Topic: BTC-e - £1500 Stolen - page 2. (Read 6433 times)

I am getting my lawyer to sue their them. And it may get their bank account closed if they do not comply. They will have bad credit and no bank will want to deal with them. I even gave them my lawyers details and told them who he is - he is well known - and they still wanna play.

If anyone wants join me to sue them they can. Hit me up. I am now dedicating my time to fucking them in the arse. The dirty scam shit wits.

Bombard every btc-e thread, site, twitter account with huge red font and dont stop until they cave in.

it took me months with no money over xmas & new year while site support laughed & called me a troll.

DONT GIVE UP - THEY NEED BAD PUBLICITY A LOT LESS THAN THEY NEED YOUR 7K!!

NOW GET EM!!

ILL TAKE A 5% ADVISORY FEE...

They stole my whole account with 7kGBP.

It seems if they see any vulnerability they use the situation to rob you.

Stupidly I have just done the same thing and forgot to include the payment details. I have raised a ticket with BTC-e and contacted Mayzus Financial Services Limited on their form. Thanks for the info. I hope I can also get this sorted!

Update from my side, I've been able to contact BTC-e bank (Mayzus Financial Services Limited) from the form on their website. After a few mails (at least they respond !), my bank has sent a recall order for my SEPA payment and I had my money two days later. Apparently, SEPA orders have a 8 weeks period during which it's possible to ask for a refund. Obviously, never had any answer from BTE-e support, and they closed my ticket after 72 hours.

Good luck for those who are still in problems with BTC-e !

What you need to do is contact your bank. While stealing bitcoin may not yet be a crime since it doesn't have a legal classification, stealing money is and typically your bank will quickly probe in to and find out what happened.

More likely this is a mere error and when your bank starts probing the will find the administrative mistake.

NO EMAIL BUT COINS RETURNED 12/12/13

Second attempt at withdrawing 1.1 XPM is similarly held up with 'A letter with further instructions sent to your email'


AND NO MAIL..

...How long are we supposed to wait for these 'confirmation e-mails'?


Support tickets are now replied automatically explaining that CONFIRMED email is NOT CONFIRMED & to 'check spam folder' for non existent confirmation mail!


This is beginning to seem like a wild goose chase!



btc-e.support (thailand) on skype is more interested in gaining private email addresses and or phone numbers than getting this confirmation mail sent.

unimpressed doesn't come close!

This has been my experience. You can re-open the same ticket, but it does no good. You can open a new ticket with the same details, and you may get the immediate (bullshit) response:


after which they won't respond further. If they realize it's a duplicate ticket, they'll combine the two (or three or four) into one ticket.

Either way, you're simply stuck until they decide they've milked you for all you're worth.

- Findiggle.

Another peculiarity of the BTC-e ticketing system, if they don't respond to you in 72 hours, and that you don't ask for help again. An automated robot will send you an email saying:

• "We have not heard back from you in 72 hours and would like to know if you consider this issue to be resolved."
  

Here's the kicker, it goes on to say:

• "Please note that the ticket will automatically be closed within 1 hours if we don't hear back."
  

What this mean is, essentially, as if BTC-e not responding to your tickets is not bad enough, the customers needs to be on stand-by, and whenever they get this email, they need to respond immediately within an hour! This sure is some set up. On the other hand, you can still go in and re-open a ticket later on, but in general there is no response any way, so perhaps there's no difference one way or another.

hello btc-e.com

i am having difficulty withdrawing from your site.

zero emails sent to me despite 'resending'   

zero confirmations on the blockchain

i am unable to provide a support ticket due to 'wrong email/password' (which is actually not wrong)

received 2 replies from non-receiving sites' ticket support within 15 minutes...

please forward any information that will solve this issue.

regards,

Ed

Just sent an email to Coindesk, tempted to report them to Action Fraud.

stevel2000 -
when/if you feel such action is warranted, help those in the same boat to lower their trust here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=33012

I notice their postings are marked in red now. Not much else can be done, except to also write the editors of news feeds for the
community, like coindesk, asking them to publish something about BTC-e selectively scamming

http://www.eaassociates.co.uk/about-us/legal

869 High Road London is Chartered Accountants & Tax Advisers, they probably set up this Mayzus Financial on behalf of a client....

you can see it on google street view...but definately worth a visit to find out more info, if you go in heavy they will probably give up some info on their client

That's a great idea, but I have a feeling that it will indeed be just a mailing address. The company, if I read it correctly, is based in Bulgaria.

Another 24 hours have passed, and there no response for my ticket (as expected actually). I was wondering if writing them in Russian was really such a good idea, perhaps in stead of making things easier, I might have offended the folks where.

Right now I'm just counting my blessings, things could have be much worse if I had tens of thousands stuck...

So Mayzus Financial Services Ltd is a UK based company, the address listed on their website is: 869 High Road, London, N12 8QA, UK. It's about a 30 min drive from my house so once I return to the UK I will pay them a visit and see what they have to say - hopefully it's not just a mailing address.

Not a huge amount, slightly more than $400. But still this is just ridiculous.

Now I did write them back (in Russian, no less!) yesterday that I want them to return the money and unblock my account. We'll see what happens. If history is any indication, I should be able to report back here in 5-7 days. :-(

how much they stolen from you?

let me tell you something, if their bank said they suspect a transaction was "fishy" they would have immediately returned it or not even accepted it. how are they supposed to determine if an incomming bank payment is "fishy"? its a bank transfer, it either comes or it doesn't, what's fishy about it? this is total bullshit

They are selectively scamming people and when they are finally brought to book just watch the shit storm it will create for bitcoin and the resulting crash in price.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents with about my experience with BTC-e.

One fine morning about a month and half ago I tried to log into BTC-e and was told that my account was banned. Since then I have been doing the back-and-forth with them with a support ticket. It takes on average about 7 days for them to respond to anything I raise. So it's like this.

me: why was I banned?
them (7 days later): money trouble with you account.

me: what money trouble?!
them (another 7 days later): our bank says a wire to your account seems fishy, please provide ID, until bill, etc.

me: here they are, what next?
them (5 days later): oh we don't accept electronic copies, do you have scanned copies?

me: here's the scanned copy
(email from them: 72 hours no activity, we are about to close the ticket!)

me: hello?
me: hello hello?
them: no response so far...

Yesterday I finally took some advice from the websphere and added another comment in Russian, crossing my fingers to get a good response soon.

known scammers? or unknown scammers? we want some names...company registration number even...

This is an important situation for all BTC holders as if and when a major exchange goes down it will crash the price
