SimpleSwap Be careful

A week ago I decided to exchange my BTC coins for XMR coins. First I read the rules for creating an exchange. Then I checked the exchange rate and created an exchange. I checked the correctness of my XMR address several times to receive coins, and using a QR code, I sent BTC from my wallet to the address indicated on the exchange page. Since the rules said that the exchange takes from 5 to 60 minutes, I decided that two hours would definitely be enough. But, the status of my exchange remained "Waiting".

I checked again the address to which I sent the coins in the wallet with the address on the exchange page - they matched. But, 2 hours have passed and my exchange was still in the "Waiting" status. Suspecting that I ran into scammers (there are a lot of these unfortunate guys nowadays), I went to a live chat.

Within a couple of minutes, they explained to me that they had not yet received the coins to the address to start the exchange. I was indignant!

After all, I sent the coins, and could provide them with a screenshot of the sending. But, thanks to the employee of the support team for drawing my attention to the transaction - it is still confirmed.

I made a mistake when setting the network fee, and my transaction hung in what seemed to me an eternal wait. In order not to lose contacts, I provided my email and asked to let me know when there would be any news.

Three days later, I received a letter in which I was informed that the coins had reached the desired address, and my exchange could continue at the current rate or I can choose a refund of my funds.

Since I replied a day later, we agreed on the course again, and my exchange was finally completed. I am happy that I did not lose my money, and I am grateful that I was contacted by mail.

Recommendation: Always keep an eye on the network fee

SimpleSwap One of the best exchanges

One of the best exchanges I've used lately. There is no registration here, which suits me because there is no need to waste time in order to make a small exchange. After all, I found a lot of pairs here that I could not find earlier using other exchanges. Fixed and floating rates, that's all I need in order to turn to you again

I made the exchange and it was processed in a few minutes.

Recommendation: Fixed and floating rates

SimpleSwap SimpleSwap

Hello! Just completed my second trade with SimpleSwap and I have to say it's been a real pleasure! The first exchange I made a couple of weeks ago took about 10 minutes or so. And the last one with BCH, it was fast, ended in less than a minute. I want to thank SimpleSwap as they were the ones who initiated these deals for me both times and both times very well. Overall, SimpleSwap has done a very good job. I will definitely come back here to get more if needed.

SimpleSwap I found a service that is definitely worth trusting.

I recently found a SimpleSwap service that definitely won't cheat. I only got a good experience!

Usually all my exchanges are completed quickly and I really appreciate it. The first times I was very nervous lol and constantly wrote to the support team. The support is friendly and patient, after that they always notified me when the exchange was completed. This is the BEST crypto exchanger!

SimpleSwap That was simple

I was frustrated with other exchanges that were unreliable and complicated. Then I discovered this one and it was a breeze.

It is simple but professional. The support team is always available, they respond in a minute and solve any issues quickly. The transactions are fast and the site is clear and easy to use.

This is perfect for my business - I need efficiency and dependability.

Recommendation: Pay attention when copying a memo ID

SimpleSwap Reliable service

I did a small test transaction. It took around 30 minutes to be done! I contacted the support chat if there was any issue. Brad explained me that it is okay and exchanges may take up to 1 hour.

I decided to give a chance. Did a bigger exchange, it went through in minutes. Then did another exchange, it took minutes as well.

Simpleswap is reliable, I have read many reviews on different platforms, not bad!

SimpleSwap Honest service!

I am grateful that you represent an honest service. I was confused with the fact that my XML was sent without a destination tag. And maybe it's not much, $150, but for me it's a lot of money.

I thought it was lost, they warn during the exchange that if the tag is not specified, then xlm may be lost forever. But David from support kindly reassured me and returned my xlm to my address. I thank David and the entire sampleswap team and recommend this honest exchanger.

Recommendation: Feel free to use this service!

SimpleSwap SimpleSwap review: A beginner's journey to creating their first exchange with excellent customer support

Hey there fellow crypto enthusiasts, it's your girl Dacom here with a review of SimpleSwap. As someone who is fairly new to the world of cryptocurrency, I was initially intimidated by the process of creating an exchange. I encountered some difficulties along the way, but thankfully, SimpleSwap's customer support team was there to help me out every step of the way.

I found their instructional video to be incredibly helpful, as it gave me a detailed walkthrough of how to create an exchange. However, I still had some questions even after watching it, and this was when I reached out to the support team. I must say that they were extremely patient and understanding with me, even when I asked some pretty basic questions! They explained everything to me thoroughly and made sure I understood each step of the process.

With their guidance, I was able to successfully create my first exchange, which felt like a major triumph for me. The support team even advised me on how to check my exchange's status and how long it would take. I was impressed with how everything was handled with speed and precision.

Overall, I have to say that my experience with SimpleSwap was really positive, and it has given me the confidence to continue creating exchanges without hesitation. I am truly grateful for their help and patience during the process, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a smooth and easy exchange creation experience. Thanks, SimpleSwap!

SimpleSwap SimpleSwap Review: A Tale of Speedy Transactions and Lost Coins

Recently, I had the opportunity to try out SimpleSwap. I tested out the platform by swapping ADA for THETA and the result was impressive. The transaction was speedy, taking less than 20 minutes to complete. Without giving it a second thought, I relied on the reliability of SimpleSwap and attempted to carry out another transaction a few days later. Unfortunately, this time around, things didn't go as planned. SimpleSwap took my coins and refused to return them. This is a disturbing trend among cryptocurrency exchange platforms, but I had hoped SimpleSwap would be different. Upon further research, it dawned on me that this is not an isolated case of SimpleSwap's unscrupulous behaviour. Their responses are like a broken record - citing "technical issues" or liquidity provider issues. I was shocked at this inconsolable situation, and despite reaching out to them on numerous occasions, I received nothing but pre-scripted replies that were unhelpful. I tried, like many others, to remain patient and hopeful that the issue would be resolved, but alas SimpleSwap seems to have no intention of doing so. I would encourage anyone who values their assets to steer clear of SimpleSwap.

SimpleSwap Review: SimpleSwap, a cryptocurrency exchange platform with speedy online support but potential waiting time issues

If you're looking for a cryptocurrency exchange platform to swap your digital assets, you might want to consider SimpleSwap. The online support is quite impressive as the team replies to all messages with great speed and respects with a good manner.

Initially, the first few transactions went smoothly without any hassle, but the fourth transaction to swap LINK to XTZ started showing some delay. Unfortunately, even after 20 hours, it is still in progress, and SimpleSwap's support team cannot provide a definite timeline for when the XTZ coins will be sent to the customer. However, after consulting with their support team, it was noted that SimpleSwap has no direct influence on when the exchange sends coins.

The waiting time seems to be a weak point for this platform. However, SimpleSwap's support team is always available to address any issues with their clients and to provide as much information as possible. Although they do not inform clients about potential issues or delays related to coin swapping, they provide information that the exchange is stuck at the payout stage or is undergoing wallet maintenance-related issues.

Despite the delay, we must commend SimpleSwap's support team for their excellent and instant response. It has been approximately 40 hours since the transaction was initiated, and the process has been completed. While SimpleSwap has some work to do in improving their overall waiting time, their customer support is commendable. Overall, this platform can be a good option to consider for cryptocurrency exchange transactions.

SimpleSwap Review of SimpleSwap: Mixed Success with Customer Support and Technical Issues

My experience with SimpleSwap (simpleswap.io) started off smoothly, with my first transaction going off without a hitch. However, on my second attempt, I encountered a problem where the tokens I was expecting never arrived. Thankfully, the team promptly refunded me for my troubles. Despite my initial setback, I still felt confident enough to give them another shot, and found success on my third attempt. Unfortunately, I hit another snag on my fourth transaction, and this time, it took nearly 20 emails and a video capture of my screen to resolve the issue.

What was most frustrating was the fact that the email I received blamed the issue on a "one-time technical issue with Helium," which didn't seem to be the case as it had happened to me twice already. It wasn't until later that I received a response from the technical department, which listed various reasons why the deposit may not have been identified correctly. To avoid such issues in the future, they recommended creating exchanges for unique amounts and sending coins immediately after creating an exchange.

While I did eventually receive my tokens back, the overall experience left a sour taste in my mouth. I'm still in the process of getting my tokens back from my third failed transaction and have exchanged several emails with their team. If this is a scam, I'm not sure how it would work, as they ultimately refunded me for my losses. Instead, my frustration with SimpleSwap mostly stems from what I perceive to be poor communication and gross incompetence in handling their customer support and technical issues.

SimpleSwap Exceptional Support from SimpleSwap.io - A Review

I have been privileged to use SimpleSwap.io for some time now, and I have seen remarkable upgrades to the platform. My first transaction was not a smooth sail, as I had difficulties with the platform. I had to communicate with the support team, who assured me that everything was working fine. Eventually, my funds arrived, and I was really grateful for their efforts.

However, I was amazed by SimpleSwap.io's exceptional support after my recent transaction. I made a mistake when attempting to send my THETA to my MetaMask wallet address. Unfortunately, I copied the "RIGHT" address instead of the "LEFT" address, and this was because I was in the middle of a Smart Contract interaction when I copied the address. I immediately realized my mistake, and immediately contacted SimpleSwap.io, and they promised to investigate the matter.

To my surprise, I received a message from David, and I saw a previous message from Brad, asking me to confirm my corrected wallet address. I felt pleased that they had not forgotten my issue. I promptly provided the wallet address, and to my amazement, the funds were sent to the right wallet address the next day.

In summary, SimpleSwap.io has demonstrated an unbridled commitment to rendering excellent services to its customers. Their support team is top-notch, and they patiently work with their clientele to resolve their issues. I will continue to use SimpleSwap.io, and I urge everyone to join too!

SimpleSwap SimpleSwap Review: Persistence Pays Off in Recovering Lost Tokens

I recently had an experience with SimpleSwap (simpleswap.io) that I would like to share. Initially, I made a Swap for NANO to THETA in March, but unfortunately, there was a "spam" attack on the NANO network that caused many exchanges, including SimpleSwap, to halt trading NANO for a few weeks until the attack was resolved. During this time, I understood and kept in touch with SimpleSwap to ensure that they kept me updated on the swap's progress.

After a while, exchanges started trading NANO again in mid-April, but SimpleSwap still cited the NANO coin's "maintenance" as the reason for the delay. Despite the ongoing transaction for months, I did not receive the THETA token's equivalent value for my NANO by May. I was relying on this transaction, and the increase in NANO's value had allowed me more THETA than originally intended.

SimpleSwap had possession of my NANO, which could be easily tracked through the NANO explorer; however, I did not receive any THETA. I requested a refund instead, but they kept giving me the same excuse, "NANO is on maintenance." This situation persisted for almost three months, and I was out for more than $2200.

However, SimpleSwap recently completed the swap, and interestingly, they retrieved a swap that I thought was lost. I had mistakenly sent USDC to a USDT address when the NANO attack occurred, assuming I had lost my tokens. But thanks to SimpleSwap's efforts and many months of communication, I finally received the THETA tokens I had originally intended to receive. I was thrilled to recover my lost tokens and receive the THETA.

Thank you, SimpleSwap, for finally resolving my issue and allowing me to access my lost tokens. Although my experience was not entirely pleasant, the support team was patient and worked hard to resolve my issue. I will continue to use the platform.

SimpleSwap Beware of SimpleSwap: Shady Practices and Missing Coins

If you're considering using SimpleSwap for your cryptocurrency exchange needs, you might want to think again. This exchange has been known to engage in shady practices, leaving some customers in the lurch with missing coins. Let's dive into the details of one such customer's experience.

According to a recent review of SimpleSwap, the individual sent several thousand dollars worth of coins to the exchange, only to have the transaction get stuck on the "exchanging" stage for hours. When the customer reached out to customer service for help, they initially claimed it was a technical issue that was being worked on. However, after a whole day had passed, the customer was told that the exchange rates changed and the transaction had been suspended to protect their funds.

Here's where things get really fishy. SimpleSwap apparently informed the customer that they could only send fewer coins than originally agreed upon due to the changing exchange rates. The customer disputed this, arguing that the new rate only affected SimpleSwap and not them, and that they should receive the correct amount of coins as promised. However, SimpleSwap then tried to twist the situation by claiming that the customer had chosen "floating rate" instead of "fixed rate" for the transaction, even though the customer vehemently denied this.

As a result, the situation has been dragging on for over two days with SimpleSwap still holding onto the customer's coins, effectively holding them hostage unless the customer accepts a lower amount of coins. On top of all this, SimpleSwap has reportedly been lying to cover their tracks.

Overall, this review paints SimpleSwap in a very negative light. It's understandable that customers would want to be warned about such practices and think twice before entrusting their funds to this exchange. If you're looking for a reliable cryptocurrency exchange, it may be best to look elsewhere.

SimpleSwap Beware of SimpleSwap: A Fraudulent Exchange Scamming Users

I recently had a terrible experience with SimpleSwap, and I feel compelled to warn others about my ordeal. I made an exchange using their website, and everything seemed fine at first. However, once I sent the funds and the transaction was confirmed on the blockchain, the SimpleSwap team refused to complete my swap. They gave me the runaround with excuses such as "technical issues" and "we need more time to proceed with this exchange." This seemed odd to me, and after doing some research, I discovered that this is a common scamming technique used by the SimpleSwap team.

To make matters worse, their customer service was unhelpful and seemed to be scripted, using responses like "We appreciate your patience" and "Thank you for understanding." I quickly realized that they were holding onto my coins, waiting for exchange rates to change in their favor, and they had no intention of fulfilling my order unless I was willing to accept fewer coins.

After they stole 0.[protected] BTC from me, I became determined to take legal action against them. I have already reported this scam on several social media platforms, and I will continue to do so until the SimpleSwap website is shut down. No one deserves to be scammed, and it is my responsibility to make sure that others are safe from this unscrupulous activity.

My final advice to consumers: stay away from SimpleSwap! They are fraudulent, and I do not want anyone else to fall victim to their scam.

SimpleSwap Beware Unfair Trade Practices: My Negative Experience with SimpleSwap Exchange

I had the opportunity to test out SimpleSwap (simpleswap.io) for an exchange of my Theta tokens for TFuel (Exchange ID: d2B5FHFeMiv) on the 12th of January 2021. However, I am disappointed to report that I experienced a 50,000 TFuel loss due to a technical fault in SimpleSwap's exchange system, which resulted in a delay of 74 minutes before the exchange process started. Although the time taken for the entire exchange process may vary, it is normally assumed that the exchange process should not take more than 10 minutes. Unfortunately for me, a sharp spike in TFuel's price at 7:10 am led me to receive 50,000 TFuels lesser than expected. The total time taken for this exchange was 108 minutes from the time of Theta receipt.

Upon approaching SimpleSwap for a resolution, I was informed that they were not liable for any technical faults caused by third parties or themselves, as per their service terms. They returned 3050 TFuels (exchange fees), which I found unfair, leaving me feeling robbed and disappointed by their lack of responsibility.

As a trader, I understand the value of time when it comes to determining the exchange rate, and it concerns me that SimpleSwap can hold no responsibility for when the exchange process starts, as it could take hours. This information serves as a warning to fellow traders - be informed and aware of potential unfair trade practices from crypto exchange companies.

It is reasonable to expect that the exchange process for buying TFuels should have started as soon as SimpleSwap received my Theta deposit, ensuring the closest possible exchange rate at that time. It is also reasonable to expect that there should be industry best practices concerning how long a floating rate should be allowed to float. This would determine and delineate the liability of each party, allowing for a more transparent and equitable exchange.

Upon viewing SimpleSwap's response on au.trustpilot.com, I am left with more questions than answers regarding the system's failure to detect the deposit and lock in the rate within 5-10 minutes, considering the urgency of securing the exchange rate. It is disappointing that my loss resulted from SimpleSwap's failure to detect my deposit and lock in the market rate within a reasonable period of time.

In conclusion, this experience has caused me significant inconvenience as I have lost a considerable amount of TFuels. It is my hope that SimpleSwap will address these technical faults and their lack of responsibility, providing traders with a more equitable and reliable exchange platform.

SimpleSwap Beware of Simpleswap: A Nightmare of a Cryptocurrency Exchange

Unfortunately, my experience with Simpleswap was a complete nightmare. As a disabled old age pensioner who knew nothing about cryptocurrency, I trusted Simpleswap to exchange my tokens. However, they deliberately sent me the wrong tokens and refused to inform me of which ones they had sent. After weeks of pleading with them for an explanation or resolution, I found out that the tokens they sent were incorrect and not compatible with the ERC20 I had requested. Simpleswap even confirmed that they had sent the wrong tokens, but instead of helping me, they left me in the dark and forced me to spend hours trying to figure out what I could do to retrieve my several thousand dollars' worth of tokens.

To make matters worse, Simpleswap claimed that it was my fault for not checking, even though there was no indication of what I would receive and the mistake was on their end. Their refusal to be honest and transparent is deeply concerning, and they seem to think that they don't need to comply with any regulations or the law. They even refused to provide me with their details when I asked multiple times so I could complain and possibly take legal action.

I was fortunate enough not to lose several thousand dollars, but I wouldn't want anyone to go through the same ordeal. I suggest avoiding Simpleswap at all costs and update their name to "Difficultswap" considering their terrible negative attitude and non-compliance with regulations. Please be warned of the risks involved with using this company.

Waiting for more than 2 hours for a simple XMR to BTC exchange. You loose money because the rate changes so fast. They come up with all kind of excuses and they do nothing. This is not an instant exchange, as they claim. STAY AWAY

SimpleSwap Unreliable - my transaction was cancelled and still no refund after multiple emails - beware when using simpleswap

My recent experience with SimpleSwap has been frustrating and disappointing.

They cancelled a swap I made yesterday morning due to "the prices getting worse." This is fine, and I requested a refund.

The problem is that it is taking near 20 hours + to receive my refund, even after providing my address for the refund. In this time, my coins are held hostage - and this cost me $190 due to the price shifts (that only happened about 12 hours after I requested my refund - so this was due to the delay on SimpleSwap's part).

I have emailed multiple times and have asked for an estimated time that I'll receive my refund. I have not received any information on time.

To add insult to this, this delay and holding of my coins is costing me over $190 as the price has moved since I requested my refund.

I am very frustrated with this, and I don't think any reputable business would hold thousands of your money after you have asked for a refund when they were the ones who cancelled your transaction -- PLUS costing you money by holding your investments so you cannot sell at the price you wanted.

Please refund my coins ASAP.

Desired outcome: Please refund my coins ASAP. and compensate me for the loss caused by your delay of refund.

SimpleSwap Simpleswap.io

Probably scam beware…

While their site says the swap will be finished within 60 minutes, they are not able to process it in days.

In case they will finish swap sometime, swap rate has changed over time so I am losing money here

Support sucks the big way as after several request the promised to fix it in an hour and did nothing.

I believe it is pure scam and I dont recommend to anybody to use it at all.

Desired outcome: Finish the swap as you promised :)

SimpleSwap SimpleSwap Review: Disappointing Experience with Cryptocurrency Exchange Platform

and money. I was highly disappointed with my experience with SimpleSwap. I had high hopes when I first stumbled across their website, thinking it would be a great way to exchange my doge coins for something more desirable. Unfortunately, my experience with the site has left me feeling scammed and frustrated.

After depositing $200 worth of doge coin into the site, I waited patiently for 24 hours, eagerly anticipating my exchange. However, after the allotted time had passed, I had still not received the exchange. I immediately reached out to customer service for help, and was very disappointed by their lack of options. I received no additional information about the exchange or ETA, only note that a refund for my deposit had been issued.

While receiving a refund may seem like a victory, it was far from a satisfactory resolution. To make matters worse, I discovered that the refunded amount did not equate to the original amount of tokens I had deposited. This was a further blow to my confidence in SimpleSwap, and I was left feeling very disappointed.

Overall, I would not recommend SimpleSwap to anyone looking for a reliable, trustable cryptocurrency exchange platform. The site is a complete joke, and their customer service is lacking in both information and empathy. In sum, do not use this site, as it will only result in wasted time, money, and effort on your part.

SimpleSwap Disappointing Experience with SimpleSwap.io - A Review

I recently used SimpleSwap (simpleswap.io) to swap some of my Theta cryptocurrency coins. Unfortunately, I am quite disappointed with the experience overall. The company was utterly incapable of handling the volume from the Theta pump, and as a result, they fell short on honoring the original terms of my swap transaction. Moreover, the transaction processing took much longer than expected, and I ended up losing out on a significant percentage of my money due to their negligence.

To make things even worse, when I reached out to their customer service department for assistance, the representative "David" was extremely rude and unhelpful, making the whole ordeal an unpleasant experience. As a result of this whole ordeal, I have decided that I will not be using their services again, and I would strongly encourage anyone else who may be considering doing the same to steer clear of SimpleSwap (simpleswap.io).

SimpleSwap Review: SimpleSwap - A Convenient But Costly Crypto Exchange

I have had multiple experiences with SimpleSwap - the online crypto exchange, and it would be fair to say that it left both positive and negative impressions on me. Before I came across SimpleSwap, I was on the lookout for a platform to trade cryptocurrencies with ease, and while I did find SimpleSwap convenient, I soon moved on to find a better alternative - Hotbit Exchange.

Let's start with the positive aspects. SimpleSwap does what it promises- exchange cryptocurrencies with other tokens in a simple, fast, and secure manner. Their interface is quite user-friendly and sleek, and it's easy to navigate through the site and find the preferred cryptocurrency. Moreover, the whole process is carried out automatically, meaning there are no delays, and the transactions are completed within minutes. This is a significant plus for someone who wants to quickly exchange coins without having to wait endlessly.

However, it's the fees that turned my attention elsewhere. In my experience, the fees are at least five percent for an exchange, which is significantly higher than its competitors. While some exchanges charge a 1-2% fee, the 5% charged by SimpleSwap seems excessive and leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. That being said, they do specify the fees on their website, which is transparent and helps users with better decision-making.

That's not all; SimpleSwap's support and response times also leave much to be desired. While the platform promises 24/7 support, the response times are incredibly slow, often taking hours and sometimes even days. This can be frustrating if you need immediate assistance to carry out a transaction during favorable market conditions.

Lastly, I should also add that their trades can be subject to fluctuations in the market, which can result in additional fees to the trader. While I understand the volatile nature of cryptocurrency prices, it doesn't seem fair to suddenly charge someone more after offering a specific rate in the beginning.

In conclusion, while SimpleSwap looks like an attractive option, it's essential to keep in mind the high fees and slow customer support. If you are someone who doesn't mind the extra fees and can wait for their support team's response, then SimpleSwap can work well. However, for someone like me, who values transparency, affordability, and swift customer response, I would recommend checking out other alternatives like Hotbit Exchange.

SimpleSwap SimpleSwap Review: A Semi-Decentralized Exchange for Quick Crypto Trades

When it comes to the world of cryptocurrency exchanges, there are many options available. One such platform is SimpleSwap, which offers users the ability to exchange digital assets quickly and easily. However, there are some concerns about the service and its level of decentralization.

Firstly, it's worth noting that SimpleSwap is not a decentralized exchange (DEX). Unlike DEXs, which are built on smart contracts and operate entirely in a trustless manner, SimpleSwap requires users to connect with customer service in order to make trades. This suggests that there is some centralization involved in the exchange process.

Moreover, the fact that users are not able to connect wallets and exchange tokens without permission further highlights this lack of decentralization. While SimpleSwap certainly provides a user-friendly platform for trading cryptocurrencies, it seems to be a semi-decentralized exchange at best.

That being said, it's important to point out that SimpleSwap is far from alone in this regard. Many other exchanges operate in a similar way, relying on some level of centralization to facilitate trades. However, for those who prioritize true decentralization and trustlessness, SimpleSwap may not be the best option.

Overall, SimpleSwap appears to be a solid choice for those looking to trade cryptocurrencies quickly and easily. However, if you're looking for a fully decentralized exchange experience, you may want to look elsewhere.

SimpleSwap Beware of SimpleSwap: My experience with their service was anything but "simple

My experience with SimpleSwap (simpleswap.io) was extremely disappointing. I was hoping for a quick and easy exchange, but unfortunately, that was not the case. The exchange took a whopping 2 hours to complete, which is not exactly "simple" in my opinion. Then, to make matters even worse, the exchange failed.

What was even more frustrating was that my coins were held hostage, which seems to be a common issue among other users. This is an unacceptable situation that left me feeling helpless.

To add insult to injury, the exchange rate that was initially provided to me (1:82.2) was suddenly changed to much lower rates (1:76.2) or a refund. This was extremely frustrating as the rates actually improved during the two hours it took for the transaction to fail. I noticed that the rates were reflected on their main swap page, so it's unclear why there was such a discrepancy.

If you're considering using SimpleSwap, I would advise proceeding with caution. Based on my experience, their service is anything but "simple."

SimpleSwap SimpleSwap.io Review: Terrible Encounter with a Scam Crypto Platform

If you're thinking of using SimpleSwap (simpleswap.io) for your crypto transactions, it's best that you read about the experiences of other users first before you proceed. Bill S, for instance, had a terrible encounter with this platform. Sadly, I experienced the same thing as well.

It all began when I conducted my first transaction on March 23, 2021. The process was done quickly and efficiently, so I thought everything was alright. But come April 11, when I tried to transact once more, they started showing their true colors. They took my coins as expected, but after that, everything went silent.

When I contacted them about the issue, their customer service asked for photos, videos, transaction picture, and hash texts, just to name a few. It didn't stop there either, they kept asking for more and more details until it became clear that they were just stalling. It was a headache I didn't need.

Just like Bill, I had to notify Coinbase, YouTube, my local police, and now the FBI cybercrimes unit, just to get my issue resolved. It was evident that these guys were not legitimate and, in fact, nothing more than scammers.

All in all, my experience with SimpleSwap was a complete bust. Avoid them at all costs if you don't want to end up being scammed.

SimpleSwap Navigating SimpleSwap Reviews: Understanding the Context and Risks

Unfortunately, there are people who have had negative experiences with SimpleSwap and this could be discouraging. However, it is important to take into account the context of the situation. While some have had a smooth experience with their transactions, there are cases when some users encounter issues.

One of the complaints mentioned is the lengthy waiting period for transactions. For some, it can take hours for their crypto to be exchanged, and this can be frustrating especially when you need the funds immediately. This could be due to a lack of liquidity or problems with their partners.

Another issue mentioned is the lack of communication from their customer support team. Some users have reported receiving what appears to be automated responses or language that is hard to understand. This can be frustrating and makes it difficult to find out what is going on with their transactions.

However, it is important to note that not all users have had bad experiences with SimpleSwap. Some have had successful transactions and have been satisfied with the level of service they received.

It is also important to understand that cryptocurrency exchanges always come with some level of risk. While some companies may be able to guarantee fast transactions, there are others that may experience delays due to unforeseen circumstances.

Overall, it's up to each individual to decide whether or not they want to use SimpleSwap or any other cryptocurrency exchange. It is important to do research, read reviews, and be cautious before making any transactions.

SimpleSwap Negative Experience with SimpleSwap: Scammed Bitcoin and Non-KYC Exchange?

As a potential user of SimpleSwap, it's important to be aware of various experiences shared by users in the past. While some users have reported a positive experience using the platform, others have expressed a different experience. One reviewer expressed having been scammed by SimpleSwap, indicating that their Bitcoin was kept by the company without reason. Even more concerning, the reviewer noted that similar experiences were shared by other users on platforms like TrustPilot and Reddit.

It's worth noting that these complaints come from sources that may not necessarily be verified. However, the reviewer stated that their exchange with SimpleSwap has lasted over two weeks without any resolution. As a result, the reviewer recommends being cautious and working with reputable exchanges.

In a later update, the reviewer also noted that SimpleSwap replied to their complaints with lies. To make matters worse, SimpleSwap is a non-KYC exchange, and yet the reviewer sent over a significant amount of information and did not receive any feedback. The reviewer is convinced that SimpleSwap is not acting in good faith and urges others to be very cautious when using their platform.

While this review may be alarming, it's important to remember to not jump to conclusions based on one review or source of information, as every company can have both positive and negative experiences shared by their users. However, it's always worth considering various perspectives and being cautious when using any platform for cryptocurrency exchanges.

SimpleSwap SimpleSwap - A Disappointing and Fraudulent Company: My Experience and Warning

My experience with SimpleSwap has been quite disappointing. I attempted to complete a basic BTC swap, which should have been a simple process. However, 5 days later, my transaction still had not gone through. After exchanging 19 emails with their customer service team, I was left empty-handed and frustrated. It became clear to me that SimpleSwap holds onto your coins and will not complete the swap if the exchange rate is not favorable for them. To make matters worse, they took my BTC in just five minutes and refused to return my coins. It's quite apparent that they are a fraudulent company, and I regret ever using their services. There are much safer alternatives out there, which I learned the hard way. I hope that SimpleSwap will be held accountable for all of their illegal activity and become obsolete. I will not hesitate to share my experience with others on Facebook and Twitter daily so that others do not meet a similar fate.

SimpleSwap Frustrating Experience with SimpleSwap's Customer Service and Reliability

I recently attempted to use the services of SimpleSwap to conduct a transaction, but unfortunately, it failed on their end for some unknown reason. Despite this, my crypto was still sent through Coinbase, and I found myself struggling to get a refund. I reached out to their customer service representative named Stephanie and have been met with excuses and delays instead of the timely assistance I had hoped for.

My frustration has only increased as I have received a generic reply from Stephanie in their most recent email, telling me that SimpleSwap would be "right back". As someone who recognizes the volatility of crypto, being stuck waiting for 7 hours for a transaction or refund is simply unacceptable. While the amount involved was not a large sum, it is still very frustrating to be given the runaround all afternoon.

In the past, I have had a positive experience with SimpleSwap, but I have become increasingly anxious about the issues I have been experiencing with them recently. While I want to continue using their platform, this experience has taught me a valuable lesson and prompted me to consider alternatives with higher fees like Exodus Wallet or brokers like Caleb and Brown in the future.

Overall, while SimpleSwap may be a suitable option for some, in my experience, their customer service and reliability has proved to be lacking.

I found a Simpleswap on Twitter when I was looking for the best rate to exchange my btc to usdt. I found it attractive and I was not mistaken. They showed an average of 1.2% better rate compared to others. It was quick and easy, no registration, which is wery friendly. Grateful
