1  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Do I get scammed? on: July 12, 2020, 05:52:57 PM
so after some days I can say that I got scammed.

Is here someone buying sometimes at paxful.

What should I be care next time? Don't cancel the order until he send me the Coins, but what when he say that I send to less?

I should call a moderator then right?


regards
Just like you said, don't cancel the order until someone send you the coins, and when someone tolds you that you sent too little money then it's a first red flag.
You can call a moderator if sellers behaviour raises your doubts, but like I mentioned before, Paypal is not safe way to buy Bitcoin.

By the way, how many transactions you had so far on Paxful? Scammers usually focus on newbies account's with none or few transactions, because they assume that person doesn't have enough knowledge to protect from fraud.

Hey,

I wanted to buy btc for 150€ paypal and send them the money as friend.

So I paid via Paypal 150€ + 3,99 € PayPal fees.

He said I send to less and he wanted that I close the order and open a new one with 142€.

But he is only accepting 150 € - 350€.

After that he is not replying anymore. Do you think I got scammed? I reported to a moderator but I'm still waiting.

His ID and mobile Phone is verified.

Everything is happened on paxful.


As far I know you can just buy verified Paxful account so the fact that the account is verified actually does not mean that the person has good intentions towards you and others.
Paypal transactions are very risky and even Paxful pays attention to be careful with such transactions.
I suggest to not use Paypal, which is the scammers favorite payment processor.

I can't say if you have been scammed, but as someone mentioned earlier - it doesn't look too good.

Good to hear that fortunately, you've got your money back, because on the telegram group I have seen cases of people whose support tickets has been open for even a year (they mainly concerned withdrawal reqeusts).

Can you tell us more about the background of these people who invest 3 BTC on such websites. No personal details needed. Just a sort of demographic picture. Are these rich people or just idiots who stumbled across crypto? Do they have the knowledge to deal in crytpo or just use online exchanges etc. I mean, there is so much wasted potential in there.
I am also curious what drives such people, it sounds unbelievable. It's a bit like giving your money to some random person on the street.

High withdrawal fees are also one of the known exchanges scams.
Always do your research, it is better to spend some more time looking for information than regreting it later that you didn't.

I just saw these lives yesterday on my main youtube page. I didn't even watch those movies, because everything stanked already from afar... I feel sorry for those who were fooled.

I also have a problem here. After few transactions. I was able to withdraw everything except btc, because withdrawals of btc are blocked... don't deposit your coins there. Looks like I lost $500.


EDIT:
Fortunately, I was able to get my money out of there in another coin, I lost about $50 on that, but in total sum (regarding previous transactions) I went to 0. Anyway, avoid this place from afar. They are ordinary fraudsters and their "support" practically does not exist. After pasting the link to this thread on their telegram group, I was immediately banned. :-)

SO glad to see a recent reply here. I think I just got screwed out of 300 USDT - initiated a transfer late night/early morning, still no txid 17 hours later. I had a similar experience (with the same crypto!) on another exchange the other day. It eventually cleared though, just a hiccup. I just thought I would buy some cheap BTC on Kryptono to do some arbitrage before sticking the money in my investment fund - such an idiot.

A thought, did you do KYC? It isn't something they push on you, so I imagine not many people do it and thereby get "scammed". I dunno, some kind of naοve hope. This exchange is most likely horseshit, like 90/10.

I think everyone should report this site to Google, Microsoft, Apple, anti-virus/malware app makers and others, see if we can't get a big ol' warning up on their site. I guess they'll just make a new site then, but it'll save someone, right?

What other coin did you use? Good to know if I ever get this lot back, which is feeling less and less likely.
This exchange was a real pain in the ass.
Someday their site stopped working properly and all users lost the ability to log in. Despite the correct data, a message was poping up saying it was incorrect.
The next day, theoretically, everything returned to normal, but due to the fact that during this failure I attempted to log in several times after unblocking the exchange and logging in i found that my account is... blocked due to several failed login attempts.
Yeah, the only option to recover was to send evidence that it is my account (email screenshots from kryptono, etc.) and of course the KYC that I had to do. I wrote to support on telegram group and I rode them quite hard, so they wrapped up in about 30 minutes and unlocked my account. I had enough of this and placed sell order BTC/TRX 10-13% cheaper. After some time, the order was 100% completed! It was quite strange, but right away I transferred TRX to Binance and luckily it worked.
