platform verification request m.bitmartst.com

[Mavic871]

Hello,
sorry for the language, but the post is being translated because my English is poor.

Have any of you had experience with m.bitmartst.com? I suspect this is a scam. I deposited funds there, approximately USD 3.7k. I traded and managed to earn something. The problem occurred when placing a withdrawal order. I didn't pass the verification because one photo was illegible and the customer service wants me to pay a deposit of USD 1,000 as security (it will apparently be returned after 7 days) + a photo of my ID. Only after I pay it will I be able to withdraw the funds in my account.
Can anyone tell me if they have used this platform? is this a normal procedure?  Or i can say goodbye to the money in my account  now.

it's a scam, the fact that they are asking you to deposit $1k just for your withdrawal to be approved is a huge redflag. this isn't the first time I've seen posts like this where people deposit on a suspicious-looking website then when they withdraw the "customer support" asks them to deposit a certain amount of money as a "fee".

Or i can say goodbye to the money in my account  now.

sadly yes, these people have no plan of ever giving your money back, the $1k deposit they are asking you so your withdrawal can be approved is just another way of them trying to milk money out of you.

btw, how did you even find this website?

If you have deposited about $3,700 and achieved gains, your balance must be higher than 1k, which means that they can deduct it from your balance instead of asking you to deposit more. They are scammers.
Avoid depositing any large amounts to an unknown service and withdraw your profits first, as it is difficult to trust this service with about $100, let alone $3,700+$1000.

The domain registration data^[1] indicates a service that was created only about 3 months ago.

I now have USD 14,000 in my account. I asked about blocking the deposit from current funds. I heard that they cannot use my funds in the account. I can't withdraw anything now. Is there any way to get back the money paid? Is it better to reconcile and let go?

Is it better to leave it alone with pseudo agencies on Telegram who are able to recover funds? When I was looking for information about m.bitmartst, I found posts where people swam and someone helped them. But this is even more suspicious to me than the whole site😅

when I found the website - I'm ashamed to admit it, but it was recommended to me by a person I had never seen... only when problems appeared did I start to analyze it calmly and began to suspect fraud.

HB has raised a good suggestion. Let them take the 1k from your balance and give you the rest but I know there's no way they're going to agree to this because the whole thing is a scam. I guess the person who introduced you to the platform is someone you met online. I've seen this before and in most cases he or she is part of the scam. My advice is that you forget about the funds, learn your lessons and move on. Next time, avoid investing on any platform without DYOR.

I have to stop reading when they've already not allowing you withdraw and then asks for a security deposit. They're a scam if they do that and these scams will continue to exist. I think that I've heard of bitmart but not with the one that you've mentioned and you're probably even accessing them through a mobile. Obviously, that's not a normal procedure if the platform is legitimate, they can ask for more verification but not with a security deposit.

Sadly, they are scammers and they are unlikely to return your funds so it's best to move on. That amount that's being projected on your account is not for real except your actual deposit. And please, don't get another scam of trying to say that they can help you recover that funds somewhere in telegram, please don't be a victim of it as well.

You already lost $3.7k, you certainly don't want to lose more. Those are the worst kind of scammers who target people like you because they know you are too vulnerable and will do anything in the hope of recovering the money you lost.

I'm sure it's a girl you met on a dating website or platform who recommended you this fake website. It's well know tactic known as romance scam. Sorry for your loss.

You are right, it is a scam.

I didn't pass the verification because one photo was illegible and the customer service wants me to pay a deposit of USD 1,000 as security (it will apparently be returned after 7 days) + a photo of my ID. Only after I pay it will I be able to withdraw the funds in my account.

If you send them what they want, they will come up with another excuse. The website looks like it was built by a 13 year old.

Can anyone tell me if they have used this platform? is this a normal procedure? 

No, it's not normal procedure.

Or i can say goodbye to the money in my account  now.

Yes, just say bye bye to it and don't send them any more money.

You don't "have" anything in your account. That's just a fake balance on their database. Contact your bank. Explain the situation and see if they can help you reverse the deposit or place a hold on the funds. Report bitmartst(.)com as a scam and  cut your losses.  Trying to recover funds through these fake agencies will likely just lead to more money lost.  Instead, focus on legitimate channels for reporting the scam to relevant authorities.

Don't trust anything that comes from random people on Telegram, even when it's from someone you trust, you should check it with multiple sources.  These "agencies" offering help are likely preying on your desperation. It's just another form of scam.

That's how they operate. These scammers often target people through seemingly trustworthy recommendations, preying on the fact that you might let your guard down a bit. They use fake profiles or even hijack the accounts of people to appear more legitimate.  Don't feel ashamed - it happens to many. What matters now is to learn from experience so that you don't repeat the same mistake.

How did you deposit? If you deposited using Bitcoin or any other altcoin, your chance of getting your money back is slim. Post the tx ID and we will try to track the transaction. If the laws in your country are cryptocurrencies friendly, you may be able to get your money back after the police contact the exchange (if the scammer used echange).

If you deposited via bank transfer or any reversible payment method, your chances are better. Contact the support team and tell them that you have been scammed.

A site that was created three months ago but claims to be the real name of the Bitmart exchange. OP, you own a rather impressive amount and know how to trade, but you don’t see the errors in the interfaces. In fact, there are many scam sites on the Internet that pretend to be other exchanges, and it is very imprudent to simply trust the opinion or words of a stranger on the Internet.
It was quite an expensive lesson. I regret. Every time, I am convinced that trading is not for everyone.

I transferred the money via crypto.com. I contacted their support and they said they were unable to recover the funds. only the recipient can send back the given amount...
This is erc20, where i sent money: 0x26a11756B74193e39A27918995F4Bc587Fc76DEE
 they recommended that I go to the police to report the fraud, but somehow I don't believe that the police would do anything about cryptocurrencies in Great Britain....

I don't want to raise any false hopes, but the following platforms could help with tracking and intercepting their activities ^{[with the help of exchanges]}:
