GREEDY LYING THIEVES
TOOK REPORTING THIS SCAMMERS TO *****CAPTA£**** BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO WITHDRAW MY CAPITAL
STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAMMERS THEY HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO OFFER YOU
Poloniex is a scam and possibly a…
Poloniex is a scam and possibly a fraudulent company. Ever since it has been sold to Justin Sun (a known fraudster and cryptocurrency celebrity marketeer). Also its been partly owned and bought by Circle, a large Wallstreet backed firm who are notorious for giving their customers a run-around forever.
You will never be able to withdraw your funds. Poloniex will find endless reasons and excuses as to which terms and conditions (small print) you happen to fall into and therefore cannot comply with their never-ending security procedures. It is in their best interests to withhold user funds and never return them.
Good luck!
Terrible exchange with embarrassing…
Terrible exchange with embarrassing customer support. Can't withdraw and wallets can stay in maintenace for over a year. They do everything to get new customers, like saying they support a hard fork, just so they will get mentioned in the press but then never perform the migration process. PLEASE DO NOT USE POLONIEX because the best moments to trade their website is offline for maintenance.

a scam they stole me 6 BTC in 2016 and they have asxcuse every time to avoid refund. The first time they ask me to make police complaint, translate it.. and after i did all this they ask me to tell police of my country to contact them again and i also thit but they respond me that police never contact them.
I HAVE ALL PROOF OF THIS SCAM
DON'T USE POLONIEX
Poloniex is a huge scam
Poloniex is a huge scam, stay away. They will come up with numerous reasons why you cannot withdraw your crypto. After running a scan on my wallet address, I discovered that they took my funds about 6 weeks after I deposited them. If they stole your funds or crypto you need to file a police report.
Do not TRUST
Do not TRUST! There are many decent exchanges out there, never EVER touch Poloniex with a 10ft pole.
They STOLE customers assets openly during the CLAM lending incident and refuse to give anybody their money back. They're hiding behind Circle now to give people even more the runaround. Still nothing after years.
Stay away from these thiefs.
This exchange is pure scam
This exchange is pure scam. don't put your money
i have been with poloniex from day 1
i have been with poloniex from day 1, unfortunately this is not the same company it once was. it reeks with fraud and manipulation, the devs are completely out of their depth, the mods in the troll box smuther the exchange with their egos and bleed their own negativity all over poloniex clients, rather bazzar behaviour to be accepted by a company that relies on their clients. at the end of the day i choose to trade at poloniex to try contribute to what was once a great exchange but on a daily basis i have watched the stars dissapear 1 by 1 and if there was less than one star then polo would easier adchieve that goal.its with a heavy heart i will withdraw my apis in a controlled manor and direct them to an exchange that appreciates the custom. seriously consider your options before getting involved with this very under prepared company, your funds are not safe here and you will experience completely unnessacary negativity which is the opposite of what a client needs from an exchange.

I've been trading on polo for six years. Crypto exchanges are by their very nature, regularly unreliable and often crash under load when you need to sell a spike up in price. So over the years I've grown used to the website going down when doge spikes ridiculously high or when etc vs eth played out and had postions ruined because their software can't cope. I'm used to that. However, recently it became quite obvious that they have been selling tokens which they don't own. That's why the xmr wallet is frozen during the monerun. This is fraud and so I've taken my stack elsewhere. I've given you a two star review to highlight the amazing work of the mods in the trollbox. I'll miss those guys n gals.
Take it easy polo.
Worst exchange I have ever used
Worst exchange I have ever used, blatant scam!
Tried to transfer some coin away from them, and despite successfully logging in, successfully using my 2FA code device, successfully responding to the transfger approval security email, they put my transfer under a security approval email because it came from a different ip address than I normally use?!
I've only used them once, to buy the original coin, of course I have a different IP address, 99.9% of ISP in the world issue dynamic IP addresses!
I have no idea how to get my transfer approved, as they simply keep replying to emails saying the security team is reviewing my request,
Utter scam to prevent people from removing funds.

Totally a fraudulent company
Totally a fraudulent company. From making continous fail account logins to delay or freeze access to your account to charge high mining charges that practically drop your balance to zero. These people should be prosecuted.
My approx $2800 scammed by poloniex
My approx $2800 scammed by poloniex. The currency which pumped they put it under maintenance.
LTC wallet frozen
LTC wallet frozen, more wallets maintenance mode, be afraid I have lose 700$. Support not respond! Poloniex can be scam.
SCAM ALERT. Avoid at all costs.
Stole money from customers in 2019 when their technical incompetency lost them 1800 BTC. They called the theft "socialized losses".
Most victims of the theft have not been reimbursed in 2022 still, 3 years later, even though the exchange is still running and in business.
Customer service is being useless and dodging questions. Poloniex obviously doesn't plan on doing anything.
There are many other exchanges out there. Avoid like the plague.
Worst experience of my life with…
Worst experience of my life with crypto. Extortionate fees, took 4 days to withdraw crypto. After contacting support, I was sent the same email 5 times giving me no help at all. The online chat service uses copy and paste messages to respond to you, they have no clue how to deal with any issue and pass you off to nobody. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. I will only use FTX as a platform from now on.
My deposit disappeared
My deposit disappeared. Support stopped answering my emails. Chat mods are saying it's going to be resolved.
AVOID WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE.
The biggest mistake in my life is that…
The biggest mistake in my life is that I trusted this platform. There must be an organization to stop such scam sites. This site must be stopped as soon as possible. Loss I did not check the comments here before registering and paying the money. This negatively affects other honest sites. Thank you Trustpilot.
stole customer's coin by trick
3 years a ago I was a user of Poloniex. One day they announced that due to system matters, part of their user's 10% of deposit are losing.
They should compensate the user by return back their losing coins but they said "Hey, We will not return it back your losing but will give you a trading fee discount everytime you trade ". The total amount might be beyond 1800btc. That means it became their own money. It is just time when the exchange is bought by a company called Circle. The former Poloniex is excellent!
This exchange will not respond by any means of law cause they know if you are foreigner you have no time and enough money to sue them. Until now, you could see many claim on their twitter comment about this.
If you do not want your property to be stolen by any form, stay away from this exchange.
