My Account was blocked after some withdraws. Some weeks ago they sent email to complete KYC. but had the bot mails during the next time they refused to accept my documents proving my place of living without any explanations. there passed more then a month when my account was blocked and all orders were reset...
after some appeals in telegram the support team confirmed my third document provinf place of living and the KYC form was completed and fixed in position without editing. the support team asked to have a session in Skype. but the only thing i had possibility to do was introducing myself, showing my ID and write email.
the support team only now had discovered that the name does not match the name of the email!!! I could subscribe it any way - it is not official name, but i have access to it, access to the account on HitBTC, had screenshots of transfers that were made 3 years ago, they asked me to find ... as the result my identificational session by Skype was finished immediately and the support team "asked the actual owner" of MY account and all KYC data was reset!!!
Dear HitBTC Support Team, is the name of an email official document?HuhHuh? I could create an email with different names... for example "[email protected]". Do i need to register HER documents for MY account?Huh?
Is it a reson to refuse me in completing KYC verification?Huh

Can confirm, they are still sketchy and I would not use them if at all possible.
All users are advised to stay away from HitBTC, they still have not been able to move on from the scam allegations.


Really? After 3 weeks no one is talking here of the ongoing DOGE scam on this site? Wallet locked since 16th of April... Probably insolvent with the cold wallet used to have >1B doge in 2018 now under 10M. And price 70% lower than on other exchanges. This exchange will exit scam very soon.
I never heard anything about that. Are you saying all Dogecoin withdrawals have been suspended on HitBTC since 16th April 2021 or have they blocked Dogecoin withdrawals just from your account?

they have locked all doge withdrawals since that day.
On reddit the hitbtc sub is exploding

(and yes on february they also locked my specific account but I must say it was unlocked after a relatively fast kyc)

Bear season or just the beginning
Hi. I have the same situation now. They locked my account for no reason. They requested documents and I quickly provided them. But they do not check them and for several days they have not responded in tickets.

I looked for some information about this exchange and found that in 2019 they already had a similar situation. When they had difficulties with the availability of funds on their accounts, they did not think of anything better than freezing traders' accounts under the guise of KYC requirements.
They unlock my account a few days later and allowed me to withdraw my funds. But I don't trust them like I did before.

2021 and still people trusting this shady exchange. Time to look for new and better exchanges. Newbies you are warned.

The HitBTC scammers were last online in August 2020. I think we might have seen the last of them for a long time to come.

The complaints were piling up against them for a long time but they kept posting here every so often but not they seem to have given up.


Dear Users!

Today we’re proud to announce brand new Bitcoin exchange - HitBTC!

Always ask questions. #StandWithHongKong
How the Hell does the likes of Coinmarketcap and Coingecko list this SCAM Exchange.

Because they accept "payments" (ie,bribe) to do so, it's how they make their money & the reason nobody should trust either of them - they are simply platforms for promoting scams for payment.

Word on the street is its owned by Russian mob. Clearly they are paying people off to keep the scam running.

Correct.

I am sorry to read about another victim. HitBTC have a history of selective scamming users. They seem to use any excuse to withhold funds (as the complaints against them show) but the moral of the story is that they should be avoided at all costs.

Just be careful with any Telegram groups asking for funds. I see this telegram group is starting
to get promoted on the reddit sub too. If they ever ask you about funds or prepayments to
help with your lost hitbtc coins, dont do it.

Tried to log in and change password of my account. A week later someone is accessing again my account. Grin
If you have funds in there, just withdraw all of them and stop using the exchange all together. If your account doesn't get hacked. Then HitBTC will scam you through their stupid KYC policy.

Also reinstall a clean OS on your device and change all login credentials to your sensitive accounts including emails. Someone or some malware is definitely stealing your login information.

Hence lay the danger when dealing with these sorts of outfits. If these types of exchanges do not selectively scam their users directly by withholding funds and freezing accounts then they will always be in a position to sell KYC to criminals all over the web.

A lesson for all reading this post, never ever hand over your personal details such as photo id, signature and bank details to any exchange unless absolutely necessary and only when you select the ones with the best reputation.

Congratulations.

You've successfully given a bunch of Russian scammers that you don't know or where they are based all your personal & private information so that they can defraud & sell it to any criminal they want. Expect your first large withdrawal to be locked or your first large deposit to be stolen in the meantime.

WITHDRAWAL COMPLETED! HOORAY !!!
Well, you are one hell of a lucky chap given that they just left you to withdraw money but then still unlucky to have handed over your KYC documents to the scammers. If I were you, that would be the last time i use HitBTC

So many have been unlucky, like this guy who did everything they asked but still refused to release his money. I am quoting the whole post so that you understand why HitBTC scammers are a pain in the *$$
Hello,
I will tell you about my bad experience with HITBTC where I have loosed all my money when they had locked my account with no reason.
First I have bought an amount of ethereum from a seller that I know, he sent me the amount in my account in HITBTC, I have received the amount, I have exchanged it to bitcoin In HITBTC, next thing I see is that my account is blocked I can’t do any transaction with my account.

I have contacted the support to solve the issue, they asked me to give them my identity and my picture, I sent to them a picture of me holding my passport, they asked me to give them prove of address, I sent to them a picture of that proof, next thing they ask is the payment of the amount received in ethereum; I sent to them screenshots of my PayPal account with the transactions done to pay the seller of ethereum.

After that they demand me to give them the seller identity, I have asked him to give to me because that’s important, he accepted and he sent to me his document identity, I sent to them all documents needed, after that they demanded to give them a paper from a notary to prove that the operation was done in a legal way, I have gone to a notary with the seller, we provided to him all documents and proofs demanded so he can give us a paper to prove that the operation was done in a legal way.

I sent to HITBTC the document signed by the notary, next thing they ask me to give them the authorization to practice to prove that the notary was authorized by the state, i have sent to HITBTC the authorization.

Next thing after that they asked me about the original source of the amount received, I have told them that it was received in many transaction that the seller has given me screenshots of, I sent all this information to HITBTC support, they said that’s alright, everything is good; one last step before unlocking your account is a skype video call, I sent to them my skype account, we’ve fixed a date to the video call, I received the call, I have responded to all theirs questions, I have showed my passport and my face was clear, at the end of the skype video call they told me that they will contact me soon.
The next message I receive from them is that they will not unlock my account and there is no solution to get my account back.
This is my story with HITBTC platform, they took all my money.
