I blame greedy and naive people. Instead of learning basics, at least, all they see is fast money and profit without hard work.
In the end, they get scammed and rant about it.

Read and learn... READ AND LEARN!

Sure, but that doesn't change the fact his exchange was completed. Proofs are above. You can't get these details, I can, so that tells you I'm connected with ChangeNOW.

EDIT:
If you, or anyone else, wants to check me, feel free to go here https://t.me/changeNOW_chat our official telegram group, and search for @AlmightyshO (telegram name Better Call shO), you will see that I'm one of the admins there. So that could be some kind of verification.

EDIT #2:
Either way, the point of my post was that OP got his BTC. There was 2 hours delay. No scam.

EDIT #3:
If anyone has an issue with a stuck ChangeNOW exchange, feel free to DM me and I'll help you out.

EDIT #4:
If anyone decides to contact me, regarding stuck ChangeNOW exchange, all I need is exchange ID (it's 14 characters long, sometimes 24 if it goes via SwapZone, for example), and txhash (from deposit). That's it, nothing else. I will never ask for keys, mnemonics or give you links to fill out an online form, or ask for money in return You're safe with me.

Yes, customers can reject KYC, and, by current Terms of Use and everything is there, customers will get a refund.
IF AML check turns out bad, customers will be "forced" to go through KYC/AML procedure, so that is the "most" part.
If the customer fails to pass AML then crypto stays in limbo, no one will have access to it. There's also a section in Terms of Use that ChangeNOW can donate crypto to charity, but that's for countries that are prohibited by applicable law, not for illicit crypto.

1. I work as customer support for their telegram group, Reddit and Trust Pilot, so you can say that I'm representative, yes.
2. I believe OP has contacted support and shared his ID with them. That's how I got it (from our support team).
3. Not sure, really. Need to check that.

KYC/AML procedure.

Even tho I'm not posting this from an official (ChangeNOW) account, I will do it anyway.

Your exchange https://changenow.io/exchange/txs/9205bf1649ed11 was completed.

You got 0.00002865 BTC more than expected!

Here's txhash as proof:

A bit of clarification.

We, as in ChangeNOW, had some issues with BTC, and that took a while but it was fixed. We informed our customers via Telegram group https://t.me/changeNOW_chat as we do for every single change.

Your deposit of 0.2906 XMR was made 30.05.2022, 17:48:54 and your exchange was completed 30.05.2022, 19:34:51. That's less than 2 hours, and the delay was caused by BTC issues.

Let me know if you have more questions, I would be happy to help and answer.

So I guess, OP should make an edit and say that he got BTC under 2 hours after he made a deposit. That would be fair. Or not. Either way, this was not a scam in any possible way.

Not really.
Every exchange will be processed accordingly, BUT, if the transaction is flagged (as you mentioned, coins are tainter or linked to illicit activity) by an AML check (one of the checks is done by https://amlbot.com/, the customer will need to go through KYC and AML procedures. In most cases, customers can reject to do KYC and still get a refund.
