How i got scammed by ViaBTC.com
In far october 2022 i decide to try something new and my choice fell on viabtc.com pool (that was bad choice). I set up my miners to a new pool and start mining, after a some time i add withdrawal address, made a withdraw and go to bed. But how surprised i was when i woke up, check my wallet and found no money on it. Then i go to the pool account, check my withdraw history and see that my withdrawal been canceled. I write to the support, and here the fun began.
ViaBTC support for a while, just playing for time, with some strange questions and replies. But in final they are requested from me, just check this out, i paste a list here:
- A photo of valid ID document issued by the government (ID card, passport or driving license).
- A Photo of you HOLDING BOTH the document and a handwritten note which contains: FORMAT (1) The ViaBTC account information (Email or phone number). (2) The request (Reset the payment password for my ViaBTC account (****@gmail.com)). (3) Current date.
- The account information, including registration time and historical login location (IP address and the exact time).
- The assets information, including the Coin Type, Amount or Revenue, etc..
- Screenshots of historical email notifications sent from ViaBTC, including but not limited to account information changes notification, login notifications, and deposit and withdrawal notifications.
Information of your mining history:
- Mining location and IP address.
- Model and quantity of your miners, and a real-time video recording of your mining farm and machines.
- Configuration Dashboard of your miners(not the mining page on ViaBTC).
- Complete purchasing proof of your miners, including but not limited to purchasing orders, logistics files, contracts, or invoices, etc.
- Electric bill for mining.
- If your miners are under hosting, please provide complete proof of the hosting service, including but not limited to contract, service agreement, etc.
Mining pool guys ! Withot KYC and other things! It looks like fckg joke :D But no, that is official letter from their support.
P.S. You dont find any word about KYC procedures or even something about requested things in pool Terms of Service or Privacy policy… So keep in mind, that this guys are do what they want, steel your moneys and they dont care.
