I am writing this post to alert the community about a serious situation involving the exchange service TorWex . A user (kight9) has provided extensive documentation showing that this platform is engaging in predatory practices, including the theft of funds and the use of intimidation tactics against its customers.
Summary of the Incident: * Transaction: 15,000 RUB exchange (YooMoney to UAH).
Status Inconsistency: TorWex initially confirmed the payment as "Paid" but later unilaterally marked the transaction as "Customer refused" and "Cancelled by user," despite the user having provided all requested KYC/Card verification.
Theft: After confirming receipt of funds, TorWex is now refusing to process the exchange or return the money.
Extortion and Intimidation Tactics: When challenged regarding the missing funds, the TorWex security department began threatening the user with the public release of private information (IP addresses, personal data, and correspondence). They are also attempting to coerce the user into deleting public reports by threatening to report them to law enforcement for "fraud," despite the user having followed all of the site's verification protocols.
Red Flags for the Community: 1. Selective Scaming: The platform appears to be using KYC/Verification as a pretext to lock user funds permanently.
Threatening Behavior: Using "Cyber Police" and "Data Leak" threats to silence users is a hallmark of an exit scam or high-risk rogue operation.
Lack of Transparency: There is no verifiable information regarding their operating license or legal status.
Action Taken: * A Trust Flag has been initiated on Bitcointalk: [Insert Link to Flag]
Evidence, including email correspondence and payment receipts, is available in the original report
Conclusion: I strongly urge all community members to avoid TorWex.com . Do not send funds to this platform. If you have already used this service, exercise extreme caution and do not engage with their "Security Department" via further payments or by submitting to their intimidation tactics.
