Be careful with those sites that say they will get your money back for you.

HitBTC is a known SCAM and is stealing peoples funds using the excuse of KYC.
I know people that have a lot of money there and just can't complete the KYC proccess and withdraw their funds, it's like they want a picture of your birth, documents that don't exist.
I posted a simple question about this in their telegram group and in 10 seconds my message was deleted and they ban me.
If you don't consider someone eligible as your client because of KYC issues what you must do is REFUSE them and revert the deposits, that's the only reasonable way of treating this matter, holding people's fund using this false KYC excuse is just ABSURD.
Hope this thieves go to jail ASAP
AGAIN STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAM

Definitely a scam. Have been dealing with a Daniella Wagner for 21 days. Have provided everything asked for with exception of a wallet that I made some deposits from over 2 years ago because I no longer use or have access to those apps, however I AM logging in from same IP address and am communicating from them via the same protonmail address I used initially, and they are denying that I am, outright. Also, it's about $400.00 USD worth, was about $500 21 days ago, and they're demanding government ID when they never asked for this initially or when I made a deposit.
Anyone with common sense and half a brain know that giving them government ID now wouldn't vet anything because they have nothing to compare to. They have email and IP.
Why would they need government ID.
I don't know who they are, they don't need to know who I am.
So they have my coins and want my ID.
The only logical conclusion is identity theft and scam.
Prove me wrong.

I have used HitBTC in the past without any issues but I've seen a large amount of complaints about funds being held hostage. After seeing what kind of hoops people had to jump through I moved to a different exchange.

They locked my funds afther a withdrawl request, my account was registered in 2017 i'm an occasional trader on hitbitc and i always used the same whitelisted ethereum address for deposit and withdrawals and they replied with a standard page "The activity on your account was labeled as suspicious" and no other clarification  |

Today about 9 hours ago I also had this KYC issue. Account is registrered 2 years ago but at that time I only made few transactions with them and it was about 2 years ago. Yesterday I made a deposit to Hitbtc for about 1100USDT, 9 hours ago tried to withdraw it and got a KYC request from them. I uploaded pictures of my drivers licence, selfie, name, address and phone number. I didn't write them anything about that and decided to wait. Now 9 hours later my account is verified and made another withdraw to Binance and it also arrived. So I would not say that Hitbtc is a scam.

I am trying to withdraw a small amount of XRP from HitBTC, and this withdrawal was refused (my own XRP refused to me); I suspect it is due to the fact that I have not filled out the lenghty KYC form they ask of me.
I will never anymore fill out these long KYC forms. It takes like 1-2 hours, and then the exchange gets hacked or closes down and I end up having done this for nothing. Also, I do not trust HitBTC with my personal info.
I will keep you posted about this problem; if I dont get my money I plan on spending the 2 hours it would take me to fill out the KYC to instead run a negative campaign about them across all crypto forums.
This also brings back the old truth: Never trust exchanges, don't leave coin there: one way or another you will lose it.

I am writing a story from my brother. In December 2018, my brother decided to replenish the balance of 2.6 btc on hitbtc. Some time after the trade, he decided to pick them up. He was asked to go through KYC. He submitted all the documents. They asked him many times. different documents all the time. He suffered this humiliation. But he gave everything that they asked. After that, they assigned him a Skype call. Nikolas from Hitbtc will introduce his case sends him the same letter with the same content. He was blocked in Trolbox Hitbtc. Telegram support does not help. I write to them every day but they say that they cannot help us with anything! This is the most terrible exchange. My brother from India is big money for him! he is very poorly maintained that he cannot write here!!!

Shit man that sounds rough. I'm from the US and I deposited some $700 to trade, after realizing they don't deal with US customers due to legal issues (it's on their T&C) I thought I was done, but was able to withdraw by getting in contact with support. Point is that if it's important money for your brother keep contacting them by following up on your ticket and you might be able to resolve this via the proper channels. Best of lucks! |

Ouch. 2.6 BTC is alot of money anywhere in world, let alone India. Hopefully he will remain vigilant and resolve the issue. For me HitBTC has always been dodgy, but a good place to dump bounty tokens for few hundred $. Never had an issue |

Hitbtc/shitbtc is one of the few shady exchanges. Hitbtc scammed many people's moneywith various excuses. I can feel how much it hurts to lose this amount of money. But I don't know why your brother deposite such a big amount of money in hitbtc! |

ScamViruS please contact me about this. I am talking to Eurojust about these scammers and I am gathering as much evidence as I can. Do you happen to have a picture or video of the guy who did the skype call?

Fell very sorry reading your brothers story! It's totally worst when somebody such big money without doing any fault. So learning point is don't put your big money in cex specifically Hitbtc. |

Another problem with HitBTC. Unfortunately I chose this exchange over Huobi after both of these were recommended to me for the specific coin I want to trade.
Situation looks hopeless, all documents I send are being rejected in very short time with the same generic auto responses. No responses on reddit, Facebook or anywhere. They reject a scan of a passport for not being readable.
What is the way to enforce pressure to get money back? Hunt their twitter and social media?
