Another method used by Yobit to scam users which is Yobit Virtual Miner. It's something ambiguis that hasn't any valid description on how this cal be made. From what i can understand, a user has to buy a virtual miner with his btc to mine an unknown token within the exchange itself.
I made a topic discussing this scam technique which can be added to op list here: Virtual Miner: Another scam offer from Yobit.

Thanks Suchmoon who suggested this thread :

Can we please stop promoting all that Yobit shit here. I mean this thread is not even in Scam Accusations where it most definitely belongs, and creating a new one every time Yobit sends out their scam e-mails sounds a bit counterproductive to me. Instead let's bump one of the existing threads maybe once in a while and make sure not to link to any of their scam tokens or their website at all.

That's almost exactly what I wrote in another thread about Yobit's new scheme:

All of this shit basically comes down to Yobit wanting you to put your money into a black box and wait for a profit to come out the other end.  If anyone can explain how this virtual miner can legitimately make any investor money, I'd love to hear an explanation, because what I just read in the OP sounded like some magical voodoo witchcraft moneymaking process that was dreamed up by minds that would put Enron's executives to shame.

And this is pretty much exactly the same crap that every "HYIP" or Ponzi puts forth: give us your money, we'll do something with it that you don't need to understand, and then we'll send you your profit. 

I'm not sure if Yobit is moving toward an exit scam, but based on some of the new features they've been offering (like the Investbox), they're definitely becoming more shady.  If we knew anything about Yobit, i.e., where they're located, who owns it, etc., then people might have more faith in them, but they don't offer that information--and because they don't, that could be interpreted as them paving a clear path toward an exit scam.

Maybe they don't need to exit, if by exit scam you mean taking all their hot&cold wallets and disappearing. Obviously I don't know their exact numbers but I wouldn't be surprised if running a few dozen of these investbox scams is better "business" for them than running.  They certainly don't care about their reputation. Maybe they still list some shitcoins that are not listed elsewhere so they have some captive audience.

They have basically turned into a gambling site. Scammy, shitty gambling site with unknown odds, not provably fair, but very fitting for the whole shitcoin/craptoken ecosystem, to which the blockchain and everything that comes with it is just a tool to exploit greed and stupidity. Yobit cut the blockchain out of it since they already have a website full of idiots who trust centralized custodial wallets and probably wouldn't want to run their own nodes anyway.

So final answer? If I deposit say $100 to buy some bitcoin will i be getting said bitcoin or kissing the $100 goodbye? ty

[JollyGood]

Could you explain a little bit more about your experiences with Yobit? It would be good to understand what happened in your circumstances.

[viparmenian]

Do anybody have legal adress of Yobit to start the actions with lawer?

[JollyGood]

The last time I checked their Terms and Conditions did not list any company details. They are hiding behind anonymity.

[Myleschetty]

The last time I checked their Terms and Conditions did not list any company details. They are hiding behind anonymity.

But googling the site name hope there will be a legal address as viparmenian said and I find out that the exchange CEO was once arrested which implies that there could be a chance to start legal action against the site or is there something I am missing. Besides, their domain owner could also have some hints about the address.

Domain is one of the way we are going to use to identify the yobit legal address, but currently they use Protection Service of REG.RU from Russia in Moscow to hide the Address.

[JollyGood]

Let us all hope more people search online for Yobit reviews before they deposit any money at their website because in the end they will end up losing it all.

Some of us are completely surprised how Yobit is still operating and has not been shut down by multiple law enforcement agencies.

I have an account at yobit in 2017, in 2018 I once made a DOGE deposit there, more than 2 million doge from Indodax Exchanger.

This is proof of my deposit there
txid: 31228a13f5775154f003ce2aa8918001188e009ab8c802858b7608f7fc33ae7b

At Yobit Exchange there was an investbox offer that made me interested in making a deposit there, after my deposit entered my DOGE into their investbox, at that time I was doing a periodic login there, everything was fine, after that I never logged in again.

in 2021 i remember that on yobit i have an account , when i try to open it they reject my 2fa authenticator , the system refuses with the reason my 2fa is wrong.

I asked them about this, I want to try resetting 2fa, their reason is that this facility is no longer available, resetting 2fa can't be done, I've never reset 2fa so far and I'm restricted to login.

I've had many conversations through tickets only given the same answer without a solution.

Reset 2fa is limited, login using 2fa is rejected, does this include fraud from Yobit Exchanger.

In this discussion is a proof of Yobit Exchanger SCAM or not.

My 2fa status is active and I never change it.

If it's true that Yobit Exchanger is not a SCAM exchange, please prove it to me, open my account, don't freeze my account.

Below is my account name
Nickname : HL12301

I have contacted Yobit Support many times, but their service is very slow.

If you are proven innocent, open my account, if you don't do that it is proven that you have committed fraud against users' accounts.

this is where all will be answered, I am really waiting for your answer YOBIT EXCHANGER.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

If you are proven innocent, open my account, if you don't do that it is proven that you have committed fraud against users' accounts.

Ugh, that's horrible.  As an aside, I didn't think that investbox function was available back in 2018--or did you use the doge for that sometime later? 

Anyway, if you're challenging Yobit to prove their integrity you can forget about it.  They don't respond to any of the scam accusation threads here, even though they have an account on the forum.  It's beyond me why they can't help you log into your account if you have all of your information.  It could very well be that they want to steal your funds or it could just be their notoriously shitty customer service.

OP, keep at it with them and don't give up.  It sounds like there's a lot of money at stake here.  Also, please update this thread if you do end up resolving your issue, because I'm sure the community would like to know the outcome. 

This is yet another example of why you don't want to leave your coins on an exchange, especially not for years.  OP, I'm sure you've learned that the hard way, but newbies should take notice and not make the same mistake.

[Lucius]

dogedoge737, i have had an account on that crypto exchange for at least 5 years because I used to be in their signature campaign a long time ago, and only 2FA I had was the one through email, which still works today without any problems.

As far as I can see there is an option to disable 2FA, have you maybe tried that?

2FA Disable Request

[Charles-Tim]

@dogedoge737, so sorry for your loss, let us hope you will still get back your funds. But know that yobit is an exchange, yobit has shaddy ways that can make people to lose their funds with too many shit coins it has that are not even listed on platforms like Coinmarketcap and Coingecko, but this is not the issue now, the issue is that you can not login. Supposing you are using noncustodial wallet and you have your seed phrase protected, it will be easy for you to get access to your doge. This is not only about yobit, but also any other centralized wallet or exchanges, you should not use them to hold, custodial platforms will tell you that you are in control, but unknowing to you that they have the full control, and they are able to overide you because they have the private key. Not your key, not your coin. Do not leave your cryptocurrencies  on exchanges.

Let us hope you will recover back your funds, but if you do not, the funds are with yobit, and yobit have the capability of making use of it.

Yobit continues to list sexcoin drawing in unsuspecting investors who then can't withdraw.

I'll add the little I know - the sexcoin blockchain forked (at Yobit's end), or, their withdrawl function just doesn't work.  Either way investors and day traders of sexcoin lost out trading on Yobit which their Forum profile Yobit has known since 2016-01-08, 19:39:41 and has chosen not to deal with much less rectify.

[DaveF]

Yobit continues to list sexcoin tons of coins drawing in unsuspecting investors who then can't withdraw.

Fixed your post a bit 
There are at least 25 coins that you can deposit at least occasionally but can never withdraw.
There are coins that at times, deposits & withdraws are opened but they never actually send or credit the coins.

Sadly there are people who should know better who get burned by this.
