hi is this exchange scam bit-blaze.com
did anyone tried it

It's a scam broker site that is scamming its users. They convince you that you can trade with them and make a withdrawal, but at the end of the day, whatever you deposit there can never be withdrawn from the platform.

 Source  (https://who.is/whois/bit-blaze.com)
The website is also very new for them to have the kind of traffic they claim they do,

And if I may ask, how did you come about this platform? Was it given to you by some random user you met online? Or from an email from a random address you don't know about.

im trying to withdraw 700$ that i received from a user in that site that why i was asking i hope its not scam
since he said he was using it for year and half without issues and that the domain changed month ago because of a hack
i sold him a game account and he send me 700$ on that site

When you try to withdraw did they ask you to pay for any kind of fee? Or what’s the challenge that you are having which is obstructing you from getting the $700 out.

Because that’s what most of this scam sites do, they lure you into having a balance with their platform which you will want to withdraw but when you click their that’s when they will start requesting for information which are not available and from their you will be asked to pay for something’s which are not necessary before you will be allowed to make a withdrawal out from the broker.

nope it sent without issues and showing pending but i didnt receive it yet on my binance account its around 30 mins ago im not planning to use the site anyway
i just want to send the 700$ to my binance because my client account exceed monthly withraw limit from this blaze site and only internal transfers allowed for him

If you make findings to know if the site is a scam, you will know that it likely a scam. Avoid that site. Any money sent to their address is gone.

I do not think the price is even updating on the site. I have just taken this screenshot on the site when I went to their trading section. When bitcoin is over $70000 as of now, the site displayed $29156.39.

+ i didnt sent anything to them but i received an internal 700$ amount which trying to send to my binance

You should not receive payment on a platform you are not familiar with just as you should not use an escrow you do not trust. $700 is a significant amount and you should have been more careful.

As it stands this is 99% a scam and they might want to try and take more money from you. Check on a block explorer with your address on the site if there is any outgoing transaction.

i didnt give him the account infos yet i told him that i will after i receive the money on my binance

So he sent you log ins to a random site, or you had an account before? What would be the need to give him an account info when you have received the money on your Binance?

You have most likely been scammed. If there is anyway you can regain control of your game account, you should try that.

bro i didnt give him the game account yet i was planning to hand it over after i withdraw the money he sent be on Blaze to my binance wallet
he just asked me to sign up on blaze because he overpassed the withdraw monthly limit so i registred and completed KYC
im a trusted seller on epicnpc that why he accepted to send me money first

You should not have sent your private documents to a random site, your identity can be sold and used for illegal activities in the future.

I will suggest you stop dealing with that individual, except they are willing to send your payment to a wallet your are familiar with. Going forward, also only receive payment through channels you suggest, to protect yourself.

yeah i will i just hope that i can receive this payment
1 hour left still showing pending the platform claimed that withdraw should take between 30 and 60 mins
update withdraw declined  :(

The buyer should not be the one to tell you the platform to receive payment, that is very shady. Have you done business with this person before, because the whole thing looks very suspicious.

Anyway, you haven't lost money yet, but you have handed over your data to that suspicious exchange. If they ask you to deposit money in order to withdraw what the buyer sent, do not send anything, it is a scam. Next time receive funds in services you trust and that are reputable.

thnx man they asking for more verificatio what you suggest

You should be aware that there are platforms that trying to deceive you by pretending that they are sending you some amount which  in your case is a $700. Also be careful if that exchange would tell you that you need to deposit some amount they ask before you can withdraw the funds you are requesting to take out of that platform since for sure they are 100% scam.

To many incident like this happened before and there are innocent people got caught on this methods they use since those innocent victim believe that what those scammers tell them is true so deposit the amount said and then get scam by those guys. For declining your withdrawal request it shows thay they are shady exchange so you need to be aware and be careful on their next action.

Be cautious dealing with unknown platform since they don't have good reputation yet. Always use the exchange where it already acquired good reputation to a lot of people globally since can assure our safety with them.

I don't think you should send them any more documents of yours. Contact the person you are doing business with and tell them to send the funds into a service/platform of your own choice. This platform is unknown and suspicious, and it is dangerous to give them more information about you, but it is still your call.

Have you done business with this person before? How did you meet them?

they asking for more verification which require a deposit of 100$ minimum
i tried to send the 700$ back to the sender but still showing an error message
the problem is that i cant send back the money to the sender
i asked the support to send the sender back his money but they didnt respond
https://prnt.sc/Pux5WDc2Pevb

Coyster he added me on discord i just want to give him back his money and end this issue

Just as we all thought, that exchange is a scam and any deposit you send there is lost for good. As a matter of fact, the more you deposit funds there, they would keep coming up with more excuses and asking you to make more deposits.
There is no way you can do that, there is actually no money there to be sent. Don't you get it, this is a scam.
I think the buyer and the exchange are all in this together, if i were you i'd block that person and forget about all this. Do not let that person pressure you into making a deposit into a scam exchange.

i dont mind blocking him but im afraid epicnpc ban my account may claim i did scam him and that he did send me the money
im selling accounts in epicnpc since 2020 and dont want to get banned

It's a scam and you shouldn't entertain the guy anymore. If you haven't given him what he was trying to buy from you yet, that's great, because if he had gotten what he was looking for, you would be at a loss but if you haven't yet handed over the property, don't do it.

There are a lot of such scams over the internet these days where you are sent money in an unknown website and to withdraw that money, they would ask you for more money to activate the account or to verify it or something, and when you do that because you think you will get everything back, you won't see them ever again.

So do this, message the guy and tell him that the website won't let you withdraw the funds, and you will only deal with him if he agrees to send your payment directly to your wallet or in another platform where you wish to receive the payment. If he refuses to do that, don't deal with him.

It's going to be completely up to you. When it comes to privacy, we have different levels of tolerance. Some would never provide personal details while others are open for it.

However, in your case, since it involves a site that's highly probable to be a scam, if I were in your shoes, I won't undergo verification and won't release the details of the account you're selling. It will most likely be pointless anyway. They will just ask money from you as a matter of requirement for your withdrawal activation. But after giving them money, they will again make an excuse or demand more. This would go on and on and on until you realize they already made you a big joke.

You should not get in any trouble with the proof you have, you could also ask them to ban that guy since he is a scammer but I doubt he cares.
The main problem is that in a screenshot I saw you have sent some sort of documents, well your identity is exposed at this point to a scammer, and if those are IDs then the guy knows who you are and can even sell those copies.

If you need to explain to epicnpc what happened it's pretty simple:
- a guy contacted you, and asked you if he could pay via internal transactions on a fake website he's the owner of
- you registered there but the funds can't be withdrawn as obviously, that transfer is fake
- the guy got your documents and is asking for more money to release you 700$.

What's worse with this thing is that maybe some other buyers will get scammed this way on that forum, I doubt he will stop if he's making that much from a sale.

thnx man i blocked him on discord and epicnpc mods said that they are aware of that scam exchange and that i should not have an issue
i send just the front of my ID card which is on Arabic so it shouldnt be a problem the only issue is that he know my full name and birthday
but i doubt he can do much with that

I'm glad you asked for help and didn't make the mistake of sending the money before asking questions. I could see you're a newbie here and you might also be new to the crypto space, so here are some advice. Avoid persons coming to your DM on social media and trying to convince you to invest in high yield investments, they're scammers. Avoid clicking links sent by strangers, their intentions is to hack your account or drain your wallet. Avoid online dating sites, they're breeding grounds for scammers.

I hope you wont have any problems, but honestly, even showing the front of your ID is a bit much for this situation.  If this scammer gets hold of that info, they could sell it on the dark web, which could lead to even more more targeted attacks in the future.  So, best to avoid that next time.  And of course, dont even think about sending them money!  Scammers love to make up stories and promises to get as much cash out of people as they can.  Just keep your wallet shut and walk away.

It's a scam site mate and it is more likely that the person you communicate with is also from the team of scammers if you ask me. If you are not planning to use it then you should just do that instead of using it. Seems we have nothing to worry about since you are not planning on using their site. Asking to deposit a $100 before you can withdraw is also a sign of a site being a scam site. If it's really legit then they wouldn't have required or asked you to deposit $100 to be able to withdraw the so called $700 supposedly the payment for the account that you will give when you received the payment to your binance account.

I’m glad that you were able to avoid getting scammed. You made a good decision to ask for advice on the forum before proceeding with the business deal. This is an attitude I wish other people have, I’m tired of seeing scam victims come to forum to report a fake investment platform after losing their money to the scammers. It’s medicine after death situation because there is no way we can help them get back their money.

I’m only concerned about your ID that you sent to the exchange, these bad actors could do a lot of damage with just a front page of a ID card.

I don't know if you're a noob in cryptos outside this forum as it's suggestive of your rank here. If you're a newbie and virtually a newcomer to this industry, my advice to you would be to steer clear off unpopular sites. Stick to sites that are popular or you do your research first before committing to them. Scammers are getting wiser. Do all you can to avoid anything that's not clear to you. For me, I'm not one who likes trying new things that involve financial commitment until I know it's genuine. The site you mentioned is a new one to me. I wouldn't send funds to it if I were you. If an exchange isn't rated on popular coin sites, I don't give it a second thought.
