Bitcoin Forum

Hello guys,

i am relative new in crypto. So i wasn´t aware of the warnings regarding yobit exchange.
There are dozens of active coins in "maintenance mode", which means ppl are not able to withdrawal.
Support tickets weren´t answered and there is totally silent from their side.

I´ll hope that someone is able to provide me some details of the owners of yobit. I am firmly determined to take
legal action against the scammers. I am also well connected to some regions in russia where my wifes ancestors
came from.

For helpfull information i am willing to donate some bucks. I am not sure it is worth the effort, but i refuse to accept
this obvious kind of scam.

To all newbies:



Hope to hear from someone with helpful informations. I am desperate.............................

Anyone outside who is able to provide some details about yobit, like ownership, address, etc.? Would be much appreciated.......

The admin of the YoBit exchange is YoBit (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=406594) on here as well, and is reasonably active so you could always contact them.

YoBit is shit but they're legit, I'm 98% sure that you'll get your coins eventually.

A month never goes by without someone complaining about yobit, if they truly are legit then why are they ignoring their clients?

Yobit is indeed in a bad state right now,they should have add more staffs than ignoring their tickets,one report that is great concern is,they are not fixing those coin's wallet in their trading platform,so many traders lose their coins because of the wallet issue,I will not be surprise if traders boycott them.

They have always been terrible in terms of customer service but they could at least get the basics down. Lately it's more like a MtGox situation where everything is going to shit. Maybe their sig spammers brought in enough users that they're about to do a huge exit scam.

It does look like they are going to do an exit scam after they get rid of their useless coins and make a bit more money or get enough usefull currency they can use on their next scam.

I have coins there too. Is there any chance to get them out of "maintenance"? It is not possible to exchange them into another currency, because the rate is far away from a reasonable rate as on Bittrex. That is f******* unsatisfactory. Are there informations upon the owners, addresses, etc.? i would love to "visit" them   >:( >:( >:(

@andromeda66 i feel your pain. I am on it, collecting informations. Send you a PM. I am going to hunt them down, at all costs. Count on me!  ;)

The only thing that you must is just wait for the maintenance to finish tho. Yobit is a huge exchange and loaded with many shitcoins that's why they are loaded with many pending job. They have only few staff. But don't yah worry guys. Yobit always fix their issue even though their site was very poor on graphics. Yobit was a trusted exchanged site for me.  ;D

Comeon yobit has been here for years and they should have saved enough funds to pay more staff and make sure their service always runs smoothly, they are just doing this on purpose.

I hope they are real the information that you will give to us,not the guy who boasted that he has videos about yobit scamming but cannot prove the existence of those videos and try to sell those videos for 10 bitcoin.

This is what a user in another forum spread about YoBit, which is unconfirmed, but looks very weird to me. It would be great if the admin of YoBit could enlighten me about this, and if this is actually true.

(Sorry for hijacking your thread)

Fair enough: Everyone with doubts can go to his yobit account, searching for ION coin and click on the withdrawal tab. The wallet is on maintenanance for month now, although there is a active community, well listed at Bittrex with resonable volume. There are no reactions from support the last 4 weeks now. There are dozens of wallets like this. Customers complaining in chat that they are not able to withdrawal. Best case is really really bad customer support. Worst case is going full MGtox..............

Yeah, that's definitely a problem and a bad sign when any business ignores customers' complaints.   But yobit has always come through.   They haven't turned out to be a scam yet, even though people have been accusing them of it since the beginning.   If you're patient, those withdrawals will happen.  Don't know why anyone would want to trade those shitcoins anyway.

Yeah the best thing to do right now is to simply stay away.

There is really nothing you can do to get their support responding to your messages even though you know they are online, as new coins are added every single day on Yobit(actually new shitcoins everyday, lol).

Yobit doesn't even have the most competitive fee schedule. Just use bittrex or polo instead.

Just a reminder. Need some details about Yobit like ownership, business related addresses, people in charge etc.. I would like to hunt them down. Th in advance!

I don't think you can get it here,if this is already available people would have posted it here since there were a lot of issues about Yobit in the past,you will have to dig deep or hire people who are good in tracing people and company .

No Yobit is not scam, but newbie MUST stay away from it because many dead coin no updated.
Yobit support is famous of not such responsive.

For newbies, If someone refer u to yobit, the people cant be trusted.

This is one of the aspects from them that I truly despise. The exchange lists pretty much any utter shitcoin, even those that are dead. It is completely unmaintained in that regard.

I don't understand why that is. If they have trouble keeping up, they should just hire more support staff. You are right regarding the slowness of their support staff, which is something that we've observed in the past.

---

As far as the OP is concerned, there is really nothing to go on here. I don't plan on tagging the exchange unless I see reasonable proof for each case of scamming.

Are you serious? 90 % of all wallets in maintenance. No support answer for month. We are an active community with grest dev's and working wallet. Our dev team contacted them several month ago without any response. They are hijacking my coins worth 30k $. I wont let them come through with this shit, that's for sure, at all costs. Believe me they will regret f****** with me.......

I'm aware of some requests to them that haven't been responded to, or some that are taking an horribly long amount of time. So what?

What coins, and where is the proof? If you can post reasonable proof, I will leave them a negative rating.

It has always been with yobit but people kept using that exchange still. I do. I like playing dice there with the coins i get freely as  well.

One thing you can request on their chat is to cancel your withdrawal of an altcoin. That's it and convert it to BTC.

Every one who reads your post including me are ready to give yobit a red tag but we want real proof or screenshots of the coins that you cannot withdraw or held,so many accusations about yobit but real proof are not being posted.

I am on vacation and will return thursday. What kind of proof do you looking for? I am able to provide screenshots if this helps?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=914975.msg18653941#msg18653941


^^^^^^^^^^ several complaints like this ^^^^^^^^^^

oh yeah , I am going to fuck them up wait for it .
They messed with the wrong guy

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1880919.msg18690732#msg18690732

Why haven't you provided anything so far?

It would be really helpful if you weren't posting in several threads at the same time.

---

Due to various user complaints in regards to many different altcoins, I have left the exchange a negative trust rating. This rating will remain until these issues are resolved.

Don´t know how to post screenshots here....any ideas?

Based on donation after success, you will surely find investigators and litigators!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

this is interresting: Everyone who brings my ION back will get 10k ION or the amount worth in $.
Escrow of course!!!! PM me!

Wait, translate this to readable English?

You have coins worth $30,000?

How much in $ are you willing to forward after collection?

Estimated equivalent 2.01 BTC?

Lol.......on Yobit the rate is 3.000 sat because of wallet in maintenence. ION is tradeable on Bittrex the rate is 40.000 sat. You do the math. AND you can withdraw from Bittrex because it's a trustworthy exchange and not such a s**** like Yobit.

Why no one from Yobit is answering here? No Admin, No Mods? Surprised!
Above all its a scam accusation against Yobit.

I believe that, not everyone, not everything is 100% perfect. So their customer service is slow.
But I have always received quick response from them..

Do you talked with chat mod "domini" he is always active..

From my beginning I am using Yobit without any issue.
Though it doesn't requires me to withdraw other coins from Yobit. I do only withdraw bitcoin.

Wishing you good luck to settle the issue and recover your money.

I don't know how is it possible to get back your Ion without Yobit permission,they are the only one who can get this back to you chatboard is a good place to post your concern if your ticket is not getting answer Dominic is online most of time there ask him about your ticket .

You shouldn't be surprised though. The last time that I neg. rated Yobit along with shorena, it took them a while to actually respond (shorena was also contacting them via twitter).

There is a major difference between slow and incompetent.

I suggest that you withdraw your money, and stay away from it.

You are scaring me Lauda.. Now I am in hyper tension about it..  ::) :-\
Though it won't be easy for me to leave yobit instantly. Because of the altcoins I have there.

I will keep your suggestion in mind and follow.. Thank you!

I don't think yobit was a scam, it's been a year that this exchange platform being established in this industry. Even many of the critic members often said yobit is a scam site exchange still it continuously stand and many coins applied to their site. which means yobit established community here too. And even there are other coin in there under maintenance still there traders still doing trade to their platform, meaning they comply the needs of their clients anyhow.

At the latest when their coins going into maintenance for month, than the biggest fanboy will cry scam.

You somewhat should be concerned about it. Every time an exchange runs into *mysterious* issues that keep expanding, they usually ended up with a scam (see Mt. Gox, Cryptsy for examples).

That means nothing, and you don't know what you're talking about. By not allowing these people for withdrawing for a long time, for whatever reason, Yobit is effectively denying them their rightful money. Therefore, Yobit is also effectively scamming them. Additionally, not providing any response for a prolonged time is a display of high incompetence.

@scammedbyYobit

Did you find a free ride meanwhile?

No.....nothing so far....

I would not deposit funds to that site just based on their WHOIS.

http://whois.domaintools.com/yobit.net

The domain is registered with a Russian registrar and is using privacy registration. Lots of scam sites follow this pattern. Russian domain registrars are known for ignoring abuse complaints and protecting the domain owners.

My withdraw  has also been stuck for over two weeks. I have written serveral messages to support but never get an answear. This is the worst exchange I have ever used. I warn everyone to use this yobit.net scam site.

With to many complaints,I am slowly moving my coins from Yobit to other more reputable exchange,but it's very tempting to trade on Yobit because they do a lot of pump of coins even dead coins get pump.

Since you're tempted to trade then better atleast be tempted to stay away too on it with all these complaints and still having no answers on their side. Actually some of my friends online was scammed by this site too but since it isn't that high, they didn't do anything unto it. And yeah, all kinds of shitcoins are still being pumped into their sites that makes their site laggy and can't even be load on mobile.
By the way, I suggest moving your coins unto Bittrex or Poloniex for trading purposes only. But always remember to use 2FA factor authentication since I always gets a notification on my email on those sites that my account there are being opened by someone. Until now I haven't putted a 2FA since I don't do trading.

We have > 900 coins now and we know about issues with withdrawals on some coins.

New servers for wallets cluster ready, in the next 2 weeks we'll try to fix a lot of stucked coins.
We bring our apologies.

I think most of the people having issues recently are trying to withdraw coins that aren't really being maintained by the developer anymore,
and might need wallet maintenance.

I've never had a problem getting my signature campaign earnings, moving money to Yobit, or withdrawing it.
The site has been working better than Poloniex over the last few days, actually.
If I had any issues with Yobit I would not be promoting them and would be the first to report any issues, trust me.

I'm waiting for the coinonat wallet issue to be fixed and hope so you can fix this issue in another 2 weeks else the coin will lose its value and I won't be able to withdraw it as well. Also, if the wallet is having issues, will these coins not be available to trade on yobit itself or only they can't be withdrawn to another wallet? I have some open trades of CXT and hence asked.

What about fixing the DIME wallet?

Can not withdraw DCR, wallet on maintenance.
Support not responding.
What is going on Yobit?

RISE withdraw stuck with status In Process. Please fix this too. Thanks.

Do not forget support cluster upgrade

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1930563.msg19327364#msg19327364

16 days - support is silent

Well, lesson learned. Never ever use them again. My RISE withdrawal is still pending. Worst is that there's zero response from support on my tickets. And they claim to respond within 24 hrs lol.

all wthdrwls-waiting/scammed guys, let's try to write a complain on this shitty exchange-site , they should be marked as SCAM with their official topic in Russian thread. As you see, Yobit even didn't try to solve the problems and force withdrawals, just blablabla as they usually do. they have no coins and crypto-pairs are faked, goxification is coming soon.

17 days - support still silent

please give us an update

18 days...

P.S. I'm not very good in English, who can/want to help to translate? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1946306

I checked the Op post and he still active,but only active posting on Yobit's threads directly attacking yobit's reputation but you are right he should have updated this thread but based on all his post,yobit did not address his issues.

You are right - attacking their reputation is the only thing I can do.


Итaк, 19 днeй -


New ticket. Translation -
19 days... ...Coins are not credited to the account on a repeatedly confirmed transaction and there is no response from support for reasons.

Yobit RISE withdrawal stuck with status "In process" for a week now. No response from support or admins. SCAM :) Never even trade at Yobit again.

YOBIT is listing new coins, but they fail to respond to PAID SUPPORT TICKETS. They are even too lazy to collect the fee.

Stop using the scammers.

Or there are no support at all imagine even a paid support is not being answer,if they ignore paid support what more with free ones I strongly believe they made more money from ico much more from fixing wallets and paid support,these are the nreason why they are losing reputation.

I confirm: although with a considerable delay, but the coins are credited.
I apologize for the overly harsh words.

Some of fixed coins:

- XNX (xanax) fixed
- LOOT - fixed
- MM - fixed
- NODES - fixed
- STRP - fixed
- TBCX - fixed/resync
- TIT - fixed

Hello,

It's been now more than 6 days that I am waiting for my withdrawal of Dice coin and still nothing happened, the status is still in "In process" I have made 5 tickets and now answer got yet ? What's the problem with YOBIT ?

It's been an hour but until now my bitcoincash withdrawal hasn't arrive and I guess I should not expect to arrive anymore I just become one of their victim I'm glad I'm out of their campaign, people should stop patronizing and promoting this exchange.

Yobit doesn't let me to withdraw NTRN coins since July 2017. And support every time answers that withdrawal will be fixed soon.

I think its obvious that YOBit is a dying horse. They talk about improvements to the site and how things are better and bedtter, but they cannot fix the existing issues they have. Support tickets that are not responded to, coins that are locked out or put in Maint mode forever... What do you expect people to think?

Want people to stop calling you a scam?


1) Stop making stupid changes to your site till you have addressed the EXISTING problems. Adding 20 markets for the coins is stupid when you cant work with the ones you have.
2) Address your current problems. If you will never fix a coin, or if it is not fixable let people know and close trading for it.
3) When a coin is not fully functional, make it clear. Right now the only way to know if withdrawals are allowed is to buy coins and try it.
4) Hire support staff.
5) Remove outright lies from your FAQ like this:
 
***** How quickly does the Support Team respond to the request? ↑
Major quantity of responses comes to users within an hour, but sometimes it takes up to 24 hours to send the response. We are working at improvement of Support Team performance.

Till you do this, nothing else you say matters. If my coins were not stuck at your exchange I would have moved on already... as soon as they are available I will do just that.

easy, they have locked 1/2 the coins up and prevent you from withdrawing them.

Because scam coins need a exchange to dump! So the dev can make his money. Then repeat with a new coin!
Pure alt is about to e listed there. The dev is the poster child for a dev that is scamming. i wrote a big article about that.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2328298.0

The price wil tank so hard because the dev will dump and the new customers that buy Pure won't be able to withdraw due to some unforeseen wallet problem. People will dump...

a year ago i mine and eleven months i know yobit is crap, every time i find a new coin the first thing i do is to look if it's not just listed on yobit and in if i miss, yobit is simply a bad gambling site

Hahaha yeah Yobit is Legit but I just dont want to spend my savings to that site cause I that site is so shit ! and also supports are too long to respond !

Another scam exchange!

Well maybe they don't have any choice? But I doubt it as we have many trusted exchanges that only have minimal issues ( still exchanges always have issues ).

Personally, I haven't use yobit as I always heard that it always have a delayed transactions and sometimes transaction never got confirmed but thing came up that I need to use yobit as I'm having hard time in wavesdex but I'm like stuck in the space, my nerves are fighting in my head if I use it or not but my sub conscious mind says NO so I immediately log out my account and didn't sell my coins. Like I'm too afraid to lose my coins, like what I'm trying to say here that we're all responsible in all our actions, like use-that-exchange-at-your-own-risk.

PM/Chat Logs:

I opened five tickets support, i sent private message in bitcointalk and bits.media, MMGP and until now nothing.
Stay away from the Yobit exchange!!!

45 days no support? I opened six tickets support - no answer.
Stay away from the Yobit exchange!!!

There were warnings everywhere already about sending altcoins to them and having a hard time withdrawing. I have the hardest time trying to make them reply to my inquiries. Send some btc to you account like 0.001 and then chat with them on the troll box. Mods will reply to you there.  That's when you can get a response from them about your ticket. What I can suggest is that let them cancel your withdrawal and then sell your coins for BTC. Withdrawing BTC is no problem with them.

Copy/paste from one of the many other Yoshit scam threads:


@BCT moderators - stop advertising this scam - kill their thread please.

Bought ecash using 0.45 bitcoin. Balance is not reflected in ecash wallet and support has not replied to my tickets.

They have scammed me out of 1.1 million FJC. Withdrawal stuck in a black hole for two weeks then my account is banned for complaining. The only 'support' seems to be trolls who laugh at you in the trollbox if you point out your problem. This exchange is outright THEFT.

STAY AWAY FROM YOBIT.  :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
