Even better : Send me $5000 in paypal and I send you 100,000 by western union

You should add BTC-e.com and Mayzus Financial Services (the owner) as they practice "selective scamming". They block accounts for various reasons (or no reason at all) and you never see your money again.

ppl complain about them all over the internet. I've done some research and it appears the owner, Mr Mayzus, is a politician in Kaliningrad. He is allegedly a member of the russian mob. His company was sentenced by the cyprus authorities for money laundering in March 2016.

I lost 1 BTC to them and I would caution others to be careful with BTC-e and Mayzus Financial Services.

I confirm BTC-e is a scam. You can find out all over the Internet.

They "verified" my account, I sent a bitcoin.

They suddenly requested more documents...and then they put my account on "moneyhold".

When I asked to cancel my account and refund my money, they said no, only your bank can ask for it. Banks don't do that !

Mayzus financial Services is the owner of BTC-e. Mayzus is the mayor of Kaliningrad and he is known for belonging to the Russian mafia. Mayzus financial services has been sentenced for money laundering in Cyprus. They have a London address. I filed a legal complaint with the Financial Conduct Authority because they are a regulated entity and a complaint with the London Metro police because they engage in serious criminal activity.
