Yobit is surely a scam.  Though I have never done any trade on this exchange, I found out that they are a scam when I was trying to sign up for an account there.  When I tried to sign up with my email address e.g. john.smith@gmail.com, I got an error notification saying that my email address is invalid because it has a "dot" and I have to use another email address.  So, I contacted the support using the chat feature and they asked me to send some 0.01BTC so that they can rectify the problem.

I'm sure they need money to pay the developers to design the product and solve the bugs but when they asked newcomers to pay for this to work, this is something not right.  In the first place, they will get all the trading fees when newcomers sign up and trade on their exchange.

Avoid this exchange in case of HIV.

I have had my account blocked , i have a few thousand TRX in it ! I have this message from them on twitter Yobit.net


***We noticed that your BTC balance is low,you will need to send 0.01btc to YL-Code DEDICATED WALLET and send the transaction hash id to us for verification, then we will use the transaction hash to generate your YL-Code and sent to your email for confirmation, after your wallet is reconfigured with the open multisig wallet,  all your fund including the 0.01btc will be refunded into your Yobit wallet. It is all your money , we only need the transaction hash to generate the YL-Code. All the process takes about 25 minutes and you must be online to receive the YL-Code as it expires within 10 minutes***

Im sure this is a scam ... Any advice Huh
