any news? did you get your 10 BTC yet?

No still nothing. 

Not even 8 BTC which is what I asked for from their "Insurance Fund".   


This has ruined me financially and they can fix it but do not care.

Hey, you're doing something nicer there! Could you give us some more information about your initiative? No much information about the team could be found on the website. How's it going to work? Will lodging a complaint help people get their money back? You could be also an organisation (or pretend to be) who takes such information and take bribes from YoBit? We will never know until you tell us your long term plan with the org.

Sorry but I still wonder why you have still choosen yobit after all of its bad reviews and experiences.

Recovering your btc is i think almost impossible right now. If they are showing sincerity then they must have been curious where is that amount came from since that is actually huge. Unless they haven't really received the amount whether its your fault or their systems fault

[nwo99]

Just a question so I understand your case better:

Are your 10 btc still stuck where they were sent or did yobit take them out for themselves?

Coz the former implies negligence while the latter is straightforward theft.

Well maybe it would be better if you'll public your conversation with that. Screenshots or something, that people will see more proofs. Of course a lot of people know that Yobit is a sort of scam, but if they see that maybe it would be helpful for them( and for you of course).

That's really a bad story...10btc at a value of 12-13k each are a bad loss...now the value it's halved, i know, but you can still recover your bitcoin, and i can help you. I have a friend who used to work for Yobit, and maybe i can ask him to press for a resolution and if you're lucky in 1 week or a little more they will add the 10btc to your balance, otherwise the Btc are gone i think. Pm me your skype contact

[Vispilio]

Sorry about the unfortunate mistake and how it hurt you financially and psychologically gstant1, I hope you finally recover that money and / or at least

earn a greater amount from other crypto activities. How are you faring now, professionally and personally ?..

Your story is a huge cautionary tale, and contacting various news outlets (also mainstream ones) to make a story about you was a good idea,

such coverage might also motivate Yobit into taking swifter and more favorable actions towards you. Good Luck.

Hi I will create an email address and send it to you thank you.

With no disrespect intended for the guys running the site, that is why I did not include my original email, there is no real mission statement and the fact that the site is "FOR SALE" when it has just opened made me think twice, just being honest about that.

Sorry but I still wonder why you have still choosen yobit after all of its bad reviews and experiences.

I chose Yobit because I had been using them for a short time without any issues.  As I have said in the original post the initial fault/error is mine and mine alone, and not Yobits' fault however they have the ability to rectify my error and still make a profit, instead they are just keeping all of the BTC.

Just a question so I understand your case better:

What happened was when I deposited the BTC I sent it to a BCH or in Yobits case a BCC address, thinking it was my Bitcoin address but I had "Hide Zero Balances" checked so sent it to my BCC address when I had just woken up.   I realized my error straight away and contacted them, and more than 6 months later, here we are.

They have the ability to recover my funds and I have said please just send me 8 BTC instead of 10 but still they have not done anything except just under 2 months ago, they never actually replied verbally in writing to any of my many support tickets but included a green box which asked me how much BTC I would like from their "Insurance Fund" where I entered 8 BTC, that was nearly 2 months ago and still nothing since.

I did not include screenshots or TX ID for fear of someone else claiming that it was them who sent it and also for privacy. 
Yobit has all of the screenshots of the Transaction and the TX ID  but I could post a screenshot of all my support tickets to them, there is about 15 of them.

Hi, that would be a big help thanks, can I send you my email address, I don't use Skype sorry.  I can even provide your friend my account username if you like?  How long ago did he work there and what was his role?

Thanks again much appreciated.

Hi, thanks for your kind words.
How I can describe how this has affected me I could not put down in words, all I can do is keep trying for a fair resolution.  I will keep updating this post until I die, but I do not want that, I would rather Yobit just pays me 8 of the 10 BTC, then I will remove negative trust withdraw my funds and they will never hear from me again. 
I was going to contact news sites however since they sent me that "Insurance Fund" thing I thought I would wait and hold off doing so as this was the first positive and only reply from them which gave me some hope, a light at the end of the tunnel.

Unless they are just messing with me which is how it feels now because since they have sent the green insurance fund thing (see 1 or 2 pages back) I had some hope for the first time, now it has been nearly 2 months since that happened and my hope has again eroded, so yes to me they are also destroying me mentally as well as financially.

Be careful man of this newbie account he won't do anything for you and will further scam you for more money.
I have had similar scammers contact me for my own problem with yobit but luckily i didn't fall for it
Do NOT contact him!

Yes, you can pm me your email, skype was better just for a live chat. My friend has worked as a normal support, however Yobit doesn't scam, it has just a weird type of working. That's the point for getting your money back. However i can pubblicly say that I will give all my efforts to solve your case for a bounty of 1.5 btc(you proposed 2btc directly to the yobit support), and i will do that.

[nwo99]

I just want to let you know that I keep on telling your case on yobit chat.

I hope it will be fixed for you. sorry man

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I can't evaluate whether this effort is genuine or not, but I'd advise people to be very skeptical of this if there's not a clear indication of what they intend to do with your information.  Very skeptical and very careful.

It definitely looks like Yobit is scamming here.  I'm not sure how they can justify not sending someone POS interest and not responding to the person they did it to.  No respectable exchange would do that.  Hell, no respectable entity would do anything like that. 

Has anyone thought about consulting a lawyer?  I realize it could be expensive, but it's worth considering.  I don't think these scammers are ever going to stop doing this shit unless they suffer some consequences with more weight than just getting a negative trust on bitcointalk.  There are real people at Yobit who are stealing real people's money.  That's outrageous.  I'd read a lot of threads before about their shadiness, but what they did to nwo99 really opened my eyes.

[nwo99]

They are basically telling me we won't give you your coins and go fuck yourself

Great support ! Looks like yobit doesn't care about their reputation. But I think they really don't care about anything, except money. That's all what they need. People if won't lost your money don't use this "exchange".

Agree with you! be careful man with all this newbie and their "help". There are a lot of scammers. They try to steal your money. Usually they say that you need to pay 10,20,50$ dollars to support or something and after that they will help you. This is scammers. Don't send anything to them.

[Ribbitforum]

they are really scam, i lost a few amounts of BTC to that Exchange,, They always doing A Denomination for LIZA LIMBO LAMBO Coins.

Thanks for the advice I will not be contacting him.

I appreciate your help but I have also tried to reason with them in the shoutbox but was getting close to getting banned so i did not want to have my account banned and further compound the issue so I backed off and, well, still here, still no payment.
