It wasnt a good idea to start talking about paxful. This created the impression to some members that you were here just to promote paxful and black list localbitcoins. Localbitcoins cant just block your money without explaining why they think your documents are fake. Insist on a reason and offer to send another kind of document with a picture like your drivers license or your passport.

Even if they return the money their abusive practices keep chattering their reputation. Asking for a notarized translation of the ID? Dont they know google translation? And forcing a video call after asking for a hand-held ID card photo? And as always without disclosing what facts determined their block of the account. 

Op add their name to the thread title. Let google be your friend and warn everyone against them. Also this can force them to return your money because of the bad publicity.

Coinfan glad that you are supporting the OP here too. This is a very clear scam case. Asking for documents is always an excellent pretext. But here the scammers couldnt invent more documents to ask for.

The Rock scammer eliale completely shattered his own reputation and is demolishing his business Rock trading and playing with his freedom for 35500 euros... I guess he thinks none of these things are more valuable than 35500 euros. Keep grabbing that money scammer until a swat team breaks your house door.

Add their forum nicks to the title of this thread in order to make easier for anyone to find it. The members posting on their thread are clear alts.

I hope your will get your money back. Try to make a summary of the main facts on the OP including the links to your scans and evidence. Many users wont read everything. And with time this thread will grow bigger.

The scammer simonetti is clearly identified and so its a sitting duck. He must be completely crazy to keep the OP money blocked.

eliale = scammer. The rock trading = scam

Vod just gave negative feedback to the scammer eliale (Andrea Medri he signed a post on this thread) the Rock Trading CFO! This scammer is completely burned on bitcointalk. And also to his accomplice Paci the Rock Trading CTO. Your paid poster gave me negative feedback. Enjoy your tag scammer Medri! Long live to Vod the scammer buster.

Your partner in crime HolyTransaction didnt deny the OP deposits or the amount he claims. As quoted in the OP he said the funds are where they should be. Are you trying to lie even more than him? Well also thanks to you your partner just got new feedback.

If they dont explain themselves we have to presume what you are stating is right. At face value this is a clear scam. They cant ask you to complain to another place without explaining what was your malicious behavior and why they think they are entitled to keep your money. Any exchange that bans customers accounts with money without a very good explanation is a scam.

The scammer Andrea Medri aka eliale crawled from under his Rock to write his usual fake promises. The fact is that he is blocking the OP money for more than 14 months! His scam technique of blocking money then demand documents and saying to the victim to go to the police has even inspired other scammers that copied his words to the letter like his pal Francesco Simonetti

The problem is when the victim actually goes to the police and shows he hasnt nothing to hide. Both these scammers think that saying go to the police will save them from the police!

You mean more than 40 days (not 40 months)? If they are already aware of the problem 40 days without a solution looks very strange. Post more details.

This is an interesting possibility. The scammer Andrea Medri and the Scammer Francesco Simonetti might be partners in crime or friends. And Medri might be teaching Simonetti how to scam and try to get away with it. Or maybe Simonetti is just a lazy scammer and copy and pasted Medri answer. This answer is on the first page of the Rock scam thread. He didnt have to read much.
They know each other. They were at one talk about bitcoin on 2014:
https://web.uniroma1.it/fac_economia/sites/default/files/Locandina_0_0.pdf
Plagiarism is against BTCtalk rules. OP report this scammer to the administrator.


The OP just sent you every possible personal document. What lie are you going to invent now to keep his money? If you dont return the money I guess I will have some more feedback to give. I love (to burn) scammers.

Try to contact other people on the same situation. Get as much people you can opening threads here against binance. Make as much noise as you can. It seems there wasnt any security issue at all. They just started nailing customers from "restricted" countries like bittrex did.

I never saw something like this. They know that they are going to be nailed but still they dont give up on their scam. They decided to sink the exchange and made a pact to go down with it.

Taking in account the amount its very strange that he didnt reply to you. But you know the issue. The question is: have you already solved his problem? Why did you block his account? Have you unblock it? You dont need any answer to unblock his account. This doesnt look good for your exchange.

Were you really expecting that the scammer medri would accept a compulsory third party decision about your ("his") money? His acceptance is just a smoke screen to enable him to keep kicking the can down the road hoping this somehow goes away and he can keep the money. He knows from the start that the money is yours and he couldnt care less for your identity.

By the way I just found this:

As you know medri/eliale and davide/paci are the founders of the Rock Trading. Are these scammers also behind these ponzi schmes?

"HOURLY CASH LIMITED is a certified Limited Company based in the United Kingdom and founded by Andrea Medri (CFO) and David Barbie (CTO), two entrepreneurs well known in the English Bitcoin community."

http://hourlycash.biz/ the ponzi site is down.

Since this is a story with more than 1 year the https://www.kingways.biz/ is also no longer online.

More ponzi sites who claim being created by "Andrea Medri (CFO) and Davide Barbieri (CTO)"

http://www.toptradingreviews.com/o2earn-scam-review/

https://cryptofret.com/              this one is still online

https://dailypayment.bid/           this one is still online

https://cryptotradingbusiness.club      this one is still online

These are all down but according to google also had as founders  "Andrea Medri (CFO) and Davide Barbieri (CTO)"

http://www.btcluxminer.com
https://crypto-forex.uk/
https://bonsura.trade
https://uk-paying.com/

This would explain a lot. But are they capable of also doing ponzi schemes? Or did someone steal their identities?

These scammers have more explanations to give to the community. This is serious.

There are so many scam reports on Bittrex (just search it on the forum) that their users have to like to play russian roulette with money to trust them. Review or not they closing your tickets without answering is a scammers practice. If you have there as much money as it looks be prepared for problems.
