Topic: Yobit Scam withholding 10BTC - page 2. (Read 21551 times)

i feel yobit is not a scam, why because i sell some of my cards there, but i don't suggest a new project for listing on yobit. Why? most of them who only listing on yobit will eventually die and disappear from the circulation of the crypto market. also with many bots really really bothering traders in determining a decision. but for a scam, well I don't think so

Thanks, so do I. 
I have learned a lesson that is for sure, however my error which I own, does not mean Yobit should profit from it financially, or at least in full, they no doubt have recovered the 10 BTC when they were made aware of it and now they should do the right thing and at least repay me some of it. 

No, nothing yet despite having opened a new ticket, my 12th one. 

I really hope he gets it back.

I'm sure he learned his lesson, painfully so, but please, guys: never, ever, EVER!! send all your money to one place. Whatever it is, a single failure and it's gone.
Especially if you don't control the keys.

There is no reason on earth to transfer all your wealth to an exchange!!!

Yes there are plenty of accusations against yobit, by the way OP haven you recovered your bitcoins or not?

On the forum there are people who advertise this scam exchange. Thousands of people lost money on this exchange. The Russian local branch is filled with thousands of posts about the loss of money on this exchange. Why the forum administration allows to advertise this exchange and carry signatures?

 I think that the forum should prohibit such advertising

Two threads - both sent a substantial amount (10 & 7) ETH to ETC address at Yobit - with two entirely different results.

One got angry and got nothing back.

I don't use Yobit.

I am in the same boat with you. 1 BTC of mine taken hostage awaiting email confirmation and cannot be cancelled for 7 months, this is absurd. No response to tickets. I posted my experience on Yobit subreddit, it is sad.

IT HAS BEEN NEARLY 8 MONTHS NOW SINCE FIRST TICKET LODGED!!! 

Update, created a new support ticket in the hope that someone actually reads it and takes action.  

That is my 13th support ticket, will it be a lucky number?  I doubt it.    

Still I will continue to post here and update and remind people about what Yobit is like, if they refund me I will do the right thing and remove negative trust and lock thread but until then their name is mud and am also considering finding an Attorney in Russia but that is not easy to do as I have found so far.  

Yobit please do the right thing, just pay me 8 of the 10 BTC while the price is low and salvage some of your reputation.

IT HAS BEEN NEARLY 9 MONTHS NOW SINCE FIRST TICKET LODGED!!!  

For those of you who know Russian, this is the news report of Pavel Krymov's arrest (on youtube):
Pavel is the alleged founder of yobit scam exchange

A RIDICULOUS EXCHANGE THAT THERE IS PEOPLE CREATING IT COINS EVERY DAY THE FACE THROUGH THESE ARE ALL OF THE DEEP WEB RIDICULOS I WILL NEVER CHANGE ANYTHING WHY THERE ARE EXCHANGE MUCH BETTER AND ACCEPTED ON THE MARKET AND ALWAYS USE THE SHAPESHIFT THAT NEVER DEMANDED TO DEPOSIT MY FUNDS AND DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE DO NOT USE YOBIT IS A SCAM A SHAME OF OUR COMMUNITY

 Yobit, I have just changed the amount to 7 BTC please pay that, it is still gifting you 3 BTC.

I hope you get your money.
In your case 10 BTC is indeed too much. Maybe you should consider investing some money in a lawyer and sue yobit

this is about exchanges and will really hurt them

Hi, thanks for doing that, I appreciate it, but do not get yourself in trouble on my behalf.

I have tried that route also and was close to being banned by the same guy and I was worried that they would close my account all-together so I left it alone.

Just checked my balance again, no support messages and nothing paid to me, still waiting and waiting. 

Yobit if you read this, please tell me why you sent me the "Insurance Fund" message which I have filled out several times, only to receive nothing?

I am not going away.  Please, again, I urge you to do the right thing. 

confronted them on chat
Got banned for 1 week

So to continue the update have logged in again, no replies to the same ticket where they said "If the problem is not solved, what kind of compensation would you like to get from the insurance fund? "
where I entered 8 BTC and it then gave me a pop up that said "Info Okay" in green which I guess means their system received it (for the 10th time). 

I will be back in a week or two to both check my balance and again update this thread. 

This thread is going to be going while I still draw breath until they pay me, if they ever do. 

It may not change anything but at least it helps me a little psychologically, but at the same time when I do think about this it also sends me into a state of depression.

So damned if I do, damned if I don't it is a perpetual vicious cycle that eats away at me.   

Thank you to everyone who has bumped this thread and offered advice and or words of support, you may think it means nothing but it really does mean a lot to me, I feel like I am not alone when there are others who show support and it is deeply appreciated. 

 
 

And that is exactly what it comes down to, they do not seem to care about their reputation or their customers. 
More importantly it puzzles me that if people think Cryptocurrencies will explode in the medium to long term future as more technology is added along with edging closer to mass adoption why would you as an established already profitable business bother to steal from a client when you have the means and ability to rectify this and also add more support staff.

If I owned Yobit I would be doing everything I can to ensure that my companies image is improved upon not degraded by the actions of those in charge and would be looking to project the image as being that of Established/Trustworty/Real customer support etc.


Unfortunately again you are correct, having them be forced to do the right thing would be a good start.   

I have considered a Lawyer but there are many obstacles, such as their owners name and address, company address, the fact they are operating in Russia (so i am led to believe) and the fact that I cannot afford to mount a case against them, all the money I own in the World they currently are holding hostage and they know all of these obstacles are in place so there is no incentive for them to do the right thing, but it makes me as myself.  Do these people actually have hearts?  Have they ever tried to put themselves in the shoes of someone in my position?  Would they expect their Children to grow up and act the same way their company does?

It is like they have a license to steal with impunity.
I am a big believer in Karma but karma is not going to get my money back, unless one of them has a weak moment of honesty and or integrity.   

Thanks for the advice I will not be contacting him.

I appreciate your help but I have also tried to reason with them in the shoutbox but was getting close to getting banned so i did not want to have my account banned and further compound the issue so I backed off and, well, still here, still no payment.   

they are really scam, i lost a few amounts of BTC to that Exchange,, They always doing A Denomination for LIZA LIMBO LAMBO Coins.

Great support ! Looks like yobit doesn't care about their reputation. But I think they really don't care about anything, except money. That's all what they need. People if won't lost your money don't use this "exchange".

Agree with you! be careful man with all this newbie and their "help". There are a lot of scammers. They try to steal your money. Usually they say that you need to pay 10,20,50$ dollars to support or something and after that they will help you. This is scammers. Don't send anything to them.
