Would you say they are selective scamming customers or simply scamming anybody they could get hold of?

This is a stupid behaviour, soo if you were to try to participate into Binance ico or what they call it now, you would face even bigger issues, like you stay with hope to get some coins while those was over after 70 seconds and you keep with hope to get some coins since you see the coins being sold.(Around 10-20 minutes last the sales usually, the progress because sale is already over)

Guess what binance didnt refund anyone, neither compensated because they had some issue wich logged out all people atleast sounds it had to all... soo this isnt different at all, mistakes happens, now call scam because you havent lucky to participate, if the ico went x12 lower you wouldnt complaint at all.


Bugs happens even at top exchanges, soo yes binance, bitmax, soo what they are doing their best to list good projects, soo no one is investing anymore into all shitty Ico as before, im sorry for the opportunity loss at bitmax, but i had lost twice at binance, and you dont see me complaning here at all.. grow up.



I looked carefully yesterday into the case and I don't think its a scam accusation since the exchange didn't scammed you money actually. There is no way to verify how much weight of truth they have in their statement that they experienced some problems while in the swapping process. But I agree that this sounds wierd that your account was locked from suspicious activity which could be possibly an internal plan after you threatened.

Only thing I can say that it is better to avoid using such exchanges which acknowledges that they had a problem and don't care to rectify it.


Shocked,as you say he threatened the CEO, sure if he had locked the account not the right behaviour as well.  Binance has and still have issues and this makes no sense acusation of scam when nothing was taken, besides a bug wich gaved hope... it happens...

i agree, i also run some online bussines, not crypto related, and when i registered at competition, they banned me, and forbid me to register, despite the fact my online bussiness is 0 compared to them, and core bussines is 3mio turnover, and needs that online exchange, but they refuse to enter me in even after 10 years, they still refuse, but here at crypto bussiness, anybody can regsiter anywhere and do what they can, steal the knowledge etc...like i said hard ot be objective.

thank you for your assessment  Grin

I studied the subject in detail and realized that Bitmax is an unreliable exchange. I had some money locked up on this exchange, but after this, I'm leaving here to never come back. Scam!

First red flag for me was the rip off name. Bitmax? Trying to get people to get confused with Bitmex is a bad way to start a business.

The chat also clearly shows a lack of professional attitude, I didn't read all of it, to be fair, too long for me.

But to be fair also, I don't think you really have a case. They didn't seem to have cheated you. The system crashed, lots of sales happen like that, you got your money back right?

I have to agree with this. If the system crashed and they did not (were unable to) process your trade then maybe they can claim it was not their fault but in future stat away from suspicious exchanges. I mean why use an exchange called "Bitmax" when "Bitmex" exists and the name seems a complete rip-off?
bitmex is a scam of the century, not bitmax,...try both and u will know why i said that.

nope, as i see you have also an exchange, and maybe there is a conflict of interests involved, .... its hard to be objective if a competiion exchange claims promotion, and not get it, and goes public.

if you cant be able to do competition.. basically, you dont. but if you did it no matter what,  you have to embrace your faults, thats it.

i will tell you my story, Poloniex is a scam by not offering /usd bets, bitfinex is a scam by sending 3.5K mails per month about positions getting close to liqudation (if you have 5 position, u receive for 5) , bitmex not bitmax is a scam by their liqudation and really to high leverage,...binance is a scam by offering shitty icos, and then delisted, etc...now ill go and ready what was the problem with this 300 buks ... i havent had any problem with them so far.

Maybe you havent had any problem so far but, as you can see, this exchange is totally unreliable.

It's good that you are trying to warn the community but always add scammer's profile link or their thread so that DT members can place their warning. You can do this by searching their service name in bitcoinfuck.

In this case here is the thread of Bitmax.io : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-bitmaxio-transaction-mining-reverse-mining-5066589



EDIT: Original poster is not a part of Bitmax team (Disclaimer present in the main post). Though I would still like to hear his comment regarding this and what action he will take regarding their thread.

I had a really bad experience. Thank you for your advice, I did it.

I don't think if the project is a scam, the CEO of the platform would be the one to tell you that, no one wants to tag their platform with a bad name even if they know that they carry out shaddy activities.

I think you misinterpreted what the CEO told you and need to clarify things. You also have to do your part in being very careful before investing in any project because we can hardly know how to differentiate the good from the bad platforms.

1- Bitmax doesn't accept the responsibility for their activities and mistakes.

2- I already threatened by CEO, he suspended my account to fear me there is a lot of evidence about it.

3- A company which doesn't bear their actions cant be trusted.

I use Bitmax regularly (because my tokens is only tradable here) and they have problems many times, such as suspicious login activity issues which happens to many users. Not really surprising things like this happened, I thought they've already solved it but it seems some users are still affected.

Yes but i missed the opportunity to make my money x12

Does that constitute enough reason to call an exchange a scam exchange? Binance also 'made' thousand of people fails to participate in the launchpad. But for sure, they have problems which needed to be solved immediately.

I try to participate Bİnance ICO either but I did not achieve this. This is the difference between Binance and Bitmax. Binance never told me "You have successfully participated." But bitmax did. Also, a big company must take responsibility for their actions. Bitmax said to me: "The mistake made by us we didnt design well sorry" Also their customer services suck. It has been 48 hours past and they didn't answer me.

Besides "Login activity issues" totally lie. Because I'm using Ubuntu which is Linux software and my software cant be hacked, besides I'm using google 2fa. Besides, i didn't get any email from bitmax for "suspicious activity"

An unprofessional move by Bitmax. It doesn't mean it's a scam but anything that acts in such way to it's users can't be trusted for.
Their own statements are misleading and they are not even clear about where they're heading. A good company should be responsible for it's actions.
Such are the things that leads to demise of a growing exchange.

" A good company should be responsible for it's actions." Exactly.

This is enough and concrete evidence to prove that they are scammers i gues better create same thread in scams and reputation section here

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

And also in altcoin speculation section

You have a terrible experience mate, Maybe he meant about the design that their system is not perfect it has some errors that need fixing, so this is not your fault it is an exchange fault. If this was intentional this is very bad and we should stay away from this exchange. Anyways you can move this thread on SCAM Accusations. I'm looking forward to this issue and waiting for others feedbacks.

How to move a thread?
Just go to the bottom left of your thread and look for move topic.

Hello crypto lovers!

A short time ago, I heard of a stock market named Bitmax on the advice of a friend. I was registered in the exchange obviously liked the interface and mobil app. I've seen this place as a place where I can better assess my digital assets as someone who's fed up with the monopoly of other exchanges. I have not had any problems so far.


But this exchange on March 11 made the ICO of a token called DOS. But the ICO they did didn't look like Binance's ICO. You were supposed to fill in an application form from dos's own site(with your bitmax email) and register. Then, if you have sufficient funds on Bitmax Exchange, Dos tokens would be credited to your Bitmax Account.

The day that ICO happened, I successfully registered with ICO. The screenshot shown below contains the verification code required for recording and the message sent to me by the system after recording.(The message system has sent does not belong me because i didnt capture it, why would i?)

(You can check the verification number, you can check the time 5:06 GMT+ (Ico had started at 5:00, and i received e mail 5:06 because of overload)












After this event, Bitmax said that Dos tokens will be swapped if I have enough Bitmax Coin in my account within 48 hours. But 48 hours later, the coins didn't count on my account. I had enough balance on the Bitmax Exchange because I was prepared before.

After this incident, I reported it to a manager in the Bitmax Telegram group. The administrator said that Dos tokens were not transferred to my account because I could not successfully register. I gave him the evidence. He said he was going to pass it on to a top official. The next day, this administrator sent me a message and told me that the transaction could not take place for reasons they didn't have.

Then I e-mailed the situation to the dos token authorities. They also Bitmax all the responsibility for themselves that there is nothing they could do they said. I e-mailed to the Bitmax support team, and I didn't get any feedback even after 24 hours passed. Bitmax's customer service didn't give me any answers. (You can see both Dos answer and both Bitmax  Telegram support answer)





Later, I entered the official telegram account of Bitmax and met with Bitmax CEO George Cao. I presented my evidence. But the answer I received was very funny: the problem is entirely from us, and you may have done everything right, but we're sorry. Try again next time.

And the sad thing is that after the Dos Token ICO, he went into the Bitmax Exchange and made it exactly x13. So bitmax stole the opportunity to make my money x13. As a result, they said they were just sorry.

Well, is that all? No, we're just starting.

I told the CEO of Bitmax that I would move this to Bitcointalk and other platforms. He perceived it as a threat. And he told me to do my best.

And you know what happened? My bitmax account, which is$ 330 in, was instantly suspended. I was told my account was suspended when I tried to sell the bitmax coins I hired to buy the dos token. The evidence is available below.

And I texted him when I realized that the CEO was doing it. He said he didn't do it himself, because he tried to log into my account from around the world, and that's why my account was suspended for security reasons. But that was a big lie. I haven't received any e-mails from Bitmax about trying to access my account.

The CEO of bitmax intentionally suspended my account. Do you know why? Because he knew I'd let him know right away, and he knew I'd understand what he was doing. And when I told him, he said he didn't do it, but he was interested. In minutes, my account problem was gone, he fixed it. And you know why he did that? To say "You were in trouble and I saved you."

















https://imgur.com/a/oVs6MeR (this video is proofed that is the ceo himself)



Finally, I took my remaining$ 330 money and left the stock exchange because I had no confidence in the Bitmax Exchange.

As you can see,the bitmax exchange is a rogue, liar, dangerous, a lousy stock that has a CEO who can suspend your account directly if you annoy them. (his telegram username : @BmaxHeat

I offered you everything with evidence. I will try to keep people away from these scams by hearing my voice not only on this platform but also on the other big platforms.

Thank you for reading.
