People should still not forget the whole story. This is an important reminder for everybody to remember that scammers are everywhere !

Good day to everyone concerned. I have some updates on the current situation.
Yesterday our legal team gave us the green light on issuing refunds to all our hanging KYC cases.
All our clients who wish not to submit their IDs for verification should contact our support anf confirm their dismissal of the KYC procedure. They will be issued a refund minus the network fee and their deposit address will be blacklisted.

You can read the full version of our statement here: https://medium.com/@changenow_io/changenow-updates-verification-cases-and-future-plans-cf04a2863168

Why this lie? You claimed that you have changed hundreds of BTCs with Changelly?


I already wrote to you about NOW tokens


These "accusations" are meaningless. If you think that some token, something is worth before the official listing, you're just a fool. And again, you insert a link to shit, to which, as you say, you have no relation. ni23457, I think you're a donkey who is himself to blame for his problem. Blaming the exchange, you are deceiving the forum community, because the main problem is that you wanted to exchange BTC anonymously, that is, remaining unknown. Who, if not an honest man, will strive for this?

Solving your problem is just passing KYC and getting your shit coins! But you're scared of KYC !! Fuck, you're really afraid of this! That's the problem! Donkey...

The last 5 years I had practically no relations with cryptocurrencies. I was very far from this world.

I was very angry when I heard news that Google and Facebook had forbidden advertising related to crypto.

I thought it was a conspiracy and these companies hate cryptocurrency for it superiority over them.

But now I'm starting to understand these companies a little.

I see in this forum that this new sphere of economy has become an excellent springboard for many dishonest people who in other spheres would never have been able to realize their dishonest inclinations.

These freaks have learned to perfectly manage such gullible and not quite understanding people
>good team with bright future.
As you can see, this bounty hunter simply advertises for tokens, which price is actually zero. He does not even read what this topic is about. He will simply add a link to his post in the bounty spreadsheet and will get $0.001 for this work.

I see that the number of users of this forum has doubled in the past year. I do not think that the number of people like theymos has doubled. I think that the number of people like akbcrypto increased by NN times.

So this section just makes me vomit.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0 Bounties (Altcoins)
I think the slogan of this section should be "good team with bright future". This phrase describes 99% of everything that is born there.
I just imagine how much stupid shit spreads on the internet from there. And thanks to this, many dishonest people build their business.

I'm not saying that bounty campaigns are an absolute evil. In fact, I do not see any solution here. I just want people to be smarter.

What a big load of BS. Give the money back to the OP.

@changenow

Stop this pathetic conduct. In the end regardless of what the OP did or what you did the status quo suits you because you are the one holding 110 BCH that does not belong to you. Why are you copying the same Medium post here?

In your 1+ year of entering this business how many others have you done the same thing to? Why ask for ID after you receive the funds? If the amount was too big to exchange without AML/KYC your automated system should have given a JS pop up alert or any alert at the same time as the address was generated so the customer could have made an informed choice.

I fully support the OP in this matter. If you are a bonafide business why are you behaving like scammers? Others including myself believe this to be selective scamming where you allow many of the trades to go through without hassle but decide to select a few large trades to try to scam. In this case the OP gave you all the negative publicity you deserve. Full credit to him for spending even more money on paid ads to inform us all about your business.

To resolve this situation you should return the 110 BCH to the same address you received it from. Please do it, thank you.

@ni23457

How much have you paid on Bitcointalk for the adverts?

We owe you a great thanks for bringing your experiences to our attention. Thanks to your excellent work so many people will avoid using that changenow website.

When I asked myself this question, I did not find an answer. The amount is really big, but there are red flags.

ni23457 says that he confused Changelly and ChangeNOW, but how? Imagine that you are changing the 100BCH. You will be very attentive!

Further, he says that he did not take it seriously, and sent the picture from Google. You would have done so, risking 100BCH. This is the main thing that ni23457 tries not to mention, accusing the exchange that caught it.

Where is the transaction? Where is his wallet? There is nothing! He writes on the forum the same thing, spreads this lie on the Internet, but the problem is easy to solve - KYC! That's all!

If you're curious to find out how ni23457 is blackmailing changenow, read here It is interesting.

This is exactly the question I want to ask. Why not provide KYC? To know that 100BCH is a very large amount.
I think you should provide your wallet address and transaction HX to prove this transaction, and explain why you refused to provide KYC, otherwise the evidence you listed is not sufficient.
As for ChangeNOW.io, I don't know what website it is, of course, once I see this website I will be cautious in the future.

ni23457, I still want to hear from you, why you write this shit every day? What is your problem? Why do not you just go KYC, like thousands of people do? Instead, you fill the forum with garbage, blaming everyone who disagrees with you, on working Changenow.

What are you hiding? Are you the only one person who has a BTC?

Yes, I think you are a fraud. You not only sent fake documents, now you are engaged in blackmail. People of forum, remember how often you started hearing about this problem lately. Think about why. This guy writes shit wherever possible. I do not like it, so I follow this story.

Why didn't you mention the info about your second attempt of document forgery? =)
Scammers such scammers

I created a separate topic, because this problem has nothing to do with money, it's about culture of "business" - classical "Russian Business".

Additional Notes: I advise you to not deal with this user.



(1) Misleading

This "company" openly accuses me of forging documents:



I want to ask you what you imagine when you hear the phrase "document forgery"?

I think that when most people read this, they represent the fact that I took the passport, re-stitched the photo, changed the pages and so on. Such activities are criminal in any country and are punishable by imprisonment.
And this "company" is consciously trying to show to all people that I'm such a criminal.


But what really happened? I opened a Google images and sent them something like this:

There was no form in which I submitted my name, I did not even send my name by e-mail. I just sent the jpg file.

Let me remind you, I did not send it to Bank of America, nor to Bitrex, or even to the ShapeShift.
I sent this to a little-known anonymous website (without the phone, addresses and team's names) which for a long time advertised itself as an anonymous exchanger: https://www.google.com/search?q=changenow+anonymous
Also I want to remind you that from the very beginning I suspected that this is a Russian exchanger(because of support guy Sergey) and then all this was confirmed (for unregistered users)

Do you understand this manipulation? I did not forge documents, I sent a jpg file to them. I sent it because I did not respect this illegal group of persons from Russia and I did not take them seriously. And I did everything right, because all my assumptions were confirmed later.



(2) Defamation

This "company" sends out personal messages to users and secretly spreads lies.


As you can see, they try to explain to the user that I'm a scammer. It seems that they are afraid to talk about it openly, but they do not restrain themselves in private messages.
They again try to convince him that I am engaged in forging documents (a serious criminal offense).
They even tell him that I did it 2 times. But this is not true. The second time 100% true photos of the passport and selfie were sent in excellent quality and resolution. They never told me that they do not like these photos. They were silent until July 19. That day I said that I know who they are and where they are and only after that they started talking about video verification. After this day they ignore all my letters. They have not responded to me for a month and a half.



(3) Abuses

The "company" has hired people(at least 1 man) who rudely spoil all the discussions about ChangeNOW.

I'm sure that all these accounts belong to one person, because the message style is the same. Nobody will create dozens of messages daily for free.


As you can see, these accounts constantly accuse me of stolen money.
If you look at these pictures, you will understand that I have answered this many times, but they do not need an answer. They need to continue to spoil the discussion.




Someone might say that I also hired people. Yes (but not on bitcointalk). But all they do is just spread the information from this topic. They write about the fact that this "company" stole money and it's true. Because they are not a bank, they are not a legal company, it's just a group of Russian people. And if this group of people appropriates another's property and does not return it for two months, then this is theft.

And the second. What I(an individual, just a user) can afford, a self-respecting company can not afford. Millions of people can write nasty things about Apple and Microsoft, but Apple and Microsoft will never write nasty things about an individual.



(4) Threats

I registered a new mailbox 2 months ago  when that problem occurred. It was a mailbox in which all the letters were from this exchanger only.
As I said, they have not sent me anything for a month and a half.

And a week ago, when the situation became particularly heated, I received several letters from an address I did not know.

These letters mentioned some name and a region in which the exchange was started. That is, it could only be the one to whom customer data is available (IP address of user who started the exchange).
This man wanted to threaten me. But I have nothing to fear, because I have everything by law and I have enough money to protect myself from any criminals.

It is impossible to give you any proof, because even if I give you a login-password from my email, there will always be someone who will say that I myself sent those letters.





Can you imagine that some company from States or Europe would do something like that?
Maybe Bittrex or ShapeShift?


The problem is that these companies operate within the law of the country in which they are located. They can never leave themselves an extra dollar. Because sooner or later the state can ask them about the legitimacy of appropriating this dollar.
Therefore, these companies will never lie, hire trolls, send strange letters. They do not make sense to arrange these performances because they still can not keep this money to themselves in the end.


But these Russian businessmen understand the reality differently. Just their logic is different. They believe that the paper of an offshore company, bought for $ 1000, from the dirtiest and cheapest offshore zone(Belize) will allow them to do whatever they want. And thanks to lawlessness and disorder in Russia, they can hope that all the money blocked by them will eventually remain with them.
1. create the impression of an anonymous exchanger https://www.google.com/search?q=changenow+anonymous
2. demand documents from each large deposit
3. 9 will send documents. 1 refuses
4. profit
Unfortunately for you, the residents of the States and Europe, this high-yielding scheme does not work. If you leave this money to yourself, then you can go to prison.
