Title: HitBTC SCAM
Post by: dsmyrk on January 20, 2018, 08:56:26 AM
For over a week i had tried to withdraw btc from my HitBTC account and was continually given a error message stating that currency operations were not available, aka, you cannot withdraw your funds. I sent continual emails asking when this would be rectified. I was given the runaround and told that "engineers" were trying to resolve the issue and now instead, my account has been disabled and i can no longer even log into yet, let alone access, trade or withdraw any assetts. I have been given a generic email response that their "team" are looking into the situation and all further attempts to contact HitBTC have been completely ignored. My assetts are being held hostage and I have been completely blocked from accessing them. I set up an affiliate programme in September 2017 and brought 83 people to HitBTC and this is how i am repayed, with fraudulent, bordering on criminal activity.

Very scary and I've experienced the same case in Hitbtc. but I may be lucky, I sent the ticket and 6 days later my problem is over.
I always make sure the Exchange always responds to user complaints, and Hitbtc has done it.

It's really risky to use hitbtc now , it could easily become on of the top exchanges in the industry but instead they decided to list every single coin with a fees of more than 20 btc. Hitbtc = yobit , i had deposited few coins it took 2 weeks for them to process it. Regarding the ip block try logging in from some other ip if it doesn't work that means your funds are gone , all you can do is wait.

@stan86

This price is ok, but you should know, Cindicator is very suspicious for being a money laundering instrument - like several other cryptos with sudden "explosions" in price/24h volume/market cap since the beginning of december 2017.

For example:

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/cindicator/

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/vibe/

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/latoken/

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pivx/

and here the most suspicous one:

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/cardano/   24h volume at 21.30h GMT: 405 million USD  ??? ???

Well I withdrawn more than one bitcoin from hitbtc just few days ago and moved them into other exchange without any problem and the transaction was almost instant, I received my bitcoin in another exchange less then 30 minutes of my processing.

I don't think HitBTC scams. Because I've traded here, and to do that. There wasn't a lot of trouble . But I have seen HitBTC's Transaction problems. Time is a big problem. It is slower than other exchanges, withdrawal fee's also.

VERY SEVERE FACTS ABOUT HITBTC

1) At the end of their homepage you can find the following info in very small letters: HIT Solution Inc. All rights reserved.

And now read here, please:

https://digiconomist.net/fraud-risk-assessment-hitbtc

2) But that´s not all. HitBTC does not only manage a public exchange but also an OTC market in partnership with ExtendedDealer.com.

https://hitbtc.com/otc

http://extendeddealer.com/  

(I suspect OTC trading is main business of HitBTC - probably with money launderers, too.)

3) At the end of ExtendedDealers website you find the following info in small letters: Operated by AA Brothers OÜ (at Tallinn/Estonia). OÜ is the Estonian contraction for LTD (Limited Company)

On the website of Creditinfo Eesti AS I found the following info about this company in English translation:

Main activity: Activities of legal advisors and law offices

https://www.e-krediidiinfo.ee/12857651-AA%20BROTHERS%20AS

Nothing about OTC trading - not at all !

CONCLUSION: HITBTC IS HIGH-GRADE DUBIOUS.

<<November 23, 2017

Today HitBTC has offered a step up for its advanced traders by introducing “over-the-counter” (OTC) markets in partnership with Extendeddealer.com, a service with proven expertise in producing deep liquidity for OTC deals.
Such partnership between a major exchange and an expert OTC trading company is unprecedented. Bringing together the clienteles of both platforms opens up broader possibilities for all participants, allowing to reach out to tens of thousands of traders globally.
“HitBTC is excited to facilitate large scale transactions for our traders by introducing OTC markets, especially as we are confident about the liquidity provided by our partner Extendeddealer.com” – notes the platform’s product manager Paul Clarkson. “Our traders have been anticipating this opportunity and  buyers and sellers are already actively setting up deals”.
OTC trading exists outside of centralized exchanges, as suggested by the title. Trades are performed directly between the two parties according to the reached agreement. The price of the trade is agreed upon between the buyer and seller and the trade stays off the public order books, not influencing the market value of an asset.>>


"...Extendeddealer.com, a service with proven expertise in producing deep liquidity for OTC deals."

From where will this deep liquidity probably come?

"... the trade stays off the public order books, not influencing the market value of an asset."

OTC market isn´t totally separated from public market. There are inputs and outputs between both markets, and I think there is running the game "left pocket - right pocket".

The head behind the OTC cryptoexchange „ExtendedDealer.com“ and three Tallinn based companies


http://www.yourlawyers.eu/oleg.roshchin/

According to his LinkedIn profile Roshchin is an owner and CEO of this Riga based lawyer company, but his activities at Tallinn stay hidden.

Here his googled functions at Tallinn companies:

CEO of Lareda Group OÜ – Tallinn, Kiili tn 20-64 – declared business activity: wholesale trade

CEO of AA Brothers OÜ – Tallinn, Tornimäe tn 7-152 – declared business activity: legal consulting

CEO of Livonia Contractor Ltd. - same address as AA Brothers – declared business activity: other legal activities

These companies haven´t got websites, only email addresses. Very interesting the email address of Livonia: info(at)yourfinances.ee   

Searching for information with the items "legal advisors/consultants" and "financial advisors/consultants" under the address of AA Brothers and Livonia Contractor I got no results.

Yeah, I think they are more disposed to anonymity. But I don't think they scammers.....

50% of your posts are defending HitBTC in various scam accusation threads....I wonder why?.......
