Www.paxful.com Is A Fraud And Scammer Site, The Founder Is A Scammer by pyin111: 6:40am On Jun 27, 2017
Hello my fellow reader and Friends, I will like to notify you of this Fast and trending Peer to Peer scam site ( www.Paxful.com ).


PLEASE READ MY STORY

Please, I will Like to advise you if you are a vendor on this site, or that you want to trade on the web,  Do things with caution because both the vendors and the site itself is a scam.



It happens this way, I started trading on Paxful less than 1Months ago, though I created my account with them a year ago, my exchanging site use to be www.Localbitcoins.com .


When I started trading, I mean buying Gift card on this web, I have been seeing many things concerning them, that they are scam site, but I won't listen thinking they are just againsting the good site but not until when it happens to me  shocked kiss grin


THE STORY
I use to buy gift card on the web, I have 90+ positive reputation withing a week of trading with no single bad or negative Feedback ( Check this yourself, my username is https://paxful.com/user/Mankind66, the good thing about my trading is I don't have any Dispute trade, no pending trading, not at all, all the trade going good day by day not until when I try to add to my Paxful Bitcoins so to make more gains. I transfered bulk of BTC to the website before sleeping on 23/06/2017, but on checking my account on 24/06/2017, the account has been suspended. I was in doubt of what might have caused it, am not scamming here, WTF  Could have caused this, I don't know. I email them on that faithful day repeated but they won't reply, and they see the mails ( Am very sure, they are just frastrating people)


I later found out what that lead to the ban, which is absolutely not true

I sent them mail, they refused to reply, I then go to their talk forum to speak with their Forum admin and this is what he sent to me


"( Paxful.com
Ryan
1d

No need to worry, it was suspended by paxful, not hacked. Reason: Brokering on the marketplace. https://kb.paxful.com/knowledgebase/paxful-terms-service/1 paragraph 5)"


And Paxful Paragraph 5 says "
You may NOT broker gift card codes, they must be purchased by you ONLY."


They want the gift card to purchased by the seller only, they forget the name of the card is " GIFT CARD", it can be a gift from your relative or friends, and beside, I have no issue with anyone concerning Gift card of a thing, just that they want to steal some random Vendor Bitcoins to their own






I BEG THEM SEVERALLY, BUT THEY DECIDED TO STEAL IT
I told them its not brokering, that am also a reseller, got cards from people and trade it in some times but they won't listen.  Not even that I have any dispute or any pending trades


They finally reply my mails after Some days

In their mind, they will ban people account and stop replying their mails, thinking the person will forget the Bitcoins and it will belong to them after. But when they finally reply, I was told my coins will be locked and Held for good 12 Months, Wtf? Without scamming anyone? Even if at all you want to ban me, won't I have access to my fund if you yourself are not scammers, the if and Professional scammer?


Telling me they will investigate the account for 12 Months, Really? Is that not a their and scam talk?

They already know I will have forget the coins before then and it will be theirs



All the screenshot below.


My advise to you

Please I once saw post like this and decided to ignore it, not until when it happens to me, stay away and run from this site, they are scamming people indirectly. I need to tell you the fact. Am pretty sure they can't last long.


I won't rest my case, until they allow me to have my funds withdraw. Will make sure Google Have their scam site news on their first page index, so that everyone will stay away from them. Localbitcoins is far cool than them.




I will Keep you posted, will update you guys on latest feedback from them.  Thanks

Have you experienced this before? Please drop your feedback on the scam site called www.Paxful.com.




Reading many complain about them this days, and am sure they are going down soon, very soon

You banned someone for selling gift card, not for scamming and you are telling the person won't be able to withdraw his fund for 12 good months, that means you are also a scammer promoting scammers

Re: Www.paxful.com Is A Fraud And Scammer Site, The Founder Is A Scammer by nnamokenna(m): 3:28pm On Jun 27, 2017
Lol. Sorry o my brother. I am also a victim of www.paxful.com though in my case, I think I was a bit lucky because I had just about $50 worth of Bitcoins in my account.

I was waiting for Bitcoins value to increase a bit before I send from my BlockChain to Paxful account but before I knew it, woke up one morning to find that the whole BTC had been sent to a wallet. Leaving nothing! I contacted them and after about 2 days, I got a mail from the same Ryan saying that I sent the BTC. How could I? I knew arguing with them would be futile since it had already been sent out.

Since then, I don't even bother going to Paxful.com again. Incidentally, it was after this that I now did what I should have done in the first place: research. I found out that the owners are indeed fraudsters and gangsters who have been arrest in the past by the FBI for gangster-related activities. They not only encourage fraud and scams on their site, but indeed participate in them.

Look around you!

People here trade at Paxful Daily and at the very least understand the difference between a "Gift Card" and a "Gift Code".
Total neanderthal who is lazy enough not to learn the RULES of a said Marketplace.

You're just a sad Man-child.

Paxful will be legit until you wake up one morning to discover they have taken over your money wink wink
I have had my account for 2yrs now.

Paxful et moderators stole over 600usd from me so I stopped trading and started saving my Bitcoin in their wallets temporarily. Maximum days I keep coins there is 2 weeks.
I was just unfortunate this morning to wakeup and my account was gone. I have written support but reply yet.

I have always known paxful to be scam but I wasn't careful enough this time.
