[UNSOLVED] WEX.NZ REFUSING TO UNLOCK MY ACCOUNT (thousands of dollars)

[cryptodevil]

And that to the tune of half a million US$... 

Maybe it's "just me" but for that kind of money I'd be communicating with my local and respectable lawyers with all the legalised documentation instead of here on BCTC...

That's another thing, Steven has already said it isn't half a million quid's-worth of bitcoin he is trying to recover. The discussion earlier in this thread about the bitcoin transactions shown from 2012/13 were exactly that, transactions. As far as I am aware he is looking to recover an undisclosed amount of bitcoin from his locked BTC-E account which, while he has pointed out they are worth considerably more now than they were back then, are nowhere near the 'hundreds of thousands' of dollars-worth people keep bringing up.

[LittleBitFunny]

That's pretty much unforgivable, a major exchange should at least have quick response and customer support, and definitely reasonable staff.

You're right, this could actually be a scam because if they only do it to a few accounts with lots of money they would still have mostly positive reviews and a fairly decent reputation.

[krack-r]

[...] Let's see, who's more respected/trusted here: the one being "Legendary" with a +45 trust score, or the other one who's a "full member" with a -2 trust rating...? [...]

The negative rating was added by cryptodevil because of this thread here. [...]

The fact that you've "conveniently" forgot to mention the negative trust ratings you got from:

Recargasbitcoinrapidos
Steven009
bamous
Donatelo
serenpower
Donatelo
playerbtc
Satosher

do not really help make you more trusthworthy in my opinion...  

Yes. Those are all scammers that I tagged first, because they actually tried to commit fraud here!!!
Read my trust ratings about them!
Again - according to the rating system here - Im trusted, since my red tags hold.
And I never, ever tried to commit fraud here. In fact I was defrauded of a few dollars. So I always ONLY deal through paxful. And now my Skrill is blocked due to a fraudulent payment, from a guy with 100+ green ratings there.
So think before you point fingers. Read their posts. Read mine. Then make judgement.

And please explain how has Steven009 proven that what he said is true?

[...]

I really don't know, a lot of "he said, she said" going on here. And that to the tune of half a million US$... 

Maybe it's "just me" but for that kind of money I'd be communicating with my local and respectable lawyers with all the legalised documentation instead of here on BCTC...

And we're actually saying the same stuff. Cryptodevil is violently attacking me for asking those exact questions. Again - If it was me I'd be on an airplane with a lawyer within the hour.
Arguing who's right here just makes it more suspicious.

Yes, that's another thing... all your sent feedback is negative. And I mean all, literally... 

What is it with that?!? Are you just gullible and fall for a lot of scams. Or do you only send feedback when scammed?

All I hear from you is a lot of they, they, they... and not a lot of introspective going on...

Whatever, this was the last free tip you got from me, enjoy!

[Steven009]

Again - If it was me I'd be on an airplane with a lawyer within the hour.

I would most likely do that, if they actually had an address. I didn't even need to "fly" there because I work on expat 3 hours from their supposedly "office" (the shell company that represents them on the UK (posted in this thread)), which has an actual address, has literally no one there. No assistant, no reception, nothing. It's empty. How do I know? It's not hard to figure, I was there.

I invite all people that live near that area to visit their official "office" in the UK. You'll see their doors closed.

@btc-e.com, provide me with an actual address. I want to send you the "hard-copy" that your "friend" required from me.

Again - don't even know these people.
EDIT: Man, if you're the real owner I hope it gets resolved soon. I think I made it easier for you, because the way you did it it wouldn't be resolved anytime in the next 5 years.

[cryptodevil]

I've added this to BTC-E's threads to see if we can't get a response from them.

Deal with this properly!
Do not ignore.

All you have done so far is to accuse the people who are trying to get you to resolve this of being scammers - You have done nothing to prove that Steven009 is not who he says he is, instead you have closed the ticket without resolving it.

You appear to be the guilty party so far and I would caution everybody against using this exchange unless and until this account recovery ticket is properly dealt with. If you think Steven is a crook then prove he is not who he says he is, the person named as the owner of the locked account that he has been trying to recover access to for OVER A YEAR.

It is utterly absurd that this matter is still unresolved either way.

I don't have to prove shit.
It's Steven that has to prove who he is. And he hasn't for 13 months.
And I don't see how the outcome of this involves me... I get nothing either way.
It's all between Steven and BTCe.
Placing negative rating on my account for pointing the obvious only looks you guilty and involved.
You never replied as to how much you've been promised?

Update: BTC-E's response to the above post and others like it requesting they properly deal with this ticket is that they just deleted them from their moderated threads.

@Steven - I assume you've had no further correspondence from them either?

[Steven009]

@Steven - I assume you've had no further correspondence from them either?

It's been a very long time since they've said anything. And I've also visited their supposedly "UK office" under their shell company. There's no one there, it's literally an empty place.

I'm waiting for them to send me their address either here or on the official ticket request I've sent them.

Keep us posted. If this gets resolved I will apologize as I promised.

Hopefully yes. But @btc-e.com is ignoring my request for their supposedly "Moscow office" so I can send proper documentation.

[Steven009]

Still unsolved, @btc-e.com is refusing to send me a contact of their lawyer/legal representative.

[TroubleBuddy]

Over 13 months of waiting in this case, and someone told ME to be patient after waiting for 2 weeks now... Sorry man, but say goodbye to your cash, start working on the lawsuit.

Even if you had access to your old wallet, they would ask you to send coins not only from the same wallet, but the same address as well. And even after that, well, just take a look: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1822217.0

Your case is pretty much identical as mine. If you seriously think about getting back your money, consider class suit, I am aboard, although I am not naive - they are shady as fuck and I have doubts it will work out. At least, we could ruin their reputation.

I'm up for it, but I can't reach them anymore. They haven't send any legal contact.

[parames3010]

I really find it sketchy that OP would fake a screenshot ? why does it say 480 BTC when there's no 480 BTC transaction to that address avaliable? SKETCHY

[Steven009]

Keeping this alive, situation not yet solved.

[Steven009]

They are still ignoring my tickets, yet they are resolving other user's issues. modus operandi is the same with them (selective scamming), yet mine is unsolved. I have provided the same if not more information than said users, yet they are still ignoring my tickets/thread.

[BlockChains]

They haven't replied to my help tickets either. I came back to sign in about two months ago to an account I hadn't signed into for maybe over a year. They said the password was reset and further instructions sent to my email. Nothing ever arrived to my email.  Then going and manually saying "forgot password" and entering email yields nothing. Then radio silence to two support tickets later where I was saying if they can't to send to the original email for some reason please send to an alternate email, along with all the proof it asks for on the site (such as previous logins and IP's and what wallet was used, etc). I just want to be able to log into my account.  Without being able to log in it seems they are keeping my several bitcoins hostage.

 I just figured I'd register my complaint here along with the others here.

[pbleak]

Ye are likely out of luck. btc-e is a pretty shady place. There is no obvious recourse behind the neg rep people have already given. I'd send a few more emails and then just accept it.
