Sometimes people also share sensitive information out of ignorance. Perhaps there was a time where they did not know any better?, which reminds me of that one user who posted a selfie with his passport... What bewildered me was that he didn't mind posting such information because as he said, "all russians are doxxed". Even if that was true, it makes no sense to deliberately share such information to a new audience.
If one has posted sensitive information, I can understand if they wanna 'take a chance' of minimizing the damage by requesting deletion.

That's what Binance is also mentioning. However, the majority of Redditors on the threads you mentioned claim they have never provided proof of address. That's what I understood, at least. I had provided that since day one of my registration, which is the main reason I found it odd. One suspicion is that they simply want to make sure it's valid. Who knows?
I believe the mandatory proof of address would depend on where [in EEA] you reside, see: Depending on your country, you might need to upload proof of address. It can be your bank statement or utility bill. But yeahhh it's just another possibility. You'd probably need the help from binance to pinpoint the exact reason for your case but I understand the reluctance to speak with their support lol. |

There's also a 'possibility' that your withdrawal address was recognized belonging to a gambling website. Some CEXes tend to be hostile with such, hence I do suggest refraining from directly withdrawing/depositing to/from gambling websites in the future.
As others pointed, you'll probably receive a reply from their account here soon. They're pretty active last time i checked. In a worst case scenario, I think you can request to close your account and withdraw your funds.

Take a look at cryptopanic.com, it's a news aggregator website for all things crypto. I'm not their regular user so I can't say for sure but maybe somewhere in the settings, you'll be able to customize your feed or something. I've also noticed some questionable sources from there so yeah hopefully there's a way to filter such things. Take note that some features may be paywalled. I'm also not suggesting to solely rely to them as we can't expect them to reach everything but perhaps it could make things easier for you.

You can’t get rid all of these groups but telegram can definitely do better when it comes to handling scams. I've personally never dabbled with such groups but I've noticed when it comes to battling scams in general, they are falling behind (but this could just be an isolated case). I wouldn't be surprised if scams are put on low priority. Telegram needs to step up their game. Discord seems to be doing a better job at handling scam DMs (at least from my experience). My most recent encounter were all automatically marked as 'likely spam' and had their content hidden.
I am also able to join crypto groups without worrying about scam DMs as there's an option to block all messages coming from non-friends (whitelisting some servers is also possible). Telegram has a similar feature called "archive and mute" that automatically sends PMs from strangers to a chat folder but apparently, it will only show up if a user has received too many messages from unknown contacts.... I can't see what you're trying to do as anything but extremely tough battle so good luck. |

Huh? initiating a refund after more than 2 years!? sorry but that's not how it works. You can't just return a product after 2 years when you don't need it anymore otherwise why would anyone do business? It doesn't matter whether you have used it or not, the point is, you bought it and were able to access it if you wanted to.
Most importantly, the price of bitcoin has changed since 2020. Sorry but it looks like you just found out your money back then has nearly doubled. You need to accept that you have spent your bitcoins and can't get it back anymore. It happens op.

Damn. That sucks... I'm also leaning towards regulations being the main culprit. Their vision talk gave it away for me: While we had much more planned for LocalCryptos, unfortunately we believe that internal and external factors prevent our small team from fully achieving our vision.
....While any of these alone are not the sole reason, they are each motivating factors in our decision. We weighed up all the options, attempted various alternative solutions to keep the LocalCryptos vision alive, but in the end we made the decision to gradually end our services What could it be other than their main selling points e.g. no kyc, encrypted messages, etc.? which means if they were to introduce KYC/AML polices in their platform, it'd become the shell of its former self. |

However, I am unsure of the safety of random people walking in your store...
It’s the risk you have to bear just like any finance business, since we won't be able to know who's keeping tabs of who. But there should be ways to minimize it e.g. avoid shady neighborhood, control how much your employees know/can do, also secure your home, setup decoy wallets, etc.. Try to look up articles about it online plus you could also observe similar businesses in your area. |

I tried visiting CoinsMarkets.com, and it redirects to OP's bitcoinsmarter.net/coinsmarkets. I think there's a connection. What is even more weird is that bitcoinsmarter.net looks like an exchange too. It might be a scam on top of another scam  It could be that someone took over. I just don't think that coinsmarkets who took their time to stall users before disappearing completely would show up using their old name-- because the redirect links them with one another. But yeah, a quick look at bitcoinsmarter.net and it screamed shady af lol. |

Is that Coinmarkets.io?
I can't access that website and it says, "Connection denied by IP2Location Country Blocker" it might be what you meant the link that you gave above was the alternative one right?
No offense but why the link that you gave doesn't have a record of who.is?
It was coinsmarkets.com. I'm not entirely sure if they had another domain but most likely not given how their exchange screamed tight budget. What happened back then was coinsmarkets exit scammed but they first tried to stall users by giving loads of excuses which went for weeks or months (?) until they finally went MIA, see this mega thread about it: CoinsMarkets.com IS DOWN! |

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to get across? Did you want to reminisce? or are you implying that coinsmarkets themselves are behind the website? because we would need a stronger evidence for that as websites gets copied a lot without permission.

Titanex doesn't seem to know what they were talking about... but that's because their TOS and privacy policy is copied from changenow.io so let's cut them some slack 😌 Short snippets: 2.3.

Funds will never be blocked in any case.
But doesn't this count as well? 3.5. In extremely limited cases, when a User attempts to mislead our automated risk management system, Titanex reserves the right to freeze your exchange transaction for any period of time necessary to complete the AML procedure untraceability and anonymity guaranteed? how? because you don't ask for kyc? cause that's really misleading specially since the exchange [like every other CEX] collects and share user information to third parties which helps in connecting the dots. 4.

Did you mean "with deposit bonus"? i don't see how no deposit bonus would specifically help entice people, it's usually the other way around.
If so, check bybit's and coinbase's referral programs. Afaik, even the referees get few bucks if they deposit and trade certain amounts. Do read the terms and conditions for this so you know all the prerequisites that should be satisfied. But ofc I do not recommend solely signing up for deposit bonuses.
