changenow.io - Review?

[leowonderful]

Besides all of this, from what I've seen looking at both sites, Shapeshift provides slightly better rates at the moment for certain pairs like ETH/BTC even with their quick swap system. Makes basically no sense to use Changenow anyways if they're requiring KYC occasionally, as Shapeshift has no such requirement. I fail to see why anyone would use a coin swap site with KYC over one with slightly better rates and no KYC. Why swap services if the current one is just fine?

If it's about to review changenow.io I will give you the suggestion to avoid the exchange site.They are policy is quite complicated. many of there getting cheated.they are just giving a little but they are taking a lot from the customers who are going towards them.
My suggestion is this if you don't want to loose your money..take your decisions carefully.

We're sorry that this is the experience you've had with ChangeNOW. Our policy is quite clearly explained in our FAQ, Terms Of Use, and Privacy Policy. The "many users getting cheated" situation you're describing here is one user (ni23457) refusing to pass KYC and having his exchange finished and being very active about it on the forums.

[Polina_ChangeNOW]

There are many negative reviews.People are saying that is a scam.So,I think we need to skip them.

Unfortunately, all those reviews have been paid for by ni23457, who has openly admitted having done that in our customer support.

I'll have to inform you that all legitimate instant exchangers have KYC implemented. Meanwhile, ChangeNOW has some rare coin pairs than our market rivals don't. Besides, some people just find our service better and more preferrable than others.

Are you saying that Shapeshift is an illegitimate instant exchange (it's the most used one by popularity and likely by volume), or that they require KYC? I've exchanged several thousand USD in crypto through their system, and I've never had to go through any verification whatsoever, and I seriously doubt they are illegitimate. I can respect your statements of people finding your service better and you guys having some rarer pairs, but I disagree with your first two statements.

I disagree too and its quite not ethical to say against competitor to presume that they are running illegitimate business.Im also a user of Shapeshift too for years and doesn't experience to have that KYC requirement that had been mentioned on here and I don't know where he do get such thing about verification. We understand for some coins but this isn't happening on shapeshift that's why people do love to use it because it isn't too hassle to use up a swap site.In this case this would be hard for them to compete with shapeshift alone.

Wow!  I did not see this topic!

Let's I tell you a story my dear friends.

The problem of these guys is here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4619534.0 ChangeNow.io - Scam. Illegally holding of 100 BCH (11 bitcoins).
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4647308.0 INVESTIGATION TOPIC WITH THE INFO ABOUT SCAMMERS

Okay if they would be honest and law-abiding guys, who demand documents from everyone.
But the problem is that these are dishonest Russian scammers who wanted to steal 11 bitcoins from a crypto pioneer, which fell on them only because I confused them with Changelly

How did this happen?
1. July 5 - I send them 100 BCH. They stop the exchange and require a passport.  I'm asked by a man with a Russian name Sergey. I was embarrassed and sent them the first picture with someone's passport from Google pictures. Then they asked for selfie.
2. July 6 - I sent them a real passport photo and selfie and apologized for the last picture.
3. They were offended and said they would conduct some kind of investigation. They within 2 weeks told everyone that they are conducting some kind of investigation.
4. July 19 - I told them that I know that this is absolutely Russian service and I know absolutely everything about them. I also said that I will not work with people who organized illegal business in their country. in Russia there are no laws about crypto currency. And they organized anonymous exchange service. This is a black business. I do not want me and my money to concern this business. I demanded to return my money back.
5. And since then they have found to themselves an occasion not to give me money - they require video verification. But I will never go through it, because they are criminals in their own country. I do not negotiate with criminals. 100 BCH, which I got for free with hardfork, is not the amount to forget about my principles.

These people know perfectly well that I own crystal-clear coins, but they still do not return them for more than a month.

1. There is only one incoming transaction(a few months ago) and one outgoing transaction(to ChangeNow.io) on the wallet.
2. The origin of funds on this wallet is my another wallet. This wallet was created 5 years ago(before bitcoin hardfork) and it replenished only once(5 years ago).
3. The presence of many coins on my wallets indicates that private keys were not stolen.

Draw conclusions ladies and gentlemen


And by the way

Unfortunately, all those reviews have been paid for by ni23457, who has openly admitted having done that in our customer support.

All Internet resources will have information about you, but I asked the team not to write on this forum. Here I will deal with you myself. It does not take much time. So no one paid them... at least I did not pay

[matej krkic]

Why don’t you post here that you deny to pass kyc and have submitted fake docs several times? Why don’t you mention that the coins were previously  stolen by you and you can’t prove the sources of funds? Smiley such a funny scammer

So funny to speak with you. You even don’t understand that nobody cares about your scam here. Only that helps you not to go to prison. Hope one days things will change and europol will come to you

P.S. Sorry, but your investigation about “my profiles” has failed ) But its ok for such a kid.

This is not even the evidence. But the facts that you deny disclosing the address and deny video call after providing “REAL” Id show that you are afraid of something. Typical behavior of a scammer

They have seen this message many times. If they did not refute it, then it really is. Is it difficult for you to understand?

deny disclosing the address and deny video call

Well, I think they are pathetic vile rats. I do not talk with rats. Do you think I really need these f*cking 100 BCH?
I will spend the same amount of money, but I will get true satisfaction from the fact that their service will be closed, and the police and FSB will come to their office.
I understand that you are not a real man and you do not understand what pride and honor mean, but accept it as it is.

[matej krkic]

OMG, seems that I have a guess! Are you connected to WEX.NZ (ex btc-e)?

- you are from Russia,
- you are denying to pass KYC and afraid to disclose your personality,
- you are denying to disclose your wallet address,
- you say that the wallet was created and replenished 5 years ago and you DIDN'T touch it even during the hypes(!!!),
- now you are trying to sell and exchange these coins exactly the same time when WEX.NZ is exitscamming.

Seems that the wallet address has a huge amount of stolen money connected somehow to wex.nz!

What a shame. They are so cowardly freaks. A week ago they fled from their office.

St. Petersburg, Ligovsky prospect, 50, building 13, office 28, +7 812 646-96-32 (Investigation topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4647308.0 )

They immediately disappeared as soon as Russian sites wrote about their illegal activities in the center of St. Petersburg.

I knew they are cowardly rats, but I never would have imagined that.


Look at the address below. It has not changed. Although as their neighbors say, there is already no one there for a week.
https://evercodelab.com/

If you call +7 812 646-96-32 then most likely you will be answered by Konstantin Brumm (CEO of Evercode at now when Roman Lapin is founder of Evercode(and CEO of ChangeNOW) but both work together. Evercode is developer of ChangeNOW).
And just try asking them why they did not change the address on the site. Why did they escape. Why is the legitimate company something to be afraid of? (they understand English well.)
Perhaps they will tell you their new address, and then the lawyers will be able to come to them... before police and FSB

[matej krkic]

Did you come there to pass KYC procedure, Mr.Scammer?

Btw, why is your reddit account banned? For spreading FUD? =)

You call yourself a legitimate business. Why do you run away from your office and keep the new address a secret? What are you afraid of? After all, you have everything under the law and Russian police will protect you. So what is the problem?

[matej krkic]

How can you call yourself not a scammer when you refuse to make a video call after providing “real” ID? Are you afraid of something? So why do you call to their telephone number instead? Or it was not you because you are afraid of something?

You are just a funny dumb kid

P.S. If anyone here is really interested - no "russian site" has written about that case. Only few payed posts by shitbloggers found in the internet by this scamer.

[bitcoinewman]

Dear BCT users, it's only thanks to me. Just information about these Russian scammers began to appear on many resources,  and they decided that you would block my flow of information.

I hate to tell you about it, but you are just slaves for them.

Yes, this project is a SCAM

https://i.imgur.com/eIVlZLu.jpg

I have translated their project whitepaper because i did not know they were scammers after the completion of the translation i sent it to the Project Group Manager and her name ( Powina Shangley and her username of telegram @deepmoist ) Powina told me

(we handed it over to a proofreader from UAE and he said that it's not up to standards, unfortunately)

and i told her

(If this person who checked my translation is honest, then what the reasons that led to the rejection of my translation and the mistakes made in the translation ?!)

and Powina told me

(not all translations have been accepted we have a big spreadsheet with rejected or unfinished translations i'm offering you a quarter of a payout for what translators with accepted works have earned )

But I refused this offer and i told her

(I'm tired of translating and I'm sure it's correct and I want anyone to discuss it with him Or the person who said that my translation not up to standards and my rejected translation is wrong for me and I want to know the reasons?)

and after i find your comment #ni23457
 on their bounty Thread

(Dear BCT users, it's only thanks to me. Just information about these Russian scammers began to appear on many resources,  and they decided that you would block my flow of information...Etc)

--> I knew that this project is a SCAM and i have sent them as scammers in their group on telegram and to that girl via private messages and this girl was banned me from the official NOWtoken official group and when I told her I had screenshots On that conversation -> Powina told me

(look, what do you want from us? we can pay you the regular amount we pay for a translation which is 2250 tokens would that be enough for you?)

and i told her

( I do not want your failed tokens, stop scam people.....)

and Powina told me

(we have just offered you the same amount that we have already paid to our other translators. if you are okay with it you will get it as soon  as possible are you still ready to negotiate?)

and i told her

(Soon you will find my answer)
