I am writing a story from my brother. In December 2018, my brother decided to replenish the balance of 2.6 btc on hitbtc. Some time after the trade, he decided to pick them up. He was asked to go through KYC. He submitted all the documents. They asked him many times. different documents all the time. He suffered this humiliation. But he gave everything that they asked. After that, they assigned him a Skype call. Nikolas from Hitbtc will introduce his case sends him the same letter with the same content. He was blocked in Trolbox Hitbtc. Telegram support does not help. I write to them every day but they say that they cannot help us with anything! This is the most terrible exchange. My brother from India is big money for him! he is very poorly maintained that he cannot write here!!!

Hitbtc/shitbtc is one of the few shady exchanges. Hitbtc scammed many people's moneywith various excuses. I can feel how much it hurts to lose this amount of money. But I don't know why your brother deposite such a big amount of money in hitbtc!

Ouch. 2.6 BTC is alot of money anywhere in world, let alone India.
Hopefully he will remain vigilant and resolve the issue. For me HitBTC has always been dodgy, but a good place to dump bounty tokens for few hundred $. Never had an issue

Shit man that sounds rough. I'm from the US and I deposited some $700 to trade, after realizing they don't deal with US customers due to legal issues (it's on their T&C) I thought I was done, but was able to withdraw by getting in contact with support. Point is that if it's important money for your brother keep contacting them by following up on your ticket and you might be able to resolve this via the proper channels.

Best of lucks!

Today about 9 hours ago I also had this KYC issue. Account is registrered 2 years ago but at that time I only made few transactions with them and it was about 2 years ago. Yesterday I made a deposit to Hitbtc for about 1100USDT, 9 hours ago tried to withdraw it and got a KYC request from them. I uploaded pictures of my drivers licence, selfie, name, address and phone number. I didn't write them anything about that and decided to wait. Now 9 hours later my account is verified and made another withdraw to Binance and it also arrived. So I would not say that Hitbtc is a scam.

What are the HitBTC receiver account details?

I am trying to withdraw a small amount of XRP from HitBTC, and this withdrawal was refused (my own XRP refused to me); I suspect it is due to the fact that I have not filled out the lenghty KYC form they ask of me.

I will never anymore fill out these long KYC forms. It takes like 1-2 hours, and then the exchange gets hacked or closes down and I end up having done this for nothing. Also, I do not trust HitBTC with my personal info.

I will keep you posted about this problem; if I dont get my money I plan on spending the 2 hours it would take me to fill out the KYC to instead run a negative campaign about them across all crypto forums.

This also brings back the old truth: Never trust exchanges, don't leave coin there: one way or another you will lose it.

Definitely a scam. Have been dealing with a Daniella Wagner for 21 days. Have provided everything asked for with exception of a wallet that I made some deposits from over 2 years ago because I no longer use or have access to those apps, however I AM logging in from same IP address and am communicating from them via the same protonmail address I used initially, and they are denying that I am, outright. Also, it's about $400.00 USD worth, was about $500 21 days ago, and they're demanding government ID when they never asked for this initially or when I made a deposit.

Dear JMPT, can you please provide us with a ticket number? We need it to find your case in the system, thanks in advance!

I have used HitBTC in the past without any issues but I've seen a large amount of complaints about funds being held hostage. After seeing what kind of hoops people had to jump through I moved to a different exchange.

Anyone with common sense and half a brain know that giving them government ID now wouldn't vet anything because they have nothing to compare to. They have email and IP.

Why would they need government ID.

I don't know who they are, they don't need to know who I am.

So they have my coins and want my ID.

The only logical conclusion is identity theft and scam.

Prove me wrong.

HitBTC is a known SCAM and is stealing peoples funds using the excuse of KYC.

I know people that have a lot of money there and just can't complete the KYC proccess and withdraw their funds, it's like they want a picture of your birth, documents that don't exist.

I posted a simple question about this in their telegram group and in 10 seconds my message was deleted and they ban me.

If you don't consider someone eligible as your client because of KYC issues what you must do is REFUSE them and revert the deposits, that's the only reasonable way of treating this matter, holding people's fund using this false KYC excuse is just ABSURD.

Hope this thieves go to jail ASAP

AGAIN STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAM

I do have issues with them right now - they hold my funds hostage and blocked my withdrawals without any just reason. It seems they are insolvent and try to steal as much funds from people as possible.

Their trolbox is also hostile to any questions regarding solvency and withdrawals, so it further confirms to me that there's something shady going on on HitBTC.

I have the same problem which was happened a few hours ago.

Does anyone have experience for this site (they have pay add on google on 1st search):

Contact the support, complete KYC, and the problem will vanish. That's what I did in my time.

I have used HITBTC without a problem, i usually trade shitcoin for BTC or DOGE and most of the time withdraw DOGE without problem and i never had a problem, never ever had more than 100$ on the exchange.

$100 is hardly any money, be it in crypto or real world grocery shopping so this isn't indicative of anything. If I cannot withdraw an amount which is below their own limit for unverified users i.e. 1 BTC / day, then they are insolvent and/or a SCAM. Either way nobody who values their money should deposit anything on their platform. There are a lot of other more reputable venues to trade on.

Until there is no evidence or at least a convincing investigation, it's all just bla bla bla. I use this exchange, I trade, I withdraw, etc. I've come through KYC once, that wasn't a trouble. I think some people tend to panic when something goes not the way they were planning. That's not the right reason to dismiss the entire platform.
