my problem with hotbit exchange

[ChrisPop]

Personally I haven't used the hotbit exchange, not even heard of it, but it is probably one of those shady
 exchanges that one should not even use. I guess this is the risk you're taking when holding crypto on platforms. Be aware that there is no regulation that limits these exchanges so act accordingly.

I think it's better you open up a thread in scam accusations if you think your money is being duped. Try to get some proofs of your balance and how the customer care reacted to your problem. Atleast others can stay far away from such shady exchanges. While about you I don't think there is much you can do to get your money back.

Please Take care of this nice offer guys, seems suspicious for me. With a little nice story and some reasons to sell his BTC which is a big amount of money If you sell it. Don't engage in something with this guy, he is just making you take his bait.
OP, You can contact their support on what to do, If you are truthful and explain it to them how did you get those BTC.

It is suspicious that you suddenly want to sell your account for a decent amount of Bitcoin because I am guessing that there will be no one that will be interested with your offer, people would mainly be too cautious regarding your amount I don't know about Hotbit because I am not using their services, But regarding that you are now selling your account because you can not fix this kind of problem, many people will be too suspicious in what you really want,

I guess you need to provide much proof that you really want our help and if you are the real owner of this account and a screenshot of the balance.

Although I have not used Hotbit exchange but I never heard any withdrawal problem with that exchange. Most likely you may have some problem with your account. I also have doubt of you having proper conversation with their customer support as it seems English is not your first language and you are not properly able to express yourself. If possible try to find the exact reason from them and provide the formalities they need. I don't think they will stop you from withdrawing your funds.

[bassbity]

Is there any evidence of images of frozen funds being held at Hotbit? I am suspicious of your offer, do you want to cheat us or is there an error in the existing account. so it's clearer to send evidence here.

I am not sure if I would believe you trying to sell your account here. Or maybe you are not verified yet that's why you need some additional information for them to have a proof that that's the account you're trying to withdraw is really yours. Wait until they reply soon because once that it is really your account then there will be no hard time for you to encash it because you know private keys or any verifications.

I have no idea either you really face this problem or just trying to scam people by offering that account. Newbie accounts are always suspicious!
But I would suggest you to wait their response for your case. There are some people has reported that hotbit has fake volumes or wash trading but doesn't mean they will steal user's money. Try to raise your ticket again and again until they responds you, but don't spam it.

I read similar stories like this talking about the difficulties of withdrawing from a certain exchange or platform and then offering the same account with a certain amount of coin for a lower price as if putting it up for a big sale discount. I am not here to judge OP's intention but saying that one can have "0.53  for 0.20" that can be raising the red flag. Plus the account is a Newbie, definitely something wrong with the post. Though I would be happy to be wrong on this.

The only best way for you to withdraw your funds is by contacting the exchange platform's support service for help. There is nothing anybody here can do to help you withdraw your bitcoin. We are not part of the technical team managing this exchange platform. You should have a little patient for their support service to reply your message...

Same like how this post looks scam, better put our money in know exchanges that have proper rules and regulations as well easy to contact support. We can put our investment in BNB or other trusted exchange and do KYC than to be scam, or if it's real that OP can't withdraw his money. It's beeter to research first before putting any amount in it.

[diahsw]

That usually happens, I just completed verification by exchanging coinbit too, but it's just a matter of verification, after I sent them an email and asked directly, it turns out it's just a matter of verification. well for your problem, try contacting the customer service, and tell me your problem, surely they will help you ..

[danherbias07]

This is the first time I heard this kind of problem but it looks like a scam.
Why input a statement that says you are also trying to sell that account? You are going to sell it at half price and give the problem to another person?
That is BS!!! Get away from this, the sound of is very fishy and this might just be another way of scamming people.

Tell us more information then maybe we could help. But as of now it aint really a problem but more like a scam.

[Nhor1011]

I also used this exchange and i did not encounter any problem regarding deposit and withdrawal but only small amount. You just need to enable your 2fa authentication if you are not verified yet. The only thing i don't like in Hotbit,they are not true with the price,i think they manipulated the price so that every trader see that there are so much buyer ans seller on their exchange. But try to put an order near the sell and buy order then suddenly the trading will stop. Hotbit is not a good exchange.

Let's put that aside and assume that OP has a real problem with hotbit. I tried to search official announcement thread of hotbit but I can't find them, maybe I missed something but if there is an announcement thread or hotbit official account here then OP should contact them as well to help this out from his problem.

Also, a little suggestion. We should be always aware of this kind of exchange, exchange that has been red flagged several times and no solution has been found for previous problems should be avoided.

Yup, another newbie that pretending to be scammed and trying to look pity. I have seen new threads made by newbies and the stories were all the same. Nice try.

While on the other hand, he has no proof to show, at least. Like the email sent or their conversation with the support.

Sorry to say OP, but no one here will buy your account and besides wha could we do to your account when the funds are frozen.

Cannot log in this exchange today.  I gave correct credentials and icon drags and Google authenticator.  First it wasn't interactive at all, then it logged me out.

What's going on with Hotbit

Withdrawal email verification codes are NOT being sent out (with any browser)

hence, no way to withdraw anything right now

no updates on their official twitter
