Topic: Scam ads on Bitget (Read 314 times)

So technically the scam feature wasn't available on Binance exchange that makes it stand out from the rest of them. The floating price could have been a means of merchants giving their potential customers different options to choose from to trade with but on this other exchanges scamming are exploiting the feature for their selfish benefits.

For those using those platforms, have you tried reporting this to their customer care maybe they don't know about this flaw and if you guys report it they will fix it. Sha na una sabi to dey patronize all this platforms wey no dey take the safety of their customers serious. Still I dey talk am say instead of patronising centralized P2P exchange make una look for local trusted merchant and patronize to enjoy real Naira P2P trading.

Not refering to registration, I meant verification. The user was also able to register but wasn't allowed to verify his account as seen below.

Binance has floating price but if the the ad owner change the price before the order is opened, it will always take you back to the lists of available ads to choose another ads, instead of asking you to proceed. This is how it is on the centralized exchange that I am using now also. So I will say Binance was not having the scam feature.

I was able to get registered on Bitget the day I created this topic.

I doubt if this was available on Binance when it was still allowing Naira P2P.

Bitget belike e no dey allow Nigerians to verify their account again because the last person wey register been updated me say verification dey suspended when him try verify him identity.

Sorry for your loss and I had been using Bitget recently but haven't had this experience but precautions are always necessary and I am bit shocked to see how these traders can change the price and I think there needs to be a system which should notify us if price changes and should proceed only post our confirmation like it happens in Binance as this is the biggest loophole and guess what it's your own countrymen cheating you.

This topic is similar to the one raised by rachael9385 in this post with the only difference being that her experience was in Kucoin whereas yours is in Bitget.

If you need an exchange for P2P, Bitget is the worst one that you can go to. Do not be lured with high price. If you are looking for a better centralized P2P exchange, there is one that remains among the common ones that I have told you people before but I will no more mention it because I do not know who is reading this post right now but I believe you people will easily understand

This is exactly what happened to me this evening at bidget. I sent 32 USDT from another exchange to bitget account which was reduced to $28.67which I was angry about it, secondly I saw #1500+  when I placed the Oder I didn't see that the price has changed from #1500+ to #1370. I have initiated the the Oder before I saw the price. The guy quikly send me #39k instead of the #43k I initially saw. i replied him that am not happy about the deal. he just said I initiated the deal I had no option than to release asset but I told him I will tell my friends to be careful with him on bitget. below is our conversation


So I have learnt my lesson today, and I will be vigilant next time.

This topic is similar to the one raised by rachael9385 in this post with the only difference being that her experience was in Kucoin whereas yours is in Bitget. I think what happened here is that they publish the ads with good offers but during execution, the offers are adjusted. It is a deliberate attempt to scam people because those who did not calculated what they are expected to get will easily continue with the transaction and get under paid.

I have had the urge to open account in Bitget but somehow I end up not continuing. Perhaps it is because I had doubt about their reputation even though there was no reason to justify that. It's just a shame what the Nigerian government is making their citizens go through just because they want to control inflation even when the percentage of the citizens using cryptocurrency is still low but rapidly growing.

I guess the merchant you traded with was using Floating rate. There are two types of rate when placing an add on any exchange 'Floating rate and Fixed rate' and you were supposed to see a pop message before placing the order which give you the window to decide either to continue with the merchant or not and it's obviously captured in your screenshot with the option to cancel. I have experienced this on a good number of exchanges and I don't see it as scam. It's a good thing you shared cos it has provided an opportunity to enlighten users further.

but there was an ads that it did not warn me but sold at ₦1250. The ads was at ₦1500 when I clicked on it as I was going from higher rates to lower rates, but no warning than the order has been created. Before I know, the buyer has sent me the money and I lost ₦6000.

Go and read the OP before posting. I think you only read the title. What you are saying is clearly seen on the images I posted above. I said I was testing it and going from higher to lower USD/NGN rate until I was unable to see the change of the rate. You do not need to defend what is wrong. If you are truly using Binance and other P2P exchanges, they will not allow you to go for the ads that the rate has been changed but to check for other ads. If you like, tell people that you like to use Bitget and let them be selling at low price.

I dont like being drawn to arguement like this but will freely tell you that I have been using their p2p for quite some time and more often after Binance removed NGN. Like i said in my earlier response " there is usually a pop up message that gives you a window to cancel or continue with the order", I am not sure if saw that pop message but that's how it has been and i think it's similar to that of Binance when NGN p2p was still active.

Do you have a Bitget account and have tried crypto/naira P2P there? I have used over 10 exchanges just for P2P before. Go to Bitget and understand what I am talking about than to disagree with my what I said about Bitget. The exchange is full of scamming ads as a result of poor rate algorithm the exchange is using. I have seen people that used floating rate on other exchanges like Binance, Bitget etc cetera. If the price changes, the exchange will take you to the exchange P2P page to select another offer.

I have experienced this on a good number of exchanges and I don't see it as scam.

If you need an exchange for P2P, Bitget is the worst one that you can go to. Do not be lured with high price. If you are looking for a better centralized P2P exchange, there is one that remains among the common ones that I have told you people before but I will no more mention it because I do not know who is reading this post right now but I believe you people will easily understand.

I have not seen a scam centralized crypto P2P like Bitget. It is the worst that I have tested so far. I intentionally moved $30 worth of coins from Bybit to test how P2P is on Bitget because I have not used it before. I like experimenting. I could have exchanged it around ₦1450 which amounts to ₦43500, but I was paid ₦37500. That is ₦6000 scam.


What happened

The ads are easily changing after you clicked on it. These are examples:

   


I can not be so stupid to go for that low prices but there was an ads that it did not warn me but sold at ₦1250. The ads was at ₦1500 when I clicked on it as I was going from higher rates to lower rates, but no warning than the order has been created. Before I know, the buyer has sent me the money and I lost ₦6000.

If not because of that, I wanted to try ₦1450 and slightly lower prices but the coin I was using for the testing has been sold for naira in a way that I do not like. I got no coins there again. But I think even other ads will be like that. Bitget is a scam centralized exchange for P2P. Tell people to avoid the exchange. It is full of scammers if it is crypto/naira P2P.

Already I knew that scams like this will arise after the government delisted the naira from performing p2p on some reputable exchanges like binance and even before kucoin suspended their naira p2p operations in their exchange there use to be similar scam where a merchant will broadcast a price rate but when about to confirm the transaction it automatically changes and if you are too fast you will just end up falling victim so we just need to be careful on this exchanges we are moving to now because a lot of them are filled with scammers.
