Topic: [Solved] !! Warning !! Bitget Exchange (Read 476 times)

I tried so many times to contact this guy through twitter but he didn't respond. I searched for other contact but not found. I waited for many days but still I not recieved any reply. why I hurt project as I myself using Bitget exchange for small trading. I didn't even used scam words in the heading. I shared whole story with source link so that big investors should research before getting-in in this exchange.


Thanks Zee27 for sharing such an useful update. I read all and it's quite interesting that now he is apologizing after creating a long term fud. I am now locking this thread and adding  " solved " in heading .

Thanks for sharing this and now everything cleared that the problem was not from Bitget but with Evenluthra understanding. He accused Bitget everywhere even in telegraph. I think Bitget make some settlement with this guyz because he was giving strictly warning and this accusation was trended everywhere.

 Now it's time to lock the Thread because the above twitter statement of guys prove that problem already solved so I think no more discussion needed. The only problem here is that Bitget team should be active to answer all issues so that all users know real picture of the story .

The mastermind behind the accusations against Bitget has come out publicly to apologize for tarnishing the image of the exchange. In his words....
"I want to clarify that I made some false accusations about Bitget and Gracy @GracyBitget. My emotions played too much of a role and I regret the damage my actions caused. I apologize about that.

If you got affected by the REELT incident, I know Bitget already took care of compensating users affected by that mess, and I've worked with Bitget to take make sure all users are made whole.

After a constructive dialogue with the Bitget team, I've gained a more nuanced understanding of their operations and ethos, and I now see they are a reliable and trustworthy platform. This experience has also taught me valuable lessons, which will guide me to make more contributions to the industry in the future.”

See that he was literally just fudding after all.  Check out the tweet he made dated 8th August 2023.

The lesson learnt here is to always check things out for yourself and not rely on what others say in the crypto space because it could be mere fud.

But have they replied to OP's warning about their site? If they are running a campaign here, they also need to ensure that they will respond to any feedback, especially negative ones, about them to maintain their reputation. Why would they waste money if they can't be active here? At the very least, they should have a representative to address issues like this.



In general maybe, but here in the forum?

Learning?
You're following this guy for learning?




You must be joking! And if you're not and you really think you "learn" from him then I can already know how much you will learn from him, 1000 ways to lose your money and do stupid things! I'm really wondering right now what's worse, bitget in case it's a scam o this guy who gives "advice"



Guess your mentor hasn't managed to teach you what a recovery scam is!
Much to learn you have, your padawan, and much stupid stuff to forget you have!  


He didn't get any more advice from his wise advise influencer, that's why!

Was the purpose of the OP to stop the Signature Campaign???

Also, i do not think that the campaign was stopped because of his scam accusation. Bitget wants to focus on other things, and they will come back to the campaign sometime later. That was told when the campaign was put on hold.

And I believe this scam accusation hasn't had any effect on their business too as they are getting 10M monthly traffic as shown by the statics sites like Similar Web.

Mentioning Bitget doesn't mean. I mention the exchanges I use. I cant post my whole story here but i switch to exchanges that suits me. And i recommend them. Btw, I used to mention Binance and MEXC sometimes ago. Why didn't you notice me then?

Look, after six days the @OP didn't comeback to reply even though he's active everyday and keep making post in other sections. Seems like he only want to hurt this project and don't want to give clarification whether he want to continue to accuse this project or admit he was wrong.

Since the campaign is already stopped [FIN] Bitget.com | Trade Smarter | Signature Campaign ~ Hero/Legendary, @OP already get what he want.

That is true though, but sometimes it's very hard to determine the exchange that could failed tomorrow or likely to scam people sometimes we need to be very mindful with the way we transact with them, you just said it all so I don't think there is anymore to deliberate on this issues anymore. Nevertheless, we all have to apply cautiousness while dealing with any exchange because scam is unavoidable.

How long are you going to examine them before you transact there then? Bitget has a Trust score of 9 and I believe that isn't a bad rating. You mentioned FTX and what became of it, you also need to know that same thing can also happen to even "our beloved All Mighty" Binance tomorrow. Listen, sometimes these things happen unintentionally and not that the owners planned to scam from the beginning. I've been with projects that have fantastic roadmaps and were following through until something unplanned happened that uttered everything and it ended up killing those projects. This is why I sometimes cut projects some slacks.

By the way OP, I suggest removing the first quoted review from trust pilot in your post because I'm pretty sure it was just a recovery scam attempt. It's the same kind of shit that gets spammed all the time, you can read more about this on: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/fbi-warns-of-increasing-cryptocurrency-recovery-scams/

In any case, regardless of this accusation thread, I've already felt iffy about them when I saw the amount of fake reviews in Exchanges board. Unless I'm out of choices, I'm most likely not gonna touch them.

I can't even risk my fund to deposit in any exchange that I have never understand how they operates or even have seen good records about them although I might not be overwhelmed with their good ratings or records. Since some of the exchange can pretends for years before executing their real purpose of scamming people, just what FTX did their to users, which made lots of people lost their lifetime savings. Before trusting exchange carefully examine them also do not leave your asset in any exchange.

You never know how whether they are trusted enough or not until you deal with millions.

So far the impressions are exchange isn't a scam and no one really accused them of losing their money by depositing there but still they are relatively low trusted to go with big amounts.

And for the record Bitget "Exposed" as "Chinese Scammers", Starts $100M Asia Web3 Fund.

Lol I don't even use the exchange but I'm aware of the incidence between Evan and Bitget back when Indians were pushing the hashtag. Evidences shows that man didn't invest 16 million lol it was 200k that was frozen by Bitget because he dumped his REELT bags on other investors. The exchange said the funds have been used added with theirs, to compensate other investors who got affected from what Evan and other developers of the project did. Not to be biased but I doubt a scam exchange would do that.

He wants to sue the exchange for 16 million tho. OP is capping lol

I am using Bitget for more than six months and didn't faced single problem. Withdraw instantly processing without any pending. The highest fund i deposited is 1500$ which i recieved from airdrop. Bitget exchange doing lot of promotion and they hired many Youtubers, influencers to promote their exchange.

I think not only Bitget but every new exchange is risky for big fund. 16 million is very big amount and I wonder why this whale not reported to law team to get back his fund if he is true in his claim. There is possibility of false accusations by this whale as sometimes they have no good setup with each other which results this kind of situation. Anyway we should always use trusted exchange for trading purpose and no need to take risk.

But Evan's case and Bitget is quite a funny and popular one too I'm surprised that not many people here knew about it. I followed up on the case when there was a trend about the exchange scamming its users.
Here's what I found.

Evan who was an advisor for REELT, sold too much of his allocated token upon its listing on the exchange and a few others, thereby crashing down the price of the asset. Here's Bitget's statement to that incident.( It was 200k that was frozen not 16 million as op has wrongly claimed. )
https://www.bitget.com/support/articles/12560603778479

They also made another statement saying they have compensated the affected investors of REELT due to the manipulation of the tokens price. https://www.bitget.com/support/articles/12560603782175

What I found most hilarious is that Evan himself had admitted to selling quite a lot of the token on several exchanges here's a link to the tweet containing the Screenshot of the conversation where he admitted to it. https://twitter.com/lyric_patrick2/status/1643582212678270978?t=30Rx8PM3p6GOPzzS8DcHNQ&s=19

I learnt recently that he had filed lawsuit against Bitget. I'm looking forward to the outcome of that.

For future reference, always include both sides of a story when making assertions to enable readers know the situation and also be able to judge accordingly.

Here's my take.. I'm neither affiliated with Bitget nor have I used the exchange before, but with these evidences of him admitting to selling beyond a reasonable amount of the listed token quite enough to crash its price, I don't think the exchange did wrong for freezing his funds and reimbursing other investors. Just my take tho.

Your reports are actually misleading and inaccurate.

It's just an assumption but that some if not all of these people who put large amounts of money in a new exchange are part of the scheme given that they can get it back if they're really part of the inner circle of the scammer. Unlikely to happen but it's a possibility, I am the same as you, I don't understand someone using a new exchange and then depositing large amounts of money, I mean you would probably be thinking twice and being really careful where you put it since it's a lot of money right? I think it's a common sense to not be trusting of new exchanges with that kind of money, not having that instinct is just begging to have that money get stolen.

I'm just going to leave it here if anyone is interested.
Like OP provided. It's is the same accusation, they are selectively scamming people.

https://www.blockhead.co/2023/04/11/bitget-exposed-as-chinese-scammers-starts-100m-asia-web3-fund/

also the trustpilot revies don't mean anything since people can pay to post fake reviews on that website.

That's the best action to do so that he can verify this accusation and give his side since if someone will just post this in behalf of him in this forum maybe this will stir up something then we cannot get any accurate information regarding on this case.
But also hope we can see Bitget can read this thread and answer the warning posted against them since this can help them and this community to know more information regarding on this issue.

Surely you can create an accusation behalf of someone else problem, but you need to understand how trusted is the account or the case is really make sure the project is scam.

Since that influencer in twitter isn't that trusted, so I can't trust him, this thread is still a suspect, not a warning or make everyone to avoid this exchange.

No need to delete this post, you was making people who read this thread think Bitget is scam while the actually it's not known about the real truth. I suggest you can reach that influencer to join this forum.

I personally consider influencers a big misconception. They certainly did not gain their influence exclusively with good and accurate information, and for a monetary reward, they will publish anything. Their modus operandi is to publish bombastic news the real truth is not the most important for influencers.

Once again, to be clear, it is not my intention to defend this exchange, even based on my intuition, I think they are closer to the description "scam" than trusted. But that's just my opinion, and I can't make accusations just based on my feelings.
Of course, there is no possibility for me to send any deposit there, certainly not $16m like some smart influencers who share pieces of advice.

Just keep in mind that some reviews can be fake too. Are you familiar with the service mentioned in the review above? They claim to get their money back after they report the exchange to them, but I'm not sure they offer a service like that. Besides, if the exchange doesn't want to return your money back, I doubt the user will find success reporting them to a third-party service. Unless they are suing them. CMIIW.

If you check this twitter account, this is account of well known indian crypto user followed by big crypto influencers and projects. I accept that only one tweet is not enough to start scam accusation but If you check out Trust pilot review then it is clear that this is not only case and many people facing withdraw problem.

For giving warning about any exchange first i have to deposit big fund and when i scammed then i will make thread here?

I am still new here and still learning. I trying to be active and help community. If this thread is not helpful or against this section then kindly tell me so i I will delete my post.



I forgot to add one words "scam". I want to say that first time I hear about Bitget scam.


If possible, do it (Thanks Theymos for not adding de-merit ). Soorry for wasting time. i am trying to reach this user and will back if got any reply.

First of all sorry for the loss. I could not understand why this type of amount can be sent to such a site where there are a lot of reputed exchange sites. I don't think this topic will be helpful in any case to get the money back but the community of this forum will be aware of the scam on the site.

probably trying to look for crypto exchanges with much relaxed KYC requirements so that they can wash their funds through them and also manipulate the markets of shitcoins with low liquidity listed on those exchanges and profit more. Those are the most probable reasons but yeah, that's what you get for being too greedy and not diligent enough.

I feel the same way too. The OP should have just made the title informative enough to save a lot of people the stress of even reading the entire thread before realizing it was all just a mere story.

Yeah this really is not a proper scam accusation thread. Can I de-merit OP? Just kidding. That aside, where is the proofs/screenshots.. Anything?

I feel like my time is being wasted reading this already.

I believe this accusation could have been more formal and given much more attention if the said people, whose complaints you just saw, were the ones to open the scam accusation or you were in contact with them, which can give you much more access to detailed information regarding how the exchange scammed them or how the exchange is likely trying to scam them. Since you are neither the accuser nor related to any of them, I can see this as something that is just trying to ruin the hard work of an upcoming exchange for nothing since your claims are just based on an assumption and a third person's story.

If this were a case of some physical company with legal entities backing them up, the company might press charges against you for trying to ruin their reputation with an unproven fact. I'm just saying you should be mindful of the kind of accusation you lay, especially when you are not the person who is directly affected.

Honestly, I thought I was the only one who noticed that needless solicitation from OP on something very remote to them. It's not even something they're sure of. It's just a hearsay and OP ran with it. I can't fathom why they did it, knowing that the exchange is making efforts to get the issue resolved in the first place. Such  an unbridled display of uncharitable comment can ruin a business. We can't say because this is social media anyone can say whatever they feel like saying and get away with it without getting sued. I think it's about time online people  started getting sued for intentionally spreading lies in order to ruin others. I know it's going to be more difficult tracking people here to physical addresses unlike in Facebook and Twitter where it's already done.

Really strange decision for individual to deposit such huge amount on new created exchange since their mind could change with that amount since in a single person they can already get a huge amount of money if they decide to exit. Also curious to know if there's illegalities involve with this since its hard to choose over those old reputable exchange and maybe there's something strange happening here on why they decide to deposit such huge amount on new exchange.

Here is the official Bitget signature campaign https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/fin-bitgetcom-trade-smarter-signature-campaign-herolegendary-5462250
As far as I can see, none of the ones you listed are officially campaign participants. But it would not be the first time that we have a private campaign where users shill for a brand.
And yes, it seems to be organized (or one person manages all accounts) because after being inactive since July, all accounts have actively started writing in the same way about Bitget. I will probably tag them all.

I agree... would like to see some additional evidence as well. Their way of marketing themselves here is kind of shady, however. Most exchanges or projects that try to do what they're doing (paying accounts to slip in references to Bitget here and there) end up scamming their users.

Would also like to see evidence of their campaign, which very well might exist, but I don't know where.

For example, these accounts have all been talking about Bitget recently in an out-of-context fashion:

Vivageneviv - 55 posts
ananyabushra - 30 posts
Zee27 - 29 posts
Bitcoinpoly - 21 posts
Cryptobabe - 15 posts
Shuuuuu - 14 posts

They're just cramming in talk about how reputable the exchange is in places where it doesn't need to be, makes me wonder how much they're getting paid to do this. Probably not much, $1 a post at the very max.

So, you open scam accusations based on one YouTuber's opinion and one Tweet from an unknown person? Did you find everything about this disputed case, surely Bitget gave some explanations about the reason for the dispute with this user. for a correct assessment, it is necessary to hear both sides, right?


Can you make up your mind, are you hearing about Bitget for the first time or are you using them for small trades?

---

To be clear, I have no relation to Bitget exchange, I don't even have an account there, so this is not a defence of their name. I just don't like blanket accusations and guesswork.

Most times I wonder why would people sending a huge funds into newly created exchange while we have trusted exchange that has been there for decades now and are pretty doing well without any bad records or much, that's why today I barely find time involving myself with those exchange because I know there aren't free from giving out silly excuses, most of the common excuses are kyc associated one that's why as a trader you have to ensure you did your kyc before sending in your funds to exchange, and it must be very little and you can decide to do it bit by bit to reduce the tension of one losing all their funds.

What happened::
I am following one indian youtuber Wise advise for learning purpose. two weeks ago he warn about Bitget exchange with reference of twitter account whose fund seized by Bitget. I wonder to see because this was ny first time i heard about Bitget exchange. I am also using Bitget for small trading purpose. Some days ago Bitget exchange launched Signature compaign too here.

I checked out Trust pilot review and found out that many other users fund also seized by Bitget without any warning and customer support not solving their issue.

 Reading Twitter post and trust pilots review I strongly believe that depositing big fund is very risky and we should avoid it. as far low fund i think it is safe yet.

Amount Scammed: $16,000,000
