looking to trade only with reputated users , il go First in that case

Sorry but GDAX.us is a scam

The real GDAX, (which belong to Coinbase) switched to "Coinbase Pro" https://pro.coinbase.com/ (they changed the name Source: GDAX is now Coinbase Pro (https://blog.coinbase.com/gdax-is-now-coinbase-pro-b062a12758a0)).
Also, the domain was .com not .us and on its website, the About Us Page is filled with fake photos

Here are a few conversations about GDAX.us

So you tell me that i got Scammed ? i just Sold a Digital Good for 850 USD there

Yes you are!

As LeGaulois given links above then its already a solid proof that this Gdax.us is a scam.Just asking, how you do end up on finding this site?

You didn't realize you were robbed by a phishing GDAX site. Nothing feels more upsetting when you thought you have something but actually have nothing. This is why its best to keep updated and ask the people here before doing anything else. 850USD worth of BTC could be worth $5k one day but with this bad news, you realize you have nothing to trade.

Damn, I'm sorry dude but you lost your $850 to the scammers. Why did you feel for it? You can simply ask around the forum before you do the trades. Or you can used friendly "Google" to and research prior. Let this be a expensive lessons for you to learn. There are a lot of scammers out there, and don't trust anyone with your money because transactions are irreversible.

Few options there for your to exchange your bitcoin into cash. 

Here on forum you can see the board called exchanges where you find the traders sell and buy bitcoin for payment options. May be accept paypal, skill or payoneer.
Else
You can transfer your bitcoin to localbitcoins.com and sell the bitcoin for fiat cash with the available traders there. Do not forget to use the escrow while you deal here on this forum.

OP,I also believed I might be scammed by the mentioned exchange site but let's think about the second possibility cause I don't want to us to hump into conclusion here since the exchange site was said to be from London. Why don't you download an electrum (https://electrum.org/#download) mobile version or PC which you can do the scan QR code payment by yourself to confirm if the exchange site was totally scam.

How did you find fake GDAX?

I can't even see this in google except for bitcointalk threads about this fake GDAX.
I was thinking maybe you are just posting the gdax link to get linked here on the forum so that the fake GDAX can be rankup in google and replace the orig GDAX position?

This fake GDAX Registered On:2019-03-17 which is pretty new that is why I'm thinking if how did you find this fake GDAX?


I didn't know that GDAX switched to new domain(Coinbase pro). I thought that they are still running with old GDAX exchange.

Newbies nowaday always discovered an unusual site out of nowhere which is not even advertised or mentioned in various big crypto platforms e.g forums, social media, messaging group apps etc.

Anyways OP, so you actually saw that you have $850 on that site since you have mentioned you have some funds there. It should not be possible.

From there, I think you are trying to manipulate users here.

So you need to make sure you send bitcoins, because you can lose them forever and now you must come to terms with the loss of bitcoins.

Thanks for sharing this valuable information, members like you are helping this community grow. I have more trust on my fellow forum friends now. I wish I had some merits to give you. I was about to use gdax the fake one. You literally saved me from being scammed.

Trading of bitcoin is quiet easy and simple now than before where it's really difficult to go through. Now escrow services has made it easier just like we have LUNO and the rest which you are aware of Luno is quiet simple to go through and it's well used.

No one do that as what LeGaulois replied with a solid proof. You're already get scammed by accepting to uses GDAX as what I have read on the links shared by LeGaulois, so better to stop because no one will accept that better to lock this thread or edit your thread for the safety of yhe others.

you can trade on bitcoin. i think before the trade you had better observe the price changing of bitcoin. as a beginner there are many places to observe bitcoin and other alt-coins. you will be able to find many number of sites which related to this topic, just search 'bitcoin' in google.most of the investors and experts in currencies are post graph details and predictions about bitcoin. you can observe those and begin trade in any exchange

I don't know whohc wallet you want to transfer to that is giving $750 for $850 worth of Bitcoin. Are there no other wallets that you know that are more useful and cheap than that one you have mentioned? Maybe you should withdraw from that GDax to blockchain wallet and use it to buy whatever it is that you want to buy. If you mentioned the wallet you're using and the place you want to do the purchase, it would have been more easy for people here to help you.

Why the topic-starter didn't store he's bitcoins on electrum wallet, but on a 3rd-party site? As a result, he lost his money. I don't understand why people so trust 3rd-party services and platforms to store their deposits. By giving their money to 3rd-party sites, such people refuse 1 of the main advantages of cryptocurrency - freedom, freedom of ownership and disposal of your money. So hard to learn to use electrum?

There are lots of exchanges available where you can trade your bitcoins and other altcoins. As for me i use Luno exchange and it is fast and accurate.

Well maybe you didn't understand properly but the issue here isn't that he trusted a 3rd party site but that he got scammed (the real GDAX is legitimate and a perfectly fine way to get Bitcoin). I mean to be fair the only way most people can buy Bitcoin is through a 3rd party site. Even if you buy p2p you could still get scammed. The only no scam way to get BTC is to mine it.

I'm confused here, did you just say GDAX.us? Man the GDAX I know doesn't go by that name and recently GDAX has evolved to become Coinbase Pro and this is their website  - https://pro.coinbase.com. So if your wallet is still showing GDAX then I'm sorry to say that you're using the wrong site and by the way the main site I know is not even using the dot.us domain. You really need to check that wallet and see if you can get your money moved to another wallet asap, if not, then I'm sorry to say that your money is gone for good.

Looking forward to the response the author of this topic. I really wonder where did his $ 850 and whether he could return them.

Oh no sorry mate, I see you're new to the system, even some of the older ones on this platform or elsewhere also do get scammed by this phishing sites. I guess this should teach others lesson on how to make proper researches before sending funds to any kind of crypto exchange platform.

the op mentioned gdax and i think gdax is not a scam or a phished website  .


you mean where did he get his 850 usd ? no one knows  .  maybe he is a business man and had alot of cash or maybe he stole it to someones else ?

@op if you want to trade your bitcoins  , yuo can try trading it on the exchange section of this forum  . here is the link : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0

 He doesn't seems replying for his exchange of GDAX but as I research this coin is scam and some discussions are about that.
If he needs to exchange the bitcoins for any payment option you could check it on exchange section on this board.

Nope selling the tokens back will not be possible and market growth may decide if that listed on any reputed exchanges.

It seems he got scammed and as we know once you lose control of your coins then it is impossible to recover them, I am sorry for the OP and this should not happen but we must be alert because this is becoming more common, scammers are realizing that as crypto becomes more popular the average users knows less and less about computers so they are easier to scam.

You can use any site exchange

LOL GDAX itself a exchange dude. See more about this project on this ICObench link...
https://icobench.com/exchange/gdax

I am not sure still he want to exchange the BTC at that site or their own tokens worth of that mentioned USD value.

Yes there are so may site in the market all of them will offer you good exchanges but trust me most of them are not trust worthy, we should try to obtain benefit with legal and good sites for trading, other additional advise from my side is that now is time to hold and trading now is not going to make profit for you so please keep holding later on you will get huge trading profit.

i think you already know that gdax.us is scam and yet your trying and waiting for someone who grab your bait. Sorry but you cant do any illegal here. And one more thing please stop scamming other people,  believe in bad karma.
