My account has been verified.
I got a response after 6 days, after which I submitted new info and 2 days later my account was verified.
I have placed a withdrawal request for my TIME tokens (the last day I believe, they've been delisted on the 1st, and it's the 14th today [you're able to withdraw delisted tokens only for 14 days]).

''Confirmed scammers'' That's not really true, they are just really unprofessional. Unfortunately the only way to get your coins/money back is by providing them with your personal information. At the end of the day most exchanges will ask you for personal information.

Except their verification process is horribly broken and instead of providing a reasonable solution they will simply lock the account for good. That is about as scammy as it gets. They know that most people won't go to the trouble of getting a new ID card or whatever is needed to pass the verification (if at all possible) so they can sweep up those small amounts.

If this was purely a KYC issue they would work to help their customers. This is not what's happening. Their support people are acting like assholes determined to piss you off and make it not worth bothering to regain access.

Except if they were really scamming they would have ran away by now. As I said, I'm not defending them, they are extremely unprofessional and a horrible service in general but personally I got verified after a month, I withdrew everything and here I am. You can get verified as well, it just takes time.

They are not only unprofessional.... We can't call "horrible service" actions that killed bittrex reputation. Because this is what they did.... they distroyed their reputation. They where one of the main exchange on the market. How could anyone trust them again after this shit!?

For a comparison we can look on how poloniex treated this kyc requirement... First of all they declared that there will be an annuncement of a deadline for kyc, and even after the deadline customers will be able to withdrawal their funds without verification. This if fair and professional.

It is clear that poloniex don't want to steal customers funds.... What about bittrex?

I understand your point. I'm not defending them whatsoever, they are garbage. I'm just saying that they can't be called scam as we usually know the word scam. They are, in some way, scamming but with a more sophisticated way. Nonetheless I don't think they are spending the money that's stuck in there because disabled/unverified accounts can become verified/enabled again.

I think the bigger worry is that the money might be already gone (hack or embezzlement or whatever) and Bittrex is trying to restrict withdrawals to remain solvent, like Cryptsy did. There is no plausible reason to do what they're doing if the intent was purely KYC. Too many red flags, including the way their customer service is lying point blank.

Bittrex support asked me for submitting US passport and bill utility for an enhance verification. I would add my account is DISABLED for TWO months now!  they closed my tickets and kept the only one. I submitted the document but 24 hours and nothing. I know some people saying they are a scam and don't send your ID but what would you do if you have your coins stuck there!! try whatever possible way. I have submitted all the documents including the passport before. DOn't get it !!

But they have verified a lot of accounts, eventually. I don't know how many tickets they have right now but certainly less than before. They have verified accounts with quite a lot of money too, I don't think they are already gone but time will tell.

I did send 0.1 ether like 7 months ago, to test their services, it was my first time over there and the coins never showed up in my wallet. After a month of tickets opening an reopening and blablabla from their support, I decided to let it go and gave them up as a loss.

Now we have issues with BitFinex and Theter, Cex.io with their assets in Afganistan and not paying withdraws of over 34,000, BitConnect, another post where a guy is waiting for his coins for over a month on Yobit platform, CoinBase with their BtcTrach and with their withdraw problems, South-Korea and China politicians at the top-level of scamming, McAfee pumping shitcoins on Twitter and promoting fake ICO's like no one was watching, newbies crying towards governmental institution, Reddit with their suicide-preventing posts, and I could go on like this but I don't have the energy to do so...

The only way out I've found for the moment is LocalBitcoins, and where I only do business is in person with not too much coins because we never know who is on the other side and what their intentions are.

The crypto world is doomed and the only one making profit are all those scammers. But hey, it will be regulated soon... I don't think so, the only future I think this has, is that it is all going to get banned!

And me, as the dumbass that I am, I quitted my job a year ago to become a "BlockChain programmer". Here I am now, developing Smart Contracts for fun on top of Ethereum and EOS for nothing!! I guess now the only option I have is to go back to Reddit and go search for that fu*king phone number  .

building for nothing on a broken platform makes soooo much sense! 

===>your thinking is flawed and thus your view= "crypto-doom" is imminent lol

I have coins held ransom there for almost 6 months. With an enhanced account and previously enabled they took away and disabled my account when I went to reset my 2FA due to losing a phone. Now they do not accept my picture/id that I send in with drivers license, passport, state ID I just get back a generic form email. Very frustrating!!

Hey.

Have you managed to get it sorted and recovered anything or started negotiations?

Same thing here, $1.5k stuck...

I opened a support ticket over 21 days ago for manual verification. I got an automatic reply. Days later I opened a second new ticket. Now I got a real person reply saying: " and due to increased volume in tickets we are experiencing longer support times than usual".

Read the Bittrex twitter, google a bit, you will find dozens of people saying the same thing:
"I have been locked",
"I can't take my money out!",
"Give me back my money!",
"Scammers!", etc.

This is really awful... Something has to be done

After 55-60 days waiting it was finally solved. Relief.

I completely agree with you. Nobody should trust bittrex anymore. My withdrawal are still locked, but for bittrex i can continue to deposit even without kyc verification, loosing then my funds.

One day they may decide to force a new "super verification" that no one can complete. Who could know after what they did!?

This is fraud.
