Buddy, not heard about this site. Better not to use this site.
Always use sites that have well reputation and is active in this forum . Why to take risk?. You can use kraken or shapeshift  instead of using unknown sites like bestbulkchanger.com

No, use Bittrex/Poloniex/Coinbase/Kraken/Gemini etc.
That website not only looks like crap with fake testimonials and all that, it's not even automatic, you "contact" these people through a form if you want to exchange which is bullshit.

They definitely a new site which means they don't have enough reputation to buy or used as exhange. Follow what @Emoclaw suggest those sites run for years and I just tell you that they need more personal details from their clients when you are going to use their exchange platform.

What actually you want to exchange? You can use changer.com if you want to exchange bitcoin to perfectmoney or viceversa. I have tried them before for small amount, just try them with small amount before trusting them completely.

bestbulkchanger looks scamy, don't use them at any cost.

You can use Poloniex or Bittrex, but if you are from US I will not suggest coinbase because of the of the issue 'tax invasion' just search it on google so you will find it. Or you can try also Localbitcoins.com, they are the only one I know since then.

Hi All,

Thanks for all your feedback and post. I read them all. Im a staff of this company.
Really people get scared of new site. We are new online does not mean we are new and do not have experience for exchange.

1. We are known locally in our country and we established our site link to serve international clients who were refereed to us by our country clients and since then many from other countries has joined us and get their ecurrency exchanged.

2. its not a crime to be a new company or have a new site.

3. not all new service are scam.

4. yes many service has scammed people but we have built our service in customer satisfaction, trust and integrity. We have no gain to scam anyone as when we satisfy our customers they will bring more customers to us and that means more business and more profit for us.

Finally,
When our service progress more we shall have a more unique website.

Thanks everyone bestbulkchanger.com is 100% genuine and we shall always remain real and genuine.


Regards,
Natalie.

This website bestbulkchanger.com is a scam with 99.9999% certaintly.
Here are the facts:

#1 Upon initial contact they asked if I want to exchange $3000 and then wrote many, many emails gradually lowering the sum to $900
#2 I sent them a few hundred bucks a few days ago, all I have now is them asking for more money (on numerous occasions) and telling stories about Poloniex
#3 Not only the site looks crappy, it's operated from another country than alleged company is registered in, and it's new
#4 They use @gmail.com account, not even setting up GSuite with their custom domain
#5 One of the words in their gmail username is wrong: should be bccwholesale; this means they probably changed it a couple of times already; or just illiterate
#6 My correspondence with them is 50 messages now, some are lengthy. This is for claimed fee of $20 that they would earn on this transaction. No legitimate business can spend that amount of time. Also, their operations are not automated
#7 If they are really experiencing issues with Poloniex, let them present the proof here
#8 They use different Payoneer email, not the @gmail one: pay@zizitrading.com
#9 Their threads on this forum are locked for comments, to prevent scammed users like me from posting

I had another user with similar email on this forum but that was hacked so I had to create this new one.

As what i see on the site i saw that their exchange page is not finish yet ..
Look at this page https://bestbulkchanger.com/exchange/ you can see a form which is where you can fill up the form but when choosing you have bitcoin the the amount still usd..
And this page also you can't see any here in this page https://bestbulkchanger.com/investment/
only the image you can see unprofessional design and not finish yet.. so i advice to beware about this site possible its scam site. .

Did some more research.
The meme "Zizi Trading" from the Payoneer acc email is connected with Romania.
Scamadviser.com also says the BestBulkChanger website is operated from there.
Whereas it says Singapore on the website.

Google search for bbcwholesell gives result on http://www.nairaland.com/ - that's the only ad apart from here on this forum.
How could I not have paid attention to the country of that forum - Nigeria?
I did google "her" email in search of scam alerts!

Can this info be useful?

Which one - Singapore, Romania, Nigeria? My best bet is the latter.
Your nairaland.com posting seems to be a Proof-of-Concept.

Sometimes a picture is worth 1000 words. I would post a screenshot of a first page of Google results with query

bestbulkchanger
if I were not a newbie. All needed information is on that page.
It's not even Alexa-ranked according to e.g. http://webfind.me/www/bestbulkchanger.com - traffic is too low!

Meanwhile "Natalie" "who worked for Payoneer" continues to make fantastic claims about 1800 happy customers, $35K held by Poloniex and rejects any suggestions to verify those claims.

Country is still unknown.

Went to their live chat on the site and asked if they have Singaporean landline in their "office of 5 staff, serious and legit".

They refused to talk to me.

Social icons on website, Facebook and Twitter, but they have no social media presence, links are inexistent.
How is that possible with 1800 clients?

Moderators - can you kindly check their IPs? do they use VPN/TOR here?

Asked to call them on Singaporean phone number.

This is what I got in response:

Quote
If you want to meet us please Monday to Friday 9am to 3pm Singapore time. Our office address is on our website. Visit our office with code ( Alex45689 Visit Pass ) The security will allow you in.

It's ridiculous, serious and legit business refusing to give me a number I can Skype out to.

There's no real company behind BestBulkChanger: they use 27-years old company's number on their site.
That 27-years old company doesn't even suspect about that.

The reason I fell for it (apart from haste and credulity) was greed.
They managed to persuade me that they have a buyer for Payoneer funds who pays a premium.
Some shitty country with insane capital controls, thought I. Okay, I believe you that you can exchange Payoneer 1:1 without fees once I reach some volume.

If I would use Payoneer as usual Mastercard on an exchanger, I would lose at least 1.5% in Payoneer fees + 3% Mastercard fee.
Also, I would risk being spotted by Payoneer and my acc. would be closed.
(Obviously that risk remains if you use operators like this one, if their acc. get busted, yours could be as well).
If only I knew about Bitwage back then.
Or if only I asked for escrow up front.
Or if only I did it in $100 chunks...

This is from correspondence with them (from one of the 69 messages written so far):

Its sad this happened to us. What happened is what we have explained to you the way we have not done to any other client and what i can tell you is that, you will never say we are scam until you complete it to $400 and then we didn't pay then you will say we are scam.
Basically, it tells that until I send them $400 more I cannot say they are scam!

We can buy bulk of Payer funds also.
Visit our site, click exchange and send your orders.
Order is completed in minutes absolutely.

Absolutely.
Waiting for 11 days now.
Will be posting updates of the situation here so that this thread doesn't leave the #1 position in Google search.
Least anyone else will fall for this!

Their story about Poloniex doesn't even make sense: exchangers do not operate by depositing small orders of fiat.
They buy BTC in bulk at a discount and then resell during the day.
So how they can open new trades if they have empty wallet?

Any update?
Nothing new, they are probably still looking for new "customers" here (and at least on 1 more forum).
Actually, they even sent me their spam on 08 Aug although it should've been obvious to them that I was already scammed :)
I will post Scam Accusation into appropriate thread when I have time.

What I would really like to find out, is this guy from Nigeria or not?
Perhaps admins of this forum can know this. Google doesn't show GMail user's IP in the headers anymore.
I tried to send a link to a photo in email, but he was clever enough not to click on it.

Because if it's 419 scam, then it's a *milestone* for Bitcoin!
I can post my funny story to Steem and earn some $$$ back ;-)

However,
