They are owned by the same owner, coinsbit and p2pb2b

I answered below to one of ther puppets on page 149 from https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/an-coinsbitio-innovative-trading-cryptosystem-5185065

Be AWARE of those scam Exchanges!



Indeed everyone likes the way you bark, well i didnt see a lawyer yet, means you dont have any grounds, however evidence will be shared to protect others, within a couple days! And already enough statements and evidences are provided, you dont own the world, and the tone of voice you using is far from respected!

I would first google the words you use, as when you use them it is meaningless.

Ohw by the way, other project that did by you IEO published openly that you Coinsbit stole its money and that they filed in a report. I can share it as it was posted publicly and not private, so am i really the only ONE, don't think so.

So here are some teasers for you (Full teaser will posted soon) to share with your lawyers Smiley they gadly tell you that you are ...... well that you scammed people, and obviously made a big mistake as many that you did by breaching the terms of the contract, unfair trade practices, already having reports upon Coinsbit, not had license and not informed your client of this, and trading without license making yourself eligable to be sue yourself for criminal act!

So here are the links with screenshots of enough evidence (There is more) for you to share with your lawyers, I am happy to be contacted by them.

1: breach of contract by Coinsbit
2: other project that stated that Coinsbit stole the money
3: fraud by market manipulation (second criminal act what makes it able to trace everyone from Coinsbit even after they announce themself bankrupt) you can check with your big lawyer, proof of the trades that not correspondence with the amount in roulation, calculation you can make by yourself smartie.
4: Third criminal act using my tokens to gain profit without informing me.
5: Fourth criminal act not paying me the amount for its circulation

And many more info to share Soon!

So now you can show your evidence that Coinsbit is so professional and will become the next Binance!

p2pb2b and all other scam exchanges operated by the same group should not be allowed to use this forum to spread their propaganda. As members who have been around here longer than newbies we owe it to any user that might be fooled by them to continuously highlight the scams that whitebit exchange, coinsbit exchange and p2pb2b exchange and others are carrying out.

Did not know that Coinsbit and P2PB2B are run by the same people and company. Wow.

Bloody scammers!

I'm using P2P frequently and never had problem with it. Deposits, withdrawals buying crypto with debitcard all works fine.

You just posted the exact same message in 6 different threads... You even dug up some threads that had been dead for months. Wonder why that is.

Pathetic lies from the scammers... You have to laugh at the figures they are now claiming to achieve  !!!


The scammers that own coinsbit and p2pb2b now claim they trade over $715 MILLION volume a day !!

That means they claim to trade over $260 BILLION volume a year !!





WOW !!

Even the scammers have to astronomical lengths to try to scam newbies and gullible investors  Grin Grin

They are pathetic disgusting thieves. Their p2pb2b scam has unravelled but they continue to play ignorant by saying coinsbit and p2pb2b are different companies owned by different people.

We all know coinsbit is owned by the same scammer and they have one aim only and that is to scam as much as they can before exiting after stealing from their customers.

It's frustrating, because they can scam you, and there's nothing I can do
I gave my money for lost

Participate in the launch of a coin called Cyprus coin, and when the withdrawals closed the cypruscoin developers issued this statement

Read response from p2pb2b.io

https://medium.com/@cypruscoinclub/p2pb2b-io-withdrawal-warning-f67706075967



Reading what is stated in that link, it seems the coinsbit and p2pb2b team tried to extort money from the cypruscoin team. Effectively seems like coinsbit and p2pb2b owners tried blackmailing the cypruscoin team:
https://medium.com/@cypruscoinclub/p2pb2b-io-withdrawal-warning-f67706075967

What concerns me is why a project would choose either coinsbit or p2pb2b when there are other alternatives to list coins and tokens on? A simple search online will bring up plenty of results to show these two scam exchanges are not to be trusted.

Maybe is time to unite forces and send request to coinmarketcap to issue a warning about this exchange.

- Blocking accounts.
- Stealing coins.
- Running other scam exchanges (coinsbit)
- Removing the support chat.
- Washing volume.
- Stealing coins from coin developers.


There is enough proof to back any claim.

Good afternoon.

As Mr. Dopey mentioned in the topic-starting post, the withdrawal request was freezed due to divergence between the withdrawal amount and our financial records.  P2PB2B Security Service has initiated an investigation on this matter - unfortunately, we found that amount of THC, which was sold to this user was acquired in a non-legal way by the seller. Therefore, we rolled back the first deal of Mr. Dopey with the seller on July 9, 2019 and today we performed the same procedure with the other deals.  The assets, which Mr. Dopey spent during these deals were fully returned to the main balance and ready for withdrawal at any time.

We deeply regret that this incident occurred and acknowledge the difficulties that have been caused.

This is a complete lie and I am completely shocked that you would make this public statement.

I deposited btc onto your exchange and bought 2.6 million hempcoin over a month and a half ago. I was not allowed to withdraw these funds, and asked for support for over a month.

It was discovered that your team made a mistake and sent free hempcoins to users around 3-4 months ago (nothing to do with me) and were not able to cover legitimate trades like my own and your solution is to pretend that some sort of fraud took place?  You instead fully lie and say that these coins were "acquired in a non-legal way"Huh  What the hell are you talking about? You made a tech error, it was your mistake and fault, nothing illegal?Huh

Your solution is to completely roll back all of my trades on p2p2b2 from over a month ago and just refund me my btc?? The price is already 3 times what I bought my coins for?Huh

I lost tens of thousands of dollars because of these actions and your fraudulent behavior. Do not use P2PB2B, you will get scammed. They are technically incompetent and will steal your money and provide you with 0 support.

They are listing every garbage project as quickly as they possibly can and collecting BTC while offering "market-making" for new projects, which is wash trading and 100% illegal, how do I know? Because I was in discussion with them about listing our coin several months ago and was offered this service.

This exchange has all of the signs of being a cash grab and are set up with a Belize and Seychelles infrastructure ready to run away when the time is right.

I challenge you P2PB2B to respond to these allegations and provide the community with a detailed account of your version of events. Lying and pretending that some sort of fraud took place instead of admitting that you had a tech error is 100% bogus and any attempt to continue along this narrative will be met with additional evidence.

I know you sent emails to people who received free Hempcoins because of your technical error demanding they return funds or you would block their account or take from existing balances and I know about the conversations you had trying to buy 5 million coins on a side deal to fix your mistake. Now you're saying there was some sort of fraud? Why are you not telling the truth?

Awaiting your response...




Well let us see what the Coinsbit and p2pb2b scammers have to say about this.

They have lost the public relations battle, they have been humiliated. Their plans to use p2pb2b and Coinsbit to steal funds from investors has been exposed.

They are a scam; I alerted several of the "trust" providers like coinmarketcap.com, Aaron is doing what he can to go above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that they don't harm anyone else.

My name is CowboyKen from ArDax.com.ar and I am a real person.  I have a little personal mission to clean up the space before bitcoin really gets moving later this year.

Yes you are right, they have been exposed as a scam. p2pb2b are scammers.

Even their sister company Coinsbit which uses an identical website template has also been exposed and they are going all out to spread propaganda and generate fake buzz in the hope to scam users.

Looking at his github page:

..it appears he cloned the ViaBTC exchange repo last year - so maybe he's just re-branded it in several versions/names & is throwing up these different exchanges for hoovering up user funds?.....

ViaBTC exchange is now trading as coinex.com - at least that's where clicking the link on the viabtc.com exchange button takes you (bottom of page).

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/coinsbitio-cryptocurrency-exchange-official-thread-4971628

Lots of info there, well worth a read.

Another Russian scam exchange.


COINSBIT and P2PB2B = SCAM


Yes P2PB2B finally admitted the "were" connected to the Coinsbit scammers because they "shared" the same developer team in the early days: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51834549

I posted these too:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51853699
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51865201

You will notice the "thank you for getting in touch" and "feel free to ask if you have more questions" politeness has changed to "You let everyone know that you're manipulator and the chief source of fud but it isn't really a problem for anonymous, right?". They were never going to keep up the nice-nice mask forever...  Roll Eyes





Their "headquarter" is a mailing-address-for-hire that has 801 "companies" doing the same thing by pretending they have an office and business in a prestigious part of London, UK:
https://suite.endole.co.uk/explorer/postcode/w1u-6tu


Both Coinsbit and P2PB2B amazingly use the same software and "shared" the same team yet still make identical updates to their websites at the same time.

Amazingly they have a 24/7 support team that are fluent in the following languages: English, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, Russian, Indonesian, Spanish, German in that order ! (P2PB2B also added Korean) yet claim they are not connected.





Coinsbit claim they trade over $30 BILLION a year, or $84 million per day
P2PB2B  claim they trade over $60 BILLION a year, or $167 million per day

Beware of so-called b2bp2p scam exchange.

https://p2pb2b.io

They will steal your money.

Today I decide to give a try to this service. After the registration I tried to deposit some money and found that there's minimum amount requirement.

Ok, the minimum is 50 Sem so I transfer exactly 50 Sem to the address provided by b2bp2p.

P2PB2B generated my deposit address as 0x3ced649fbbce02397bdc7edfaf87bc12ac6eafa4

Go check the records:

https://semux.info/explorer/account/0x3ced649fbbce02397bdc7edfaf87bc12ac6eafa4

12:42:06, 17 Jul 2019 0x3ced649fbbce02397bdc7edfaf87bc12ac6eafa4 50 SEM arrived.

a minute later at 12:43:02, 17 Jul 2019 scammers took my money from my deposit and sent 'em to unknown address 0x0bf9e08ec7f34fd2f9b503a132915b1880cba7f7

Voila! No money in my wallet. Where they're? On the unknown account.

Did my deposit address got 50 sem? YES
Did I asked to play with my money to send 'em between wallets? NO
Was I warned that scammers gonna play with my money thus they need more sem to pay the fee for their games? NO
Have I lost my entire deposit according to scammers' logic. YES
Should I label P2PB2B as scammers? The answer is obvious.

Well, the snapshot and migration to Komodo are now completed and I was never sent my coins from P2PB2B. Literally tried to withdraw for 3 weeks in anticipation of the snapshot and the only support I received from their end was "please wait, don't open another ticket" for 3 weeks.

Due to the complete technical incompetence of P2PB2B in combination with their non-existent customer support and zero public statements made about this incident I have just lost 2.6 MILLION (1% of the entire currency).

P2PB2B is a scam and they have still not addressed, fixed, or made a statement about this matter.

Anyway, although you didn't really mention what you meant by washtrading except to mention it in your title, i do think you're right. Their traffic rankings are  almost *exponentially* lower than all of their competitors, yet they sometimes have twice the volume.

Yes, this is evident without even having to dig very deep.

Yeah, I've been warning about this P2PB2B outfit for months in my sig - their crazy volumes are the worst fake numbers I've ever seen. I read elsewhere on this forum that their software is an exact clone of another exchange & that both are owned/run by the same people, I can't remember the thread, but if I find it again I'll post a link.

At least you got your BTC back though, not that it excuses their incompetence. A damn shady exchange all round & well worth staying clear of.

To then lie to your users and try to cover your mistake instead of taking responsibility for your actions is shameful and it is no wonder they are using a Belize and Seychelles setup for the incorporation of their business. Only companies looking to avoid lawsuits or legal action would set up this type of infrastructure.
Not necessarily. They're in general simply useful for businesses who don't want to abide every law/regulation that the US/EU shits out.

30% of their traffic is referral of which another 50% is from faucets. That must definitely inflate their traffic stats as well.

I did receive my BTC back for this reversed trade and immediately withdrew it from this exchange for obvious reasons. The issue is that because of P2PB2B not being able to solve this problem or even disclose it for weeks, Hempcoin is actually waiting on them to enable and execute withdrawals in order to migrate to the Komodo platform and perform their swap.

It will not matter to them that I executed this trade about 3 weeks ago in preparation for this swap and am now left with 0 ability to reacquire this position. That is, unfortunately, my problem and besides the point.

The bigger issue is the fact that they are trying to cover this up and reverse trades from 3 weeks ago to fix a mistake they made a few months ago. There has been no transparency or honesty coming from their end and this alone raises many red flags.

Another issue, many exchanges that get hacked are due to a new coin being introduced with malicious code or some sort of back door programmed in.

If they can't even set up Hempcoin properly and are sending free coins to users, allowing users to withdraw and spend these coins, mixing this whole mess in with legitimate trades and transactions, reversing trades from weeks ago, blocking, banning, and lying to "customers" to cover it up...  

How safe are your holdings with this company?

With the number of coins they are signing up on a daily basis, apparently whoever pays the fee, do you believe they have the technical capability to properly vet these projects and ensure your funds are safe?

I am fairly certain in the next couple of days/weeks I will see the rest of my legitimate trades reversed from 3 weeks ago and anticipate losing my entire position on this trade which again was 2.6 million (1% of the circulating supply).

Terrible experience with these guys.

Did you get your BTC back? I.e. are you able to withdraw, not just see it in your account?

After a more thorough investigation with other Hempcoin users, it appears that this may be a matter of technical incompetence that has put users funds at risk.

From what I have seen it appears that P2PB2B made a technical error with regards to the staking feature and have been sending free Hempcoins to users. Some of these users withdrew their free coins or sold them for BTC and now due to complete incompetence on their end they do not have the balance to cover legitimate pending withdrawals.

Instead of eating these losses due to their own incompetent tech team, they have decided to rollback legitimate trades from parties not involved in this tech error and canceling their orders from 2.5 weeks ago.

Additionally, instead of admitting their mistake, they have pretended that a fraudulent transaction took place. Here is their response to my support ticket.

"One of your buy orders from 2019-06-14 20:27:17 THC_BTC amounting to 565 343 THC was reverted in order to help you to avoid any financial losses. We discovered that THC`s, which the seller sold you during this deal, were obtained in a result of fraud. The amount of BTC you spent for this deal was credited to your account."

A quick check of any Hempcoin holders deposit history on P2PB2B will clearly show free coins being deposited over the last few months (appears to be from May 20th to June 2nd) and will look something like this.

To display this level of technical incompetence is a massive issue itself for any exchange.

To then lie to your users and try to cover your mistake instead of taking responsibility for your actions is shameful and it is no wonder they are using a Belize and Seychelles setup for the incorporation of their business. Only companies looking to avoid lawsuits or legal action would set up this type of infrastructure.

P2PB2B are incompetent from a technical and security standpoint and also lack the integrity and business ethics to handle other peoples money in my opinion.

To clarify* My account was never sent any free Hempcoins and my trades and attempted withdrawal are 100% legitimate and accurate. I did not even create an account with P2PB2B until June 12th and have nothing to do with these technical issues.

I recently purchased a large amount of Hempcoin from P2PB2B and after trying to withdraw from my fully verified account and after successfully sending a 600 Hempcoin test transaction, I tried to withdraw my remaining balance.

The number of coins I tried to withdraw was 2.6 million (1% of the entire circulating supply)

This withdraw was delayed and showed a status of needing withdrawal from the cold wallet. This was on the 28th of June.

After waiting patiently for 3 days I contacted them through tickets, live help, and Telegram. They kept sending me the same reply on all channels "please wait". I waited another 24 hours and contacted them again, they reacted by blocking me on Telegram and disabling my ability to contact them through live help.

I reached out to Hempcoin developers, who I have known for years and work closely with, and I was informed that he was also facing a similar problem and could not withdraw his coins either.

P2PB2B then took the Hempcoin wallet offline and disabled deposits and withdrawals.

After waiting nearly two weeks I log in today to check my balance and 600k coins are missing from my balance and I receive an email saying "Hello. Due to the discovery of the sale of unauthorized coins, one of your purchase transactions in the pair THC_BTC was rolled back."

I have been a coin dev since 2014 and have had trading accounts with many of the most popular exchanges. I have never had a withdrawal delayed for 2 weeks and never had trades that I made rolled back by an exchange because they don't have the balance to cover their trades.

I am accusing this exchange of theft, wash trading, and selling assets that they do not even own. Has anyone else experienced issues with this criminal operation?

Additionally, I encourage you to leave a negative trust if you also feel this exchange and these individuals are a risk to the community. - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=2509426
