Is poloniex scamming customers

[ranev]

If you define scam as; "having enough money to upgrade infrastructure to an acceptable standard and hire support staff but choosing instead to lie toes up in Acapulco while people lose money because of your lack of due dilligence" then yes, it's a scam.

[SyGambler]

I honestly don't think poloniex is a scam exchange, but they have several issues and complaints against them. I would not recommend them until they improve their customer service. Which in this industry is one of the worst. Use only if you don't mind being ignored, and be ready to wait for long periods to sort any problem with them.

if they were saying something or giving updates I wouldn't call them scam , but they are just ignoring some customers while they are processing withdrawals for others normally
this is not professional , even they aren't following the order in responding tickets

just take a look at my ticket and see its # and how many days I'm waiting for it to be solved , while other users with ticket number like 200K got paid

Hmm. I don't see why they would want to scam you for so many, as it can hurt their exchange a shitton. Doesn't really seem to be worth it.

What's more likely is that they are lacking a lot of staff to resolve tickets. I don't think their moderation team is that big, and you can't simply appoint new staff for something as big as poloniex. That takes a lot of time and afford.

Try to contact a moderator of poloniex directly, instead of the ticket system, that might work out better for you.

yeah maybe , but when you have a lot of tickets that usually means that you have to solve them one by one in order right ??
as I noticed they are not doing that , and most people with delayed tickets such mine are from countries that can't do much against poloniex

you mentioned contacting a poloniex moderator directly , can you please tell me how to do that ?? cause AFAIK the only way to reach polo these days is thro their tickets or maybe thro twitter if they read people comments and I already did both

been waiting for like x4 or x5 what you are waiting for , and I have no idea if we are scammed or they will pay us with time
some one above mentioned contacting their moderator but I don't have an idea how to do that so I'm waiting for him to reply

mind sharing with me where you from ?? I'm trying to figure out if the delays have anything to do with people's countries

[hallo_frosch]

Is Poloniex a scam ?
If you think that taking peoples money without doing the job and without responding to Tickets and a status verfication within 2 Month (!) -  than Yes, Poloniex is indeed a big, bad scam company stealing peoples money.

Not sure how to do that, I had some luck contacting moderators through the trollbox, but they removed the trollbox a couple weeks ago. Not sure how you can contact them directly now.

oh well I tried that long time ago before they remove the trollbox and none of their mods helped me
now some one said to me that they are kinda responding to people who are complaining on reddit , and there is a guy called Mike who is a part of poloniex is helping people , so one of my friends contacted him for me two days ago stil no answer

will update you if the reddit thing is working

[Hueristic]

I'm usually one of the first ones to defend them but lately I have had issues where I've put margin bids in right before large market moves and watched the orders just disappear from the books so something is going on and they have not responded to my ticket which is a first for me.

Nice to hear any chance of respond.
But with a tons of problem, un-solving tickets and systems problem on some bids market, etc.
Will they resolve those tons problems? I guess no, silent / no-respond and going to scam is an option will they take.
If maybe (of course less possibility) they will resolve it all, it still will happen all members on poloniex, will take action wd all them money. and wont take back there. experience is good teacher, isn't?
Can poloniex face this chaos?

[bitwarrior]

If you still have coins on poloniex, better move them to a safer place, I myself have some unsolved tickets , which the older one has been still in being processed mode for more than 40 days in spite of repeated follow-ups.

Poloniex is becoming a cryptsy. so better stay out there while they fix their issues.

still no response yet both in ticket and reddit , but hopefully there is a small chance that I can get answered in reddit
Poloniex is the worst exchange at the moment , even yobit is way better these days than polo what a shame !!
I wouldn't recommend leaving a penny there these days with this huge drama going on , some people are still having good experience with polo but most likely they are the next target

I lost trust in polo , when it takes 57 days ( and still counting ) to process a one time withdrawal with really old ticket ( #128707 ) that definitely means that something fishy is going on and an exit scam is possible
maybe they lost funds and not announcing it

Sure, keep your eyes shut.

For the people who have open tickets at poloniex, maybe this a good central point to get an overview of the issues.

yeah right keep doin what you doin congrats !! man I was using them for the past two years and they are literally the worst exchange these days
our issues are not valid !! they are temporary !! really man !!
been waiting for my withdrawal for 62 days now is that a temporary !! should I wait two years more till they solve the tickets issue ? or maybe I should write in my will that I have money in poloniex and  hopefully my grand children get that money in the future

stop defending them , you can't ignore all the problems that other users are facing
actually the whole thing that some users still have good experience with poloniex while others are suffering make the things even shadier

[mklost]

For trading poloniex its a good place but the issues are withdraws and support tickets that take so long to resolve.

Because you fucking retard I have been using them since day one and they have the most reliable exchange during that period until recently. There will always be faggot fudders that try to push n00bs to scam exchange by fudding good ones which it looks like you are fucktard.

And that is the reason why I posted that I now believe these issues are real. You can't trust a bunch of n00b accounts posting no matter what they are saying. And they always do it without proof. So trusted members have to chime in with their experiences. It really is an obligation but these days all you see is scammers and fudders these scene has become a cesspool of the most worthless trash there is. It's no wonder so many great members have just left this site.
