Topic: Changelly.com Scammed Me - Took Approx 80% in FEES!!!! :( - page 2. (Read 3350 times)

So shocked about the transaction ID, That's too many outputs that's why the transaction fee blows up, that's not what legit company works out. BTW thanks for sharing this OP, and sorry for your lose. People now must learn about this shitty site.

Wow, that is just shocking. No matter what, you as a company (Changelly) have literally scammed this customer with that astronomically high fee conversion. This is highly unprofessional and I would urge you to resolve this issue. So after checking that bit further, you think paying a customer from a shitload of addresses filled with dust is okay, with the customer swallowing that fee? Now that is dick move if I ever saw one. You should consolidate these dust addresses without making the customer pay for it. Quit disgusted really.

OP, sorry to hear about this. I have tagged the account in question, and we can only hope they refund the majority of that BTC. Time will tell.

Very unprofessional, they paid to you from many inputs without merging them into one. This looks so shady to me, that i will have to leave some feedback to them. Avoid this crap service. Something like 0.001 BTC would be reasonable, and their high amount of inputs is not your responsibility at all.

Jeez I was actually considering using them....

Bastards!!

Thanks for sharing DjArmani. 

Down with changelly.com !!!

Sorry you had to take hit for us all to learn changelly.com are cheats.

Your a good man and I like your style

Spread the word people and let's get DjArmani his coins back.

Hello all,

Made an account so I could raise this concern regarding changelly.com. Will try follow your format for scam postings below...

What happened:

On June 3rd 2017, I exchanged 0.68902858 ZEC for BTC using changelly.com... A few minutes after the exchange was completed I realized that changelly took approx. 80% of my funds in fees which is absurd! I ended up receiving 0.01128376 BTC but LOST 0.05037138 BTC in fees!

Over the last 4 days I have opened several support tickets, all of which have been ignored and even used an old twitter account to direct message them to which I received a casual response of...

"Hi! Thanks for waiting. Unfortunately, the bitcoin blockchain is overloaded. That's why it takes rather high network fees."

Again, that's a completely absurd response as 0.0005 BTC in fees might be considered reasonable but 0.05 BTC in fees is utter madness!!

Additional Notes:

It is my hope that Changelly will do the right thing and refund me but it's not looking likely at this point so I figured I'd make this post to warn others and possibly motivate Changelly to process a refund for me.

FYI, After this incident I now see that Changelly doesn't even have decent contact info on their "about" page, no address, no phone number, pretty sketchy for sure so I advise caution to other users looking for an cryptocurrency exchange, I recommend avoiding Changelly.com!!!
