Hi everyone and I’m so appreciative of this chat and the help on this forum that I can’t thank enough.
I’m not sure if this is ok to post here but I thought it is since it’s the only place I find this website that is listed here to quote the post and my experience. I don’t know if This is purely to list the exchanges or projects that are bad or scams ect or if we can ask and post questions about them if we use them or have funds there ect. As I do. If not allowed here please move this. Thank you all.
Please see the quoted post of a lost of exchanges or websites that are listed as scams as one I have BTC on is listed here... 😥
Here is my problem on The below quote listing BitWave.LTD. I have been sent BTC from someone who must have verified account through depositing 0.01 BTC they had more in their account as they sent me a screen shot. This was to help this person as he was “blocked from depositing to Binance (or some other known legit exchange)” for what reasons I don’t know I believe it was to do with API use ir abuse for auto trading. They had the idea to send me a random person I met after they DM me on a social platform asking if I could take a deposit but keep 20% of the BTC. I thought OK!
Then he told me about the website exchange he was on “Bitwaveltd” he asked if I had a wallet address not a Bitwave.Ltd wallet, which I did have but I didn’t use it (I wasn’t thinking nor did I know what to do as I was/am new to crypto back a few months) I thought from lack of knowledge opening an account on this exchange would make it a easy transaction (I was wrong).
They messing me and I get the account finished and send the deposit adress for BTC. I receive the BTC. I paste in his BTC adress to send to minus 20% click send, get message that I must verify the account with a deposit of 0.01btc from any exchange wallet. I don’t have 0.01BTC to do this nor the money really to deposit on bunance and then buy 0.01 BTC and deposit to verify sso I can (supposedly send this BTC back to its owner.
I have been in contact with him and he has even offered to send me the value of $0.01 BTC to my bank or offered PayPal if I wasn’t ok giving my bank details. So I don’t think he or she is behind or apart of any scams rather likely they are A victim. I just don’t want them to send that money and have it be something I then deposit or get 0.01BTC do verify bitwaveltd and loose more of their money.
So I decide I need to try and get this sorted to get the BTC back to its owner..
I researched into Bitwave.ltd when this happened and the first webpage I open was a page that reviewed and stated the site had no bad reports and it was a clean website..I also checked virus total links on its home page profile page and the exchange page. That was all fine so I figured I’ll save up and buy 0.015 BTC on binance to transfer to this website. So I’m almost there with $ and I decide to check again today and looked into the website for conscription details ect.
Today I found the supposed location on a Google maps as AUST but many review and scam sites show its USA based. FIRST RED FLAG. I found this Australian location through searching the only name within Bitwave (and it’s listed in the quoted post below) which I find a person that has a finacial role but it’s for different company/s one at the top being “Bitwave.io” not “Bitwave.ltd”. SECOND RED FLAG.. since I couldn’t find any details on bitwave LTD that’s legit or shows it’s a true business I found this post and figured I’d comment see if anyone else is having this issue or any issue with bitwave.ltd.
So I then thought I’ll search for it’s stock on global exchange. I couldn’t find any company with that name or Bit Wave or Bitcoin Wave or BTCWave or Bitwaves (there are a few bitwaves.tv .io and other dot.com types. That was the THIRD RED FLAG.
Basically hope this helps others not invest here if it is absolutely a scam as it sounds like it. Also I have one question can I get this looked into legally and say I had a good lawyer would they be able to get the BTC/$ value out of the exchange or the people responsible? Since it is still a crime.
I know it’s not likely but I figure I ask here where the best knowledge is at 😚 thanks
