Topic: bittrex is a scam website - AVOID!- WITH PROOF!! - page 6. (Read 77892 times)

Now a days bittrex is also giving the same problems like poloniex and support people are not responding to people problems. So it makes people to think about negative but of they drag like this people will feel more negative about bittrex exchange.

I am also waiting for my BTC which has vanished...!
Its been 2 weeks since my BTC transfer of approx $1000 showed up in deposit history but no funds in Account.
No response from support, what is going on?

Bittrex, if you are out there, PLEASE respond to support ticket 770645

I am getting concerned seeing so many posts wondering if they have been scammed...

the operators of all these exchanges stole the coins
they were  not hacked

only exchange where operator did not steal coins is BTC-E, their funds were stolen by the US government

Did all the 5 things happen to you ? I thought they were a serious enterprise.

No I do not think bittrex will be the new cryptsy, things are much different now.

Remember cryptsy was hacked by malicious code uploaded by....vegascoin? Some crap like that I can't remember.

Bittrex has a higher standard for coins being added and their code review is way better.

Now before everyone in this thread jumps me for supporting them I will empathize with everyone that it does suck to have funds
locked up.

Remember that crypto currency exchanges are in a huge grey area right now, and these markets move soooo fast. It's nearly impossible
for them to handle the influx of customers and volume this fast!! The same thing happened to poloniex last spring, also keep in mind that they are also
trying to follow and comply with ever increasing eyes from regulators.

If your funds are locked I encourage you to just take some deep breaths, the regulators are well aware of crimes of now defunct
exchanges mt.gox, cryptsy and mintpal..they arent going to let bittrex rob you guys.

My account is still locked. No response from support.

Are they already running away? Is bittrex the new criptsy?

So sad.

Have an account set to "new" after i tried to move some BTC from it. There are currently 4000$ trapped inside this account.

Its especially annoying since i just bought some ARK that of course are not staking in the wallet.
I wrote an ticket to them 16 days ago and get no response.

Request #663985
yes Bittrex! Please reply if you read that.

To everyone involved with this exchange i can say, try to avoid it. At least as long as they need to sort this out.
Its really time we get good decentralized exchanges!

Also those guys are preparing a lawsuit right now.

 I did have problems getting Verified on Bittrrex but that got resolved in 2 weeks. They did send out an email explaining the delay. But then I couldn't pull out some BTCs when I wanted them.

I have some advice to my fellow newbies..

Some of the posts here, however, are a little scary. We should all ensure that what we post here do not increase to the FUD going around.
For example, many people mentioned that their BTC transaction do not show up. But they eventually got it. I too had a similar case when I started. I too thought that it is lost or a scam. But the fact was that BTC transactions at a time of a heavy is VERY VERY slow. We should keep that in mind. If you have a transaction Id for your transaction, It can Always be tracked.

Secondly, DO NOT  give access to anyone on your computer. NO one can remote in and fix you problems for you. JUST don't do it. Ask them for instructions on what to do and you do it yourself to fix the problems. Support staff of crytocurrency related services have no business taking remote of your machines. There is nothing they have to do ON YOUR COMPUTER.   


Btw... I think Coinbase is a bigger problem . They very conveniently lock out buy and sell when the prices are low. 
 

@player514
They can act like that because we are not gonna physically beat them.

We must find their identity and a group of us must go together at their place and give them what they deserve.

Is that difficult??
If CloudFlare doesn't want to reveal us the Bittrex owners names, we beat the Cloudflare employees too

I prefer giving a punch to someone than losing thousands of bucks, don't you ?

EDIT: now i finally see my 0.25 BTC on my balance.
Just after i started reporting my case on here... very strange coincidence

To everyone who's having issues with this, it seems as if this is a pretty wide scale problem. However, one way that it was fixed to have it go viral on reddit as seen here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/7jaf2r/bittrex_has_stolen_my_money/

The OP was in a similar spot as many responses on this thread and after this post gained hundred of upvotes, the OP updated the post stating that Bittrex had unfroze his account. These guys are really fishy, and it's probably best to stay away from them, but maybe commenting on the reddit post will help chances of your case being seen. I have no clue how Bittrex is operating like this...

I have deposited 0.25 BTC and the amount is not showing up in my Balance.
Transaction : https://blockchain.info/tx/3d676a49827071eccb8c944a47216a55170857335761f8a5908779d10ca737d7
Bittrex deposit address: 1CeJVuEHPqLG4BQBqx4Ugq7nKKwXNkv39P

Opened a support request but at this point i doubt they reply.

We have to catch them.
Let's find out their identity.

We have to contact CloudFlare and ask who those people are !!

So yes, they are definitely either compromised or a scam all together. A few weeks ago, I transferred a small amount of BTC into their exchange for the purpose of buying NEO. A month later, still no NEO and do not have my BTC back because they changed all of the fee limits making it impossible to get my BTC back.

Yesterday, I called them to find out how to get the fee set to what it needed to be to allow me to move my BTC. The guy was very friendly, was trying to "help" me for over an hour. Said he needed to remote into my computer and change something with the server etc. So of course, I let him do it, the screen kept going blank on my side to where I could not see what he was doing. I'm waiting and waiting on him to be done with what he is doing and the line went dead. I tried to call back several times and the phone number is not reachable now.....

I open up my computer, that is still "being controlled by a cloud administrator," and see that he logged into my coinbase account, purchased $716.00 worth of BTC and sent it to himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both numbers on google are not their phone numbers or the lines are being rerouted! Thankfully it comes out of my credit card and I can report it but then I was on hold for 3 hours strait with coinbase without ever talking to a human, to get it reported, never got a hold of them either.....JUST BEWARE!!! They will steal your shit....

And my BTC is still stuck in their "exchange" ...or whatever the fuck they are running

Wait but isn't that illegal? All the complains they had before should still be valid, no? I don't know much about laws there but what they are doing seems to be literally illegal.

Speaking of transparency...

Has anyone else noticed that Bittrex, LLC very quietly closed operations in Las Vegas, Nevada only to pop up as Bittrex, INC. in a DIFFERENT STATE (and DIFFERENT jurisdiction): Now they've SUDDENLY reappeared as the same (although different legal structure) in Bellevue, Washington.

ALL former complaints against the LLC are MAGICALLY INVALID due to Bittrex MOVING outside the regulatory agencies jurisdiction and changing legal status.  Hmm....

QUESTION:  If YOU owned the 3rd largest cryptocurrency-exchange and made such a RUSHED AND DRASTIC CHANGE  to new headquarters with a new legal identity, wouldn't you be SHOUTING your success from the rooftops?!  (Well... maybe not if your new address includes an APARTMENT number AND your new legal identity already has 129 COMPLAINTS within the FIRST WEEK at your new appartment headquarters.)

Instead... NO ANNOUNCEMENT WHATSOEVER, NOT EVEN A WHISPER... perhaps Bittrex just wanted to escape the (legal) heat in Las Vegas...  erhmh....

Bittrex has also removed any and all phone contact from domain and business registration.

(Isn't it against ICANN policy to NOT have valid contact info?) Funny enough (or not), the domain Bittrex.com expires in January with no sign of renewal.  Hmmrmh...


In any case, HERE is the NEW Bittrex contact information that Bittrex NEVER GAVE US, along with some links to relevant regulatory agencies.

https://www.bbb.org/northwest/business-reviews/virtual-currency/bittrex-inc-in-bellevue-wa-1000048938

(You can submit a complaint at the link above)

Bittrex, Inc.
788 110th Ave NE Apt N3103
Bellevue, WA 98004-8429

Business Management
Mr. Rami Kawach, Director
Mr. Richie Lai, Director
Mr. William Shihara, Director

ONLY 129 complaints filed against BITTREX, INC. and the BBB Northwest file has only been open for 6 DAYS (since Dec. 15th).

Who knows how many regulatory complaints they ignored and left behind in Las Vegas...


Besides BBB Northwest, you can also file a complaint through the Washington State Attorney General's Office...

Sure, nothing is wrong here cuz a few randoms say "it works for me" (yet mention nothing of withdrawals or the problems HUNDREDS of others are experiencing...)

I'd love to think this is just growing pains but companies that WANT to be legit, ACT LEGIT and so far Bittrex has does nothing but.

Make of it what you will.

Never got a problem with bittrex support. It takes them a week to reply but the do reply

Is amazing the kind of bllshit some people can spread freely here. It's an obvious freaking scam people, WTF.

 You can't just change your rules without any advise, and you can't operate without a customer support because come on that sht that they have is not a customer support there is no human answering or fixing your problems for months.

They are a scam website, maybe they weren't in the past I don't care about that, but they are scamming people nowadays, and they are taking advantage of international customers specially who can't take legal actions against them.

They haven't been transparent at all, they have changed their ToS without any notice + making old accounts unverified and taking away the option to withdraw. That's not professional. Not getting a response from their support in 4 months is not professional, locking accounts without explanation is not professional. Wake up.

I don't know why it happen to you..I hope it will get resolve soon... I know that they have a min. deposit and if the min. is not reached, the money will disappeared.  But so far for me is been good trading in bittrex

Wow...

Anyone in here remember mintpal or cryptsy?

I get it maybe peoples accounts have been frozen and such but I have used bittrex for 3.5 years and haven't had a single problem.

They have added countless coins based on customer demand.

When poloniex had massive problems due to the surge in customers during the spring they stepped up as a viable and secure alternative.

In my experience they have always been transparent about things. As long as your not breaking their rules I dont see why anyone would have a problem.

If your new to crypto understand that the exchanges now days are way more professional and transparent to regulators than ever before, be thankful you weren't trading back in 2013/2014 when people's money literally got stolen from them.

On a final note yall shouldnt be keeping alot of coin on exchanges anyway, only keep small amounts to trade with on there. If you keep alot on there you are asking for trouble anyways, always be in control of your private keys.

Funny thing is that they are supposedly doing this to prevent market manipulation when they themselves seem to be doing it. Just a bunch of scammers because the community allows it.
