This company is trying to scam me. I have sent valid dated identification and there just automatically denying it. Over and over. I have the same email the same 2fa key and everything. I went today to bmv just to get a new license print out which is a paper they give while they send the card, that is valid information. As stated on there site, it must be valid within 3 months old and i got the document today. I even had my wife verify. Not only this but, they have all my money including what I feed my kids with. There making users like me think twice about using crypto anymore in substitute for hard cash. I get paid in crypto I decided to swap it out and with no warning 2 minute after I deposit, I go to withdraw and get a error. They say i need to do kyc which i sent all valid documents even my old license was still valid till December 1st because of the covid. But I provided all legal and valid documents. They keep not answering through email support or anything. They kick me out of there telegram group because i ask questions because im worried about my money.. This is ridiculous. I'm sure they know who I am I have about 70 tickets in because they keep not doing anything for me after a day or so. I also submitted all my proof in a ticket and they won't answer so I'm going to post the ticket in here I did on another email which in it links my information to my account. Ticket#595361 let alone the other tickets they don't care to answer. How can you hold my money when I gave you proper identification that is not expired. Even the temporary ID shows the valid date. I want my money. You guys are creating hardship in my family and don't care about it. I will post proof here along with all there replies. If its OK to post my id here I'll do that too just so they know they are doing stuff wrong. Even the paper print out is stamped and says it must be carried and used for identification purposes. But as I said my old id was still valid and I sent them the bmv link. They don't care and our doing nothing. There replies and way they treat me is wrong.
Just opened Scam Aquisation untill this issue is fixed because of what there doing is very suspicious. My documents are enough to prove who I am and then some no reason to deny it. I currently keep resubmitted the kyc but there so many documents there I don't know whats going on with them.

The account was blocked on the exchange for no reason. First, they asked to provide identification documents. I provided everything on the second day, filled in all the fields. Several times canceled due to poor quality photos, they said that you need a document in English, well, Provided a passport. Then they canceled the procedure several times for unknown reasons, and now they write that my photo was edited. It got to the point of absurdity. If your exchange does not start moving, then I will start moving, and then everyone will know about your fraud
Bro warnings have been here for long. You should have stopped using them a long time ago. I have used the exchange in the past without incident but after realizing that their withdrawal fees are one of the highest among crypto exchanges plus so many scam accusations. I withdrew all my funds and have never looked back.Most people whose accounts have been blocked have tried to recover their money but the KYC verification procedure seems to be engineered to frustrate the customer so that they just lose hope on recovering the funds.

Another victim here.. My advice is to use a notary signed passport in order to prove the document has not been edited. Anyway, if the amount is higher than the average balances of crypto users it worths fighting for your rights. These thieves have stolen thousands under the scam KYC scheme.

Weird thing just happened the last few days. I verified a withdrawal 2x with 2fa and email confirmation and they did not let the withdrawal go through either time.
are they still alive ?
Over the years, i learnt from HitBtc and Yobit that a damaged reputation isn't an obstacle to keep scamming money from users in different methods.

Hey,
Yes thanx for the interest. I had a meeting with 2 people and my attorney from Ukraine yesterday in The Hague at the Eurojust office. I presented them all my evidence of scamming and of HitBTC hiding behind KYC measures. I also had like 50 people message me to get their story across with their contact info. I printed this all out and handed it over.
Now Eurojust is not a law enforcement agency they only provide judicial co-operation in criminal matters. So they told me they were going to reach out to agencies all around the world in order to start looking to see what they know about this exchange. So they asked me to wait since these matters can take months but they did assure me they were taking it very seriously since there were a lot of complaints about this for years and the fact that they damage realy KYC/AML legislation by taking advance of this and trying to hide behind it. I have good faith in the dutch about this, they really seemed to know the lingo and are taking me serious.
It can take months or even years, I dont know but the wheels of justice are turning!
I highly doubt the suing HitBtc with strong pieces of evidence will be enough to solve the problem efficiently. These guys have prepared the tricky user agreement and they can easily manipulate the T&C in their favor. There are several discussion threads on Reddit about these scammers. Anyway, good luck and pls don't forget to inform us about any update. Yes thanx for the interest.

Do you have any update related to your issue? It has been some time since you last posted in this thread.
Also please for everyone who contacted me. I am doing my best sorting through all the evidence, I did not expect such a response.
Please with everything you guys and girls provided me, also file for a personal data request under GPDR law. This data can assist us greatly in an upcoming legal battle!

I am sorry to read about the problems you had with this scam HitBTC exchange. They have been selectively scamming users for years and like you said they will choose to play games blocking/unblocking accounts to give an air of respectability associated with a bonafide business but they are nothing but scammers.
Hi friends!
I am sorry to admit that, I as well have been scammed by HitBTC for 10 BTC. I have been trying to "verify" my account for 2 years now.
But it is safe to say that they will never release those funds considering the amount involved. Sure they will unfreeze an account with a few $100 here and there in order to legitimize their whole fraud operation but anything larger they will keep locked up in order to hide their insolvency.
But they tide just MIGHT be turning. I have been emailing prosecutors and lawyers all around the world about this case and I have found an attorney from the Ukraine that holds close relations with people at Eurojust in order to combat cybercrime. We have a meeting scheduled in The Hague, Netherlands with Eurojust about this case. The EU is trying to ramp up prosecution of financial crimes and cyber crime so they are keen to listen at this point.
Now my attorney has filed a data inquiry with HitBTC support about my account (which I am sure they will ignore) but I have documented everything from my end as well.
So what do I need? I need proof of other people willing to step forward and tell Eurojust about their account with HitBTC and how they were scammed. If you can physically show up in The Hague even better, otherwise Skype or Zoom can be one too. Please anybody willing to step forward PM or email me to talk about this. Or simply email me your evidence collected of them scamming you together with your contact information.
If there is anybody from Chile, we can use your help too with some translations, they claim to be in Chilean jurisdiction so we are going to ramp up pressure on Chilean prosecutors as well.
If we stand together we can finally get rid of these scammers once and for all!!!!

Hello to everyone,
Its been a long time i didnt log in in my account on HITBTC. Beginning of March i started checking all my exchanges again. I had 2FA security in all of them.
After such long time I forgot that I have changed mobile device so I couldn’t get the 2FA anymore. With every exchange they just sent me a secret code on my personal phone number or an email and my account was fine within few minutes. With HITBTC im exchanging emails from 14 March until today without success. After asking me question about trades and dates that its impossible to remember as i havent logged in for 2 years, they asked for my personal documents, selfie, extra picture with selfie showing their email i received that i provided everything, then they asked for specific dates and transactions that i had no idea. Finally they asked me about the date of the account creation that i provided, after that i informed them about 2 specific coins i have inside and they STILL dont give me access to my account and funds. These guys are scammers that i lost almost a month of my time exchanging emails every day with them.
Anybody who has issues with them can contact me so we can file a complaint to authorities through my lawyer. Its time to stop scammers once and for all.
If Anyone from the moderators wants the emails and everything i can provide to him all the information.
Soon I will upload the emails here also so anybody can judge by himself.
Thank you
These guys have created a digital version of pickpocketing, the withdrawal fees are still have pegged to around $6 for all altcoins. Just curious, what happened later? Did you get your funds back or HitBtc had made a next step towards scamming one more random user who forgot to log in the exchange account for years? A similar situation has happened to me but the locked funds were less than $200, so I just sent the right documents for passing KYC, AML. Its been a long time i didnt log in in my account on HITBTC. Beginning of March i started checking all my exchanges again. I had 2FA security in all of them.

Why would you keep your coins in an exchange thou? This has been preached over an over again "Never keep your coins in an exchange long term", "Not your private key, Not your coins"On top of that, HitBTC is one of the worst old exchanges that still exist, we are seeing complaints about them here week in, week out. Avoid using them Like CoronaVirus.
