“Stolen Transaction”

Scott B.
12/7/23

Terrible! Transaction failed and support won't give me a refund. All I am told is the transaction happened but the wallet is down! 72 hours later and nothing. Same canned response that I need to wait longer. Feel like this company might be insolvent. Update... Worked with Brad (awesome guy) the support over at Simple swap and I was able to get a refund and then make a new request which worked. I let them know communication could be better but I am happy they made it right in the end. Changing to 4 stars as communication missed the mark a bit. I would use them again.

“Waiting for 2 hours for an exchange”

Harry B.
2/2/24

Waiting for 2 hours for a simple XMR to BTC exchange! This is outrageous. People are loosing money on the exchange rate because this "instant" exchange is not so instant. They come up with all type of excuses. Stay away from this site!

Well... On 7.03.24 i wanted to exchange USDT=>HMND.
I sent USDT coins to the specified deposit address and waited.

Exchange ID: tg7gajemkg26wih1

Transaction Hash on bscscan:
0xa4a*******eb04c0ee77cc5424aa1d49d1f1dab4a7ced7a9f41a477bdc60d83dd

For some unknown reason the conversion did not continue and i didn't receive back my HMND coins.
I have written to customer support several times asking for my funds back, but each time i get the same answer "Your funds are safe, please don't worry. We will keep you updated".

It's the 12th today! I'm being blatantly ignored.
I categorically do not recommend using this service!

UPD: The conflict was resolved. But i don't raise the rating above 3 stars because of the time wasted.

Dear customer, thank you for sharing your experience!

We are very sorry for the delay and inconvenience. Unfortunately, your swap wasn't completed because the minimal allowable amount of usdtbep20 was changed on our liquidity partner side. Currently, your deposit is stuck on their side due to a temporary issue.

We're doing our best to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

UPDATE: Glad to inform you that the refund was completed successfully! Once again we apologise for the inconvenience and will be glad to see you again on SimpleSwap!

I didn't know I sent Tfuel from a smart contract. The exchange I created stuck at awaiting for 30 minutes and I wondered why it's took so long. I have reached their support and they explained me what was the problem. Happily, the exchange went through and I received my Btc quickly.

Thank you for the great support!

Dear David,

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. It's unfortunate to hear about your experience. We are looking at all phishing attempts seriously and are committed to addressing them promptly.

We recommend reporting this incident to the appropriate law enforcement authorities, and we are more than willing to cooperate by providing any information we have to assist in the investigation.

While we actively fight against phishing, eliminating it entirely is a challenging task. Your cooperation and any additional details you can provide would be valuable in enhancing our security measures.

If you remember the initial URL you entered, it would greatly aid our efforts. Additionally, please note that address changes are not supported on our platform, and thorough checks confirm that the address likely does not belong to us.

Rest assured, we will immediately blacklist this address and share it with the Crypto Defenders Alliance community to raise awareness and prevent similar incidents across crypto services.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Hey customers
Don't be tricked with SimpleSwap. Obviously, it's not DEX but fking Centralized
I highly recommend not using SimpleSwap to those expecting to swap on a decentralized service
At the moment, SimpleSwap locked my fund and doesn't provide any reason
POTENTIALLY INTENTION TO TAKE MY FUND

By respecting the platform, I already provided full info of ID, contract doc, and selfie BUT SimpleSwap did nothing for me. Even they are hiding the reason of locking my fund (really doubting if there's no reason)
Hey I'm not noob and already know what you guys will say at the end to take my fund

Rebecca L. – SimpleSwap Rep

Hello, thanks for sharing your experience!

The SimpleSwap platform combines the advantages of CEX and DEX. For example, like CEX, we provide the opportunity to exchange a large number of cryptopairs, competitive rates and high speed of exchanges. But at the same time, like DEX, we value customer privacy. Our users don’t need to create an account on our website and store funds there. The client can send funds from their wallet to our deposit address immediately after creating the exchange.
But nevertheless, we don’t work entirely with our own liquidity; we have liquidity providers, which are usually major exchange platforms.

In this case, your funds were stopped at the request of the Binance team for verification. To simplify the process, you can contact their special department through the mail we provided for you. They will give you information about the investigation and ask some questions. Due to restrictions on transferring data to third parties, it will be better and safer if you contact them directly.

Thank you for understanding!

This is a scam! They get your first swap smoothly, then when you commit to other transactions they become shysters. Been waiting almost 8hours after my transaction cleared Coinbase and they're still saying it's "due to liquidity" or they're "asking their partners". Trying to get some dialogue from them and only get what looks like bot responses or broken English. Not sure how they're still in business. Still haven't received my crypto. Contacting SEC, FBI, and IG. Stay away from these crooks!

Tip for consumers:
Stay away from this scam site

Exchange took 2 hours. Then failed.
Coins held hostage, similar to the experience of others here.
I was exchanging ETH for RMRK at their floating rate of 1:82.2.
They claim that the rates changed for the worse and offered me much lousier rates (1:76.2) or a refund. When in fact the rates improved for the better as RMRK was taking a dip over the 2 hours they took to fail my transaction, and this was even reflected on their main swap page.

use at your own risk

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Let us explain this issue in more detail.

First of all, please pay attention to the timestamps. Your exchange was created on 12/07/2021 at 15:02:12 UTC. Your ETH deposit was received on 12/07/2021 at 16:17:18 UTC. The estimate for your exchange was calculated at the time of creation, however, your deposit was received with a delay of 1 hour and 15 minutes. During this time, the exchange rate has changed and your order received "failed" status on 12/07/2021 at 16:21:16 UTC. We always stop swaps if the rate changes significantly (> 5%) during the exchange to avoid losing our clients' funds.

We in no way impose a rate on you, and we offered you a refund, specifying the current market rate. You preferred to complete the swap at the current rate, and we did it at your request.

We are deeply sorry that you have faced such a situation! Unfortunately, this happens in the crypto world - we do our best to make it safer for our customers. Please do not forget about the fixed-rate type of swap that locks the rate for your exchange, while the floating rate changes periodically.

Hope for your understanding! Please feel free to contact us at (support@simpleswap.io) with any questions.

Like Bill S from 3/27/21 I had exact same thing happen. First transaction went smooth and quick on 3/23/21, now second on 4/11 they start their crap. Take your coins then nothing! When you email about transaction, they ask for pictures, then videos, then transaction picture, then transaction hash text, then exchange ID, then moree and more BS. I too had to contact, Coinbase, Youtube, local police and now FBI cyber crimes department. Stay away from these scammers!

I sent usdt near to them, but they said it was on a wrong contract and exchange completion would not be possible. Instead they refunded usdt to me. I had to send them 0.5 near to cover network fees to issue the refund. Actually, it's too much for the network fees. They explained that they always request more amount in such cases and refund left amount back because the network fees aren't fixed. Anyway, I received back full refund and 0.5 near as well!

The rep responds in broken English, which gives a me a weird video as I read these reviews. Seems most are obvious bots and what I feel are the true genuine reviews are the bad. Screen shots and all! This was exactly my fear and good thing I checked before I too could fall victim. Yikes, hope you all get your coins. I'm also not quite understanding exactly why a transaction can take 11 hours or whatever to "show" or "appear". These don't seem to be issues elsewhere ‍ but what do I know

Hello! Yesterday am I initiated a swap (Link--> to XDC). The Link was sent to the requested address as per the Simple Swap system. This was deducted from my coinable pro account almost immediately. As I type, it has been 23 hours without fulfillment. I sent a help email to "*******@simple swap"... Lets see how long this takes to solve.

**Update**
A few hours after I contacted the support team, they solved the problem and at todays Link exchange rate which favored my position.
A minor hiccup and resolved fairly quickly. I would use their services again.

This company used to be rock solid. However, they are getting sketchy. I traded BNB for LRC, the transaction didn't go through. Now they want a VIDEO of me logging into my exchange before returning the BNB. No one should ask you for a video of you logging into your exchange/wallet. Use another provider, it's not worth the risk... BTW, three days and counting and they still haven't refunded the BNB.

Hi Daniel,

Could you clarify if you contacted support at support@simpleswap.io? If you have already contacted us, please provide your ticket number.
Thank you in advance.

UPD: We have reviewed your exchange in detail. Firstly, you sent an amount slightly less than expected, which also slightly adjusted the final amount relative to the expected estimate.

Also please note that you have chosen the FLOKI ERC-20 token. Unfortunately, the network fee in the ERC-20 network is quite high. In this case, the cost to send FLOKI to your address was $6.78, which is the majority of the fees you are talking about.
In order to experience less slippage in the rate, we recommend choosing an exchange on the network with the lowest gas fee, such as FLOKI BSC, which we also support.

If you have questions or objections, you can always contact our support team at support@simpleswap.io. We will be happy to answer all your questions.

David at Simpleswap customer service was not only professional but courteous and helpful following up all the way through my transaction.
I use simple swap lots in my crypto business but this was the first time my funds didn't arrive to the destination. Simpleswap did their research and was on top of the situation from beginning to the end and after they did their due diligence I was able to receive my full refund. Key thing is to make sure you create an account and do your transactions there so you can have a history.

Thanks Simpleswap and David!

Hi Matthias,

The output transaction of your swap is currently in the "Processing" status in our wallet. The exchange process has already been completed and the swapped funds are on their way to your wallet.
In this case, we can only wait, since the transaction can either be rejected by our wallet or go through. If we resend now, then there is a possibility of double-spending if the first payout is successful.
Delays in the sending are usually associated with the coin's network congestion or technical issues. However, you should not worry, your funds are 100% safe and we will do our best to receive them as soon as possible.
We are deeply sorry for keeping you waiting! We will keep an eye on your swap and get back to you with the transaction hash once the payout is completed.

UPD: Your swap was successfully finished. Our support team sent you a transaction hash via the live chat. If you arise any questions you can contact us at any time via email at support@simpleswap.io.

I attempted to exchange xdc for btc and followed the prompts and video from YouTube. It got stuck on step 3 but my xdc was sent to an address. I contacted support however it is a Saturday. It is going to be a long wait to hear back from them since I do not want to loose my investment. Not sure what happened or why it froze but the transaction went through from my wallet holding xdc. I pray its not gone. Please advise!
