Title: Paxful - Deposits are not being credited
Post by: Get-Paid.com on April 02, 2023, 12:36:59 PM
On the one hand I didn't want to post it right away in the Scam Accusations forum, but on the other hand it's important to warn others - DO NOT DEPOSIT any funds into Paxul until they sort it out.

Currently their Reddit channel is starting to get flooded with complaints, for example:

https://www.reddit.com/r/paxful/comments/12953qa/is_paxful_usdt_wallet_down_i_have_usdt_and_it/
https://www.reddit.com/r/paxful/comments/129jo1p/usdt_not_received/
https://www.reddit.com/r/paxful/comments/12994ki/anyone_else_not_getting_their_crypto_deposits/
https://www.reddit.com/r/paxful/comments/129ic0o/i_need_help/
https://www.reddit.com/r/paxful/comments/129hat6/btc_deposit_not_showing_in_paxful_wallet/

Truly hope this is not going to be another FTX incident and that it's only a technical issue but some users have been waiting close to 24h and maybe because it's weekend now these guys don't "know" about it - anyway - just bringing this for your information.

Again, hoping this is not another FTX incident, and very much looking forward to lock this thread if it's just a small issue - waiting for Paxful to advise about this.

In one of the links you posted, a moderator said the team is already investigating the issue.

What's strange about this, is that the status page is not showing anything[1] except for some degraded performance for BTC only, and they also had maintenance but that's for withdrawals/send-outs and not deposits.

Their technical issues seem to have been going on for days now, since I found another complaint on another board[1]. But on their twitter account ridiculously[2], support instead reviews and handles user case by case via DM which I'm not even sure twitter support has the capacity to fix that.

Thanks for the heads up. Did a quick digging and it appears they've been having wallet problems recently

March 15, their bitcoin wallet had a major outage and people cannot withdraw, see: https://twitter.com/Pledditor/status/1636153576895520768

March 21 and present, problems with bitcoin send outs were identified again though tagged as "low impact"

Apr 1, 16:00 UTC BTC Sendouts are under maintenance

Mar 21, 15:47 UTC (Identified) - BTC send-outs are under maintenance. All transactions are being processed but there may be delays in sending funds.

and now USDT and BTC deposits aren't reflecting.

Looks like they are resolving the issues now, several members reported the issues were resolved.
I am locking this thread as it seems to be fully resolved now.
