The HitBtc exchange has been warned for a long time and I have taken many victims. After knowing about it, I no longer use the HitBtc exchange because I think that this exchange is very vulnerable and in my opinion this is a poor exchange.
I hope your withdrawal problem can be resolved quickly.
Topic: [SCAM] HitBTC - 3300$ (Read 296 times)
Guys, I pulled out my money, I had a good plan and it worked.
They did not even ask for additional documents, but simply gave my money out and confirmed the verification of the profile.
But that does not change the fact that he is a scammer.
If someone needs help with this, write to me.

If I understand your post correctly your issue has been solved?
solved by me, but I will not change the name of the topic, let people know what they will do with your money.
Technically your issue was not a scam (attempt) but I understand why you're not changing it. People should really stop using exchanges like HitBTC.
Thank you for understanding.

I wonder how these platforms are still alive after so many accusations floating around. I read "HitBTC" next to "scam" in a phrase more often than I should have.
Is the proof of "source of funds" even a thing an exchange can legally request? I feel like it's the authorities' job, not theirs. If there is something suspicious about the funds, their only job is to eventually request KYC and then report the other stuff to the authorities and let them do the rest, because it's their job actually.
It's just as nonsense as a bank asking the owner of an account where does the money come from. Do you think it's suspicious? You're not the person who has the right to interrogate me.
This professional scam sadly became a thing in the past few years. It's basically turning an illegal fund robbery into a legal one by these procedures. They have NO RIGHT to hold the funds you have ownership for.. Cannot wait for the rise of the DEXs. It needs to happen asap. Let these thieves' platforms perish like they should.

I used to trade there and I can say that there were some issues with my account, regarding withdraws and changing fees day by day (as they see fit).
Since KYC becomes necessary to most (if not all) exchangers, I withdraw all of my coins from there. Still have some small amount, as I just check...
Did you contact them here? Maybe they respond, if you are lucky enough.

You are too brave to deposit that much money while the account has not been verified, I have never had a problem with this exchange despite depositing and withdrawing large amounts of money, but at that time KYC was not needed when withdrawing funds, I haven't used that exchange for a long time, due to suspicious activity on my account, there is often a login notification via email even though I'm not logged in, so I withdraw all of my money, even though I'm currently activating authenticator.
Another sad story of the thuggery that's being carried out by HitBTC. I am so sorry about the pain you have gone through OP. I have seen dozens of similar kinds of accusation about HitBTC here and it seems they are no different from the like of Yobit.
What is very funny is that we don't usually see so many complaints of that nature from other big exchanges like Binance, Kucoin etc let alone make the stupid endless demand of different documents and detaisl which makes me believe the HitBTC chaps sometime do this to fleece of money from innocent customers whenever they see them deposits some attractive amount of funds.
What a shit ass exchanges... I have added my support to a flag that was opened against them.

Regarding your issue, how much time was between making the deposit and them asking where the funds came from?
I made a deposit on 01/17/2020 and asked for a withdrawal in or 2 days after exchanging. and about the 23rd they asked me about it.

There have been numerous warnings about HitBTC in the past. What made you decide to continue trading on there?
Unfortunately, as a newcomer, I did not pay attention to this.

Hi everyone guys.
I want to share my story with HITBTC, which intends to delay the payment to me (and how I was convinced in the future not only to me)
I made a deposit of 0.4 to this site, and exchanged them for a different ONT currency, after a while I needed money, and I applied for a withdrawal of 5001 ONT (0.38 BTC) But they rejected my request asking for verification, this is not a big problem, because all documents are present.
And then the trash begins.
I send them the documents, after 20 minutes I receive a letter that my application is rejected, I take pictures with my passport in my hands and separately the passport too and then send it again, which I am refused again.
Gathering patience into a fist, I did it one more time but from another phone, so that the quality was better, MIRACLE they accepted them, but requested a document certifying my place of residence (utility bills)
I sent them a payment document for GAS. After 5-6 hours, I was refused that this document is not suitable.
Then I sent them a bill for the light, which they also rejected after 1 day. Then I sent another gas payment document, but the result was the same (another 2 days passed)
In the end, I printed and sent them the payment of an Internet provider, but they wanted a copy of this file in PDF format.
I kindly got it and sent it to them. And it would seem that all, 5 days of torment are nipped and he will give me my personal money. But no, I was deeply mistaken, all the most interesting was just beginning.
After a day and a half, they sent me the following message.
I collected all the necessary information and sent them.
after 2 days they answered me again.
I'm tired of sending them documents and screenshots ....
And I was contacted by a person who is in the same situation, and he gathered a group of people who in the same way this site does not pay money. Their amounts are much more than mine.
and believe such people a lot ....
A deposit is made easily, but then you want to withdraw your money, then it becomes impossible.

Code:
I can confirm HitBTC is stealing users’ funds under a false pretense of KYC/AML procedure. Withdrawal requests fail and the user is forced to provide all sorts of public information including ID, social network links and real IP without any just reason – a classic stalling tactic of an insolvent exchange.
HitBTC is clearly a SCAM as many other users have said. Keep away.

Code:
I received an email that they denied my KYC and then I couldn’t transfer my coins from trading to the main account to get it off the exchange and now I can’t even log in. Then I got a BS standard email from them. Assuming they took my coins!!!!N Any one else having these issues
Code:
I recently lost my phone, and also need to reset 2FA because I don’t have the secret. I gave HitBTC pictures of me holding my passport, along with a signed/dated notice. I also included a screenshot of what my current portfolio should be (coins/amounts).
This STILL was not enough. They are asking for transaction hashes, which is troublesome for me to get because I don’t know the address it was supposed to deposit to. I use multiple exchanges (close to 6) and last deposited over a year ago to HitBTC. Asking for transactions is too much; I was able to regain access to my Coinbase (GDAX) and other exchange accounts, but not HitBTC. No other exchange is asking for transaction hashes. I feel like they are going to extreme lengths in order to essentially hold my funds hostage.
TLDR; stay away from HitBTC. They’re by far the worst exchange I’ve used. There are much better options out there.

DON’T USE IT. FUNDS FROZEN!
I deposited 20 btc into HitBTC and then found out that they had really low volume for the coins I wanted to trade with. So I tried to transfer the btc to another exchange/address, and then everything just started to freeze up. First I didn’t get email confirmations for transferring funds, then it would say currency operations no allowed. Now I can’t even trade between eth and btw or any other coin. They have completely frozen my account and when I tried to contact customer support, they would ask for 1 KYC document per email, an address proof, then a photo of me, then source of funds. It has been 3 weeks since the issue happened, my funds are still stuck while crypto currencies are dropping everyday. I would not recommend this exchange to anyone. I have used bitfinex and bittrex and kucoin before, all without any problems.

The same thing is happening to me right now. I deposited 4.5 btc, but when I tried withdrawing it, I’m getting the same run around. First they need a photo to verify my id, then they need to verify my address, then my social network, etc. Every time I send them another form of Id, they ask for other forms. Its been 3 days so far and the market is steady changing putting me in a worse position, losing money. Hitbtc is the worse exchange ever. Please spare yourself a lot of heart ache and don’t use it at all.
and believe such people a lot ....
