Yes, I experienced a very similar situation with BitForex and I can confirm that BitForex is a scam exchange. Stay away. Anyone can read up on my experience and how got my money back following the link below or on SheldCob on r/bitcoin on Reddit.
Don't fall for this trick!
This guy is advertising a so-called fund recovery firm that prays on desperate victims, just check his post history:
I think everyone should read this up about Revolut if you’re having similar issues. I just found this on on a revie site.

Yeah, I was reading reviews on the internet from other forums, Reddit, and review checker sites. I found this, you and your people should check it out. I think similar complaints too, and the latest was very useful.

Yeah right...
They will claim they can recover your money for a fixed fee, you pay and then they are gone.
