Bisq.
Any centralized crypto exchange will ultimately end up being a scam because there is no reason for centralized exchanges to exist at all. There is no reason for anyone to hold your funds for more than what it necessary to complete a transaction. Because of this, there is really no money to be made.

Decentralized, capable of anonymity, and with transparent prices. The last bit makes the huge spread of cryptocurrency more obvious, which would go a long way towards helping the casual user understand the volatility.
