Topic: bittrex is a scam website - AVOID!- WITH PROOF!! - page 16. (Read 77875 times)

i opened an account back in august after they were recommended by someone who has traded a lot on there exchange and still does to this day without issue
i deposited about £200 and started to trade alt coins,i also transferred some of my own coins into there to trade.

everything was fine up until 4 weeks ago,i tried to log in and my account was blocked,i logged out and back in again sametime and funnily enough it was unblocked,thought this was strange as i have 2fa set up on the account but the second time it wasnt required for login
i got spooked so i mailed them to say there might be an issue with 2fa
next time i logged in,my account is blocked and cannot be unblocked automatically by myself,since then i have tried to use the zendesk with no luck whatsoever,sent a suport ticket,heard nothing at all for weeks

i then receive a reply to my support ticket asking me if im still blocked !!! WTF ....there asking me if im blocked
replied to the ticket to say im still blocked and could they please unblock my account,to date ive heard nothing whatsoever from them
i wish i had never registered an account,i can still login but cant withdraw etc,my friend is trading daily with no issues
im so confused as to what exactly is going on with them,i heard something about compliance investigations etc and that certain accounts are being looked at to make sure no laundering etc,i doubt whether my £200 deposit would alert the anti money laundering team but still im blocked with no light at the end of the tunnel

The exact same thing happens to me, this just annoying nothing else. Complete bullshit feelings towards the service. Eventually tries to use this exchange because of regulating over users hard to continue. For me, its better taking my money off such of this worst exchange asap.

I deposit some bitcoin to Bittrex and want to get some eth for ICO, however, I found out that we could not withdraw anything without verification. and So I upload the documents they needed.
and I meet the Name Mismatch after substitution . And I contact their support and create a ticket. However, beside the auto reply message, they didnt say anything about it. and mark the ticket as resolved. so I create another followup ticket to they, and they do not reply anything until now, it is already a month something....

what could we do other than talking in here or ask their support

So should I withdraw my money from Coinbase? Ive had some with them like $100 in BTC. Any suggestions are welcome.

I heard lot of negative stories on bitrex exchange.I used to trade lot till Janaury of this year.
But i have moved all my coins from the exchange and moved out

Better be safe than be sorry later !

I registred 2 days ago and upload id for basic verification but after this topic i think i'll find another exchange

I don't see any problem with what trading scenarios I had with that site. Maybe I will check if I am having any trades in the future, and its quite too long period of time I do have transactions with this trading site as well. We should be careful in dealing with trading sites because if that's a legit incident that scam is really happening, well that really a big loss of money.

they want rob our money.
but they dont know how
and with what excuses

Now bitterx support will close my ticket and keep my all funds in save place because I have to show them any bill
But I asked, may be they have a real problems with US
And sure US need clear users, Why not notified us before that and allow users withdraw their funds?
Why accepted our registration 2 years  ago? Where is that rules past years? I need answer...
Is that SCAM?

I agree, first of all if a person wanted to deposit or withdraw a huge amount of coins, the website has a right to get your personal info whether your deposit/withdraw is exceeding the limit or not that's why we need first to verify our identity and 2fa to avoid uncertainty, maybe the OP has really did something wrong or maybe it's a misunderstanding that is needed to be solve or maybe the OP is right?

What's support said:
It's so funny, 2 years ago Bitterx accepted all IPs, and now  Bitterx make more money and want to follow OFAC rules and Access Denied all those accounts and IPs. ..
So why not close our accounts instead of kidding and take all this time?
We have a real funds inside and by the LAW, we registered and trade, Deposit,  Withdraw, all that without basic account and with that unwanted ips, now Bitterx talk about verification? Who's fool here?
Now stole my money. .

You can check if Bittrex good or not when you lost. Bitterx support updated my ticket and try to stole my funds

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.24191331

bittrex is good for alt coins only, if you are lucky not getting into bittrex scam radar then you are safe otherwise  for non us citizens Bitfinex is best choice 

Any body get his account enabled and be able to withdraw?

a multi million dollar company did that already because he is not only one disabled his account, but the point is who's wrong? BITTERX OR BITTERX - NO WAY- sorry to said that, but bitterx started with those an verified accounts  ( ofcourse those bad guys help the bitterx to be as you are happy now) now bitterx never care about disabled accounts even most of them verified and approved ( like me) just follow the rules. It's ok do that! But we are inside the race, legally we have records  and proofs that we are a memebers for long time ( and still bitterx in US ) and we trade and deposit, withdraw, etc. I think you get the sense now!
Bitterx have to explain and take an action ASAP due this Unknown Reason because we lost both time and money

I got my account enhanced verification in 10 mins, no problem, very promptly service...... that I thought they were....
Something happened!! when I saw my account stayed enhanced verified every time I login, 2 months later, I deposited 5 ETH, when I went to balance and saw my 5 ETH arrived, I was happy, and try to trade! When I trid to withdraw some coins in the same day before I went to sleep,  boom! I couldn't withdraw the coins and I got a message my account was an unverified account, what they got me like this:

*******************************************************************************
Name Mismatch
We have failed to automatically process your documents due to your name from your basic application not matching what is found on your document. They will need to be manually reviewed. Please contact our support desk. Manual review typically takes 7 days but could be longer based on demand.
*******************************************************************************


The system used my email as my first name! it is not everyone using the real name in front @ of all their emails they have, if someone's email is [email protected], so their fast name must be FunnyGuy? when I submited my passport copy and my selfie, is bittrex system you told me all my information and identification was fine, why you suddenly disable my account after I deposited coins? why you said the info was matched before and disable me after I deposited coins but not disable it before? you have 2 months time to do so after I sucessfully got the account enhanced verified, but you bittrex trapped people when they deposited coin.  Not it has been a month since I submitted the first CS ticket, and still no response.

All bittrex supporters and fans, you still think bittrex trustworthy?  Show us the way we can reach them first! they don't even answer people but just keep your account untouch, you can say they never scam your money your money still in your bittrex account, you can login and see it! whatever, yea you are right!!! but you just never get your coin back forever.

Regarding to Sign Petition against Bitterx, the twitter topic updated #Unblock_Bittrex_user_accounts

So far so good I've not experience any difficulties or them stealing any amount of bitcoin in my account I mean it's hard to say one who is currently trusted and many consumer ICO is a scammer. Just saying sir.

That what we call "Unknown Reason", bitterx accepted people and allow them trading even without basic verify for more than two Years, and then block them without any notification. It's very clear ... Poloniex before denied access to accounts but allowed users withdraw their funds. Why bitterx not allow us withdraw? Who's behind that?..
"Bitterx Disabled Accounts List" should be created with full details.
