Crypterium has held my BTC hostage for almost a month with no end in sight.

I haven't said completely this is a scam or not, because as far as I can see they have been operating for a long time. And now we found the charges in 2022. It's a shame if your funds are non-refundable. As many people have said who have advised you to stay in touch with them on all social media channels. Telegram, Twitter, and also send continuous support orders via email that has been provided. One more keep in touch with them through the online service contained in the application.

Crypterium has always exhibited red flags for me and i have never trusted these guys. I have tried to buy cryptocurrencies like bitcoin on their platform and they always asked for extra kyc documents which i thought was too much to ask from them, felt they were just harvesting user data but whatever their excuse i left them and never looked back. But seeing them in the media for the wrong reasons makes me feel vindicated! Hope they can solve this issue asap.

Binance was supposed to be big there but they pulled out everywhere 2 years ago or something right?

Binance is still fully operational for Africans. I believe Africa is a huge market for the exchange. In fact, it has lots of Nigerians on its platform doing P2P to the point that CZ Binance had to include Naira, the Nigeria local currency as an asset. I know @Fivestar4everMVP can attest to that.

Yeah, am here to attest to that, our local currency, "naira" is listed on binance exchange and even the Nigerians binance telegram group has over 75 thousands members, this is to show how big the Nigerian crypto community is.
I did not mention binance p2p in my initial post above because I've never used it, I use binance exchange alot for day to day crypto trading but I've never used the local p2p part of the exchange because I still like and want to stick with remitano.

I have to apologize then, it would seem that I was misled by the news. I actually can't find the old news as I definitely remember in 2020 they had a big thing in Africa and they decided to move out a lot of offices. I don't know which country exactly, all I know is that is was somewhere there.

And then in October there was this news: https://www.businessinsider.in/investment/news/crypto-exchange-binance-ends-derivatives-trading-and-other-offerings-in-south-africa/articleshow/86878699.cms

So it does seem like something happened in South Africa, but maybe not Nigeria?
