I had a 'Legacy' type account on Bittrex (more than 18 months old) which effectively had a limitless daily withdrawal limit.
I never had any withdrawal problems in the past and used to deposit and withdraw substantial amounts of btc without
any hassles. Recently I deposited btc to trade alts and when i tried to withdraw i discovered that my account type had been
changed from 'Legacy' to 'New' and that i now had a ZERO (0) withdrawal limit! Note that at the time I made these crypto
deposits (over the last couple of months) there was NO WARNING whatsover that my account type had been changed to New
and that I now had ZERO withdrawal capability! (Due to the outcry about this disgusting deceitful behaviour I see
Bittrex NOW has a warning once logged in that says you cannot withdraw anything due to being 'unverified'... TOO LATE
to put that notice up now!! It should have been put up there the second they changed my withdrawal limit to zero and
my account type to New so that i could back then decide for myself whether i still wanted to deposit funds knowing i
would then need to give up my privacy and get 'verified'. These scumbags took that choice away from me and are
now holding my funds hostage to extort me for my personal information!
This is totally unacceptable and is nothing short of entrapment and plain theft.
I figured i'd do Basic Verification but this did not work - no surprises there after researching the problem and found that
NOBODY is getting it right to complete Basic Authentication anymore... so Basic Authentication is a joke! in fact it's just
a trap that Bittrex has laid out in which they use the info you input into Basic Verification against you after they purposefully
fail it and then coerce you into doing Advanced Verification ... and then if there is ANY mismatch between the info you
entered in Basic compared to Advanced then you are screwed and it can take months (if you're lucky) to get Bittrex Support
to manually verify you. Note that there is no option to review your Basic verification info or update it afterwards ... this
is by design to trap you into a position whereby you upload all your docs for Advanced verification but get this failed anyway
due to some mismatch (no matter how trivial) so still no withdrawal ability even although you have uploaded more than
enough personal info to allow identity theft. Do you trust Bittrex with your personal ID documents when this is how they operate??
I refuse to give in to this extortion by Bittrex and am not prepared to do Advanced Verification due to the shady way they
went about entrapping me (no warning) into depositing crypto all the while changing my account type and withdrawal limits
to zero stealthily without my knowledge! This is the lowest of low i have ever encountered - not even Poloniex pulled this kind of devious sh1t!
I opened a Support ticket regarding this but get no response.
i'll be joining the class action against Bittrex for sure due to their unacceptable shady behaviour and their use of my
deposited funds to extort all my personal ID info from me against my will!
If there are any decent human beings left then please give me my coins back
And it happened like i predicted it will happen somewhere
Bittrex Leaks User Passports In Support Emails, Says Russian Telegram Channel
https://cointelegraph.com/news/bittrex-leaks-user-passports-in-support-emails-says-russian-telegram-channelIf you know your documents got leaked please send me a PM
Wondering why they didn't make an official statement regarding leak documents on telegram?
That's a big deal and their only reaction is going into hiding. Their poor social skills and support are a disaster.
Especially keeping coins hostage without warning. Changing terms on weekly basis. What's next Bittrex?
Dude totally with you, I did not want to press that green button for enhanced verification after I put my correct license info in and was told I didn't match public records, my life long address ?!?! I wrote jumio and asked if there was a problem with bittrex and could I directly have jumio verify me ... they said they could not because they work only with the company's who contract them bla bla bla , so I thanked the guy and asked it he could possibly comment to me if I did enhanced verification and was told that I didn't pass ... without telling me he basicly told me , that he couldn't tell me anything because bittrex hasn't told him anything about me ... I believe this meant they are not doing basic verifications , so you have to go enhanced ... scan your id so its really clear & take a selfie with the best handset you or any friend has , then maybe talk to a accountant if that's an issue .... honestly wish I didn't have to give all that info and I might consider letting a few k go rather than have to do it, but that was not an option this time
Oh wait edit , is you a troll just bashing bittrex ?? Because your talking class action atbthe same time you're talking about not being ready to give your info and you're quoting a story about passports that MIND YOU no news agencies are even 're reporting on ... also saw a statement from bittrex on that whole thing where they admitted the mix up and have offered the effected FEW individuals credit watch protection for 2 years ..... PEOPLE don't forget that old saying " don't let a good disaster get wasted or whatever " there is a war on between exchanges for our business and at the same time a lot of new not so sharp traders out there so do your own math .... and guy , get your coins or go to court you're still showing your ID either way ... I'm done with bct for a while, going car shopping
