Bitxee: Fake P2P exchange just steals your coin

[Schwapp]

What happened: Thought it was a new, honest P2P exchange. Funded my wallet with .1 to start opening offers.

First sign I noticed was five confirmations while wallet was stuck on zero.

Messaged them asking what the problem was.

Woke up hours later, it was rejecting my password.

Had to reset. Logged and I had $.39 in the wallet. The minute after it was credited, there's an outgoing transaction.

A minute after that, another.

Two minutes later, the last transaction that finished off my funds.

I had 2fa enabled, so it wasn't just someone stealing my credentials.

I didn't whois it until after I realized I was screwed. 😂

I'm banned at Paxful because a client I didn't realize was Iranian sent BTC to my Paxful wallet 3 times in 2019.

LocalBitcoins doesn't offer the types of trades that were my bread and butter on Paxful and two scammers I got locked in disputes with has led my account to be on forced vacation until they're settled (over 3 weeks old, with one only resolving a couple days ago and one still ongoing).

Either there aren't many that offer the wide variety of options that Paxful does or my Google Fu is weak. 😂

It seems with p2p platforms your lucks are running out :-P
Why don't you go with those centralized exchanges who have good reputations?
You can also try in the forum but since you do not have an account with previous trading history, in most cases you will have to go first with the reputed members and also use escrow if you are dealing with less reputed users.

Until Paxful decided 7 month old transactions with no repeated issues in 2020 were too much of a compliance risk, P2P was very good to me.

Flawless feedback and I was one of the most dedicated to rooting out the scammers on the site.

I'll just have to keep looking for a good match and not be so quick to fund a wallet heavy.
