Title: Huobi Pro - SCAM - BEWARE !!
Post by: muadib83 on January 16, 2018, 06:17:11 AM
Today - "someone" just went into my account in Huobi - I was so lucky I transfered all from there yesterday.

I have top security there - passport number, photo, Email, phone, G2 security - STILL "someone" just disabled my phone !! WOW !! - it wasnt working whole day. Now I got sms that someone logged in to my account.


Beware - all password/emails/phones are compromised - get out as fast as you can. Only Huobi had that information - I have no viruses, never given anyone my password, it isn't written anywhere.

Exchange did it or someone hacked them - both = get out !! or you can lose all.

I tried to participate in their ICOs but it instantly gets sold out each time as if there are bots buying. This is not legit and not fair for the community. I'm cashing out of that exchange. On top of that their reward and vip fees don't make sense, fees are still 4x higher than binance... What's the incentive in using that excahnge?

Are you the only one? Because if yes, the problem comes from your side for sure. Otherwise, we would see a lot of people posting about this already. And a lot of articles published on the news.
And in my opinion, you can't say a site is a scam if it has a security issue (if it's really the case). People like to wrongly overuse the word "scam"

I have to say I really like their website tho and security looks on point. I got my docs verified and to take money out of the exchange they use yr phone nummber, 2FA and email verification, which I find overwhelming. On top of that they ask your passport number

One ,they moved to South Korea after the Chinese bloodshed. South Korea is known for regulation. So your details are not only with Huobi,but with the regulatory authority of South Korea most probably. The security flaw can be from your side too,before you blame anything,provide proof that make sound.

Its not a Bot,its how freaking quick markets function,Huobi is one of the biggest exchanges of crypto,people are going crazy for its tokens. And those Vip fees are especially for Korean whales who like things to function quick,and Huobi makes a hell lot of profit from it. The reward system ,its technically not exactly a reward ,we all know who benefits from such rewards.

I don't invest in ICOs or anything related to such. I despise the investment in such. I only trade in exchanges, though it has reduced quite a lot recently. So sorry, can't help you out here.

I'm not really aware on Huobi issues recently specially related to this one. If op is the only one who do experience such thing then most likely the problem is really from the user because its quiet odd to assume that they are the ones who do make inside job and they wont really ruin their reputation for sure. Knowing this is included on top sites which do have high volume. The word of scam here is being used inappropriately.

It's obvious that the problem source comes from OPs side. It's probably his system or device that got compromised by a hacker, which is now messing everything up in the hope to steal funds.

An exchange itself doesn't need to mess with people's accounts to steal funds. They can just choose to withdraw an amount from their hot wallet and claim that they have been a victim of hackers.

People (for good reason) have become a bit paranoid when it comes to shady actions of exchanges, but they have to look at themselves as well, and that's something they don't seem to understand yet.

Ok so now I sent eth from a smart contract address for over 2weeks. Apparently their eth address on exchange don't support such transactions. Someone with a similar issue had this problem solved on Binance within 2days. Huobi staff told me to wait patiently but never gave me a timeframe. I wonder if I will see the money back one day and this will prove if Huobi.pro is a scam or not

Did anyone had this sort of issues in the past and can advise?

I once did trade STK in Huoabi, no serious problem.
all goes well, account verification is very easy and fast. I am very comfortable with this market.
if there is a problem should send a ticket, hopefully the problem is over.

One among the exchange with good reputation failing to such issues is simply a bad thing, Sometimes this could have caused due to unscheduled maintenance. I believe Op doesn't need to fear about the incident.

I think OP is just overreacting if it were a scam how could he get the chance to transfer his funds before it came to light? I mean why would a scam site tolerate transfer of funds if they are a scam? Basic logic right here.
