Dear community I want to share with you the most important things that you must to know about Bitstamp. As verified user on this platform 2 years . I work with them for this period of time until one day I got mail from support that withdrawals from my account is disabled until I provide more information. Know read very carefully! Unregulated platform by any financial institutions or government start to ask questions regarding my crypto transactions ! On this account never been made deposit by FIAT currency only BTC in and out . Almost 2 weeks I ask to close the account and withdraw my funds that is almost 100k and nothing , Support not answer when you speak with them on the phone everything’s looks normal but money in process till today from day to day time pass and nothing happens. Guys be very careful with them !!! It’s smell like some sort of scam or fraud!! Since when crypto platform in private account ask you to provide list of your company’s !???!!! Later on I will post all questions that they ask you will be shocked!! Any way keep away from this platform because when you do fair trading and want to get your crypto or FIAT money DO NOT WORK WITH THEM

BITSTAMP SCAM!!! BE AWARE!!!
I have just got the "reply". They sold all my coins to a scammers price and want to give me cash to my bank account. I bought many coins to a price of 3900 Euro and didn't want to sell them. They plundered my whole wallet without reason.

It's confirmed BITSTAMP is a scam.
They prey on smaller users and force them to liquidate holdings at a loss. I lost close to 7000usd because of this.

If you are smart you leave this exchange instantly, and put your cryptocurrency in cold storage.

You have been warned.

p.s

I did receive the payment from them, so they "only" stole 60% of my money. Thanks alot bitstamp.

Is Bitstamp a scam?
A friend of mine has had his account suspended for literally no reason while still having a couple hundred euros left in the account. Trying to reach them by email he only got an "it's a matter of internal affairs" response, after which he got 0 response. He contacted them on facebook, he was told to contact them by mail, he did, and again a matter of internal affairs, meaning they explain nothing to them and he can't get his money out.

I gotta admit, I feel kinda shitty seeing how I was the one who told him to use Bitstamp, and because of that I'm now kind of afraid to use the service, lest they block my account for no reason too.

Any advice on what he could do? He even threatened legal action, but again, no response. Others on facebook contacted him to say the same thing happened to them.

Bitstamp SCAM ALERT

Bitstamp terminated account. Money was not returned to anyone, support is not responding.

Bitstamp does not disclose the legitimate reasons for the delay of the money. Bitstamp only ignores the pretensions from all terminated accounts. Bitstamp does not return the money, and nowhere answers, prefers to ignore the discontinued accounts and for a long time does not return ANY money, there are those who did not get the money back within 5 months. In my personal incident, it's 2 months.

Everyone can see the activity of /u/Bitstamp-Domen on Reddit, only not in the topic of terminated accounts! Why is that? Have you stolen all this money or do you have any explanations and LEGAL requirements for confiscation, arrest of money and so on? it's time to respond. You do not refute publicly your actions and keep money. It is not for me alone to be interested in knowing the LEGAL reasons for not returning the money, and your lie /u/Bitstamp-Domen that is written on Reddit in response to the topics of people to whom you do not return the money and answer. Why do not you have so much time to answer and you do not return the money?

Never trade at Bitstamp. You will be periodically tormented by documents providing even if you have a verified account. If I have known in advance about this bullshit - I would never have go there

Knowledge is public, you just have to look for it - and Bitstamp has been known for years for things like this. Whether they do it on their own or are forced to play detective remains a question.

P.S: Where is Anna Covac? Fired?

If we are to believe her Linkedin profile she is still in Bitstamp. Why do you ask, maybe you have some kind of business proposal for her? Wink

I think that beginners should know about this moronic exchange before putting money there
Every exchange will follow what Bitstamp is doing since financial regulators such as FATF are clamping down on centralized exchanges custodial services. Beginners should understand that they will be required to give up their personal information to these platforms sooner or later if they will use it.

Wow, that's really messed up  Shocked
If I even find it very hard to verified simple KYC procedures rolled out by other exchanges such as just uploading national ID, date of birth and name then Bitstamp's requirements would be over the top for me.

I have seen this kind of KYC verifications with Localbitcoins. Never used it since then.

We should really be prepared for that but for now people could still able to enjoy to have those unverified account benefits in some popular platform where you do have some sufficient limits
There is always a risk of having to complete KYC (or complete additional KYC) on any centralized exchange, even the ones which allow non KYC accounts up to a certain limit. If they decide you are trading too much, or they don't like a pattern of trades you make, or they don't like where your deposits are coming from, or they don't like where your withdrawals are going, or any number of other undisclosed reasons, then your account can be frozen and KYC demanded. If you don't want to complete KYC, then you can wave goodbye to your coins. The only way to be sure of avoiding KYC is to avoid the centralized exchanges which demand it.

It amazes me with what impudence Bitstamp extort the personal data that I have already provided them at KYC verification.
Data is a valuable commodity. Just look at how many billions of dollars Facebook have made by selling individuals' information. The worrying thing is how Bitstamp are permitted to share/sell your data with pretty much anyone they like:

We may share Personal Data with third parties to help us with our marketing and promotional projects, or sending marketing communications.
We may also share your information with certain contractors or Service providers. They may process your Personal Data for us, for example, if we use a marketing agency. Other recipients/Service providers include advertising agencies, IT specialists, database providers, backup and disaster recovery specialists, email providers or outsourced call centres.

However, this will soon become the reality of every centralized exchange. The reason they do this is because if they don't, they will not be allowed to operate in certain jurisdictions or they will be shut down altogether. Unfortunately, the majority of bitcoin users seems more than happy to sacrifice every tiny shred of privacy they have and let these companies monitoring everything they do. And as long as these people keep using these terrible exchanges and letting them turn a profit, these exchanges will continue to invade your privacy more and more.

The only way to be sure of avoiding this ridiculous KYC is to avoid centralized exchanges altogether and trade on decentralized, peer to peer platforms.
We should really be prepared for that but for now people could still able to enjoy to have those unverified account benefits in some popular platform where you do have some sufficient limits
on daily basis without needing on exposing off your your identity or giving out your personal information but i wont be surprised that one day those good old days would
definitely be changing up with something mandatory KYC for you to proceed on.

No one could ever know on what would happen ahead and this isnt only limited to Bitstamp but also with other exchange as well where chances or possibility is always there.

@OP, do you have funds stuck on that exchange?If none, then its no worth on complying something.

It's been known for a while that Bitstamp are right up there with Coinbase when it comes to invading the privacy of their users. They constantly push the most invasive KYC imaginable, including requiring Dutch users to prove ownership of their own wallets and addresses prior to being allowed to withdraw. Do you currently have funds in your account that they are ransoming for your KYC information?
