[pieter123]

And yes, you are right I should have check better this website, but a friend had a coin listed there, I wanted to support him, bought some of these coins and did also some other trading, and well you know how it ended.

hello Suzanne,
To show that my account is locked I could add some images on this forum only right now I have the status of newbie and this not allows me to post images.  I can do this later when I have the status of Junior Member.

you can use the screenpic app to take a screenshot. Then paste the link here. As I did above.

Ok, lets try, see if it works

almost nothing is visible on your screenshot

pff.. I think if you know Altmarkets and you see the printscreens you can recognize and read and see that I have there 0.4 BTC pending. But ok, the more important thing is; how do we get our money back!

So how can we find this wheeler? is there some whiz kid who can track him? and open my account?
In my account I have about 0.4 BTC and about 400K Doge but probably much more Doge because in that time I was trading with mlns of Doge.
In 2019 it was about 3k euro but now this will be more than 40K euro? Maybe somebody is interesing to help and get a %?

If you like I can copy some of the conversation here at the forum, it is enjoyable to read.

Please do so and place them inside the open/close code tags from the above toolbar ^{[in the 2nd row, it's the 3rd one from right]}.

I had to zoom in up to 300% just to be able to read it and you're right ^{[all three are pending with the last one being in the rejected state]}.

how do we get our money back!

Honestly, I don't think you have a realistic chance of recovering those funds or finding someone that could open your account but maybe a company like "Chainalysis" could come in handy...
^{- Having said that, I'm not sure if they'll entertain individuals but it's worth a shot.}

[pieter123]

Hello,
I think you are right, the change to get my funds back are not that big, but in the time that my account was locket the BTC was about 6K now it is almost 50K, so wait for some time and it will be really interesting to find this Wheeler .

[pieter123]

On your advice I did also a request at "Chainalysis", wondering if they give a reply.

please keep us informed

This exchange should not be listing ETH as its first funding currency (eg here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5101680.0).

ETH withdrawals have been disabled for weeks.  Vague "market" reasons given.  There are no remotely liquid ETH markets on either its v1 or v2 sites.

How will you return the ETH? Make it something I can tweet positively about dude.

I also got scammed by this exchange, 0.17 BTC pending withdrawal for 6 months now.

is anyone in here doing something to get this AH's?

I'm sorry to hear that... The only person who has tried to track them from this thread was @pieter123 but for some reason, he didn't post any updates and that was also the last time he logged into his account.

What I saw is that the AltMarkets Exchange accounts on social media have become deserted, as their last updates were from 2021 to 2022. It is worth noting that you were not the only one who lost his BTC in this unknown scam exchange, as there was a recent review dated December 2023 by one of the customers on Trustpilot stating that they scammed him for 0.2 BTC and banned him from Discord when he complained. Your loss saddened me, and I hope you do enough research the next time you use any exchange platform, as these are the most reputable and well-known platforms in the market, making them safe options for you.

i remember using this exchange back then in 2020 - 2021, never had any issues, should have made a little research before using it again, i still see some token buy/sell orders inside, so probably there still are ppl who havent realized they've been scammed.
hopefully someone could track them down.

They are probably selectively scamming, so some people haven't realized yet. Sorry for your loss.
I am going to tag and try to flag their forum account. Hopefully this deters some users from using the scam exchange after seeing the warning banner once they visit their forum threads.

Edit:

This is the flag which was created against the profile sometime back. Please support — https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=2581

Done!

Hello, Is good to see some activity in the chat again. Unfortunately to see that Altmarkets is still able to scam people. I did several actions for helping me to find these Altmarket scammers. Most replies I got were like, "Thanks for your request, we will .." and no further action. Also not from https://www.chainalysis.com. I'm still hoping somebody post in this chat a brilliant idea how to get our crypto back. But also please post if you have been scammed, the bigger the group the stronger we can be.

[knatseb]

Looks like exit scam is finished
