I advise everyone to stay away from this scam
As far as I use HitBTC, I don't have any complaints other than the fee that is big enough for now. Well, I hope HitBTC can be like it used to be 
Well, I was dealing with them in a cooperative way (business) and was quite amazed how much BTC they ask for simple technical tasks, even with that huge amount of competition in the field, where each and every single exchange should make the utmost and cooperate in best manner with the projects that are listed and/or offer to pay for a listing.
From a private stance I will anyway avoid using them for the ridiculous high fees.
Next please...
Right now, I am one of many people frowning upon the terribly high fees of HitBTC. It so happened that there were specific altcoins in the past which were listed on HitBTC with a not-so-bad volume which were not admitted on other good exchanges. During those days, it was already a huge achievement when a coin is listed on Bittrex and Poloniex. And we all know that getting admitted on those exchanges is as hard as getting admitted to Binance today. That's how I got into HitBTC, and in cryptopia, among others. Until now, I am still doing some small trades in HitBTC and for a few years already I've no serious complaint against them.
But, just the same, I am fully aware of complaints after complaints raised against the exchange. They need to resolve them as soon as possible or else, just like Yobit, their brand is going to be equated with scam/shady.

False. Many users report giving all the requested data and still not receiving their money.
Besides, the KYC/AML procedure is invoked for even the smallest of amounts, like $50. This is not a practice focused on security. It's simply scamming, stalling and as mentioned above, possibly even identity theft.
HitBTC has never even tried to prove the IDs/documents are secured and the KYC requests are in any meaningful way justified. It's clear from all the complaints that a lot of users were directly harmed by the exchange and its affiliates. HitBTC is an unscrupulous and shady exchange. Avoid it like a plague.
Security precautions taken by HitBTC in the verification process are designed to prevent international money laundering and fraudulent schemes, which is a common practice for a financial institution. Most traders have absolutely no trouble passing the KYC.
Why are the complaints piling up? Why were these complaints not happening a couple of years ago at this pace? HitBTC has only itself to blame for its demise and disastrous reputation.
It is a trend commonly used by exchanges to freeze accounts under the guise of false pretexts ("KYC", "unusual activity", "hack"... ) just to steal user funds or just to buy time so they can get the funds in place and then un-block the user account again.
I still remember in a year back of 2017 when I was new in trading at HitBTC exchange site. And this is the first trading exchange that I used at that time. So far, I never experience any difficulties and didn't face any troubles until I stopped and withdraw my fund earlier in the year of 2018. But now, I saw that HitBTC is plagued with complaints. So, my guess is better to stay away on this exchange.

Sadly they are getting huge numbers of complaints about the same thing as they are doing to you.
Their reputation is in tatters. Not long before the authorities shut them down or maybe they will run off with user funds with an exit strategy before that happens.
Sometimes, I am confused where to deposit and do the trade because all of them are problematic in a way.

Indeed, HitBTC is plagued with complaints. However, all the exchanges that I have been using have also their own shares of complaints. I mean, which exchange is clean? I used to be a loyal user of Bittrex and Poloniex and cryptopia. They used to be excellent and then people began annoyed with them due to various problems. Cryptopia even died. And then I jumped into the bandwagon and opened a Binance account only to read news later on that several millions of USD have been hacked from them followed by the KYC leak.

Next time, you won't have to search for all those accusations, as you may find the compilation here!

A locked thread of "all scams" that doesn't include Yobit & multiple other scam exchanges is not a list of all scam exchanges.
Unlock it & complete it.
What do you really think I'm doing every 2-3 days? I'm trying to complete it ASAP by compiling the accusations of each exchange every 2-3 days, and you're no one to "order me" to do that. If you think that you can do it in a faster manner, then eff off and make your own thread.
Don't get me wrong, what you're doing is great work, it just looked a bit strange that you omitted probably the biggest & well known scam exchange while listing other exchanges with only one scam accusation against it - but I see that you have now added Yobit to it so fair play to you.
I have a list of other scam exchanges in my sig - feel free to check those ones out as well.
Sorry if I offended you, it was not my intention.
No worries mate.
I'll try to speed things up and compile the Scam Accusations of major exchanges ASAP.

Our exchange is among the oldest in existence and is operating since 2013. We have never lost a satoshi of our traders' funds - we have to take the risk of our security measures being temporarily uncomfortable, because safety, security, and integrity are our top priorities.
BS. I suggest you tell that to all the victims who's scam accusations you have ignored since day one:
