i advice everybody to report them to sec.gov  .
stop these scammers

Sad truth

Sec doesn't scare about scammers scamming people. They go after exchanges that have legitimate volumes and are not scamming people but want to"regulate" (control) them. If sec really cared about people's welfare, proven scam services like Hitbtc, 1xbit/1xbet, freewallet etc. would be the first to be sanctioned and have their domains seized.

HitBTC does not serve US customers, according to web archives from 2019^[1]. But they haven't enforced mandatory KYC during registration for customers (this is their dirty trick to confiscate user funds).

In general, you do not need to pass a verification procedure to start trading via the HitBTC app – your deposits will not be limited in any way.

If you report today you must bring proof of serious violations, for example you caught them serving US customers. Based on the laxity of KYC, this kind of violation is possible.

This was my last post in the thread in May 2021 and it was a warning about HitBTC. I return to this thread after a long period of absence and I find that not a single member has anything positive to say about them. Are the complaints against them being taken seriously and have HitBTC decided to engage with customer complaints in an acceptable manner?

By the way, how did they address the allegations about them locking Dogecoin withdrawals in order to make more money for themselves?

All users are advised to stay away from HitBTC, they still have not been able to move on from the scam allegations.

I don't think they even care anymore about their reputation. They are like yobit, or they are the 1xbit of crypto exchanges 
People will complain the hell about them and they aren't even moved. The users whose Dogecoins were locked up in the exchange with no way to withdraw them are still complaining to this date

People decide to dump the Dogecoins for other withdrawable assets, so the price in the exchange shows that Dogecoins price there is almost 10 times lower than the current market price. A nice way for the scam exchange to make profits through arbitraging.

I don't really know if this exchange is a scam, it's a small exchange, but an old one.

ANYWAY: the website has been blocked for EU countrie for 7 days now and I have no news of the situation (just email asking me to wait without any technical explanations).
So... If you want to live dangerously and are ready to see your money kept behind a wall (or already spent in the streets of Santiago), then this website is for you

Personnaly I wasn't ready, and I still am not !

If you read a couple of post on this thread or even the trust rating of this exchange on the first page. You'll see how negative they are. There are a lot of negative feed backs that they've received and complaints that are still kept coming. I checked their website and saw 600+ online people and that's not a lot knowing that this exchange has been there for so long. I guess threads that are against them and accusations about them have helped people but still there are a couple of hundred people that uses them.

I have to agree, with such a length of time passed and they have never really made any sincere effort to address what seem in some cases to be genuine concerns/claims it can be presumed they gave up on trying to save and protect their reputation a long time ago. If things do not change they really could start falling further in to the Yobit category level.

There is no mention of the EU, the message on their website states:

Why have I been blocked? HitBTC is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. The action you just performed triggered the security solution. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.

Hm. I don't see any warning notice when coming from EU IPs though but if the block is imposed by hitbtc, it's likely just another reason for them to justify holding your funds hostage.

There's also a good chance, you'll get the typical never-ending verification requests after. It's part of the scheme so I'd advise against it to prevent further loss. No matter which crypto community you go to, be it bitcointalk, reddit, or other platforms, the general consensus is it's a shady af.
