In addition to what has been said already, I just want to add that Fixedfloat IMMEDIATELY transferred the BTC I sent to their own hot wallet, which means it was already added to their pool of money they use to draw funds to send to their customers.
Another option they have it sending the funds back to where they came from, but of course they would never do this as its not part of their M.O.
I don't think this is fake at all, sorry to have to debate you on this but I know specific agencies that have reporting requirements on amounts exceeding $10,000, as well as financial operators in specific countries.
This exchanger has been scamming people left and right for 2 or 3 years now under the guise of following regulations.
I hope OP gets his coin back soon.
KYC shouldn't take more than 2 weeks when complying with AML
That's the thing: I'm not sure if people
ever get their coins back when it comes to Fixed Float. Chances are slim but if somehow this situation is resolved in their favor, I hope OP would let us know.
The issue is, in regards to your statement of them scamming people, is I have been using them for the past 1 ½ to 2 years for amounts between 15 and 1000 and have never had an issue. Possibly hundreds if not thousands of transactions with them (obviously, I gamble).
I've only had 2 instances of a stalled transaction and support was quick to fix it within 5 minutes of me using the chat feature.
This is why I believe they may be manually processing KYC requirements and not informing users of why they failed AML procedures, whether it be poor quality image or a blacklisted address. This is the flaw with AML and CTL, you can't inform the user of why they failed as it may assist them in bypassing the requirements.
So from my individual experience, I don't perceive them as scammers, so if you have evidence to the contrary, I'd love to be informed, I'm definitely not wilfully ignorant here if they are scamming, just very uninformed.
On the same side of the coin, ChangeNow(?) was recommended to a friend of mine, which he used without issue as well for 1k, so it's a similar experience with them, I see a thread or 2 amongst the scam accusations but nothing substantial and continue to use (cautiously I might add).
What do you mean? I have all the evidence right in my inbox! They accepted my SoF, my ID, my proof of liveness video+audio according to their very specific instructions.
The tenor of your previous responses is really making me wonder about your motivations for being on this forum...
Also want to re-iterate for others that, Fixedfloat is not legally registered or regulated anywhere. I know because the police told me so. In fact they are already blacklisted in the EU and Australia.
