Can you imagine what they're doing with your money? If you can imagine it, it's probably happening.
I've had it with these fraudsters. They've stolen over $10,000 from me. Don't let it happen to you.

Hopefully the situation with exchanges improves soon. There are so many stories of scams and difficulty exchanging currencies and etc. currently. I'm really wanting to get into cryptocurrency but it seems like a pretty huge leap of faith to give some of these exchanges anything.

I have read several such posts...yet, I just had wired 1000euros and in 6 days al was verified and everything is working a-okay. Just bought BTC and LTC...haven't cashed out yet.
So...maybe the system has just flaws? I've also read a lot of stories like mine, where everything seems to be just OKAY.
Sooo....I don't know what to make of it.

Tschai - have you attempted to make any withdrawals? There are plenty of accounts of people trying to withdraw and their troubles start there. Please let us know, if you get a chance

Did you use the payment reference they requested? Just wondering if it's a system error or premeditated theft.
They got me for £1500 too.

I have sent many SEPA's to btc-e, and it works flawlessly. Their customer service also works OK, had to contact them as they increased the requirements for identification for withdrawals.

Why would you do that though? You should only be exchanging in BTC or some other currency, not USD. Just cash out with USD, but never invest any, unless it's a small amount

Why would I use USD? Would things have been any different if I'd had my (American) bank transfer Euros? It's done, so that sounds like a rhetorical cheap shot on your part, but perhaps I misunderstand you. If you've had a good experience with a similar sequence of events, then by all means post about it, and try to recover some trust for BTC-e's fast-sinking reputation. Maybe you're asking why I would send money to a (purportedly) reputable exchange in order to exchange that money for cryptocurrency? Why would I use a business for its intended purpose? Why would I then post about how I and many others now suspect them to be shady, in order that still others may avoid our fate? Sorry, I've no clue what your actual question might be. I doubt you have one. More questions about incompetence and/or outright fraud by BTC-e: http://www.coindesk.com/btc-e-exchange-banking-issues/- Findiggle.
