Re: Cryptopia: Lot of users with issues in withdrawal and deposit

DO NOT USE THIS EXCHANGE.

I lost hundreds of dollars and I'm reading how some have lost thousands. Pending withdrawals, withdrawals with fake transaction IDs, deposits that never show up, and of course support never responds to anyone. The few people who claim they are getting responses from support make me think they are either fake users just trying to do damage control for the bad reviews Cryptopia is getting, or that Cryptopia is favoring some users over others. Either way, this is bad business practice and at the end of the day people are losing their coins to this company.

THEY ARE SCAMMING PEOPLE, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

Is that true? I have an account with cryptopia and I did not have a problem here. Try to contact the cryptopia support and ask them what happened

Are you retarded? Or just trolling?

The days just keep piling on and no response from support regarding my missing coins and the bogus transaction id. FUCK THIS EXCHANGE! I'm going to do everything I can to legally file charges and complaints against them.

This one of Cryptopia is really a bad news, I hope it will be a false alarm though. as it was a false alarm the rumor that Poloniex was preparing an exit scam last summer.

Poloniex is answerable to the gov't. They are too entwined. The operators would literally have to skip town since they are more or less on the grid. My problem with them is that they were hacked in the past and their compensation didn't seem all that great. But cryptos were still new and they've shown a good track record for the past year or so.

I want to believe Cryptopia is in the same boat, but the way they handle support and the problems their trading platform has are more than just a little problematic, they border on criminal behavior. If they were based in the U.S. there would be some legal backlash already.

Guys,

this time the news is good.

My deposit was credited to my account. I waited for 30 days, but today, I went in and saw that the coins were in my wallet.

What happened was that they had a big problem with one of the first pumps made by John McAfee, since they were the only exchange that traded #ETN. They ended up growing very fast, increased more than 10 times access in a short time. This happened during the holiday season. They have not come back with the LTC and DOGE trades. Have patience and do not forget to open a support ticket and charge in their forum that even in the delay you will receive the coins. I received it, I believe you will too.



If waiting 30 days for a deposit to go through is "good news" to you, then your bar is set pretty effin low.

I don't care what the reason for it is, if you are running an exchange and handling people's money and then have major problems with transactions where people are waiting a month for a transaction to complete (or losing funds altogether) then you don't know what you're doing and shouldn't be running an exchange.

Screw Cryptopia, I am done with them.

I have not used Cryptopia long since Cryptopia has been cheating on customers. If Cryptopia actually deceives its customers, its commercial site is likely to be closed in the near future as no investor will be allowed to invest in Cryptopia.

My thoughts exactly. After doing some research, I see I am not alone with having transaction problems. People are losing coins all over the place with this exchange.  You'd think that they would shut down operations and sort everything out before allowing anymore deposits and user registrations, but they're obviously too greedy for that.

You're running a huge risk trading on a platform that does not do business directly with a regulated bank. It may be fun and all, and perhaps profitable if you're a decent trader, but without regulatory oversight these types of exchanges answer to no one and therefore can do whatever the hell they please with your money.

I've never had any issues trading on unregulated exchanges, though I've read other people have. It wasn't a ton of money I lost, but it was a few hundred and that isn't nothing. Needless to say, I've lost all faith in Cryptopia and will be recommending against using it to all my friends and family. I cannot believe that they actually can't respond to support, I think they are just hoping I'll go away.

Beware Cryptopia. Bogus tx ID on withdrawal, coins stolen!

About two weeks ago, I tried withdrawing coins and was given a bogus transaction ID. That is to say the tx ID never showed up in the blockchain and I never received my coins to my wallet.

So I opened a support ticket. At the time their system said it was a 12 day wait. 12 days? They just said they hired new people. And why are they allowing new registrations if they can't keep up with support? Well, fine, I'll wait 12 days.

Well it's now been 16 days and no response from support. And now their system says it's a 20 day wait. So when 20 days is up, will the system say 30 days? And when that is up will it change to 60 days? Will I EVER get a response from support?

Not likely.

So I am sure people wonder "Did you double check your wallet address?"
Yes, I even received an email confirmation with the wallet address in it, no typos and no problems.

I am banned from the trollbox for speaking out about this. I was told by a moderator that I need to use their support system. The 20 day wait support system, you mean??

They are trying to silence me. I am now taking to social media. Please people, do NOT use this exchange, you will have your coins stolen by them!

And apparently I am not the only one.  Today I see an article saying people cannot withdraw funds:

https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/101084089/cryptopia-traders-report-problems-withdrawing-funds

Plus, Cryptopia is having trouble with the banks:

http://coindispatch.com/2018/02/01/cryptopia-exchange-halts-withdrawals-as-new-zealand-bank-closes-account/

I would not be surprised if the government starts to crack down on the exchange soon due to people not being able to get their money back.

Cryptopia is turning out to be a FRAUD.

If you are thinking about using Cryptopia, DON'T. You are running the risk of losing your coins forever.

Beware.
