Poloniex Preparing for an Exit Scam! DO _NOT_ SEND COINS THERE!

[Spoetnik]

I wonder what is going on.
I also am hearing complaints about Bittrex that are similar.
It's getting to be the same story with us older accounts and not getting out our coins and then no support.

Hmm no support from Poloniex or Bittrex... I know you've been around for a while Sputty; whats your next best exchange?

C-Cex?

None really i quit long ago all this crap.. what is there to trade ? ICO coins which are all scammy ?
All the newer ones seemed just as sketchy or worse to me.
Packs of cash hungry vultures pushing shitcoinery fer teh ROI'z.

You have any idea how many spam crypto emails i get my ass pounded with now these days with the email i used at Cryptsy ?
It's insane !
I have prob about 30 every time i check my inbox.

It's a greedy sketchy scene where every exchange ends up hacked and exit scammed eventually.
And of course you need your picture ID.  
Not happening..

BTCe was the only other one i used still around.

Fuck crypto.. it's all bullshit now.

Fuck crypto.. it's all bullshit now.

Sadly, I'm inclined to agree with you buddy.

You can't use bitcoin as a currency anymore.

ICOs are now synonymous with the word "scam" (well, lets be honest, its always been this way).

The forum is filled with manipulative, cold-blooded sons of the rich and the irrationally wishful mentally challenged.

AND POLONIEX _STILL_ NEVER RESOLVED MY ISSUE OR SENT ME A RESPONSE EMAIL.

They are completely full of shit.

Fuck Busoni, that dumb son of a bitch. I hope he gets what's coming to him.

I traded NXT the first day Poloniex opened up. And yeah, i have to agree i don't trust Polo anymore, especially after they shut down their troll box, and tried becoming an exclusive* exchange for "higher" end coins, but heavily have favored STR and Ripple through the years.

Poloniex, at one time, was the best exchange out there. I loved their site, and everything about it. They are in a state where they've completely shut their doors to any new currency (for the better and the worse) and are riding on the reputation and established platform they have, with 4-5 cryptos where they make half of there income from.

Both Polo and Bittrex won't last much longer, the FEDS are up their asses extorting traders information. I woulden't touch either those exchanges, solely because they are based in the U.S.

As for all these scammy ICO's, yeah it has always been like this, but now instead of mining coins to represent every imaginable thing you can think of, you have an ICO for it. You have a flock of dumb cunts who throw their btc and eth into them, without a second thought what they actually bought. Meanwhile, the guys who are promoting this shit (like honestly 10 groups run 90% of all ICO's ever made), have thousands of accounts fluffing their threads and creating an illusion of buy-ins.

These forums have become a cesspool of malnourished sheep and wolves ready to eat their every BTC up.

The flood gates have been opened and it's all going to collapse on itself sooner than later

I completely agree with you here. For a long while I traded exclusively on Poloniex, and this is how they repay me: by refusing to release thousands of dollars worth of coins. I'm afraid to try Bittrex. Guess I'll just stick to my dayjob for now.

[bitcoinbox]

Not all customers suffer from this kind of problems. Poloniex is maybe the one which will not scam anyone in the future because they are in us. You may be in loss but not scammed.

The fact that they are in the US is not a garantee at all. Have you heard about Cryptsy which was based in Florida? The owner of Cryptsy took off with all the money.

[ulhaq]

How is this surprising? People have been complianing about poor customer support and waiting for withdrawals, over the past few months to 1 year. Probably they are going to respond to you, but maybe it will take a week or more. There are plenty of posts all over the forum about late withdrawals, didn't you see those?

What do you mean you are trying to get your NEM, I thought you were trying to withdraw crypto?

Are atomic cross chain swaps going to replace these exchanges?

How long until there are decentralized exchanges with low fees and high liquidity?

How much can a verified member withdraw from poloniex per day?

[erikalui]

Polo was good enough when I used them a month ago for a $600 withdrawal and they sent it instantly but I know they are facing issues a lot these days and it's probably due to blockchain congestion too while hitbtc has a long history of delaying withdrawals and deposits. They are delaying my every bitcoin withdrawal for 24 hours. Nobody replies when you send them a support ticket. The only sites that respond quickly to me are cryptopia and coinsecure. Else others just sit on support tickets and do nothing. Their bitcointalk account too comes here rarely to help users. They should increase their staff as they earn so much from our trades and listings.

First: Why don't you verify your account with 2FA? They already said that your limit is 2K$ without verifying.
Second: If you don't want to verify your account, just keep withdrawing smaller amounts each day, like equal to $1950 per day till all your funds are withdrawn.
I know there will be higher fees with the second option, but that is the fee you're paying to not verify your account.

I have recently withdrawn using the second option and I have received bitcoin funds quite quickly without any hassle.

[krisnajsadrak]

classic problem with centralised exchange,,
slowly but surely decentralized exchange will replace the main trade volume in crypto world

[hawkice66]

Even after reading similar issues, I decided to open an account last month because of few coins being present there only. Got verified within few hours, daily withdraw limit is 25K $.
All my ETH deposits were relatively quick and have withdrawn BURST, XRP, BTC with no issues whatsoever.
Hope everything sorts out soon for you.

[IlfarIldarovich]

Yes, poloniex had problems but they were solved , usually support is answered ,it's been a few months ,but everything came back to normal

[mitata]

I can confirm that Poloniex are NOT resolving deposit issues, at least they do not resolve them fast. I have sent them Stellar Lumens (XLM/STR) yesterday. The transaction is confirmed and could be checked in stellarchain.io, but the funds are not into my account. I wrote the support and have not an answer from them. I want my issue resolved soon, becuse from yesterday the price dropped twice. I use the exchanges for day trade and want deposits resolved quick. I do not have an idea why those guys (who are making millions each day from taxes and fees) are not hiring more suport. They could affort hundreds of developers and thousands of support, but they just don't care.

[lingwistiko]

Heard so many news about crypto exchanges being hacked. These sites are really the best targets of cyber criminals because they know what's inside the crypto markets.

[commanderbitcoin]

If you are a legacy account and didn't send a required documents for proper verifiction, your limit would still be $2000. If the limit of $2000 limit still not changed, it means they didn't process your application yet. In terms of support, i agree that their costumer service really sucks just like yobit. If you can afford to go to US you can sue them. Make sure you bring your proper documents and hire a good lawyer.

[cryptohunter]

they turned off the

xdn xcn wallets months ago trapping peoples coins there i have sent many support requests

bbr withdrawals all pending for months

total shit hole now

[linkybit]

wow you can't get your own money. That's really frustrating but Poloniex support is like that you have to wait and wait, I moved to bittrex few months ago after having problems.

[tokeweed]

As for the ip ban, there must be something going on in there.  Maybe your account was flagged by mistake or something?

Do you have a verified account with them?  Just curious.

Yes, verified, legitimized, stamped and approved. I've also used them numerous times from this country and this is the first time this has happened.

Like I said I've had my account with them for almost 4 years -- since the very beginning, when their font type was horribly unattractive and almost illegible. I've done thousands of dollars worth of business with them since and now they decide to throw the banhammer directly at my balls.

This is really weird.  I think the best thing to do now is to calm down and plead your case.  I mean they have your transaction history.  At least they should tell you why they banned you.  Tho, it's in their new TOS that explicitly says they reserve the right to ban accounts as they see fit.

Plead my case to who? I already have been doing that for a solid month. No response. They have the right to ban accounts and keep their money? No, they don't. Sorry, but you're wrong: morally, legally and in reality. They haven't told me shit because they are criminal hacks on the verge of a massive exit scam.

Ban accounts is not the same as allowed to retain your funds. That is totally illegal of course.

You obviously didn't read any of my reply posts. I have a legacy account that is verified. I do have 2-FA turned on. But its unnecessary because they require that you provide a code sent via email to you in order to log in in the first place. I wasn't trying to withdraw over $2000 at one time -- they kept a ton of my NEM without sending it, and now they are keeping an equal value of my BTC.

Goody goody for you. I'm so happy for you that Polo hasn't scammed you yet. Meanwhile I'm living in a mosquito-ridden AirBnB in the middle of provincial Philippines because I can't get my money out of Polo. I can't sleep, I can't concentrate on work, I barely even get internet here. This sucks. They are wasting my life away for no discernible reason. So I have every right to call them out on their criminal behavior until they do the right thing and release my funds.

Like I said, I've been a customer with them for almost 4 years. And now this, out of the blue. With no explanation. But go ahead and keep using Polo, if you're a fool.

Well it's too late for me.  About a month ago I started trading crypto.  I made some money on Litecoin so I too the profits and bought XRP and I used Poloniex! I sold 1/2 about 2 weeks ago and sent the proceeds with ZERO problems.  So as it stands right now I still have the remaining XRP and Doge there.  I noticed this week that the (!) notation by XRP states that withdrawals have bee suspended due to traffic congestion.

We'll see...I haven't hit the panic button yet, but I have taken out of the drawer!!!
