pump and dump operations.
Although technical infrastructure and defense systems have been improved, MEXC says misinformation remains a key challenge to address. This is especially important for new users to understand why their accounts are flagged or transaction blocked.
To address this, MEXC is set to launch a global trading security and risk education campaign in August, explaining real-world case studies, how fraud detection tools work, and best practices for secure trading. The initiative aims to bridge information gaps and show users clearly how MEXC’s risk control system works.
