Title: Is btcex.com scam ?
Post by: xeolin on June 22, 2011, 08:14:18 PM
Hello there !

I made a deposit on this website (http://blockexplorer.com/address/1DwzuPgn5EgdbZjjL25qFozC4XDaYqEqFd),
it's been 2 days and it is still not showing up.

Have anyone had issues with this website ?

Thanks, and hopefully it was not a large amount of points.

(maybe I should have transferred .888, lucky number xD)

Probably not.

  • There's no business name and address on the site. There's no way to withdraw funds, only deposit.
  • They're in Russia.
  • Their entire volume today is 47 bitcoins.

Any questions?

I call that scam.

I'm going on the fact that there are links for "Sign up" and "Deposit Money", no contact information, and a free SSL cert which doesn't identify the subject. Perhaps once you log in there is a "withdraw" option.
