HitBTC scam!

[Apekool]

How funny.

I got reply to my ticket asking to be patience.

There response come in 5days after submitting tickets. they said didnt expect delay on deposit.

What about delay on response to ticket at least ? did they expect that???

When you try to type into chat msg.

this is what i type and they filter it out and banned me.

"to the moon on this exchange... with such delay on deposit and withdraw... to the moon where?


HOW THE HELL YOU GET BANNED WITH SUCH WRITING... NO RUDE WORDS.

I dont think i ever get my fund back from this exchange.
Until then i do my best not letting another victim like myself fall for such fraud and scam

Can you enable your PB inbox to receive a message from a newbie?

Maybe a small fundraiser so that someone can file a complaint to the Hong Kong authorities (here: LINK) and has the means to actually go there to settle the dispute.

e.g. a plane ticket, legal counsil, international council, Hong Kong council, and whatever, for one or several parties of interest (users) that have a plausible case.

me no customer

I used to like HitBTC but now it just seems like one thing after the other. I was recently alerted to this one coin they listed on Coinmarketcap under Presearch using the ticker PRE.
So people would be redirected from there to PRE on HitBTC. Only one problem with that... The coin that HitBTC linked to from Coinmarketcap is not actually Presearch. In fact, I couldn't find any information on the coin they named Premine when looking in the tab under the PRE ticker.
They have changed the ticker now to PRS but CoinExchange still used PRE. Either way you look at it this is an exchange that has no issues whatsoever about scamming its customers.
I still have a few holdings on HitBTC but those are definintely going to Bittrex after seeing this one. And I don't think I would move back even if they reimbursed all the customers they scammed because this appears to be something that is perfectly acceptable to HitBTC. Just look at the thread on this matter over in their forum:
https://forum.hitbtc.com/discussion/7694/pre-is-premine-it-is-not-presearch-and-needs-to-be-shut-down-asap/p3

So any update with this shit? We lost our money?

omg, I used the exchange for a few times... but not a lot of coins, it seems there is not a lot of good coins traded there and fees are very high.

Not only Hitbtc, there are many exchange taking lot of transaction fee while trading and withdrawing from the exchanges. I think few people are facing some problems with the deposits and withdrawal, I think hitbtc support system should improve inorder to get solve tickets as soon as possible.

It's worth thinking about the intentions that are behind this.

There's a lot of delay and complaints about transactions and funds if you check out some forums. Yet HitBtc keeps on listing new coins, as the one in the quote above, and continues doing this. So apparently there is communication between HitBtc and several ICO/coin teams, while there is very very few communication about complaints regarding their service. This hasn't changed and they actually never ever even opened up a job offer for that. They "have" a few communications/marketing officers, but I'll bet they can't help you at all.

[Apekool]

Even so, let's say I'm lying. In general. Would you trust a company that generates new complaints as fast as it lists new coins, while it doesn't respond to those complaints, and has moved to Hong Kong so that if you have a legal issue with them, you would have to fly to Hong Kong? Seems legit.

I by default don't trust any altcoin exchange listing for the major part only shitcoins, and neither should other people do. If you think an exchange with a pretty mixed reputation since its existence is a good place to trade and store coins (yes, there are fools doing so), you're just a three-dimensional clown with no right of complaining. It's harsh, I know, but the time for friendly reminders is no longer applicable. Friendly words don't seem to have any impact whatsoever, so it has to be pointed out in a less friendly way to make an important point stand out and gain weight. There are so many capable exchanges to choose from, why do people so badly want an incompetent exchange that lists loads and loads shitcoins?

I was also following this exchange and was almost thought of opening the account here and by then the lot of complaints started pouring in which just made me alert and postponed my account opening here . Thus from then I have not got much positive feedback and now I am not going to open here . Hope your issue is resolved soon .

[jdragon]

Congrate HitBTC finally fix TRX issue.

I was going to ask for help from the online admin.
He banned me as if he were kidding.

A month ago I had some problems with my withdrawals, didn't went through for some reason, but got fixed on it self.
I have had a support ticket opened back then, and believe it or not, I just got a reply!
After more than a month.

[ZeroTolerance]

I had only one question - who these people, those trading on this scam shit? It has good volumes, who they are

I have the same problem as yours, my withdrawals didn't went through and then I have to call the attention of their support and says that they are going to look at it but it took them 3 weeks to finally send me the funds in my wallets which I lost substantial amount already because I wasn't able to trade in it time.

I'm really disappointed that's why I took everything and try other exchanges. Bad experience for me.

[FUDeral_Reserve]

Any news on recent withdrawals? Has anyone been successful?

[Hui8]

I am not sure why this thread is getting so many responses in negative ways because I'm using hitbtc since long and daily basis but there is no such issue arising with me. Yesterday only I traded my ETH with BTC and played along with other coins for the margin trades. I was even successful while making withdrawal despite the thing that hitbtc had some issues with its withdrawal process. Though the notice was published as precautionary thing I did proceed with my withdrawal and gotten the money instantly into my wallet.

You guys need to check whether you are on the right exchanger or not. Lol. The hitbtc is working just fine for me!

[hallelujahDK]

Hi.

This is crazy how many there are experiencing problems with HitBTC. I have also have my CND tokens stuck with them for 3 month now. and it is not a small amount either. So yesterday i write to Cindicators official support, to get there opinion on the matter and they responded:
Thank you for contacting Cindicator Support,
First of all we are not listed on HitBTC, This listing is not official, you can only blame yourself for trading CND Tokens there.

This came as a shock to me, that an exchange can list a token/coin for over 3 months without the companys approvel. And also how lightly cindicator took it. It should be in there interest to get there token/coin removed from HitBTC.
Instead of trying to sue them. we should all contact the companies of the coins we are having problems with on HitBTC. If we just get one company to take action, I think the rest will follow or at least make the media aware of it. I would like to hear if anybody else has have problems with the same token as me(CND) on HitBTC. I really like what you all are trying to achieve, but I think if we could get some or just one of the companies involved, we would be better of. Sorry for the long rant. But you guys now how frustrating it is. Keep spreading the truth about HitBTC.

[Nicol3]

I also just realized about my HITBTC account, I just withdrawn a coin from HITBTC to another exchange site and I was shocked how much they have got out of my coin. I know there is a fee for every transaction because that's given already but how come I the fee doubled up when I transfer it to the other exchange site? I think most of the accusations here are true because I never expected I'd also experience the same scenario some are experiencing as well, and they should do something about it asap.

Please help expose HitBTC, they're scammers. If you're a Lawyer, please contact me regarding a CLASS ACTION against this company.



I, along with 1000's of others have been ripped off by their shady tactics. They leave DEAD coins on their site, and change the tickers to trick you into thinking its another good coin. Just google "HitBTC premine" They kept the dead coin "Premine" on their site, and took the ticker from Presearch to make people think the Dead coin Premine was Presearch! And, they made Premine the same price as Presearch! When you google this, you can see that people were complaining for months. They DID NOT have the official name next to the Ticker, this was a perfect crime from them, they made millions by selling a dead coin even months after they received many emails. Their official comment was that "People need to do their research first"  WE DID DO OUR RESEARCH! When buying a coin, I check 2 things; 1. The Ticker and 2. the price against CMC. Again, I say to you that HitBTC had not only changed the ticker, THEY ALSO MADE THE PRICE THE SAME as the coin that they were tricking people into thinking they were buying. (Dont take my word for it, just look this up)



And just now, I see they're still selling BAR.....see? TITANIUM BLOCKCHAIN asked them to cease selling the coin. Its dead. But they are till this Minuit still selling it to unsuspecting customers. Yes, you need to do your due diligence. But this exchange is just a new level of low.

Stay well clear of these criminals. I lost $2000. Im tired of hearing "This is the wild west" RUBBISH! We are moving forward on the space. Look at the main exchanges, even Kucoin has live help. Lets work together to rid the crypto space of criminals like Hit Job BTC. Yes, you have to be carefull in which projects you invest in. But you should not have to purchase from criminal exchanges.


If you google HitBTC scam, you can read about the 1000's of others who have been ripped off by these fraudsters.

Stay well clear of these criminals
