btc-e.com is a scam

[Spoetnik]

Better work with cryptsy.com that they have a known location...
I also didn't like the hidden fees of btc-e and the unknown location...
 

exactly.. Belize !

Hello everyone,

www.btc-e.com are thieves

I would like to warn you all that btc-e bans without legit reason and then because of the ban (which is set to forever) you cannot post in chat boc on the webpage, but you also CANNOT WITHDRAW YOUR MONEY OR COINS! So basically, if someone denies withdrawals of funds for eternity, they actually stole that!
I can still log-in to my account, I can even set orders, but I cannot withdraw my funds.
When I contacted support, they just keep repeating they banned my account because they think I posted links in chatbox  on  the webpage that led to some virus. Although I said I dont know anything about any virus, they didn't tell me exactly what was that link that I suposingly sent in the chat(even if I did send something, like a link, it was as a response to someone elses post). Anyway, if we assume that I really did post something in that chat box, I didnt do it with intention but am willing to accept I cannot post in it anymore, but I cannot accept that I cannot make a withdrawal, 'cause then that is stealing done by btc-e.
Considering they haven't answered to my ticket in over 7 days, does anyone know what could I do and to whom and how to report this crime?
I emphasize thay I have US Dollars, bitcoins and litecoins on my account and that they deny withdrawal of anything. I cannot withdraw MY funds... ever! Stealing btc-e

yes, has same thing
I have been with them years too

they have many scam mods, not just unscrupulous but downright criminals. main one was koolio but he is long gone now
paul is a nice guy, if anyone knows if he's a member here let me know

as had same thing, luckily only have some namecoins on there, but is principle
couple months back was trlling having a laugh in the 'trollbox' famous for trolling it is
mod was on period it seems and got not 1 hour ban, but 6 months!

same as you opened support tickets etc.

well it will hurt them more if we open threads every day and cover google with their thefts
I mean I can actually wait 6 months it's no big deal, like watching paint dry over there, as long as I get my coins or will report them to authorities in whatever country theyre in

dont waste money on legal threat, just flag them up to powers that be

too many loose cannon exchanges out there. cryptsy are even worse

we really need some better people running exchanges it's too wild west

let us know if you get sorted

nb: yes, I got accused of the malware thing too which is utter crap. there is trollboxarchive.com btw to prove your case to them
I told them this but you never hear back from second support ticket

bottomline these aren't people to trust. keep the bare mimimum on exchnage and keep out trollbox is moral of story
but yes, get coins back

I can beat that.. i was banned on cryptsy for a YEAR for a comment i made at Bitcointalk.

EDIT:
So be careful what you say here you may find yourself banned on various exchanges.. NO Joke !

BTC-E has had some pretty disturbing scam accusations against it from what I have seen on the forums in my time here.

Tons of stories of withdraws never showing up and claiming sent. Accounts locked with thousands of dollars worth of funds in them and no reason.
I Once used the site back when I was inexperienced but even with small amounts of BTC found that they suffered from withdraw or solvency issues.

Personally I'd avoid them, But make your own decisions accordingly. Selective scamming seems to be the game they play.

[Exoskeleton]

I've never had a problem on that site and I find it just a little weird that most scam accusations seem to come from noobs with only a few posts. Not to say that they might not have legit beef with BTC-e, but I've never seen a high ranking member get funds stolen, only locked up for what the admit were negative comments about the site, ect.

Not that this justifies the problems people have had on the site, but due to the volume and my lack of a single problem with years of successful trading on my part I'm not going to stop using BTC-e personally.

This is not a new at all.

What do you mean?

not the first time it happens?

It's very important to dig out this old thread for just this message. O_o

I confirm BTC-e is a scam. You can find out all over the Internet.

They "verified" my account, I sent a bitcoin.

They suddenly requested more documents...and then they put my account on "moneyhold".

When I asked to cancel my account and refund my money, they said no, only your bank can ask for it. Banks don't do that !

Mayzus financial Services is the owner of BTC-e. Mayzus is the mayor of Kaliningrad and he is known for belonging to the Russian mafia. Mayzus financial services has been sentenced for money laundering in Cyprus. They have a London address. I filed a legal complaint with the Financial Conduct Authority because they are a regulated entity and a complaint with the London Metro police because they engage in serious criminal activity.
You can file with London police, even if you are not UK or EU resident here : http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report-a-fraud-including-online-crime-questions

[mr.relax]

Same to me.
I use btc-e now since years.
Sure there had been discussions with support too as on any other btc-site, you trade on.
But everything had been solved always and I am very happy with them.
btc-e is definately no ponzi, no cheat, no "steal your coins", as there are hundreds of them in the net.
Now ccoin withdraw is also within 2min.
Other exchanges should copy that...

Well, I've been with them since 2011 or so - and they've been superior - UNTILL recently ... I lost my dedicated IP (but I am still within the range of IPs in my country and same ISP) -Contacted them - first reply within a week - asked for some questions - answered them all - and they're GONE! I lost MOST of my portfolio due to opened positions and they're delay - to me they look like a scam at the worst and irresponsible at the best!

[DumpCoins86]

I have been using BTC-E for 4 years and have never had a single complaint.  I lost access to my 2 factor authenticator code and needed their help to get account access back.

I sent all the screen shots, pictures, and information they requested and then they go silent on me.  My ticket (ZAK-406-99781) is still open but it has been two weeks with no response.

I wish someone from support would see this thread and help us all out.

How long did they take to respond to you? I've been waiting weeks now.
They suspended my account because I haven't logged in for a long time.

They won't respond to my tickets.

A paid shill, eh? Seems like you are complicit in covering up their fraudulent activities.

[mr.relax]

Btc-e is one of the very biggest btc-exchanges that exist.
Since many years.
There had been complains about slow support.

There are and were scam-exchanges, but btc-e definately is not.

No i am not paid by them...

no bro
I am not with them if they scam people, I am just a simple member. In fact I used this site . i still use this site . I have never had any problems . I have friends there . they have not had any problems!
Good site , I have never heard before this site  is a scam . Possible some people are having problems with them
If there is something wrong. This does not mean that the site is a scam . If you do not have problems or mistakes.
You are fine there. You have to be smart

It's just a personal experience

I have fulfilled the requirements of btc-e, but they intentionally do not exchange mail for me.
