Topic: Your Review for POLONIEX.com? SCAM or LEGIT? (Read 11123 times)
I transferred bitcoin from Coinbase to Poloniex, but the coin never got transferred to my account. sent three support tickets and no responds. second time transferred, it got transferred, but after three days all my coins were sold and gone without my permission. my account was hacked from IP: 172.104.112.105 sent two support tickets, no responds.
Currently experiencing the Completed:Error message while trying to withdraw BTC. Not a good sign.
Bad reviews are definitely a clear indication of scam. Maybe those large investors need to experience it before they leave poloniex for good. Polo is now a trash not like a before that it's one of my favorite trading sites.
I don't want to say they are scam but it is better to stay away. There have been a lot of complaints that will discourage you to continue to trading there so if your bitcoins and altcoins are very precious to you then decide for what is best.
I started my cryptocurrency trading journey in Poloniex and thankfully, all my transactions are executed and my withdrawals all went through. However, there is one time that I wasn't able to access my account because upon logging in, it is said that my IP is being banned. I don't know the reason of it and then when I tried to log in the day after, I am able to log in. Maybe there is some glitch in their system or whatnot. There are some withdrawal issues as well that I read in the forum and news and because of it, I decided to transfer to another exchange. I can observe that the platform has still a large trading volume so I think many do still trust the site.
I personally have had Poloniex recommended to me by veterans in crypto trading. I have tested it myself and I have my conviction in me.
No doubt it is one of the best trading platforms out there.

I'm going to revise my answer a bit.
I hope I never need to call support. I had some Counterparty that was stuck pending withdrawal for a few days but it did eventually go through. I'm seeing a ton of people lately though that are waiting months to hear back. I would avoid them, at least for now, as it seems they really couldn't keep up with the industry growth.

Been waiting around 3 weeks for my bitcoin withdrawals. They're stuck on 'pending' status. I never had any problems withdrawing before.
Last time I opened a support ticket to up my limits, it took them 3 months to respond telling me I needed to add a picture of me holding paper saying 'poloniex' and the day's date. I submitted it and they responded quickly saying I had to add my date of birth to the paper.... but they gave me no way of updating the file.
This site is absolute dog shit, I'm in talks with acquaintances about suing them. The sooner they fuck off, the better.

Withdrawals are working now - guess they are just slow to react to the influx of new users.
Polo have issues with ETH in general for past few month and they still didnt resolve the problem. Cuz of this dont mean that they are scam just that they have huge problem but many users here have problems with ETH deposit and withdrawal and that is something that cannot be allowed for such big exchange as Poloniex. They have to resolve problem as soon as possible cuz many will leave then cuz of his and they wont be so trustworthy at all.
From what I understand, all the big exchanges have had a huge influx of new traders join in the past ~6 months or so. I'm sure they're struggling to keep up with the technology behind it all. That being said, it's not a very good excuse to have long ticket times and slow withdrawals.
I bought 60ETH in april on poloniex, then tried to move them offsite at which point I was hit with a "multiple profiles" error which cancels your ability to move any coins off the website. Having only one account, I created a support ticket and after two weeks of no response, I asked for the support ticket to be "escalated" in the trollbox that was active as a chat. After logging in again, the profile error was gone, so I closed the ticket and attempted to again transfer some coins out. It was not until june that I created another ticket, due to multiple coin withdrawal failures.
That ticket is still being processing with no response as of today.
I am not holding my breath. I think it definitely is a scam website. My initial reaction when the first withdrawal was cancelled was "scam" but I gave it the benefit of the doubt.
-Update 8/9/17
My withdrawals have been approved and there is no issue with multiple profiles as an error anymore.
I feel stupid for calling it a scam, had I waited a little bit longer, my problems would have been addressed. But I guess that's what happens when you leave people to wait for months before responding to support questions.
I have been able to make multiple withdrawals now, so I am calmed and now content to call them "slow" rather than a scam.

This exchange is fucking riddled with bugs. Wanna know why it's so laggy? Cause it's written in PHP, and not the best engineered code I suspect. I really expect a security hole to be found one of these days, all coins emptied out leaving the exchange bankrupt. Just my 2c..
Poloniex.com is definitely is now scamming new customers. For test pupose I deposited 1 ETC and I never received it. I opened a support ticket and they never replied. This problem is being faced by almost all the new customers. I don't know about old accounts may be they are working but there new accounts are broken and their support is zero.
In most exchanges your coins are not actually in your generated adress. If you look at blockchain info for polo for example, imediatly after the transaction is confirmed the funds are mooved to other adress. Don´t really now if it is cold storage or they are simply moving that BTC to a user withdrawal. So the time it takes is them moving your founds around i think.
i would like someone to explane me why when we send bitcoin to an exchange it use to always take long time, for me , average 2 hours i would say, but always transaction mark as cleared like 5 min after , if the transaction is confirmed 5 min after why isnt it available right away ?
I liked poloniex all along. Even when i had problems with my 2FA, although they were the ones that took more time to help me solve it they eventually did it.
Since friday i have a BTC withdrawal awaiting aproval and zero response form support. Now i´m getting worried as the complaints are growing in number ...

Hi, i just got in into cryptocurrency trading and invested a small amount to test out how it goes and it seems i found a good strategy to make profit somehow on it.
I plan to invest higher amount but i wonder if POLONIEX.com is legit website or just a scammer site?
I read lot of BAD reviews regarding with the withdrawals and all of them are screaming they are scammers frozen their accounts and others are saying they don't get their BTC.
Is there anyone here who has experiences with the said website or could anyone can recommend a legit platform so i can do some research?
Thanks in advance.

Poloniex is a legit exchange site but I'm not advocating you to use it now because poloniex is having problems like you have see about bad feedback about poloniex here. I would advise you to use other exchange sites, maybe bittrex is good and safe to use nowadays, but you should pay attention to bitcoin deposits because BIP91 is starting now.I plan to invest higher amount but i wonder if POLONIEX.com is legit website or just a scammer site?
