It happens. Most centralized exchanges are using identity verification software which is nowhere near accurate. (This has been discussed in: Frustration with third party KYC services in crypto platforms) I don't think they're straight up scamming you. I suggest trying this. They had the same problem as you I reached out to the support team, and after I made it clear that I won't be sending my personal documents, they asked me for screenshots for the assets overview, trading, and deposit/withdrawal history pages. My account got unlocked shortly after I sent the screenshots and I managed to withdraw the funds without any issues.

Did you search + enter? perhaps something was wrong with the symbol entered? Tried to replicate your problem and Wrong slash interchanged + no slash

Ok thanks. Is there any company out there that is reputable and can trace the money to find the individual responsible? is there anyway to get my bitcoin back?
There's https://www.reclaimcrypto.com by kroll and coinfirm ( coindesk article). I'm not sure about kroll but coinfirm is known for its blockchain analysis service. But try not to get your hopes up, there's no guarantee they would be able to recover your stolen funds which is why if you were to pay upfront, make sure you're ready to lost it.

I was trying to find when did this start and earliest seems to be on January 2021 so that's almost a year What Do Users Complain About? In January 2021 the reports of disappearing user funds started to sprawl here and there. Users deposit money, the transaction is reflected on etherscan but the EXX balance remains empty. It makes people think that the exchange is stealing their money. Another pattern is when users want to withdraw their coins, money disappears from the balance but never hits their wallets. The support team doesn't answer while social media pages of the exchange seem abandoned since 2019. The number of complaints is growing and doesn't seem to end. There is no publicly available response from Exx. We conclude that at this point the exchange doesn't deserve trust. Below you can see our original review of the exchange. It was written well before it became obvious that Exx is not trustworthy. Last word from them looks to be: (if it's really them) But it's just a promotion so pretty much useless. All hope Exx won the "2019 Blockchain Top 100 Companies" award from Golden Finance It wouldn't be weird to think of an exit scam (hope I'm wrong tho!) at this point. I can see the new ad banners and promotion post as a mere ploy to buy them time, making their users think there's still hope... There seems to be a good discussion about them in chainnode ( https://www.chainnode.com/forum/223). I'd post in the chinese local board/ask other chinese communities to help you read them. EDIT: Reported in coinmarketcap so we can at least hopefully get that word of caution in their page.

3. Did they make it seem it's an easy money? for some reason all the binary options ad I encountered were always like that. I imagine an affiliate's ad being similar. One of the reasons why I would never try them. Another is, it's pretty close to gambling. So might as well go for an actual gambling site and pick a fun game

The conflict usually starts on how exchanges transition to mandatory KYC. If we look at bittrex and poloniex, both of them are hated not because they did mandatory KYC but because they did not notify and gave an ample time before locking unverified accounts. Poloniex even took back their you will be able to withdraw before the deadline promise So far binance is doing a better job (take note of so far). I wish they cleared up what would happen to their previous announcement about .06 BTC limit and did not roll out the withdraw only for existing accounts in phases/by batch cause it only brought the big confusion. Still tolerable so it's okay ig.

With user experience being different for each person, there should be supporting details on why you think this and that exchange fits your criteria.
But imo if we were to talk about "more reliable and safer for new crypto adopters" I don't think less reputable exchanges like hoo and mxc should be in the list cause they are the closest to those "new exchanges" you mentioned.

The CEO SAID they don't give a shit on Bitcointalk flags or Bitcointalk. We also don't give a shit about your website

I have not seen a lot of lost/incorrect memo cases, but they were all manually credited and took time. The video may have been too much but I can picture an exchange with a strict policy doing it.
What bothers me is the high minimum deposit/trade amount (1520 XLM = around 500$ in todays price) as I've only seen scam sites do this. Add in the fact that it's new with barely no online presence and I would never touch it.
Because anything can happen at this point. I would also get in touch with cryptwerk and try to get them to help. Tviton has bought an AD space in cryptwerk. Supposing they're getting decent amount of traffic from them, it's highly likely that the listing is important.
I'm curious how did you search for an exchange in cryptwerk. If you chose a category, you probably have clicked the AD. Today I learned the reason why the same set of items shows up no matter what I searched for is not because they have a bad search engine but because they were ADS! to be fair, the only thing that marks them is the almost non-existent highlight, so it's pretty easy to miss. Very terrible ad ethics if you ask me. ADs in search results should be declared explicitly.

Curious how old exactly is your account. Did your recovery phrase originally had more than 12 words? AKA legacy wallet/pre-HD wallet. I've seen cases with similar interface problems like yours and I remember they created their account before blockchain.com transitioned to their latest HD wallets. most recent: I have always held my Bitcoin in a blockchain.info wallet. When I started buying XBT in 2013
....when I log into my wallet using a Chrome browser on a PC, only part of your screen appears on my screen. So I am not actually able to sign out or scroll to the right or down (for example, to change the language).

Didn't they have their address scattered on the web if you're going to search for their physical address?
AFAIK, they've got physical offices in certain countries.
You could check out here: https://craft.co/binance/locationsBinance is headquartered in George Town, Cayman Islands and has 40 office locations across 38 countries.Dont know if this is true about having 40 office locations? What the hell! Probably a virtual address for the sake of incorporation. CZ has refused to tell where their HQ is, it's likely they may not even have one "Wherever I sit, is going to be the Binance office," says Changpeng "CZ" Zhao. But I do think they operate and have offices across countries which is also unknown to public. Office addresses are not public for the sake of security.

As I see from their FAQ, DewVPN works in a hybrid mode, I.E. combines traditional and P2P VPN technology.
Hmm. This "p2p vpn" looks really insecure. Peer-To-Peer
The Services are based on a community powered (Peer-to-Peer) network, where users to pool together and route their internet connections through each other. That means the software may make use of the Internet, among other means by re-routing some of your requests through other peer users. Your free use of the software will in turn enable other devices using the Services to be re-routed through your device. From that users can help each other to make the internet free for all, by sharing their idle resources. By using the Services you consent to the use of your device in the described manner and agree that other users or services may use your network connection and resources. You represent that your entry into this Agreement and your use of the Services does not breach any contract, duty, law, regulation or right, and that if sharing your resources is not desirable or allowed in your case, you will not use the Services, or purchase the Premium Subscription to use the network but not to contribute resources to it. From what I understand, someone could do nefarious things using my IP and that could be linked back to me. Furthermore, they did say "other users or services may use your network connection and resources" which means it's possible they would be using the CPU as well

Their sock puppets are all over reddit u/cocolalaoneu/joenolan25u/bamberrybabeu/capKelleyDeleted user but here's a comment from u/ndjddocndns dewvpn seems to be the only thing you review or even post about for last 2 years! That plus the way its written makes me not trust it whatsoever! Blatant lying seems to be their forte. Wouldn't surprise me if they are lying about other things as well like their no logs policy.

OP do you create fake story?
If the robbery only know the blockchain password, how can he able to log in? He need to confirm the confirmation link send to your friend email.
It's possible OP confused PIN with password. If OP's friend was using the blockchain.com app, only the 4 digit pin code is needed in order to access the wallet supposing they do not log out every use. But getting those authorization emails/OTPs wouldn't be hard cause most people have their email accounts and authenticator app in their smartphones as well. You could password protect these apps, but robbers can just ask this while pointing a gun at you. I would give the benefit of the doubt for now.

Get a Second phone. Most people only owns one smartphone at a time hence there's a high chance the robber wouldn't be able to think you have another one. Worst case scenario is if they thoroughly check your bag (get a bag with secret pockets!) although IMO most robbers are in hurry and so I don't think this is something highly likely.
If you can, leave your main phone at your house. That would provide better security.
