Consider that the problem doesn't only lie to coinbase but also to users who fall to their schemes. The sneaky ppl will keep increasing which is something out of our control unlike ourselves, hence why we should focus on gaining knowledge to not fall for them.

Pretty sure you would get you payout assuming that you've done what needs to be done but the question is when. From what I heard support has a speed of a turtle.

If the coins were sent to coinbase, according to this reddit thread, they said they're working for a way and that was almost 2 years ago. I wonder what happened to it hmm... Honestly, If they still can't do it at this time, good luck 'cause it's pretty much not a priority. I hope your friend didn't send it to coinbase.


Reach out to coinbase here https://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/emails/new

So basically, If coinbase had paid you, you wouldn't be ranting here and would be glad you sold your KYC info to them. Remember that there's no business that would give free money without anything in return.

well, just reach out to their support team although you may need to bear with how slow they are.

You have waited too long, if you have your seed with you, you can access your funds right away by entering them at https://login.blockchain.com/#/recover

or better yet, switch to a new wallet as blockchain.com is not a good wallet to store your funds even if it's just your 3rd wallet for convenience. I recommend electrum for better security and more features. also a big plus is you won't have to deal with the common problems of blockchain.com

You can also import your blockchain.com wallet to electrum by following this guide https://bitcoinelectrum.com/restoring-your-standard-wallet-from-seed/
Then make a new wallet in electrum and send your funds there for better security. (Don't forget to verify your electrum file!)

Here is a site containing a good overview of wallets https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

Two newbies (kryptoklerk, vlasrodz) with no past posts other than what's on this thread suddenly shows up defending coinsbit. I see... The alt accounts are already here.

Their blocked due to suspicious activity statement seems to be just an excuse to hold your funds as they're dragging it. If they really wanted to return the funds, there's no need to create a new acc, withdrawing it to any of your chosen address should be fine since as they said "You personally are not on investigation" which was also strange to me 'cause you're using that account, how can you not be a part of it LOL. There's probably no suspected fraud or anything.

IEOs are just fancy ICO anyway, as you'll be getting the same situation once it's finished. The exchange that handles them doesn't guarantee that the team won't abandon the project since it is out of their hands. Success is "? ? ? ?" and still plenty of room to scam. I wouldn't hold much trust in it.


Ignorance is a bliss I guess. A lot of ppl have also trusted their info to blockchain.com for $25


yup and the reason ppl avoid new exchanges is to avoid becoming the sacrificial lamb. Luck does play a part but research (red flags etc..) is still pretty reliable like in this one for the lack of info and rep, it's enough for me to stay away--at least for now.

If it's blockchain games, there are a lot in ETH, EOS etc... Go check them out at https://dappradar.com/rankings/category/games

But honestly,  the games I know are mediocre, I think ppl play it 'cause you can trade for real money and such so If you're not gonna spend monies, I wouldn't recommend it. If you liked a certain game, pretty sure you can find another one with a similar concept.

and another thing. there's an upcoming game which graphics are good (idk about the rest) you may wanna check it out: TEASER | Extended teaser

That's without a doubt a scam but I'm pretty convinced it's from a person outside netlify, that someone hijacked their subdomain. It doesn't make sense that a reputable service would resort and make such lousy scam.

Reasons are:

1. Something similar has also happened before https://twitter.com/xrpforensics/status/1140889401800761347
2. If this ec game is really their product/service, I should be able to find it in their main domain which I did not.

@legendster, it's not yet available to the public.


@Zicadis, that's the first thing I noticed too, the site seems to be a work in progress considering that some information are outdated like the fees and limits and it still says Mastercard instead of union pay. I'm actually confused which info is still valid in their website, it's really a bad practice to put it in low prio.

The updated information are all in their blog it seems

Where in middle east? (if it's fine with you)

I looked up exchanges that are based in the middle east and found https://www.rain.bh/ which is apparently already licensed

There's also https://bitoasis.net but the reviews I got are red flags
Beware of Bitoasis.net
Can I report BitOasis to DED?
https://www.bestbitcoinexchange.net/en/bitoasis-net/

I wasn't able to find anything about rain.bh but it could be bc I wasn't using the local language. I obviously haven't tried any of them so do your own research and look for more reviews, ask them about KYC, etc.. what I can do is limited anyway cause of the language barrier.

and they do support credit cards!

I hope you only mean in terms of mixing when you said: "You do not need any of these" as some of them are vital and doesn't just concern bitcoin alone, its more of a general thing.

About mixing using exchanges, bear in mind that they keep logs which can be used to trace your transactions. Pretty sure they would hand those data to authorities if they're asked to.

They're a fraud, stay away!

The VAT number is valid but whether it's really theirs is a different story cause there's no proof about that. The company name is just "BATURA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY" not batura miners... I'm not saying it has to be exact but it creates a suspicion since I can just buy the baturaegirls.eu domain, paste the VAT number on the site and pretend we're a registered egirl supplier in Poland. The same goes for batura fishing, batura sardines, baturahouses, etc... pretty easy to pretend.

Searching something like "where to sell used designer clothes" should bring you lots of platforms whose target audience fits the items you're selling. How did you even find this site op?

Is there any demerit in posting pictures here? designer items have millions of counterfeits and by posting here publicly in one go saves you time and provides transparency as anyone can authenticate the said products--if they know how to or know someone (from what I've googled there are forums who help in this as well as auth services which should be approached with caution, dyor about them)

you may wanna move this to Goods after you've edited your post or better yet, lock this and create a new one. Be sure to add the use of escrow for users to trust you.

Someone has asked the same thing in twitter (https://twitter.com/BithumbOfficial/status/1125581976197423104)



But since BGH One (.pro) was able to use bithumb's name, I guess there is some extent of connection between them although not as much as being responsible on the other party's actions like if some hacking occurred to either one of them.

Thoughts?

@op first, can you edit your post and follow this format Scam Report Format (Use it to make scam reports properly). The other users should also add proofs as it strengthens the credibility

and yes the fake reviews is true, quoting this (Note that the linked ANN thread has been deleted but here's an archive of that https://archive.is/Ckabc)


They have a new ANN thread which is now self-moderated. As usual, there are fake reviews with the same alts in their old ANN. I also looked into MAIK68's issue and found that sesterce has been lying to them.

This sums up the whole issue

And so I asked a staff from obelisk to confirm the authenticity of sesterce/bitech statement (pic I sent https://i.snipboard.io/lXsYkG.jpg)



You can find steve at obelisk's discord server. Invite link is at the bottom of their site

well uhh, users are technically paying trading fees through the monthly subscription...

My biggest concern is how is the monthly subscription going to establish an advantage for both the exchange as it has to profit enough and to your users in terms of savings over using other exchanges?

Anyone could only give an estimate on how much $$$ they trade every month which means it'll be a hit or miss when it comes to reaching near their cap so I feel like users would spend more on fees in your exchange. And if you make the subscription cheap, wouldn't it affect your profit and the quality of the service you're providing?

Lastly, it's uncomfy to disclose that info where every post can be seen by anyone. Better get a survey form that offers some extent of anonymity. It also helps the data to be organized, especially if you're getting respondents from different sites.

It's fake ofc. Checked their website and its full of unrealistic offers designed to lure users.

There's no such thing as no-risk trading. Even if let's say they have their ways to make it happen. Why would there be a need to waste time and recruit users when they can just sell/pawn their assets or take out loans since the money is guaranteed anyway, they can just pay it back after. The reason is that they can't

Don't buy the "we're a registered company" card they're playing. They're just impersonating.  If you look at the "Nature of business (SIC)" part, It is said that it's for real estate.

1/ Old news with new information

2/ Every sensitive information is important and the more of them leak, the more a person is at risk of being a victim of fraud as they are more susceptible to more attacks compared to a person who only has email addresses and such leaked.

Like in this case, scammers can even use the leaked info to get more information like approaching you in social media-- huge number of ppl still have their full names on it.

No need for reviews. Pretty sure its a fraud just by looking at their business model.

It works in a way where the users have an overwhelming advantage over the system which makes the promised returns unsustainable as they would go out of business bc they're basically giving out money.

So how do they earn and keep their site running? by stealing users funds

Op has the old wallet of blockchain.com (legacy wallet) so the seed alone is useless as back then it doesn't contain private keys. From what I know you could only get your password through it.

@op, do you still have your backups? the .json file(s)? paper backup?
