Topic: BTC-e - £1500 Stolen - page 3. (Read 6433 times)

BTC-e is run by known scammers. There are no phone numbers, bogus WHOIS entries, and the only way to BTC-e is through their bank. I will not be surprised if BTC-e goes down when Mayzus or BTC-e accounts at Mayzus are siezed by EU/US regulators.

Hopefully, we get some percent of our money back.

Yes but what you can do is victims can group up and hit the UK company with a court order and get a UK judge to freeze the assets (including bank account of Mayzus Financial Services Ltd, in any EU country)

Mayzus Financial Services Ltd are enabling them to perpetuate this fraud, BTC-E.COM state on their website that its their bank account, therefore they are legally representing themselves as Mayzus Financial Services Ltd and without any information to the contrary you must treat Mayzus Financial Services Ltd and BTC-E.COM one and the same, simply a trading style.

Yes, wires / IBANs can not reversed in any country after the payment sent by the orginating bank.

Who did you wire the money to? Was it Mayzus Financial Services Ltd in the UK? Contact them and tell them you will be holding them responsible. Report them to uk financial watchdog and issue a county court judgement against Nikolay Rozhok/Mayzus Financial Services Ltd

SO they got a UK limited company with a German bank account and a Czech Republic mailing address. They state on the website "OUR BANK" so you take screenshots of that and thats enough proof that you are under the impression that BTC-E.COM is a trading style of Mayzus Financial Services Ltd and they are responsible for the debt. You can sue this UK limited company at least with a County Court Judgement which is cheap to do.

I think they dont want this selective scamming scheme to finish yet so chances are they will pay you if you make a big enough fuss to this "company"

I really don't think that is any of their business. It was your money.
And you may be paying the bank a fee, I don't know how yours will work.
The transaction was for 'goods not received',
try leaving it at that.

Not BTC-E man, I was looking for a good arbitrage oppurtunity    So, is there any exchange remaining that doesn't have any negative feedback, damn!

Hi, same here, I found this thread looking for a solution on google... Did the SEPA transfert but forgot to write the ID of payment. I've tried to open a support ticket, I'll post if there's something new for me. Would be great if anyone comes up with a solution !

When requesting a chargeback with my bank is it a good idea to mention the payment was for cryptocurrency? I ask because most banks have a very negative attitude towards Bitcoin.

EDIT: Looks like chargebacks are not possible from the UK for bank transfers, only credit cards.

I've had noting but problems with btc-e alot of people recommened me to it. But I got a month hold time for wire transfer and then when I finally got funds my bitcoins were put on hold for 48 hours.

Wow I didn't realise so many people were in the same situation as me. Does anyone have a phone number for BTC-e or any other contact details?

You need to request your bank to chargeback the funds you transferred. This is the only way you will see your money from BTC-e. I am sorry to hear yet another person being taken/scammed/ignored by BTC-e.

If you plan on just buying BTC and holding, I would recommend Bitstamp or MtGox. If you want to trade and eventually want Euro back, I would recommend Bitstamp at the moment.

I concur, I authorized an international wire transfer of USD on the 7th of November. BTC-e asked for my SWIFT transaction statement, which I provided.
My bank tells me that BTC-e must have received the money by this point.
Conclusion - they have it and are sitting on it.
-DO NOT!!- do business with BTC-e, they are becoming a FRAUD, even if they were not already.

My problem is with transferring cryptocurrency.
They did not transfer my BTC to destined wallet but they say they did.

I am in the same boat. I've got a tracer out from my bank trying to locate the funds, but all banks swear they should have been in BTC-e's account for some time now. I also receive no information via the support system. I've also tried writing in Russian via Google translate.

What else can one do? My bank is prepared to issue a recall of the funds. I don't know whether that will have any impact. I'll post a thread about it if it does.

The hard lesson I learned here is to avoid BTC-e entirely for this. I've had good success transferring cryptocurrency in to BTC-e, just not USD. I have had good success (well, no problems with them) trading among currencies, including to and from USD on BTC-e's exchange. I just can't get a large transfer to go through.

- Findiggle.

Lots of people having problems while trying to get money in BTCe.
I trade with them on a daily basis but would not wire them USD or EUR.
Last days posts like yours started poping up.
I know BTCe prices are tempting but ...

ALWAYS RESEARCH THE FORUM FOR FEEDBACK BEFORE DOING A FIRST TIME OP

Thanks for the comments. I have tried contacting them in Russian already but got no response. I will persist in trying to contact them some more and report back with my results.

Well...
This topic was what I have been looking for.
>Today I have made some bitcoins over my account and have withdrawal request from BTC-E to another wallet. They marked it as completed but I have no news from my bitcoins, it has been 6 hours.
I have opened multiple tickets and requested aid but no return.
I'm really getting little desperate.

BTC-E support is difficult to deal with, and English is not a strong point. But I have rarely, if ever, seen an unresolved problem with accounts being credited properly.

In case you don't get anywhere, or are just fed up with them, maybe you could request your bank to perform a chargeback? I -think- they might contact BTC-e about it then as well, so at least someone would have to give it a serious look, right?
