Topic: HitBTC scam! - page 9. (Read 24650 times)

I also just realized about my HITBTC account, I just withdrawn a coin from HITBTC to another exchange site and I was shocked how much they have got out of my coin. I know there is a fee for every transaction because that's given already but how come I the fee doubled up when I transfer it to the other exchange site? I think most of the accusations here are true because I never expected I'd also experience the same scenario some are experiencing as well, and they should do something about it asap.

Hi.

This is crazy how many there are experiencing problems with HitBTC. I have also have my CND tokens stuck with them for 3 month now. and it is not a small amount either. So yesterday i write to Cindicators official support, to get there opinion on the matter and they responded:
Thank you for contacting Cindicator Support,
First of all we are not listed on HitBTC, This listing is not official, you can only blame yourself for trading CND Tokens there.

This came as a shock to me, that an exchange can list a token/coin for over 3 months without the companys approvel. And also how lightly cindicator took it. It should be in there interest to get there token/coin removed from HitBTC.
Instead of trying to sue them. we should all contact the companies of the coins we are having problems with on HitBTC. If we just get one company to take action, I think the rest will follow or at least make the media aware of it. I would like to hear if anybody else has have problems with the same token as me(CND) on HitBTC. I really like what you all are trying to achieve, but I think if we could get some or just one of the companies involved, we would be better of. Sorry for the long rant. But you guys now how frustrating it is. Keep spreading the truth about HitBTC.

I am not sure why this thread is getting so many responses in negative ways because I'm using hitbtc since long and daily basis but there is no such issue arising with me. Yesterday only I traded my ETH with BTC and played along with other coins for the margin trades. I was even successful while making withdrawal despite the thing that hitbtc had some issues with its withdrawal process. Though the notice was published as precautionary thing I did proceed with my withdrawal and gotten the money instantly into my wallet.

You guys need to check whether you are on the right exchanger or not. Lol. The hitbtc is working just fine for me!

Any news on recent withdrawals? Has anyone been successful?

I have the same problem as yours, my withdrawals didn't went through and then I have to call the attention of their support and says that they are going to look at it but it took them 3 weeks to finally send me the funds in my wallets which I lost substantial amount already because I wasn't able to trade in it time.

I'm really disappointed that's why I took everything and try other exchanges. Bad experience for me.

I had only one question - who these people, those trading on this scam shit? It has good volumes, who they are

A month ago I had some problems with my withdrawals, didn't went through for some reason, but got fixed on it self.
I have had a support ticket opened back then, and believe it or not, I just got a reply!
After more than a month.

It was 20 days
I bought too many tickets to get the markers.

I was going to ask for help from the online admin.
He banned me as if he were kidding.


 

I was about to open an account there.

Thanks for this feedback.

Congrate HitBTC finally fix TRX issue.

Fund in my account now after 13days. I hope it happens to other TRX holder as well.

WIth other coins i am not too sure.

Good luck to all

I was also following this exchange and was almost thought of opening the account here and by then the lot of complaints started pouring in which just made me alert and postponed my account opening here . Thus from then I have not got much positive feedback and now I am not going to open here . Hope your issue is resolved soon .

Hi guys ,

The markers are not taking part in the account for 12 days. TRX Token

I have opened a lot of tickets, yet there is no answer.

Also;

where are the icons I sent Token Balance:   49,356.56594747 STORM

I by default don't trust any altcoin exchange listing for the major part only shitcoins, and neither should other people do. If you think an exchange with a pretty mixed reputation since its existence is a good place to trade and store coins (yes, there are fools doing so), you're just a three-dimensional clown with no right of complaining. It's harsh, I know, but the time for friendly reminders is no longer applicable. Friendly words don't seem to have any impact whatsoever, so it has to be pointed out in a less friendly way to make an important point stand out and gain weight. There are so many capable exchanges to choose from, why do people so badly want an incompetent exchange that lists loads and loads shitcoins?

Even so, let's say I'm lying. In general. Would you trust a company that generates new complaints as fast as it lists new coins, while it doesn't respond to those complaints, and has moved to Hong Kong so that if you have a legal issue with them, you would have to fly to Hong Kong? Seems legit.

It's worth thinking about the intentions that are behind this.

There's a lot of delay and complaints about transactions and funds if you check out some forums. Yet HitBtc keeps on listing new coins, as the one in the quote above, and continues doing this. So apparently there is communication between HitBtc and several ICO/coin teams, while there is very very few communication about complaints regarding their service. This hasn't changed and they actually never ever even opened up a job offer for that. They "have" a few communications/marketing officers, but I'll bet they can't help you at all.

Not only Hitbtc, there are many exchange taking lot of transaction fee while trading and withdrawing from the exchanges. I think few people are facing some problems with the deposits and withdrawal, I think hitbtc support system should improve inorder to get solve tickets as soon as possible.

So any update with this shit? We lost our money? 

Maybe a small fundraiser so that someone can file a complaint to the Hong Kong authorities (here: LINK) and has the means to actually go there to settle the dispute.

e.g. a plane ticket, legal counsil, international council, Hong Kong council, and whatever, for one or several parties of interest (users) that have a plausible case.

me no customer

Can you enable your PB inbox to receive a message from a newbie?

That's odd because there is no documentation listing any employees  

The previous owners (director and major shareholders) did the right thing by getting rid of this exchange. The company with which they originally started before getting into this nonsense still runs smoothly, and is far less confusing when following the data/paper trail. By taking a quick peek in the UK company registers (company nr 08730592) it seems this is a nice up and running company; it earns money, the filed documents add up, it earns money, the financial situation is filed, it earns money, and most importantly they don't hide anywhere that this is their company, in fact they show themselves on the website.

The fact that they actually run a company in the crypto market that earns them free income for some years already implies that the need of hosting an illegitimate exchange on the side isn't actually there. Getting involved with HitBtc might in the end even work against them.

It is probable that the situation of HitBtc in the UK (that is until March 6 2017, documents: Application to strike the company off the register) was as followed:

- Crime boss smells money
- Crime boss wants crypto currency exchange platform
- Crime boss pays someone to sign the paperwork  
- That someone pretends to be the owner
- Company runs for up to <2 years and dissolves because of inactivity or files a request to dissolve

and the cycle starts over.. and the crime boss can be anyone and will of course never be found.


edit: <2 years btw because that is the maximum amount of time you can evade a government tax bureau
