So, I discovered a new exchange because I need to get my hands on some XRB, and the logs I'll be pasting below are from the admin.
I haven't participated in the chat, yet, but I find this behavior very unprofessional and shady.
And, of course, I got banned from their chat after posting. (You can see my posts with blue color below)
IIKHIKMATULLOH: bitgrail scam or no?
[TG] ANTHONYGOZZINI: Give me a reason not to ban you from the chat (why, because a user asked if the exchange is legit or a scam?)
[TG] ANTHONYGOZZINI: IikHikmatulloh I am waiting
[TG] ANTHONYGOZZINI: If you deposited less than 100, you have lost them, otherwise just wait
[TG] ANTHONYGOZZINI: And learn to read the warning next to the deposit section
[TG] ANTHONYGOZZINI: Place a sell order
[TG] ANTHONYGOZZINI: Dexiel08 just be patient
[TG] ANTHONYGOZZINI: What are you scared of? (
this guy is serious.)
DEXIEL08: i generate my deposit address then its say its aldready pocket but here nothing mria
DEXIEL08: it didnt pocket
DEXIEL08: in my wallet
[TG] ANTHONYGOZZINI: How long did you wait?
[TG]: I have 195 XRB on my deposit, but when I try to place a sales order, it's not enough XRB, why is it so?
[TG] ANTHONYGOZZINI:
Turn off Google translate (
um, let's assume he'll understand his customer better if he turns off G.T)
DEXIEL08: anthony its 10mins now
[TG] ANTHONYGOZZINI: And?
is it too long for you? (
wait, you're serious, for real.)
[TG] ANTHONYGOZZINI: Then go here and read:
https://bitgrail.com/deposit/XRB[TG] ANTHONYGOZZINI:
Continue and I ban you (
what the actual f?!)
DEXIEL08: sorry. thanks.. (
poor guy, lol)
There's been even weirder logs, just didn't want to post anything, thought the guy had a bad day, the day I registered, but this happens constantly whenever I check the chat.
I've been a member of their site for like 3 days, and I seriously can't understand what's wrong with that guy. He's very aggressive towards people who ask about site's legitimacy.
I don't deposit more than 0.1 btc per buy I want to do, because of stuff mentioned above.
Just a heads up. No hot wallet is a safe wallet, no matter what anyone claims.
DYOR
thanks for your time, and stay safe

lol,
USER-5766: Hey, ANTHONYGOZZINI. Can I really trust you with my hard earned funds?
USER-5766: I mean by depositing on your exchange
[TG] GREGORST: 5766 why you are asking this?
[TG] GREGORST: We have lot users and we don't need to prove our trust
[TG] GREGORST: 21.78893954 btc exchanged in the last 24 hours
USER-5766: All I can see is how you treat people. Why? Someone asked you if the site is legit and you told him you'll ban him. As you claim this is a trollbox and you're the admin of a site which has a -trollbox- and you want to ban them for such questions? Is your site really safe? Can you see why I am asking you if I can entrust a person like yourself with my earned funds?
[TG] GREGORST: o my god
[TG] THEBOMBER: user 5766, anthony is my admin and he help me a lot with ticket and chat
[TG] THEBOMBER: is not easy to manage all users of a new brand exchnage that ask every hours same questions
[TG] THEBOMBER: please, try to understand
[TG] ANTHONYGOZZINI: I didn't tell you I ban you. But coming here and saying "is it scam" is not nice at all
[TG] GREGORST: USer 5766, please say to me where you read "you will be banned", this site is really safe, i get that you are new and you want trust but this is an "everyday" situation.
USER-5766: "IIKHIKMATULLOH: bitgrail scam or no? [TG] ANTHONYGOZZINI: Give me a reason not to ban you from the chat [TG] ANTHONYGOZZINI: IikHikmatulloh I am waiting" - this guy asked if the site is a legit site or a scam and you told him you'll ban him if he doesn't give you a reason
[TG] GREGORST: Why are you doing this? Do you want to deposit here, we are trusted, do you want to complain and create problems? Go to other site.
[TG] THEBOMBER: user 5766, you think the trollbox of bitgrail is the better place to ask if bitgrail is scam? (no, that's why I'm making this post on bitcointalk right now, so more people discuss about your service and the way your treat your users.)
That's a good reason why you should trust an exchange, I guess. 22 btc vol in 24 hours, admin helps support reply.
Firstly screenshot is preferable and such text won't be enough to prove that they did that. But if i will pretend this is a concrete evidence i think that incharge in the chat would not be avoiding questions hence giving doubts on the viewers and that will leave a mark. An admin or whatever he/she is shouldn't avoid customers questions if possible cause that's their job and they shouldn't treat their customers like that. So that's my honest opinion so far.
