BTC-E seems to be one of those sites that have a good reputation but do a 1 in a 100 scam. This way the majority of the users just think it is one that is having an issue and that it really is all fine. This is selective scamming.
I have talked to the chinese at the chinese chat at BTC-E and heard story from a guy in Hong Kong who sent $60,000 dollars to BTC-E and BTC-E say they cannot find his deposit. This has beeng going on for three months he said.
I have sent 21000 SEK worth of dollar to BTC-E 18 days ago. I have already sent proof of deposit at least 5 times. They simply stop replying.
I receive all the time those emails saying the ticket has been closed.
BTC-E is either having liquidity problems or they are slowly but surely scamming their customers.
Call your bank, cancel your deposits. Be safe, not sorry.
