Topic: ChangeNOW.io Scammed me for 28000$ (Read 64 times)
The good thing about a forum like ours is that there is a way of checking the reputation of any provider before putting your money into that. I have not read any good review about ChangeNOW.io so I don't know what could be your motivation for using them. Besides, before using them and even putting such large amount of money into the platform, it would have been necessary to do a little background checks, that is if you truly care about your money. You did not do any of that neither did you consider other better alternatives we have which is a mistake from your part. The only option you have is either to submit the KYC, which I don't think will even return your money because their violation of their TOS means they intentionally want to scam.
Does this exchange has a place in this forum? Don't think so!
One thing that has got me wondering is how people will go outside the forum get to make use of an exchange or a casino the got found out there and not in the forum advertising, only to come to the forum, make a long thread about how they have been scammed by the very exchange. But then I have always asked myself, what do they want the community to do about that hence such exchange or casino platform doesn't operate in the forum.
I sincerely sympathise with your situation but it should serve as warning to do a thorough research on some of these platforms from reputable communities before engaging in their services to avoid "had I known".
Bringing up here(forum), crypto deals that are done outside the forum that turn out to be scams are not necessarily a bad idea. Do you know why? So that other people will learn from other people's experiences, to avoid and not deal with such crypto exchanges or casinos when they by mistake come across it outside the forum, they will learn how to avoid it completely and not deal with themOne thing that has got me wondering is how people will go outside the forum get to make use of an exchange or a casino the got found out there and not in the forum advertising, only to come to the forum, make a long thread about how they have been scammed by the very exchange.

I don't think OP, really know that ChangeNow.io has been found guilty of scam in the forum here, so many other people may not know about it the same way he does. They may also fall guilty of the same scam in the future.
Bringing up the issue here will deeply reduce the future scams ChangeNow.io will have in the future. At least people in the forum will tell their friends and relations to stay away from ChangeNow and its scam colleagues

Yeah, i know, my problem was that i was using atomic wallet, and they didnt say what are they using for exchange(
I think owners of atomic wallet should think who they partner with too, if they not scammers like ChangeNow.io

What happened::
Yesterday i was making exchange 9 eth to btc via atomic wallet, Transaction was completed but orders status says waiting for deposit
after i contacted support, i was given answer that i need to pass KYC in order to complete exchange
I dont feel comfortable in sending my PII to anyone, thats not how crypto suppose to works. So, based on TOS
https://changenow.io/faq/kyc-aml-procedure
quote:
"In case a client doesn’t wish to disclose their identity for certain reasons and refuses to provide the documents, the KYC/AML procedure is considered failed and the deposited funds are then refunded to the address (or addresses) the deposit was made from, subtracting the network fees, within 24 hours. Then, ChangeNOW reserves the right to blacklist this address (or addresses), thus rendering it (or them) non-eligible for making deposits on the service."
i refused, than support informed me: "(14:37:53) Kate: I'm afraid a refund is not possible at the moment. Our compliance team will need to check this case, a KYC would help with that."
Later, support even told me that, quote "Unfortunately, it is not possible to take further action on this case without your cooperation in completing the KYC procedure."
So, it consider it a plain refusal

Hello,
Unfortunately, it is not possible to take further action on this case without your cooperation in completing the KYC procedure.
Additional Notes:
They are asking for PII which i dint want to share. I dont trust those guys with my PII. I need my refund, i will not provide and participate in KYC.
Now, they will talk about "investigation with no ETA" but on their helpdesk support clearle refused to provide any refund without KYC. So, i refuse to Provide it, and now it seems like it their money now) I know that this is not fors complaint about them, but i simply didnt read atomic wallet tos to know what exactly they using for swaps, never though they will rob be like that
