Next time, you won't have to search for all those accusations, as you may find the compilation here!

A locked thread of "all scams" that doesn't include Yobit & multiple other scam exchanges is not a list of all scam exchanges.

Unlock it & complete it.

What do you really think I'm doing every 2-3 days? I'm trying to complete it ASAP by compiling the accusations of each exchange every 2-3 days, and you're no one to "order me" to do that. If you think that you can do it in a faster manner, then eff off and make your own thread.

Don't get me wrong, what you're doing is great work, it just looked a bit strange that you omitted probably the biggest & well known scam exchange while listing other exchanges with only one scam accusation against it - but I see that you have now added Yobit to it so fair play to you.
I have a list of other scam exchanges in my sig - feel free to check those ones out as well.

Sorry if I offended you, it was not my intention.

It's time to say goodbye to Hitbtc   

It is time for HitBtc to die, enough people lost enough money because of them.  I just hope that everyone will manage to withdraw their crypto .

Sadly they are getting huge numbers of complaints about the same thing as they are doing to you.

Their reputation is in tatters. Not long before the authorities shut them down or maybe they will run off with user funds with an exit strategy before that happens.

Indeed, HitBTC is plagued with complaints. However, all the exchanges that I have been using have also their own shares of complaints. I mean, which exchange is clean? I used to be a loyal user of Bittrex and Poloniex and cryptopia. They used to be excellent and then people began annoyed with them due to various problems. Cryptopia even died. And then I jumped into the bandwagon and opened a Binance account only to read news later on that several millions of USD have been hacked from them followed by the KYC leak.

Sometimes, I am confused where to deposit and do the trade because all of them are problematic in a way.

Right at this moment, we are the same, even one of the largest exchange like Binance has experienced hacking incidents. I felt no one ever safe exchange now where can we trust and deposit a huge amount. The good advice in here is don't leave a huge amount of crypto in any exchange wallet, it might put a risk on your fund.

I still remember in a year back of 2017 when I was new in trading at HitBTC exchange site. And this is the first trading exchange that I used at that time. So far, I never experience any difficulties and didn't face any troubles until I stopped and withdraw my fund earlier in the year of 2018. But now, I saw that HitBTC is plagued with complaints. So, my guess is better to stay away on this exchange.

yes, I also remember that. HitBTC used to be one of the recommended places to trade, it's just that now, there have been so many complaints that come, and most of it from withdrawing pending very long.

As far as I use HitBTC, I don't have any complaints other than the fee that is big enough for now. Well, I hope HitBTC can be like it used to be

Tremendous fee is the main reason why i leave this exchange.Its true that no exchange is 100% clean or safe from issues.Sooner or later there would be problems to pop out no matter how good the exchange is.The important thing is on how they do resolve it out and dont make the issue piled up and leave it unresolved.Lets take for example on how Binance is doing.

[JollyGood]

False. Many users report giving all the requested data and still not receiving their money.

Besides, the KYC/AML procedure is invoked for even the smallest of amounts, like $50. This is not a practice focused on security. It's simply scamming, stalling and as mentioned above, possibly even identity theft.

HitBTC has never even tried to prove the IDs/documents are secured and the KYC requests are in any meaningful way justified. It's clear from all the complaints that a lot of users were directly harmed by the exchange and its affiliates. HitBTC is an unscrupulous and shady exchange. Avoid it like a plague.

Security precautions taken by HitBTC in the verification process are designed to prevent international money laundering and fraudulent schemes, which is a common practice for a financial institution. Most traders have absolutely no trouble passing the KYC.

Why are the complaints piling up? Why were these complaints not happening a couple of years ago at this pace? HitBTC has only itself to blame for its demise and disastrous reputation.

It is a trend commonly used by exchanges to freeze accounts under the guise of false pretexts ("KYC", "unusual activity", "hack"... ) just to steal user funds or just to buy time so they can get the funds in place and then un-block the user account again.

Well, I was dealing with them in a cooperative way (business) and was quite amazed how much BTC they ask for simple technical tasks, even with that huge amount of competition in the field, where each and every single exchange should make the utmost and cooperate in best manner with the projects that are listed and/or offer to pay for a listing.

From a private stance I will anyway avoid using them for the ridiculous high fees.

Next please...

Right now, I am one of many people frowning upon the terribly high fees of HitBTC. It so happened that there were specific altcoins in the past which were listed on HitBTC with a not-so-bad volume which were not admitted on other good exchanges. During those days, it was already a huge achievement when a coin is listed on Bittrex and Poloniex. And we all know that getting admitted on those exchanges is as hard as getting admitted to Binance today. That's how I got into HitBTC, and in cryptopia, among others. Until now, I am still doing some small trades in HitBTC and for a few years already I've no serious complaint against them.

But, just the same, I am fully aware of complaints after complaints raised against the exchange. They need to resolve them as soon as possible or else, just like Yobit, their brand is going to be equated with scam/shady.

I advise everyone to stay away from this scam

[JollyGood]

Our exchange is among the oldest in existence and is operating since 2013. We have never lost a satoshi of our traders' funds - we have to take the risk of our security measures being temporarily uncomfortable, because safety, security, and integrity are our top priorities.

BS. I suggest you tell that to all the victims who's scam accusations you have ignored since day one:

Great post IconFirm 

After reading your post above the HitBTC user never bothered to post in this forum again. Maybe that is the last we have heard of them.

Their fees when decide to play good are ridiculous.

Their lack of customer services skills are pathetic.

All the evidence suggests they are selective scamming and deliberately delaying withdrawals as a ploy and of course blocking accounts using "KYC" and "investigations" as an excuse to scam

[qwerty6274]

Many people forecast it is not long before HitBTC and Tradesatoshi steal on mass and shut down.

Oh, people forecast this?? Must be some really special people who read the future like an open book. If some people don't receive the money they should keep on contacting the support team.

Oh! Its good that your forum account is active once again and try to make some read back and point out which is the common issue among users.

On my side,my primary problem wayback is your fixed high fee for withdrawal.It havent changed since 2 years ago which i do believe this thing does contribute why
lots of users leave out this platform.

This is ridiculous they are not doing any thing about fees issues I am also feeling they need to think about this because now competition is very tough and many good exchanges around with very good fees and better support if they want to stay in they must do some good changes for customers.
