There's enough smoke about ChangeNOW that it must be safer for you to avoid it and anything related with the service altogether. Godex's profile, at least on this forum, is full of red trusts. There's also an existing flag against them. SimpleSwap is also distrusted here.
It is interesting how people write about these services here because I exclusively only use ChangeNOW and SimpleSwap and didn't have a single issue to date. What exactly do you think that they are supposed to do if their risk system flags your transaction? That way they ask for ID after you send money then stop talking and keep your funds looks like scam and because they are in places with weak rules it is very hard to get your money back. Your strong advice to avoid ChangeNOW is vital message for others and we should always do our homework before using any crypto service especially if it is not well regulated.
The same thing happens with exchanges, yet somehow people keep singling out the swap services. There are countless nightmare stories for most exchanges on Reddit. It is the laws, and slight mismanagement of the companies. As laws become tighter, these services have only two options. Over comply or risk getting shut down. People do not understand just how risky it is to have an under compliant risk assessment system for a financial provider. It is better to have many false positives than many false negatives unless they don't plan on staying in business.
