How do you people end up with such exchanges?

Chances of getting scammed or such platforms exit scamming are pretty high. It's my first time hearing about it.

WARNING - ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS ISSUE ?

After months of trading I suddenly found the account inoperable and unable to dump a shit token that was nosediving before it was delisted.
Someone complained about them last year

However, on 23rd June it got listed on Biki exchange and all the early supporters who sent their token to Biki exchange had their accounts FROZEN.
On contacting the Biki team, they were asked to send series of documents despite being KYC verified, which were sent and yet the accounts remained frozen on the grounds their tokens (from bounty, airdrop and exchanges) which they have been using to buy goods on the platform all this years while were from ex-employees of the project (according to Peter); does this really make sense?

I would suggest you avoid using the exchange in the future.

It looks to me they suspect your account to be compromised, and want to re-confirm who you are.
Altho a hassle, it's a standard procedure.

Some services I used i had to re-KYC 3-4 times in the past few months, before while traveling for work, i was logging in from different countries.
Your IP might have just been flagged before by a different user, who knows

Thanks for your reply,

The account has no security issues or failed login attempts.

The IP issue I also suspect caused this to an extent because I use an OPEN VPN to hide my IP and prevent hacking or man in middle attacks.
Lots of people do or should for this reason trading crypto. If the IP issue tripped s flag, then any logical person could figure many email accounts
would also use the same IP from a free VPN business and that should not force blocks on everything when they already have my KYC submitted and accepted.

WARNING - ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS ISSUE ?

After months of trading I suddenly found the account inoperable and unable to dump a shit token that was nosediving before it was delisted.

I lost my money which i placed 30% of my equity on and then found i could not trade or withdraw anything.
This seems obvious a scam to hijack my account equity and make it impossible to unlock.

I am a sole trader and have not registered anything "batch" and the exchange won't explain how I have attained this untruthful status.'

Now i find after already submitting KYC and it being accepted I have to do the following to get my money back.


FROM SUPPORT PAGE

"Accounts that are detected by our system with the following reasons may be temporarily or permanently banned. If your account is frozen (or "locked") due to these reasons, you may follow the steps below to appeal to unlock your account".

. Batch Registration

The system will automatically detect and freeze maliciously registered accounts. Please submit an appeal by email to: [email protected] with the following information and we will process within 1-3 working days and reply by system message.

Send a short video according to the required format here:
(the video should show you holding your ID and dictate in this format: I, (full name), confirmed that UID: XXXXXXX was owned and operated by myself on (date: YYYY/MM/DD). I am aware and willing to undertake the risk involved in the trading of digital assets)
Your account UID
Reason for batch registration
Complete KYC for your account


Its been past the three day mark and no-reply or unlock of my funds have occurred.

Anyone else - Be Warned - I have never had such a blatant money grab happen to me from an exchange before and am really pissed now.   Grin Grin
