BestChange May Be Shielding Scam Exchangers – $130,000 Lost

[WARNING] BestChange May Be Shielding Scam Exchangers – $130,000 Lost via CoinCraddle

There are growing concerns in the crypto community about the credibility of BestChange, one of the most popular exchanger aggregators in the Russian-speaking crypto market.

  Users are reporting that BestChange is turning a blind eye to fraudulent exchange services listed on its platform. Numerous cases suggest that negative reviews about certain exchangers are being deleted, and BestChange support often sides with the exchangers during disputes — even when clients present clear evidence of wrongdoing.

One of the most alarming incidents involves the exchanger CoinCraddle, which was listed on BestChange with an impeccable reputation — hundreds of positive reviews and zero negatives.

A user reported losing over $130,000 after using CoinCraddle to convert USD to Monero (XMR). After receiving the funds, CoinCraddle froze the transaction citing an AML check and has not returned the funds even after more than a month. Attempts to resolve the situation through BestChange were unsuccessful.

This case prompted further investigation from both journalists and community members, raising critical questions:

• How are such exchangers able to maintain perfect ratings on BestChange?
• Why are complaints and warnings from users being ignored or removed?
• Could BestChange have a financial or structural interest in some of the listed exchangers?

Several other exchangers — including Prostovcash, GetBit, and Coinumm — are also being scrutinized, with users alleging similar patterns: attractive rates, sudden freezes or non-delivery of funds, and no meaningful response from BestChange.

If these allegations are substantiated, this could indicate a systemic issue, where BestChange is not just a passive directory but potentially complicit in enabling fraudulent activity.

  Community members are encouraged to share their own experiences and help build a clearer picture of the situation. Transparency is key to protecting users across the ecosystem.

Accusations, especially this big, should be presented with evidence(detailed if possible) backing up the claims, otherwise, this post of yours will be just seen as baseless babbling and will not be taken seriously.

I am not trying to defend BestChange or anything, it's just how this forum works.

he didn't becasue he just copied what gpt told him.
i'm not even gonna bother post the reports from AI detectors, as the broken emojis :warning: :speech_balloon: and the — are a dead giveaway.

i'm not defending BestChange or something like that, but come on man, if you are going to open a scam accusation, do it the right way.
not that i think you are gonna get anything out of it, since your problem is not with BestChange but with ImExchanger who are holding your 100 XMR hostage.

the problem is no only with my stollen 30k it is massive scale of AML scam under Bestchange stading behind it.

What do you mean with this AML scam?
Are they giving fake AML score for their AML rating service, or something else?
They are not asking for AML verification directly, but they are working with bunch of third party exchanges that are doing that.
We already know they are covering up for partner exchanges and they are twisting feedback to hide anything negative.

[coupable]

I can't verify all of these accusations since they are published in Russian. I hope these accusations are confirmed by Russian users, as I believe the case is very important and could be the most dangerous of all if it is proven that scammers are operating under the umbrella of BestChange. I don't know any of the names of these platforms, and I don't recall ever seeing one of them active on this forum or advertising anywhere. Therefore, if these allegations are proven, BestChange will find itself in an embarrassing situation, and the likelihood of their involvement in the scam scheme as a whole will increase.

It's unfortunate that one of the most successful brands has become a vehicle for fraudulent schemes after having built a solid reputation over years of work and integrity. I was one of the participants in BestChange's signature campaign for months, which means I contributed to spreading a positive image of the service. I don't bear direct responsibility, but I am sorry that things have come to this.

in addition to My 100 XMR (30k usdt) stolen scam from here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5523844.0

i am not tallking about many many small scams under 5k they did, there is closed chat on telegram where people cooperate in order to discuss what to do with bestchange scam

100 XMR?? Why did you exchange so much Monero at once?

You could've at least used one of the exchanges that don't ask for KYC.

Perhaps he means that exchangers do not return money after the user sends funds to the exchanger, explaining that he must send them his documents since their AML check shows fraudulent actions with the sent funds. I have seen several complaints from such users on the aggregator. But I can say that when exchanging, each participant must agree to the terms that their funds will be checked, which they confirm by checking the box on the site. In addition, the aggregator has a service for checking funds for a symbolic price, after which the sender can make sure whether it is worth exchanging here or not. Why users do not use it is unclear.
