i can confirm that btc-e.com is a scam too.
they banned me from withdrawals without giving a reason and now their support ignores me! here is the whole story with e-mail traffic: https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/5zdjga/btce_scammed_me_i_can_not_withdraw_anything/
Topic: btc-e.com is a scam - page 4. (Read 12230 times)
I confirm BTC-e is a scam. You can find out all over the Internet.
They "verified" my account, I sent a bitcoin.
They suddenly requested more documents...and then they put my account on "moneyhold".
When I asked to cancel my account and refund my money, they said no, only your bank can ask for it. Banks don't do that !
Mayzus financial Services is the owner of BTC-e. Mayzus is the mayor of Kaliningrad and he is known for belonging to the Russian mafia. Mayzus financial services has been sentenced for money laundering in Cyprus. They have a London address. I filed a legal complaint with the Financial Conduct Authority because they are a regulated entity and a complaint with the London Metro police because they engage in serious criminal activity.
You can file with London police, even if you are not UK or EU resident here : http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report-a-fraud-including-online-crime-questions
not the first time it happens?
It's very important to dig out this old thread for just this message. O_o
not the first time it happens?
I've never had a problem on that site and I find it just a little weird that most scam accusations seem to come from noobs with only a few posts. Not to say that they might not have legit beef with BTC-e, but I've never seen a high ranking member get funds stolen, only locked up for what the admit were negative comments about the site, ect.
Not that this justifies the problems people have had on the site, but due to the volume and my lack of a single problem with years of successful trading on my part I'm not going to stop using BTC-e personally.

BTC-E has had some pretty disturbing scam accusations against it from what I have seen on the forums in my time here.
Tons of stories of withdraws never showing up and claiming sent. Accounts locked with thousands of dollars worth of funds in them and no reason.
I Once used the site back when I was inexperienced but even with small amounts of BTC found that they suffered from withdraw or solvency issues.
Personally I'd avoid them, But make your own decisions accordingly. Selective scamming seems to be the game they play.

Hello everyone,
www.btc-e.com are thieves
I would like to warn you all that btc-e bans without legit reason and then because of the ban (which is set to forever) you cannot post in chat boc on the webpage, but you also CANNOT WITHDRAW YOUR MONEY OR COINS! So basically, if someone denies withdrawals of funds for eternity, they actually stole that!
I can still log-in to my account, I can even set orders, but I cannot withdraw my funds.
When I contacted support, they just keep repeating they banned my account because they think I posted links in chatbox on the webpage that led to some virus. Although I said I dont know anything about any virus, they didn't tell me exactly what was that link that I suposingly sent in the chat(even if I did send something, like a link, it was as a response to someone elses post). Anyway, if we assume that I really did post something in that chat box, I didnt do it with intention but am willing to accept I cannot post in it anymore, but I cannot accept that I cannot make a withdrawal, 'cause then that is stealing done by btc-e.
Considering they haven't answered to my ticket in over 7 days, does anyone know what could I do and to whom and how to report this crime?
I emphasize thay I have US Dollars, bitcoins and litecoins on my account and that they deny withdrawal of anything. I cannot withdraw MY funds... ever! Stealing btc-e

yes, has same thing
I have been with them years too
they have many scam mods, not just unscrupulous but downright criminals. main one was koolio but he is long gone now
paul is a nice guy, if anyone knows if he's a member here let me know
as had same thing, luckily only have some namecoins on there, but is principle
couple months back was trlling having a laugh in the 'trollbox' famous for trolling it is
mod was on period it seems and got not 1 hour ban, but 6 months!
same as you opened support tickets etc.
well it will hurt them more if we open threads every day and cover google with their thefts
I mean I can actually wait 6 months it's no big deal, like watching paint dry over there, as long as I get my coins or will report them to authorities in whatever country theyre in
dont waste money on legal threat, just flag them up to powers that be
too many loose cannon exchanges out there. cryptsy are even worse
we really need some better people running exchanges it's too wild west
let us know if you get sorted
nb: yes, I got accused of the malware thing too which is utter crap. there is trollboxarchive.com btw to prove your case to them
I told them this but you never hear back from second support ticket
bottomline these aren't people to trust. keep the bare mimimum on exchnage and keep out trollbox is moral of story
but yes, get coins back
I can beat that.. i was banned on cryptsy for a YEAR for a comment i made at Bitcointalk.
EDIT:
So be careful what you say here you may find yourself banned on various exchanges.. NO Joke !
Better work with cryptsy.com that they have a known location...
I also didn't like the hidden fees of btc-e and the unknown location...

exactly.. Belize !
Lol I think we did help each other.
And I agree on the rest of your conclusions, btce is scared of hackers and scammers and that is why they react this way, 'blowing the horn' on innocent customers.
I will keep 10-20% of my coins on btce.. I can afford to lose that much if they ever do this again.
Case closed

They finally removed the ban!!
But they still wrote that this is my last warning?? I am so done with them, it took me a whole month to get them to unban me and all that after 26 ticket replies and threat with lawsuit and hiring a lawyer. IF I didn't do it.. they would hold my money forever...

ditto, this morning
it was about 600 namecoins for me, which is not much now, but is principle
but they will go back up, in time
I did a couple of support tickets, i got one word broken english back each time
so eventually unlocked, and they just said, yes, but don't post viral links
lol
I never did, i told them to check trollboxarchive.com
don't forget all chats there are archived so you have further proof
I also sent them this link to show them we are not messing around
so maybe we helped each other!
either way
I will not use them again
now I just have to sort out cryptsy scammers!
I am very long in tooth and been in this game years, I don't hold much coin on exchanges but you have to hold some!
I actually think btce are far more trustworthy than cryptsy even though they are secretive, they are VERY suspicious of scammers and hackers.
plus they have been unlucky with corrupt mods and rely on their english as seems people behind scene only speak russian
now! seen from scam section seems allcoin.com are scamming!
does it ever end lol
Well they gave in!

They are going full retard mode on me... can you believe this? It is like talking to a retard child... nice tactics
Update.
I got an answer (after 8 days and a big new ticket about me warning them I will take legal actions).
So 19 days after the initial ticket they just make up stuff as they go and this is the latest:
http://imgsnap.com/image/DYa
In case you don't know russian use google translate as I did! I mean that is also retarded, they have a full english system and site and they answer me in cyrilic??
@BitHappy no, but am I supose to seek support outside of their support system? That just shows how bad they are
I will post updates
Edit: since that is a screenshot here is google translate of that russian cyrilic:
Good day , we received complaints from users who are affected by your post in a chat, they had stolen money , we investigate until we inspect your account will be blocked for withdrawal

This is not a new at all.
What do you mean? 
This is not a new at all.
Don't waste money on legal threat? I have a LOT of money there dude! I will spend another couple of thousand of USD/altcoins to get a good lawyer and if that doesn't work I will f***ing hire hackers to DDoS the stealing retards!!
They stole couple of nmc from you, they did the same thing to thousands of users = a lot of nmc/nvc/ltc/btc = a lot of money. The problem here is I didn't have 'couple of coins/dollars' ... I need EVERYONE who had their coins stolen by btc-e.com in this way to raise their voice!!

Oh, that's annoying.
I just wonder how you're going to achieve this, because afaik nobody knows how to physically reach out to them.
Hope you get your funds back. Malware or not, intentionally or not. No exchange should hold users' coins hostage.
