I used Exodus to swap BTC to USDT, and the transaction was automatically processed through ChangeNOW (their third-party partner). Everything seemed fine until my exchange was suddenly stopped for KYC verification — even though I was using my personal wallet.
I submitted all required KYC documents twice, but both attempts failed. After that, I decided I no longer wanted to continue and requested a refund. According to ChangeNOW’s own Terms of Use, if a user refuses to pass KYC, they will receive a refund to the original address. I quoted their policy multiple times, clearly stating:
“If a User refuses to pass the procedure, the User will be provided with a refund.”
However, despite waiting over five days, their support team kept refusing to refund my BTC and kept delaying with generic answers. This is completely against what they publicly promise on their website.
At this point, ChangeNOW is holding my funds hostage, even though I complied with their requests in good faith. Their communication is slow, unclear, and not transparent.
I strongly advise anyone using Exodus Wallet or any other platform that integrates ChangeNOW to be extremely careful. Once your transaction is stopped for KYC, you risk losing control of your funds, even if you later choose not to complete verification — they might simply keep your money.
This is unacceptable and unethical behavior from a company that claims to offer “non-custodial” services. If you value your crypto and privacy, avoid ChangeNOW at all costs.

We’re sorry to hear about your negative experience and appreciate you taking the time to share detailed feedback.
ChangeNOW is a non-custodial cryptocurrency exchange, which means transactions are processed automatically and funds are not stored by us. However, in certain cases, a transaction may be paused for KYC/AML verification when flagged by our security or compliance systems. This process is necessary to ensure that all exchanges comply with international anti-money laundering standards.
Regarding refunds, our Terms of Use state that if a user refuses to pass KYC, a refund may be issued after the required checks are completed. In some cases, this review can take additional time, especially if third-party compliance partners are involved.
We understand the inconvenience caused and apologize for the delay.
| Azez dada | October 25, 2025 17:49 |
However, in my case, this process has already been ongoing for several days, and all necessary reviews should have been completed by now. I have already provided my documents twice and later clearly stated that I refuse to continue KYC and request a refund, as allowed by your Terms of Use (Section 3.8.2).
That section does not state that refunds can be delayed indefinitely — it specifies a 3-day verification window, after which the user can refuse KYC and receive a refund. My situation already exceeds that period.
Please confirm that my refund is now being processed and provide the transaction hash or expected completion time. I’ve been patient, but I cannot wait any longer without a clear update.
If this is not resolved within 24 hours, I will proceed to file a formal complaint with BestChange and share this case publicly, including all correspondence. I prefer to settle this matter directly and amicably.
Thank you for understanding and for processing my refund promptly.
| ChangeNow admin | October 25, 2025 18:00 |
We completely understand your frustration and would like to clarify that, while Section 3.8.2 of our Terms of Use allows users to refuse KYC and request a refund, such refunds can only be issued once the necessary AML compliance checks are finalized:
"In limited cases (if the transaction is suspected of being connected to illegal activities) we reserve the right to freeze your exchange transaction for any period of time necessary to complete AML/KYC procedure and all relevant investigations. In such case we may refund the transaction upon the request provided by the relevant authorized bodies."
These checks are conducted to ensure the legitimacy of all transactions and are sometimes handled with the assistance of third-party partners, which may extend the review time beyond the standard period.
We assure you that your case has not been forgotten or ignored. Our team is continuing to work on your request, and as soon as the compliance review is completed, you will receive a letter by email.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we finalize this matter.
| Azez dada | October 25, 2025 18:15 |
I have completed the KYC verification two separate times, both of which were rejected. After those repeated failures, I have decided to refuse further verification and request an immediate refund of my BTC to the same sending address.
Under your Terms of Use — Section 3.8.2, users who refuse KYC after the 3-day verification window are entitled to a refund. My cooperation has been full and transparent, and there is no ongoing investigation that justifies further delay.
Please confirm that my refund is being processed and provide either a transaction hash or an estimated completion time.
I still prefer to resolve this peacefully and directly with your team.
Thank you for your quick response and cooperation.
| ChangeNow admin | October 25, 2025 19:29 |
Our compliance department will review your case and provide an update regarding the refund status as soon as possible.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to resolve this matter promptly and in accordance with our policies.
| BestChange admin | October 27, 2025 07:56 |
Unfortunately, according to the AML analysis performed, the cryptocurrency you sent is High Risk.
In this case, according to the information security rules, the international AML/KYC policy https://www.bestchange.com/faq.html#frozen-transaction and the exchange service regulations, additional verification is required to consider a refund. You agreed to the rules and the AML policy of the exchanger when creating the order.
The status of your complaint is changed to neutral with the capability of commenting.
Sincerely, administration of the BestChange exchanger monitor.

Thank you for reaching out. We understand that this situation may be frustrating.
Your transaction was flagged as “High Risk” as part of our AML and security procedures. To ensure the safety of your funds, completion of the required KYC verification is necessary before any further action can be taken.
Once the verification is completed, our compliance team will review your case and provide updates promptly. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to keep your funds secure.
| Azez dada | October 27, 2025 14:22 |
As per my lawful right under international AML transparency standards, I am now formally requesting:
1. Documented proof of the “High Risk” classification — including the transaction hash, the addresses flagged, and the name of the risk-scoring provider or tool used (e.g. Chainalysis, Elliptic, etc.).
2. Legal justification for denying refund under your own Terms of Use, Section 3.8.2, which explicitly allows users to refuse KYC and receive a refund after internal checks.
Please note that I have already:
Attempted KYC twice (both failed);
Explicitly refused further verification and Been waiting for a resolution for 1 week now
At this point, the ongoing retention of my funds without clear proof or a refund constitutes unjustified withholding of customer assets.
I am again requesting that you:
Provide full AML documentation supporting the “High Risk” claim, or
Issue a refund to the originating BTC address immediately.
| ChangeNow admin | October 27, 2025 14:58 |
Thank you for your detailed message. We understand your concerns and appreciate you taking the time to share all the information.
To ensure the security and confidentiality of your data, please continue the discussion directly with our compliance team at [email protected]. They will review your case in detail and provide all necessary updates securely through that channel.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
| Azez dada | October 27, 2025 14:59 |
| ChangeNow admin | October 27, 2025 15:08 |
Thank you for your message. Your case is currently under review by our compliance team. They will provide a secure and detailed response directly in your support ticket as soon as the review is complete.
We appreciate your patience while they carefully handle your request.
| Azez dada | October 29, 2025 14:18 |
“Unfortunately, we couldn’t verify you. We couldn’t verify your profile because your documents have been submitted on another profile.”
This message clearly proves that I completed the verification process but was blocked by Sumsub’s system, not due to my refusal or non-cooperation. I have followed every instruction provided by your team and fulfilled my compliance obligations in good faith.
Therefore, I now formally request that you:
1. Refund my funds immediately to the originating BTC address or
2. Provide a clear, documented explanation (with verifiable evidence) as to why my refund is being withheld despite my compliance.
Under your Terms of Use, Section 3.8.2, users who refuse or cannot complete KYC are entitled to a refund after the necessary internal review. That process has now been concluded — I have cooperated fully, and the failure originated on your verification partner’s side.
Continued withholding of my funds without refund or documentation constitutes unjustified retention of customer assets and non-compliance with your own policy.
| ChangeNow admin | October 29, 2025 14:48 |
Thank you for your message and for your continued cooperation throughout the verification process.
Please kindly follow the instructions provided in your active support ticket, as our compliance and verification teams will continue to handle your case through that channel. All necessary guidance and next steps will be communicated there directly.
Unfortunately, we are unable to proceed with verification or a refund until the identity verification process is successfully completed in accordance with our internal compliance requirements and those of our verification provider.
We appreciate your understanding and patience while this matter is being reviewed.
| Azez dada | December 2, 2025 13:59 |
I am adding this update to my previous review because nothing has changed after more than 2 months.
My exchange through ChangeNOW was stopped for “AML investigation”, even though the funds are 100% mine and I completed everything they requested, including KYC. After that, they refused to provide any transparent timeline. Every reply is copy-paste: “no ETA,” “investigation ongoing,” and “we will update you when we have information.”
Today, my money is still frozen, and no real progress has been shown. I have asked for basic clarity (case number, stage, timeframe). They only provided a ticket number and keep repeating the same message.
I am sharing this so other users understand the real risks:
**your funds can be held for months without any clear reason or resolution**, even when you fully cooperate.
I will update this review if anything changes.
| ChangeNow admin | December 2, 2025 14:06 |
Thank you for your follow-up and for sharing the details of your case. We understand how concerning this situation is.
Please note that transactions flagged for AML review require thorough verification, which can sometimes take longer than anticipated. Unfortunately, there is no standard ETA for these processes.
Rest assured, all updates and progress will be provided in your ticket. We kindly ask that you follow the ticket for the latest information to ensure you receive timely updates.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and cooperation while this review is ongoing.
| Azez dada | December 2, 2025 14:08 |
My funds have now been held for an extended period with no clear ETA, and this delay is putting me in serious difficulty. I am currently unable to cover essential expenses and outstanding debts because the money under review is the only balance I rely on.
I kindly request that my case be prioritized and that my funds be released as soon as possible, or at least that I receive a concrete update with a clear timeline. I have cooperated fully, provided all requested documents, and complied with every step of the process.
I respectfully ask for urgent action, as the continued delay is causing significant hardship. Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to your prompt resolution.
| ChangeNow admin | December 2, 2025 14:18 |
Thank you for your message and for explaining your situation in detail. We understand how challenging this must be.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and cooperation while our Compliance team completes the review.

Please treat this matter as urgent and provide me with a clear update on the exact status of my case and the expected date for the release or return of my funds.
I sincerely hope this matter can finally be resolved within the coming days.

We understand how difficult it is to wait, especially when your case has been ongoing for such a long time.
Please be assured that your case remains under active review by our Compliance team. AML-related review require a thorough assessment, so we're unfortunately unable to provide a precise ETA while the review is in progress.
We also want to reassure you that we're always here to help. While we completely understand the desire for frequent updates, repeatedly sending the same messages does not speed up the review process.
Please continue communicating with us through your existing support ticket. That's where our Compliance team will provide all updates as soon as new information becomes available.
We're doing everything we can to help resolve your case as quickly as possible.
| Abdalla | July 3, 2026 12:25 |
| ChangeNow admin | July 3, 2026 13:17 |
We understand your concerns and how strongly you feel about this situation.
Your case is still under active Compliance review, where all relevant details are being carefully assessed. These checks are carried out to ensure security and regulatory safety for every transaction and in some cases they may take longer depending on the complexity of the review.
At the moment, there is no change in the status of your case, and it remains under review. Please continue following updates in your support ticket, where the Compliance team will provide any new information as soon as it becomes available.
We are doing everything we can to move this forward as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding.
| Abdalla | July 3, 2026 15:17 |
| ChangeNow admin | July 3, 2026 15:25 |
We completely understand why the lack of a specific timeframe is concerning.
AML/Compliance reviews don't follow a fixed schedule because every case is different. The duration depends on the information that needs to be reviewed and verified, so we're unable to provide an estimated completion date until the process is finished.
Please be assured that your case has not been forgotten or put aside. It remains under active review and we're continuing to do everything we can to help move it toward a resolution as quickly as possible.
As soon as there is any progress or new information, it will be shared with you through your existing support ticket.

We want to reassure you that your case is not being ignored or set aside. It remains under active review by the responsible team and we continue working on it within the required procedures.
AML/Compliance cases can take different amounts of time depending on the specific circumstances and the checks involved. While we understand your wish to have a clear timeframe, we are unfortunately not able to provide an exact completion date while the review is ongoing.
We kindly ask you to continue communicating through your existing support ticket, as this allows the team to keep all information organized and provide updates as soon as they become available.
We are here to assist you and will continue doing everything possible to help move your case forward.
| Abdalla | July 8, 2026 10:58 |
Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately, after approximately eight months, I continue to receive the same generic explanation without any meaningful progress, specific information, or estimated timeframe.
I have fully cooperated with your Compliance team and submitted all requested documents and information many months ago. Since then, I have not been asked to provide anything further. The only thing that has changed is the amount of time my funds have remained blocked.
While I understand that compliance reviews are an important part of your procedures, no reasonable review should take this long without reaching a conclusion or providing a clear explanation for such an extraordinary delay.
I can no longer accept being asked to wait indefinitely. I respectfully request the immediate completion of this review and the return of my funds without any further unnecessary delays.
I look forward to receiving a concrete resolution rather than another standard status update.
| ChangeNow admin | July 8, 2026 11:47 |
We recognize that waiting without a final outcome can be very difficult, especially when you are looking for clarity and answers. Please know that your case remains with the relevant team and is being handled through the appropriate process.
At this stage, unfortunately, we are unable to process a return of the funds while the review is still ongoing. Any further actions can only be determined once the necessary checks and procedures have been completed.
Your support ticket remains the main channel for communication with the Compliance team. You can continue asking any questions or sharing any additional concerns there and the team will respond with any available updates or information as the review progresses.
We remain available and will continue doing our best to assist you and help move the case forward.
| Abdalla | July 8, 2026 18:51 |
Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately, your reply once again repeats the same general statements that I have been receiving for many months, without providing any meaningful update, explanation, or timeline.
My funds have now been held for approximately eight months. I submitted all requested documents long ago and have fully cooperated with your Compliance team throughout this entire process. Since then, no additional information has been requested from me.
While you state that the review is still ongoing, eight months is far beyond any reasonable timeframe for a compliance review. Continuing to ask me to wait indefinitely without a clear explanation or expected completion date is not an acceptable resolution.
I respectfully disagree with marking this claim as solved. My issue has not been resolved, my funds have not been returned, and the review remains open after eight months.
I respectfully request that this review be concluded as soon as possible and that my funds be returned without any further unnecessary delay. I am waiting for a real resolution, not another standard status update.
Thank you.
| ChangeNow admin | July 8, 2026 22:03 |
We understand your frustration and appreciate your cooperation throughout this process.
We recognize that waiting for a final outcome can be mentally challenging. Rest assured that your case remains under review but any further action can only be determined once the necessary checks have been completed.
Your support ticket remains the primary channel for communication with the Compliance team.
We appreciate your patience and remain committed to assisting you throughout the process.
| Abdalla | July 9, 2026 19:00 |
Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately, this is once again the same generic reply that I have been receiving for many months. It does not provide any new information, any explanation for the extraordinary delay, or any estimated timeframe for resolving my case.
My funds have now been held for approximately eight months. I submitted all requested documents long ago and have fully cooperated with your Compliance team. Since then, I have received no additional requests for information or clarification.
I understand the importance of compliance procedures. However, a review lasting approximately eight months without any concrete outcome or timeline cannot reasonably be considered normal.
I can no longer continue waiting indefinitely. I respectfully request that the review be completed without further unnecessary delay and that my funds be returned as soon as possible.
Until my funds are returned, my case cannot be considered resolved. I sincerely hope that the next update will contain a concrete decision rather than another standard status message.
Thank you.
| ChangeNow admin | July 10, 2026 00:04 |
We genuinely understand your feelings and are trying to do our best to get the resolution for you. However, it might take some time. We're grateful that you've been patiently waiting this whole time.
We assure you that the review of your case is still ongoing and that we keep you regularly updated in the relevant ticket. Your case is not resolved yet and it is in progress, we're actively working on it.
Kindly keep in touch with us in your support ticket.
Thank you for your understanding.
| Abdalla | July 10, 2026 09:03 |
Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately, after approximately eight months, I continue to receive the same assurances without any actual progress, concrete explanation, or expected completion date.
I have fully cooperated with your Compliance team and submitted all requested documents many months ago. Since then, I have not been asked to provide any additional information. Despite this, my funds remain blocked and I still have no resolution.
While I appreciate your acknowledgment that my case is still in progress, an ongoing review cannot justify holding my funds indefinitely. Eight months is far beyond any reasonable timeframe for a compliance review.
I respectfully disagree with marking this claim as solved. My issue is not resolved because my funds have not been returned, and I continue to wait without any meaningful update.
I can no longer accept indefinite delays. I respectfully request that the review be completed as soon as possible and that my funds be returned without any further unnecessary delay.
I sincerely hope that your next response will contain a concrete decision regarding my case rather than another standard status update.
Thank you.
| ChangeNow admin | July 10, 2026 09:21 |
We appreciate that you have fully cooperated with all requested verification steps. At the moment, your case is still being reviewed by our Compliance team and unfortunately we cannot provide a specific timeframe until that review is completed.
Please be assured that your case has not been forgotten or put on hold. It remains under active consideration and the team continues to work on it in accordance with the required procedures.
As we have already provided all the information we are currently able to share publicly, we will be closing this public claim. This does not mean your case has been closed or that work on it has stopped. Our Compliance team will continue handling your case through your existing support ticket, where any new information or decisions will be communicated as soon as they become available.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding. We remain committed to assisting you and seeing your case through to its resolution.

Thank you for your response.
I appreciate your acknowledgment that my case is still under review. However, after approximately eight months, I am still receiving the same generic explanation without any concrete progress, meaningful update, or estimated timeframe.
I have fully cooperated with your Compliance team and provided all requested documents many months ago. Since then, no additional information has been requested from me, yet my funds continue to be withheld.
While you have decided to close this public claim, I respectfully disagree with considering the matter resolved. Closing the claim does not resolve the underlying issue. My case remains unresolved because my funds have not been returned and the review has still not reached a conclusion after eight months.
I can no longer accept an indefinite delay. A compliance review should be completed within a reasonable timeframe, and eight months is far beyond what can reasonably be considered proportionate.
I respectfully request that the review be concluded without any further unnecessary delay and that my funds be returned as soon as possible.
I sincerely hope that the next communication I receive will contain a final decision and the return of my funds, rather than another standard update stating that the review is still ongoing.
Thank you.

We understand why the ongoing waiting period has been frustrating and appreciate the patience and cooperation you have shown throughout this process.
Please know that your case remains with the appropriate team and continues to be reviewed. The review has not been abandoned or left unattended, but cases involving compliance checks must be handled carefully based on the specific circumstances involved.
We understand your request for a clear resolution; unfirtunately, we are unable to provide a confirmed completion date while the review is still in progress.
All available information that we can share publicly has already been provided, which is why the public claim is being closed. This action does not affect the status of your case or stop the ongoing work. Our Compliance team will continue communicating with you through your existing support ticket and will provide any updates there as soon as they become available.
We kindly ask you to continue the conversation through the official ticket so all details remain centralized and the team can handle your case as effectively as possible.
Thank you for your understanding. We remain committed to assisting you throughout this process.
| Abdalla | July 10, 2026 11:22 |
Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately, this is yet another response that repeats the same statements I have been receiving for approximately eight months. While you continue to assure me that my case is under review, there has still been no concrete progress, no explanation for the extraordinary delay, and no indication of when this matter will finally be resolved.
I have fully complied with every request from your Compliance team and submitted all requested documentation many months ago. Since then, I have not been asked to provide any additional information, yet my funds remain unavailable.
I understand that compliance procedures are important. However, holding a customer's funds for approximately eight months without reaching a conclusion or providing a reasonable timeframe is not a proportionate or acceptable outcome.
Closing this public claim does not change the fact that my issue remains unresolved. My funds have not been returned, and I continue to wait without any meaningful progress.
I can no longer continue waiting indefinitely. I respectfully request that the compliance review be finalized as soon as possible and that my funds be returned without any further unnecessary delay.
I sincerely hope that the next communication will contain a final decision and the return of my funds, rather than another identical status update.
Thank you.
| ChangeNow admin | July 10, 2026 11:24 |
We understand how exhausting this extended waiting period has been and we appreciate your continued patience and cooperation throughout the process.
Please be assured that your case is still being handled by the responsible team and remains under review. The matter has not been forgotten and the team continues working through the required procedures based on the details of your case.
At this stage, we kindly ask you to continue following the updates in your existing support ticket. This is the main channel where the Compliance team can provide case-specific information and any further progress as soon as it becomes available.
We truly understand your wish for a final resolution and remain committed to assisting you and moving the case forward as much as possible.
Thank you for your understanding.
| Abdalla | July 10, 2026 11:31 |
Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately, after approximately eight months, every reply I receive contains the same general statements without any substantive update, explanation for the prolonged delay, or indication of when this review will finally be completed.
I have fully cooperated with your Compliance team and submitted all requested documents many months ago. Since then, I have not been asked to provide any additional information. There is nothing further required from my side, yet my funds continue to be withheld.
I appreciate your confirmation that the case is still under review. However, after such an extended period, simply repeating that the review is ongoing is no longer a satisfactory response. Eight months is an extraordinary amount of time to keep a customer's funds without reaching a final decision.
I cannot continue waiting indefinitely. I respectfully request that the review be completed as soon as possible and that my funds be returned without any further unnecessary delay.
I sincerely hope that the next update will provide a final resolution and the return of my funds, rather than another message confirming that the review is still ongoing.
Thank you.
| ChangeNow admin | July 10, 2026 12:16 |
We understand that receiving repeated status updates without the final outcome you are waiting for can be very frustrating, especially after such a long period of time.
Please know that your case continues to receive attention from the responsible team and the review process is still ongoing. We understand the importance of reaching a resolution and assure you that the matter is being handled through the appropriate procedures.
At this moment, we kindly ask you to continue the communication through your existing support ticket, as this allows the Compliance team to keep all case details together and provide any available updates directly to you.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation. Our team remains committed to assisting you and doing everything possible within the review process to help move your case forward.
Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately, after approximately eight months, I continue to receive the same status update without any meaningful progress, specific explanation, or indication of when this review will finally be completed.
I have fully cooperated with your Compliance team and submitted all requested documents many months ago. Since then, I have not been asked to provide any additional information, and there is nothing further required from my side. Nevertheless, my funds remain blocked.
I understand that compliance procedures require careful consideration. However, keeping my funds under review for approximately eight months without reaching a conclusion or providing any realistic timeframe is not a reasonable or proportionate process.
At this point, I can no longer continue waiting indefinitely. I respectfully request that the review be finalized without any further unnecessary delay and that my funds be returned as soon as possible.
I hope that the next response will contain a concrete decision regarding my case and the return of my funds, rather than another generic confirmation that the review is still ongoing.
Thank you.
| ChangeNow admin | July 10, 2026 12:34 |
We understand how difficult it is to remain in this situation while waiting for a final outcome and we appreciate the time and effort you have already invested in cooperating with the review process.
Please be assured that your case is still actively being handled by the responsible team. The review remains ongoing and your concerns are being taken into account as part of the process.
We kindly ask you to keep monitoring your existing support ticket, as any case-specific updates or further information will be shared with you there directly by the team.
We truly appreciate your patience and understand your desire for a clear resolution. Our team remains focused on assisting you and moving the case forward as efficiently as possible.
Thank you for your understanding.
| Abdalla | July 10, 2026 13:04 |
Thank you for your reply.
I acknowledge that you continue to state my case is under review. However, after approximately eight months, I have still not received any substantive update or decision regarding my funds.
Throughout this entire process, I have responded to every request from your Compliance team and provided all the information that was requested. For many months now, there have been no further questions or document requests from your side.
I fully respect the need for compliance procedures, but such an extended review without a conclusion places an unreasonable burden on me as a customer. The repeated assurance that the case is still being processed does not address the fact that my funds remain inaccessible after all this time.
I respectfully ask that my case now be brought to a conclusion. If there is no further information required from me, I kindly request that my funds be returned without further delay.
I remain available to cooperate should anything else genuinely be needed, but I sincerely hope the next communication will provide a final resolution instead of another status confirmation.
Thank you for your attention.
| ChangeNow admin | July 10, 2026 13:29 |
Please be assured that your case remains actively handled by the responsible team. The review is still ongoing and all available information related to your case is being considered as part of the assessment.
We kindly ask you to continue following the updates in your existing support ticket, as this is where the team will provide any case-specific information or further requests once available.
We understand your wish to have this matter resolved as soon as possible and our team remains committed to assisting you and working through the necessary steps to reach an outcome.
Thank you for your understanding and continued cooperation.
| Abdalla | July 10, 2026 15:23 |
Thank you for your reply.
I understand that you continue to state my case is under review. However, after approximately eight months, I still have no decision, no explanation for the prolonged delay, and no indication of when this matter will finally be concluded.
I have fulfilled every request made by your Compliance team and have remained fully cooperative throughout this process. Since all requested information was provided months ago, I do not understand why my funds are still being withheld.
At this point, I believe I have done everything expected from my side. I respectfully ask that the review be completed as soon as possible. If no further action is required from me, I kindly request the immediate return of my funds.
I sincerely hope that the next update will contain a final outcome instead of another confirmation that the review is still ongoing.
Thank you.
| ChangeNow admin | July 10, 2026 15:49 |
Your case remains under active review and while we are unable to provide a confirmed timeframe at this stage, please know that it continues to receive attention from the responsible specialists.
As soon as there are any updates or new information that can be shared, they will be provided to you directly through your existing support ticket.
Thank you again for your patience and understanding.
| Abdalla | July 10, 2026 15:57 |
Thank you for your reply.
I appreciate that you have forwarded my concerns to the Compliance team. However, after approximately eight months, I am still in exactly the same position as before. My funds remain inaccessible, and I have not received any concrete decision regarding my case.
I have cooperated fully since the beginning of this process and provided every document and piece of information that was requested. As there have been no additional requests from your side for many months, I believe there is nothing further required from me.
While I understand that you are unable to provide a specific timeframe, an open-ended review that has lasted for approximately eight months is extremely difficult to justify. I have already waited far longer than what could reasonably be expected.
I respectfully ask that my case now be brought to a conclusion. If there are no outstanding requirements on my side, I kindly request the prompt return of my funds.
I sincerely hope that the next update will contain a final decision instead of another confirmation that the review is still ongoing.
Thank you.
| ChangeNow admin | July 10, 2026 16:13 |
We understand your concerns and appreciate your patience.
Your case is still under active review by our Compliance team and your latest message has been forwarded to them. At this stage, we kindly ask you to continue the conversation through your existing support ticket, as this is where any updates or decisions regarding your case will be shared.
Thank you for your understanding.
| Abdalla | July 10, 2026 16:15 |
Thank you for your response.
I note that my latest message has been forwarded to the Compliance team. However, this does not change the fact that my case has now remained unresolved for approximately eight months.
During this entire period, I have fully cooperated, submitted all requested documentation, and promptly responded to every inquiry. There have been no additional requests from your side for many months.
I respectfully believe that such an extended review without a final decision is no longer reasonable. Continuing to ask me to wait without any indication of when this process will end leaves me with no certainty regarding my own funds.
I also respectfully disagree with marking this claim as solved. My issue will only be resolved once the compliance review has been completed and my funds have been returned.
I kindly ask you to finalize this matter as soon as possible and provide a definitive outcome instead of another status confirmation.
Thank you for your attention.
| ChangeNow admin | July 10, 2026 16:51 |
We understand your position and appreciate that you have remained cooperative throughout the review.
Please be assured that your case is still being handled by our Compliance team and we have once again shared your concerns with them.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
| Abdalla | July 10, 2026 20:51 |
Thank you for your reply.
I acknowledge that my concerns have once again been forwarded to your Compliance team. However, after approximately eight months, I am still waiting for a final decision regarding my funds.
From my side, I have fulfilled every obligation, provided all requested documentation, and remained available throughout the entire review. As no further information has been requested from me for many months, I do not believe there is anything left for me to contribute to this process.
At this stage, I am simply asking for the review to be completed. I have already waited far beyond what I believe is a reasonable period, and I cannot continue waiting without a resolution.
I respectfully request that my case be finalized as soon as possible and that my funds be returned without any further unnecessary delay.
I look forward to receiving a final decision rather than another confirmation that the review is still ongoing.
Thank you.
| ChangeNow admin | July 10, 2026 23:29 |

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

Thank you for your response.
I understand that my case is still under review. However, after approximately eight months, I remain without a final decision or any substantive explanation regarding why this process continues for such an extended period.
I have consistently cooperated with every request made by your Compliance team and submitted all required information long ago. Since then, no further action has been requested from me.
At this point, there is little more I can do except wait. I have already demonstrated my willingness to cooperate, and I respectfully ask that the same level of diligence be applied to bringing this matter to a conclusion.
I would appreciate the completion of the review and the return of my funds as soon as possible. A final resolution is now far more important than receiving another confirmation that the review is ongoing.
I look forward to your next communication containing a definitive outcome.
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply.
I understand that compliance reviews require careful analysis. However, my case has now been under review for approximately eight months, and during this entire period I have received only general status updates without any tangible progress or conclusion.
I have fully complied with all of your requests and provided every document that was requested from me. For many months, there has been no indication that any further information is needed from my side.
I respectfully believe that this matter has already exceeded a reasonable review period. While I appreciate your commitment to the process, I can no longer continue waiting without a final outcome.
I therefore kindly ask that the review be completed at the earliest opportunity and that my funds be returned if there are no outstanding requirements on my part.
Until my funds are returned, I cannot consider this issue resolved, regardless of the status of this public claim. I sincerely hope that your next communication will contain a final decision instead of another general update.
Thank you for your time and attention.

I appreciate your apology. However, after approximately eight months, I am still waiting for a final decision regarding my case. During this entire period, I have fully cooperated with your Compliance team and provided all requested information, while no additional documents or clarification have been requested from me for many months.
Although I understand that verification procedures require time, such an extended delay without a conclusion has become extremely difficult to accept. I respectfully ask that the review now be completed and that my funds be returned as soon as possible.
I sincerely hope that the next update will contain a final resolution rather than another confirmation that the review is still ongoing. Thank you.

According to the exchanger, the operation under the order has been temporarily suspended because the incoming funds triggered an AML alert - a risk signal requiring additional check.
We are sorry that you have encountered these circumstances. We understand that the suspension of the operation may cause inconvenience and additional questions. At the same time, please note that before creating the order, you were informed about the possibility of an AML check and agreed to the exchange service’s AML rules.
In such cases, the exchanger is required to review the incoming assets and act in accordance with its internal AML procedures. On the monitor’s side, we are making sure that the order maintains a clear status and that the review does not turn into an indefinite wait without further clarification.
At this stage, the claim will be moved to neutral status, while the option to continue commenting will remain available. This status change does not mean that the matter is closed or being left without attention.
We will continue to keep the case under review and will follow it through to a logical and clear resolution.
Sincerely, administration of the BestChange exchanger monitor.

I am writing to submit an official complaint against ChangeNOW regarding transaction/request ***
My funds were stolen by ***, and despite my active cooperation and the direct involvement of law enforcement authorities (LEA), ChangeNOW has been withholding my money for months, constantly creating artificial bureaucratic obstacles instead of helping a victim of fraud.
The local law enforcement authorities have already provided ChangeNOW with all the necessary transaction hashes, wallet addresses, and official details required to resolve this matter. Despite this, the ChangeNOW Compliance Department continues to stall the process, claiming they are "waiting for direct communication through official channels" and shifting the blame onto the police.
This looks like a deliberate tactic to indefinitely retain my frozen funds under the guise of AML compliance.
I demand that ChangeNOW immediately review the provided official data, stop using repetitive excuses, and coordinate the prompt return of my funds. I will continue escalating this issue to monitoring platforms, partner wallets, and financial regulators until my funds are released.
| ChangeNow admin | July 17, 2026 13:20 |

We’re sorry to hear about what happened and understand how difficult and frustrating this experience may be. We have forwarded your message and concerns to our Compliance team for further review.

Hello BestChange Support Team,
I am following up on the response provided by the ChangeNOW representative in this thread, where they stated: "your case is currently being handled as part of an AML review and our Compliance team is actively working on it."
Since ChangeNOW continues to use vague phrasing, I would like to publicly ask ChangeNOW to clarify:
@ChangeNOW representative: Could you please explicitly confirm here on BestChange whether my funds — which were stolen from me by fraudsters — are currently frozen or withheld by ChangeNOW pending this AML review?
I request BestChange administration to take note of this situation, as the exchange service continues to hold my funds stolen by scammers without providing clear timelines or transparent updates.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Nilufar.
| ChangeNow admin | July 20, 2026 10:22 |
Thank you for your follow-up.
We understand why you would like clarification regarding the status of the funds.
As your case involves an ongoing law enforcement request, we are unable to publicly disclose or confirm case-specific information regarding the status of the funds here. Such information can only be shared through the appropriate official communication channels with the relevant authorities.
We remain ready to cooperate fully and will promptly provide all necessary information once we receive the requested communication and documentation from the competent authority through the established official process.
As previously explained, your support ticket remains the appropriate channel for any case-related updates available to us.
We appreciate your patience while this process continues.

We understand your concerns and appreciate you sharing the details of your situation.
Please note that some transactions may require additional compliance checks as part of our AML procedures. These reviews are necessary to ensure the safety of our platform. In certain cases, the compliance team may need additional information before a final decision can be made regarding the transaction.
We have already forwarded your feedback and concerns to our Compliance team for further review. Please be assured that we are doing our best to help move the process forward as quickly as possible.
We kindly ask you to continue the communication through your support ticket, where the team handling your case can provide any available updates and assistance.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation and we want to help you reach a resolution.
| ChangeNow admin | July 15, 2026 13:48 |
Thank you for providing your feedback and sharing the details of your situation.
We understand your concerns regarding the additional Source of Funds (SoF) request. Please note that these checks are part of our AML compliance procedures and may be required in certain cases to verify the origin of funds and complete the review process.
Please continue the communication through your support ticket, where the team can provide any available updates regarding your case.
At this stage, we are waiting for the requested SoF information in your support ticket so that our Compliance team can continue the review of your case and provide further updates.
Thank you for your understanding.

You state that funds 'suspected to be connected to illicit activities' cannot be refunded. However, an internal, automated 'suspicion' by your system is not a legal fact, nor does it grant you the right to permanently confiscate my property. I have already fully proven my identity via Sumsub. If you maintain this serious accusation, I hereby demand that you provide:
- The exact TXID, cluster, or blacklist entity that triggered this flag.
- The official case number or judicial freeze order from a law enforcement authority blocking this refund.
If you cannot provide an official government seizure order, you have no legal ground to withhold my assets. Holding funds indefinitely based on unproven internal suspicions constitutes illegal embezzlement. Process my contractually agreed refund immediately.
| ChangeNow admin | July 15, 2026 14:31 |
As explained in your support ticket, your case is currently undergoing an AML compliance review. In some cases, our Compliance team is required to request additional documentation, including Source of Funds (SoF), which is information confirming the legitimate origin of the funds involved in the transaction.
Our Terms of Use, including section 3.8.2, are available here: https://changenow.io/terms-of-use. Please note that this section should be read together with the other AML-related provisions, which describe situations where additional compliance checks may be required before a case can be resolved.
We genuinely want to help you reach a resolution and have already forwarded your feedback to our Compliance team.
At this stage, we are waiting for the requested SoF information in your support ticket so the review can continue. Once it is received, the team will proceed with your case and provide further updates there.
As we have already provided all currently available explanations regarding this matter, we are moving this claim to commenting status. We look forward to continuing communication with you in your support ticket and remain committed to assisting you throughout the process.

Amount: 29,489.6 USDT
Date: Oct 2024 until now
Issue: Transaction was frozen for AML check. I completed KYC fully.
Problem 1: Support provided a refund TXID which is not found on blockchain explorer.
Problem 2: Then support stated funds seized by FBI LA and gave contact ***. This email returns delivery failure "Address not found". Checked FBI official site, no such email exists. Same for *** — also bounces. Screenshots available.
Current status: Account shows banned, funds not returned for 627 days.
I have IC3 report: ef60c9ee318a4d508165eac2f182bd19 and Exodus ticket 623767.
Request: Please refund 29,489.6 USDT to original address or provide valid on-chain refund TX.
I have all evidence (email bounces, TXID not found) and can provide.

1. You say "under active review by Compliance" for 627 days? My KYC was completed Oct 2024.
2. Provide REAL on-chain TXID: The previous TXID you gave is NOT found on any blockchain explorer. I have video proof.
3. You gave fake FBI email [email protected] which bounces with "Address not found". I have bounce proof. Real FBI Richmond has confirmed case has high victim volume. My IC3 ef60c9ee318a4d508165eac2f182bd19.
4. Pattern same as your 2018 100 BCH case — Roman Lapin Evercode Lab St Petersburg — you returned after 3 months public pressure. Same here.
I request BestChange admin to demand valid TXID within 24h or mark as ***. I have all evidence ready.
Refund 29,489.6 USDT to original address immediately.

this is false claim with 0 proof for 627 days. I demand:
1. Changenow to upload here: fbi seizure warrant with case number, judge signature, and property receipt for order ***. If fbi seized, warrant must exist.
2. Changenow previously gave fake refund txid not found on blockchain + fake fbi email c*** which bounces "address not found". Now they say fbi seized.
3. I contacted real fbi la — no such seizure. Real fbi richmond rhcryptofraud confirmed high victim volume against changenow. My ic3 ***.
4. Same pattern as 2018 100 bch case — *** evercode lab — ***=4619534.0 — Returned only after public pressure after 3 months.
If fbi seized, why did changenow tell me "refunded" with fake txid first? why not show warrant for 627 days?
request bestchange to mark as financial claim and demand valid on-chain txid or warrant within 24h.
I have all evidence: bounce screenshots, fake txid video, exodus ticket ***proving btc went to changenow address, not fbi.

1. Changenow claims "funds seized by fbi official request" — i emailed [email protected] today 8 july 15:26 as they asked — email did not bounce — proof screenshot available — meaning someone operates this fake fbi email! real fbi does not use *** — verified via fbi.Gov ***.
2. If fbi seized, where is seizure warrant with case number + judge signature + property receipt? for 627 days they said "compliance review" then gave fake refund txid not found on blockchain, now new story "fbi seized".
3. Real fbi richmond rhcryptofraud already confirmed high victim volume against changenow. My ic3 *** active. Real fbi never asks via changenow ticket.
4. Exodus ticket *** proves btc went to changenow deposit address, not fbi wallet. So how fbi seized from changenow wallet without warrant to changenow?
i do not confirm "unable to reach them" — i reached — email exists! i demand bestchange to unmark "claim solved" and demand warrant or valid on-chain txid 29,489.6 Usdt within 24h or mark as ***.
This is fbi impersonation under 18 u. S. C. § 912 — Federal felony.
Abhinandan singh — order *** — 29,489.6 Usdt — 627 days.

17:20 changenow admin again asks "screenshot of issue contacting fbi email" — this is irrelevant to my funds!
my issue is not that i cannot contact fbi — my issue is:
1. For 627 days changenow held 29,489.6 Usdt order *** — first said "compliance review", then gave fake refund txid not found on any blockchain explorer (video proof with me), now new story "funds seized by fbi" on july 8 15:55
2. If fbi seized, where is fbi seizure warrant with case number + federal judge signature + property receipt? 0 proof for 627 days! why did they say "refunded" with fake txid first if fbi seized?
3. The email crypto_fraud_la [at] fbi [dot] gov they gave — i tested 8 july 15:26 — no bounce for 36+ min at 16:02 — proof screenshot already attached in my 15:58 comment — this proves mailbox exists and is operated by someone. Real fbi verified via fbi.Gov *** has no such email. This is fbi impersonation 18 u. S. C. 912.
4. Exodus ticket 623767 proves btc went to changenow deposit address, not fbi wallet. How can fbi seize from changenow wallet without warrant to changenow?
5. Real fbi richmond rhcryptofraud confirmed high victim volume against changenow. My ic3 *** active.
I have already provided screenshot proof of no bounce in my 15:58 comment — that is the issue — a fake fbi mailbox that does not bounce.
Demand: changenow to upload here within 24h: fbi warrant with case number + judge signature + receipt for order *** or valid on-chain txid for 29,489.6 Usdt refund verifiable on blockchain.
If not, please unmark "claim solved" (marked at 15:55 without proof) and mark as ***. Financial claims should be 1 active.
Abhinandan singh — order *** — 29,489.6 Usdt — 627 days.

17:25 I renewed claim to 1 active with proof.
17:56 ChangeNOW admin again marked "Claim solved" without warrant/TXID and wrote "we will remove public claim" — Threatening to hide evidence!
This is 2nd time today! Pattern: 15:55 solved, 17:25 renewed, 17:56 solved again!
I have 627 days no refund, fake TXID, fake FBI emails *** verified fake via ***, no warrant.

timeline today july 8, 2026 (all visible above):
15:55 — changenow admin marked "claim solved" without blockchain txid or fbi warrant — fake solved #1
17:25 — i renewed to 1 active with proof (screenshot with me)
17:56 — changenow again "claim solved" without proof + threatened "we will remove public claim" to hide fbi fraud — fake solved #2
18:03 — i renewed again to 1 active
18:09 — changenow again "claim solved" 3rd time same copy-paste template — no txid, no warrant — fake solved #3
this is blatant abuse of "claim solved" button to bury 627-day fraud!
bestchange rules violation: exchanger can mark solved only with verifiable on-chain refund hash. Where is refund txid for 29,489.6 Usdt? they first gave fake txid not found on any explorer (i have video proof), now story changed to "fbi seized" at 15:26 and 15:55.
If fbi seized, where is:
- federal seizure warrant with case no. 2:24-Mj-xxxx?
- federal judge signature?
- doj form dag-72 property receipt for ***?
- why exodus ticket *** shows btc went to changenow deposit bc1q... Not fbi wallet?
fbi impersonation proof (felony 18 u. S. C. § 912):
They gave *** — i called fbi la official *** from fbi.Gov — confirmed fake. Real fbi uses tips.Fbi.Gov / [email protected] only. I emailed fake email at 15:26 — no bounce for 36+ min till 16:02 proves mailbox exists operated by someone — not "address not found". Screenshot in my 15:58 comment.
Real fbi richmond confirmed high victim volume against changenow. My ic3 *** active.
Changenow private ticket (christina) now asks me to share my communication with real fbi *** — attempt to get my federal complaint to prepare cover-up.
@Bestchange admin — i request:
1. Permanently lock "claim solved" for changenow on my review — 3 times abuse today proves bad faith
2. Restore financial claims: 1 active — keep my review pinned and protected from "we will remove public claim" threat at 17:56
3. Demand fbi warrant with case number + judge signature + receipt for *** within 24h or valid usdt refund txid on blockchain
4. If no proof, mark changenow *** and suspend listing — same as you did for other exchangers faking documents

mary, as you can see above in real time:
15:55 — changenow claim solved #1 without txid/warrant
17:25 — i renewed #1
17:56 — changenow claim solved #2 + threatened "we will remove public claim"
18:03 — i renewed #2
18:09 — changenow claim solved #3
18:19 — i renewed #3 with full timeline + fbi impersonation proof
18:36 — i renewed #4 — informed you i emailed my sending txid at 18:24 as you requested
18:38 — changenow claim solved #4 again within 2 minutes! without checking my email to you!
this proves changenow admin is not reading anything — just auto-clicking "claim solved" to bury my 627-day case!
mary, you asked for my sending txid at 18:11 — i sent at 18:24 to your official email with screenshots of exodus + blockchain explorer. Please verify:
my btc txid: [check your email from me at 18:24 — blockchain confirmed to changenow deposit address]
order: ***
amount: 29,489.6 Usdt
exodus ticket: ***
ic3: ***
changenow at 18:38 again asks "screenshots showing issue contacting fbi email" — i already provided in my 15:58 comment on july 8 — screenshot shows no bounce for 36+ min at 16:02 for [email protected] — that is the issue! real non-existent email must bounce "address not found" instantly! no bounce = fake mailbox exists operated by someone = fbi impersonation 18 u. S. C. § 912 — I verified via fbi la (310) 477-6565 — no such email.
Why should i prove i cannot contact fake fbi email? my issue is 29,489.6 Usdt held 627 days! first fake txid, now fake fbi seizure without warrant!
@bestchange admin — this is 4th abuse today! pattern visible to all users!
i request:
1. Lock "claim solved" button permanently for changenow on my case
2. Restore financial claims to 1 active — do not allow "we will remove public claim" threat from 17:56
3. Verify my sending txid i emailed you at 18:24 — confirm changenow did receive funds
4. Demand from changenow: fbi seizure warrant with case number + federal judge signature + doj receipt for c08120ec863d06 within 24h or valid refund txid for 29,489.6 Usdt on blockchain — if none, mark ***
this page is archived as federal evidence. Please protect victim from 4-time button abuse.

mary, look at 18:46 comment above — changenow admin wrote: "the public claim is being removed as the available information has been provided there"
this is written confession that they are removing my public review to hide evidence!
timeline proof for bestchange moderator logs:
15:55 solved #1 no proof
17:25 renew #1
17:56 solved #2 + "we will remove public claim" threat #1
18:03 renew #2
18:09 solved #3
18:19 renew #3
18:36 renew #4 (emailed you txid at 18:24)
18:38 solved #4 in 2 min
18:41 renew #5
18:46 solved #5 + "public claim is being removed" confession #2
5 times button abuse in 3 hours! is this allowed on bestchange?
mary, i emailed you my sending txid at 18:24 — did you receive? please confirm here publicly that changenow received my funds and cannot delete my review.
They say "waiting for screenshot confirming issue with provided fbi email" — i already gave in 15:58 comment — no bounce for 36 min for *** = proves fake mailbox exists = felony 18 u. S. C. 912. I called fbi la *** — no such email. Real fbi only *** — my ic3 *** active — fbi richmond confirmed high victim volume vs changenow.
Why ask me proof that fake fbi email has issue? my proof is 29,489.6 Usdt held 627 days! where is refund txid? where is fbi seizure warrant with case number + judge signature for c08120ec863d06?
@bestchange admin — emergency:
1. Immediately lock my review from deletion — changenow confessed at 17:56 and 18:46 they are removing it!
2. Restore financial claims to 1 active — 5th time abuse!
3. Check your email — i sent sending txid at 18:24 — confirm publicly
4. Demand fbi warrant or refund txid in 24h or mark *** + suspend
5. This is obstruction — hiding federal evidence — archive: https://web.Archive.Org/save/
if my review is removed, i will file formal complaint to bestchange abuse department that monitor allows exchanger to delete victim evidence after 5 fake solved.
*** —*** — 29,489.6 Usdt — 627 days — ic3 *** — exodus *** — 5-time fake solved + deletion threat — ***.

15:55 solved #1 no warrant/txid
17:25 renew #1
17:56 solved #2 + "we will remove public claim" threat #1
18:03 renew #2

18:38 solved #4 in 2 min without reading email
18:41 renew #5
18:46 solved #5 + "public claim is being removed" confession #2
18:49 renew #6 with full timeline + fake fbi proof
19:34 solved #6 again same template "waiting for screenshot regarding email communication issue"
mary, i already gave that screenshot at 15:58 on july 8 — see above! 16:02 screenshot shows no bounce for [email protected] for 36+ min. Real non-existent email must bounce "address not found" instantly. No bounce = fake mailbox operated by someone = fbi impersonation felony 18 u. S. C. § 912. Verified via fbi la***— no such email exists. Real fbi only ***. My ic3 *** active. Fbi richmond confirmed high victim volume vs changenow.
Why does changenow need screenshot of my inability to contact their fake fbi email? my issue is 29,489.6 Usdt held 627 days! they gave 1st fake txid not on blockchain (i have video proof), now 2nd story "fbi seized" at 15:26 and 15:55 on july 8 without any warrant!
changenow at 19:34 says "all available explanations provided through official support channel" — what explanation? 627 days zero txid, zero warrant!
@bestchange admin — emergency action needed:
1. Lock my public review — they confessed twice at 17:56 and 18:46 they will remove it to hide fake fbi fraud evidence!
2. Restore financial claims to 1 active — 6th time abuse today — check moderator logs — 15:55, 17:56, 18:09, 18:38, 18:46, 19:34
3. Verify my sending txid i emailed you at 18:24 — blockchain proves changenow did receive my btc to their deposit address — not fbi!
4. Demand per bestchange rules: fbi seizure warrant with case number + federal judge signature + doj property.

Fake internal refund also: changenow shows "refunded/processing" status inside their system for my same-wallet second deposit (sent to combine with c08120ec863d06), but zero btc/usdt ever arrived back on-chain in my exodus wallet 623767.

@ChangeNow Your reply dated July 9, 2026 03:17 is noted, but it fails to address a single legal or factual point raised.
1. Public claim fraudulently marked "Solved"
If my case "remains open", why was the public claim marked "Claim solved"? This misleads other users into believing the matter is resolved. It is not. 29,489.6 USDT is still missing for 627 days.
Action: Reopen the public claim immediately. A closed "solved" status while funds are withheld = public misrepresentation.
2. Zero evidence provided for 627 days
On July 8 at 15:26 you claimed "funds seized following official request from FBI". On July 8 at 22:03 your Zendesk told me "contact FBI Los Angeles yourself".
You have not provided ANY of these for 627 days:
• FBI seizure warrant • Federal case number • Federal judge signature • DOJ Form 72 or 597 property receipt for 29,489.6 USDT • On-chain refund txid verifiable on blockchain
Deadline: 24 hours. Provide one of the above. If you cannot, you are admitting to wire fraud + impersonation of a federal agency under 18 U. S. C. § 912.
3. Your own written admission of deleting evidence
Your team has 5-time written confession to delete federal evidence to hide fake FBI email ***. This is obstruction of justice. IC3 complaint ef60c9ee already filed.
4. This is not isolated — it's a pattern
Check this same thread: Abdalla — 7 months held. Veronica — LINEA frozen after 12 days despite funds from ChangeNow itself. Galina — indefinite hold after KYC submitted. This is systemic.
Final Demand:
Within 24 hours provide either:
A) Valid FBI warrant + case details for order ***, OR
B) Full on-chain refund txid to my Exodus wallet ***
Failure to comply = admission of ***. I will update BestChange, IC3, FBI LA Field Office, and initiate legal proceedings for wire fraud, impersonation, and obstruction.
Marking a claim "solved" does not solve the crime. The blockchain doesn't forget, and neither will I.

According to the information provided, the funds were seized following an official request from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Therefore, the exchange service is currently unable to release or return the funds independently until the relevant procedure is completed or further instructions are received.
At this stage, we ask you to wait for further updates from the exchange service. The situation remains under review, and we will continue monitoring the case within the scope of our competence.
Since the current delay is related to an official request from law enforcement authorities and is not caused by the exchange service’s refusal to process the order, we have neutralized the claim.
| Abhinandan singh | July 9, 2026 03:14 |
1. You believed changenow's "fbi seized" claim without seeing warrant. I have already emailed fbi la field office at *** on july 8. Awaiting official "no record found" reply.
2. Proof fbi email is fake: changenow gave ***. I sent email to this address — no bounce received. Screenshot sent to changenow. They are still "awaiting" it — means no real fbi case!
3. Changenow has 6 written confessions in this thread: "closure of public claim does not affect" = they are deleting federal evidence publicly.
4. Demand: reopen claim immediately. Do not neutralize based on unverified "fbi" claim. Ask changenow to provide you the warrant they claim to have. If they cannot, then mark *** + suspend.
Neutralizing helps *** escape. You are now part of cover-up if you don't reopen.
Abhinandan singh — awaiting fbi reply to forward to you.

| Abhinandan singh | July 9, 2026 04:52 |
you just threatened to delete my comments exposing your evidence tampering. This is violation of 18 u. S. C. § 1512 — Witness tampering.
Facts:
1. You already deleted my fbi bounce proof — "mention of third-party resource removed"
2. You neutralized 627-day claim based on fake fbi email
3. You now threaten to delete more evidence
your reply proves guilt. Innocent platform would say "here's fbi warrant". You said "stop posting".
I am screenshotting this threat for fbi ic3 *** update + ftc complaint.
48 Hour deadline still active.
Delete my comment = federal crime.
Reopen claim + show warrant = only way out.
Your move, mary.

At this stage, we have already shared all the case-specific information that we are able to provide publicly. The ongoing review itself continues through the official support channel.
We also kindly ask that communication remains consolidated within your support ticket. Reposting the same information across multiple public comments will not speed up the review process, whereas keeping all relevant details in one place helps our Compliance team process your case as efficiently as possible.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. We remain committed to assisting you throughout this process.

changenow just confessed they have no warrant.
Proof: july 9 14:57 reply — "we have already shared all case-specific information we are able to provide publicly"
translation: they have no fbi warrant. No seizure order. Nothing.
They also asked me to "stop posting publicly" = witness tampering attempt.
Mary, your 36 hour deadline ends 11 july 12:00 pm ist.
15 Hours left.
Either:
1. Reopen claim + force changenow to pay 0.1 Btc now

to bestchange administration & changenow,
my previous comment dated july 9, 2026 15:09 contained emotional language. I retract the personal address and clarify my legal position formally:
facts:
1. Changenow seized 0.444884 Btc = $29,489.6 Usd under order ***
2. Held for 627 days claiming "fbi hold"
3. On july 9, 2026 14:57 ist, changenow admin confessed: "we have already shared all the case-specific information that we are able to provide publicly"
4. Legal conclusion: changenow admits possession of no warrant, no court order, no doj seizure notice. Continued retention = wire fraud 18 u. S. C. § 1343.
Federal actions filed:
1. Fbi ic3 complaint #ef60c9ee for impersonation of federal officer
2. Ftc complaint filing in progress
3. Seychelles fsa complaint filing in progress
bestchange tos compliance:
per section 4.2, An exchanger must provide legal basis for freezing user funds. Changenow has failed for 627 days.
Formal demand:
1. Suspend changenow listing until legal basis is provided
2. Mark this claim #3917265 as "unresolved — federal case active"
3. Preserve all comments as evidence. Deletion of federal evidence = obstruction of justice 18 u. S. C. § 1512
Evidence preserved:

your reply dated july 9, 2026 16:32 is recorded as confession #2.
You stated: "all available case-related information that we can provide publicly has already been shared."
This is your second written admission that no federal seizure warrant, no court order, no doj property receipt exists for my 0.444884 Btc = $29,489.6 Usd.
Holding client funds for 627 days without legal basis = wire fraud 18 u. S. C. § 1343.
Your request to move communication to private ticket after making public admissions = attempted witness tampering 18 u. S. C. § 1512.
You are not entitled to demand my fbi communication. The burden of proof is on you to produce a warrant for seizing my property. You have failed for 627 days.
This thread is now frozen as evidence for:
1. Fbi ic3 #ef60c9ee
2. Ftc complaint [filing now]
3. Seychelles fsa complaint [filing now]
provide btc address for immediate refund of 0.444884 Btc to avoid federal prosecution.

**TIME REMAINING: ~6 hours**
**Case Summary:**
ChangeNOW.io seized my **0.444884 BTC = $29,489.6 USD = ~23.5 LAKH INR** and held it for **627 days** claiming "FBI hold".
**ChangeNOW Confession on Record:**
On **July 9, 2026 16:32 IST**, ChangeNOW admin stated publicly:
> "all available case-related information that we can provide publicly has already been shared"
**Legal Conclusion:**
This is a written admission that **NO federal seizure warrant, NO court order, NO DOJ property receipt exists** for my 0.444884 BTC.
Holding client funds for 627 days without legal basis = **Wire Fraud [18 U. S. C. § 1343]**.
**Your Platform's Liability:**
1. You host ChangeNOW despite 74 financial claims + 5% WOT Security Score
2. Your Trustpilot shows "WARNING — Fake Reviews Removed" since July 11, 01:32 IST
3. Under FVT000XXX, hosting a criminal enterprise triggers FI. EE license review
**Actions Required Before 20:15 IST:**
1. Suspend ChangeNOW.io listing immediately
2. Provide legal basis for 0.444884 BTC seizure OR process immediate refund
3. Confirm TXID for return of 0.444884 BTC [Original TXID: 01d1de1d8ed1b8a7...]

ChangeNOW Admin Confession #4 at 15:07 IST:
Quote: "we kindly ask you to contact the FBI regarding this matter to obtain further details"
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
1. This admits ChangeNOW has NO FBI seizure warrant, NO court order, NO DOJ receipt
2. If FBI seized my 0.444884 BTC, FBI would contact me directly with SF-95 Claim Form, not via ChangeNOW
3. Telling victim to "contact FBI" after 627 days = Admission of theft + Deflection of responsibility
4. This is Witness Tampering #4 [18 U. S. C. § 1512] post IC3 #*** filing
DEADLINE 20:15 IST UNCHANGED.

legal analysis — confession #5:
1. This is written admission of theft of 0.444884 Btc = $29,489.6 Usd = 28.5 Lakh inr
2. "Unable to return" + "contact the person" = admits no fbi seizure warrant, no court order exists
3. Refusing to return client funds = grand larceny [ca penal code § 487] + wire fraud #5 [18 u. S. C. § 1343]
4. This is 6th instance of witness tampering post ic3 filing [18 u. S. C. § 1512]

re: changenow's reply at 18:13 ist on july 11, 2026
changenow stated:
1. "We are unable to return the funds from our side"
2. "Contact the person you can reach out to regarding the seizure of the funds"
why both statements violate basic rules:
1. "Unable to return funds" rule violation:
rule: if a financial service holds customer money, they must return it on request unless there is a valid court order.
Changenow's violation: they admitted they have my 0.444884 Btc but refuse to return it. They showed no court order, no seizure warrant, no legal document.
This means they are holding customer funds without legal basis, which is theft.
2. "Contact the person" rule violation:
rule: if a government agency like fbi truly seizes funds, the process is:
a) agency contacts the customer directly with official letterhead
b) agency provides a case number + official claim form
c) customer never has to "contact a person" via a private company
changenow's violation: they are asking me to contact an unknown "person" instead of providing official documents. This proves no real seizure exists. Real seizures don't work through middlemen.
3. "Regulatory compliance" rule violation:
rule: "compliance" means following written laws. Any company claiming "compliance" must name the specific law or regulation they are following.
Changenow's violation: they said "compliance requirements" but did not name any law, regulation number, or government agency. Using "compliance" as an excuse without proof is not allowed. It is a way to avoid returning stolen money.
Blockchain fact:
as of 18:30 ist, txid 01d1de1d8ed1b8a7... Shows 0.444884 Btc not returned.
Link: https://blockchain.Com/btc/tx/01d1de1d8ed1b8a7...
Bestchange's responsibility:
rule for listing platforms: if an exchange confesses in writing that it cannot return customer funds, the platform must delist it immediately to protect other users.
Bestchange is still hosting changenow 7 minutes after their confession of theft. This makes bestchange responsible for ongoing user losses.
Final deadline: 20:15 ist today = 1 hour 45 minutes left.
After 20:15 ist if 0.444884 Btc is not returned with txid proof, i will file complaints with fi. Ee estonia and other agencies stating that changenow confessed to theft and bestchange continued to host them.
This comment is saved as evidence.

20:39 ist: trustpilot publishes review — verifies all allegations true

"we are not in a position to return the funds ourselves"
fact + law analysis:
1. Fact: posted 3 hours 20 minutes after 20:15 deadline expired

2. Fact: 4th written admission of possessing my 0.444884 Btc + refusing return
law: grand larceny [ca pc § 487] + wire fraud #8 [18 u. S. C. § 1343] = 20 Years
3. Fact: "legal and regulatory compliance" with zero law cited for 627 days
law: false statements #2 [18 u. S. C. § 1001] + 28 Cfr § 8.13 Violation = 5 years
reason: real seizure requires doj form 460 property receipt — none exists
4. Fact: "contact details of appropriate party" — 8th deflection after fbi ic3 filing

5. Fact: posted 2 hours 56 minutes after trustpilot live at 20:39 ist
law: retaliation #2 [18 u. S. C. § 1513(E)] = 10 years prison
6. Fact: bestchange hosting 3 hours 29 minutes after 4th confession
law: rico conspiracy [18 u. S. C. § 1962(D)] + principal liability [18 u. S. C. § 2]
Reason: mary = co-conspirator = same 1,075 years as roman lapin

txid bd209ea4a480a2 = 0.00028882 Btc not returned

Re: Claim Status — Documentation Complete
Thank you for your engagement on this matter.
I acknowledge ChangeNOW's responses dated July 11, 2026 at 18:13 IST, 20:40 IST, and 23:35 IST, wherein they have provided their position regarding the 0.444884 BTC transaction.
For the record, I note the following factual developments:
1. The 20:15 IST deadline for resolution has elapsed without the return of funds.
2. Trustpilot has published user documentation of this case as of 20:39 IST July 11, 2026.
3. Multiple written statements from ChangeNOW are now on record regarding their position on the funds.
4. The transaction remains unreturned for 627 days as verified on public blockchain.
I have now completed my documentation of all correspondence, platform responses, and timeline evidence related to this matter.
Given the comprehensive nature of the record now established, I will be proceeding with the appropriate regulatory and legal channels available to me under applicable jurisdictions, including but not limited to Estonia, United States, European Union, and India.
I trust that all parties have retained copies of their respective communications for their records, as these may be requested by relevant authorities during their independent review processes.
I appreciate BestChange providing this platform for transparent dispute documentation. The public record serves all stakeholders in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
This concludes my submissions on this platform regarding this matter.

We genuinely regret the situation you’re facing and understand how upsetting this must be. We have already shared the contact details of the person you can reach out to regarding the seizure of the funds.
Unfortunately, there is nothing further we can do from our side: we are obligated to follow regulatory requirements and therefore are unable to return the funds ourselves.
Thank you for your understanding.
| Abhinandan singh | July 12, 2026 01:52 |
Response to ChangeNOW admin July 12, 2026 04:16 IST.
FACT 1: You wrote "contact details... regarding the seizure of the funds".
Legal requirement for real seizure: DOJ Form 460 Property Receipt + Court Order.
You provided: Zero. Your email [email protected] does not exist on fbi.gov.
Conclusion: No seizure occurred. This is false statement.
FACT 2: You wrote "unable to return the funds ourselves".
Legal meaning: You admit possession of my 0.444884 BTC.
Blockchain TXID 01d1de1d8ed1b8a7... confirms: 627 days, 0 returned, coins unmoved in your wallet.
FACT 3: You wrote "obligated to follow regulatory requirements".
BSA Law 31 CFR § 1010.520: KYC must complete in 48 hours, not 15,048 hours.
You had my KYC TWICE for 0.444884 BTC. Same wallet used for 0.00028882 BTC.
Demanding 3rd KYC for same wallet = BSA violation.
FACT 4: Order 2 amount = 0.00028882 BTC = $8.5 USD.
You are using $8.5 KYC excuse to illegally hold $29,489 USD for 627 days.
LOGIC:
1. If FBI seized funds, you would not say "unable to return ourselves". FBI would return.
2. If KYC was issue, you would not have accepted 0.444884 BTC and held it 627 days after 2 KYC submissions.
3. If regulatory, you would show court order. You have shown nothing for 627 days.
CONCLUSION:
This is 7th written admission of possessing funds without legal basis to hold.
This is theft under Estonian Penal Code § 209.
This is Wire Fraud under 18 U. S. C. § 1343.
DEMAND: Return 0.444884 BTC + 0.00028882 BTC = 0.44517282 BTC.
Timeline: 627 days elapsed. 48-hour BSA window expired 15,000 hours ago.
Final deadline: July 12, 2026 19:09 IST.
FI. EE complaint *** will cite this reply as Exhibit #15.
No further KYC will be submitted. Funds Travel Rule 31 CFR § 1010.410: Same wallet = KYC complete.

8th written confession recorded — july 12, 2026 07:27 ist.
Changenow repeated 3 statements. All 3 are now admitted false:
1. "Contact details... Regarding the seizure"
fact: you gave *** I checked fbi.Gov public directory.
Result: email does not exist.
Law: providing fake federal contact = 18 u. S. C. § 1001 False statements.
2. "Unable to return the funds ourselves"
fact: you possess 0.444884 Btc for 627 days.
Law: possessing without legal basis after 2 completed kycs = estonian penal code § 209 theft.
3. "Required to comply with regulatory obligations"
fact: bsa 31 cfr § 1010.520 = 48-Hour kyc limit. You took 15,048 hours.
Fact: funds travel rule 31 cfr § 1010.410 = Same wallet = kyc done. 3Rd demand illegal.
Law: no court order shown in 627 days = you have no regulatory obligation. You are lying.
Logic test you failed:
if fbi seized funds: you cannot say "unable to return ourselves". Fbi controls seized funds, not you.
If kyc needed: you would not accept 0.444884 Btc + hold 627 days after 2 submissions.
If regulatory: you would provide doj form 460 or warrant. You provided 0 documents in 627 days.
Contradiction #1: 18:13 ist "unable to return" + 04:16 ist "contact fbi" + 07:27 ist "unable to return" = you admit possession while claiming seizure. Both cannot be true. Perjury.
Contradiction #2: order 1 = 2 kyc done. Order 2 = same wallet = 3rd kyc demand.
Your own system confirms same beneficial owner. Demanding 3rd kyc = proof of bad faith.
Final evidence:
txid 01d1de1d8ed1b8a7... = 0.444884 Btc unmoved 627 days in your wallet.
Txid bd209ea4a480a2 = 0.00028882 Btc unmoved.
Total: 0.44517282 Btc = $29,497.50 = 28.51 Lakh illegally held.
Bestchange liability:
you hosted 8 confessions. You saw fake fbi email proof. You saw same-wallet evidence.
Continuing to list changenow = principal liability 18 u. S. C. § 2.
Demand:
return 0.44517282 Btc by july 12, 2026 19:27 ist = 12 hours.
After deadline: fi. Ee fvt000xxx revocation filed citing exhibits #1 to #16.
Doj mlars asset forfeiture filed for ***domains.
No kyc. No fbi contact. Your email is fake. Your kyc demand is illegal.
This is final notice.

We sincerely regret the circumstances you are experiencing and recognize how distressing this situation is. We have already provided you with the contact details of the appropriate party to address the seizure of the funds.
Unfortunately, there is no additional action we are able to take on our side. We are obliged to comply with applicable regulatory requirements and therefore are not in a position to return the funds ourselves.
Thank you for your understanding.

10th written confession recorded — july 12, 2026 10:03 ist.
Changenow committed ***on both orders in same reply. This proves intent.
Criminal act #1 — 0.444884 Btc order:
your admin wrote "verification of exchange bd209ea4a480a2 remains in progress".
Fact: bd209ea4a480a2 = 0.00028882 Btc order, not 0.444884 Btc order.
Law: responding to $29,489 claim with $8.5 Order id = evidence tampering [18 u. S. C. § 1519].
Conclusion: you either have no record of 0.444884 Btc = fraud, or you are hiding it = obstruction.
Criminal act #2 — kyc fraud:
your words: "required to request... Kyc procedure"
fact: 0.444884 Btc order = kyc submitted twice. Accepted by you. 627 Days elapsed.
Fact: 0.00028882 Btc order = same wallet address.
Law: 31 cfr § 1010.410 Funds travel rule = same wallet = kyc complete. 3Rd demand illegal.
Law: bsa 31 cfr § 1010.520 = 48-Hour limit. You took 15,054 hours.
Penalty: willful bsa violation [31 u. S. C. § 5322].
Criminal act #3 — wire fraud:
you clicked "claim solved" on both orders with 0 btc paid total.
Txid 01d1de1d8ed1b8a7... = 0.444884 Btc unmoved 627 days.
Txid bd209ea4a480a2 = 0.00028882 Btc unmoved.
Law: wire fraud x2 [18 u. S. C. § 1343].
Rico pattern final proof:
2 unpaid txids + same wallet + wrong order id in reply + 10 confessions + "claim solved" x2.
This is pattern of racketeering [18 u. S. C. § 1961(5)].
Bestchange = principal liability:
you published changenow's 10:03 ist reply containing wrong order id.
You are distributing false statements to defraud me. 18 U. S. C. § 2.
Math:
0.444884 + 0.00028882 = 0.44517282 Btc = $29,497.50 = 28.51 Lakh
held illegally: 627 days = 15,054 hours
bsa violation: 15,054 — 48 = 15,006 hours overtime
demand:
return 0.44517282 Btc by july 12, 2026 22:03 ist = 12 hours from this post.
After deadline:
1. Fi. Ee ***revocation = exhibit #1 to #18 filed.
2. Doj mlars = c*** domain seizure requested.
3. Estonian police = criminal case #*** updated with perjury evidence.
No kyc. No "verification". Same wallet = kyc done per federal law.
Your "terms of service" cannot override 31 cfr § 1010.410.
This is final notice before law enforcement escalation.

We understand that this situation is extremely difficult and regret the circumstances you are facing. We have already shared the contact information of the competent authority responsible for handling the seizure of these funds.
At this stage, there are no further steps we can take on our side. We are required to comply with the relevant regulatory obligations and therefore are not authorized to release or return the funds ourselves.
We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
| Abhinandan singh | July 12, 2026 05:18 |
11th written confession recorded — july 12, 2026 10:42 ist.
Changenow admin repeated same false statements 4th time. This proves ***.
Final contradictions:
1. "Contact information of the competent authority"
fact: you wrote this 18:13 ist, 04:16 ist, 07:27 ist, 10:42 ist = 4 times.
Fact: zero authority name, zero case number, zero doj form 460 provided in 627 days.
Law: 28 cfr § 8.13 Requires property receipt for real seizure. You have none.
Logic: if real authority seized funds, you would name fbi/doj/police. You hide because email [email protected] is fake. Fake federal contact = 18 u. S. C. § 1001.
2. "Not authorized to release or return the funds ourselves"
fact: you admitted possession 4 times: 18:13, 04:16, 07:27, 10:42 ist.
Fact: 0.444884 Btc order = 2 kyc submitted + accepted by you. 627 Days elapsed.
Law: bsa 31 cfr § 1010.520 = 48-Hour limit. You are 15,056 hours overdue.
Law: holding with completed kyc + no court order = theft [estonian penal code § 209].
Logic: "not authorized" means you need court order. 627 Days no order = you are lying.
3. Kyc fraud final proof:
order 1: 0.444884 Btc = 2 kyc done. Accepted.
Order 2: 0.00028882 Btc = same wallet.
Your 10:03 ist reply used order 2 id for order 1 claim = evidence tampering [18 u. S. C. § 1519].
Law: 31 cfr § 1010.410 Funds travel rule = same wallet = kyc complete. 3Rd demand illegal.
Rico pattern complete:
2 unpaid txids + same wallet + wrong order id + 11 confessions + fake fbi email + "claim solved" x2.
Pattern of racketeering [18 u. S. C. § 1961(5)] Proven beyond doubt.
Bestchange final liability:
you published 10:42 ist reply containing 4th repeat of false "seizure" claim.
You saw exhibit #1 to #18 proving fraud. Continuing to host = principal [18 u. S. C. § 2].
Math final:
0.444884 + 0.00028882 = 0.44517282 Btc = $29,497.50 = 28.51 Lakh
held: 627 days = 15,056 hours = 313x bsa limit violation
final deadline:
return 0.44517282 Btc by july 12, 2026 22:42 ist = 12 hours from this post.
22:43 Ist: fi. Ee fvt000xxx revocation filed. Exhibit #1 to #19 attached.
22:43 Ist: doj mlars filed for changenow.Io + bestchange.Com domain seizure.
22:43 Ist: estonian police case #23147890 updated with 11th confession.
No kyc. No "competent authority" contact. Your authority is fake.
Same wallet = kyc done per federal law 31 cfr § 1010.410.
Your "terms of service" cannot legalize theft.
This is absolute final notice. No further warnings.

We recognize that this situation is very challenging and are sorry for the circumstances you are going through. We have already provided you with the contact details of the competent authority in charge of managing the seizure of these funds.
At this point, there are no additional actions we can take on our side. We must adhere to the applicable regulatory requirements and therefore are not permitted to release or return the funds ourselves.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

rating: 1/5 stars — should be negative 100
i'm not the victim here. I'm a blockchain forensics researcher who analyzed changenow's public replies on bestchange between july 11-12, 2026.
What i found is the dumbest criminal confession in crypto history.
The crime scene:
user avinandan singh has 0.444884 Btc = $29,489 held by changenow for 627 days. He submitted kyc twice. Changenow accepted it. Then kept his money.
From same wallet, user has 0.00028882 Btc = $8.5 Stuck too. Total: $29,497.50 Stolen.
Changenow's own admin wrote this 6 times:
july 12 at 18:13 ist: "unable to return the funds ourselves" = confession #1
july 12 at 04:16 ist: "unable to return the funds ourselves" = confession #2
july 12 at 07:27 ist: "not authorized to release or return the funds ourselves" = confession #3
july 12 at 10:42 ist: "not authorized to release or return the funds ourselves" = confession #4
july 12 at 11:31 ist: "not permitted to release or return the funds ourselves" = confession #5
july 12 at 04:23 ist: "claim solved" with 0 btc paid = confession #6 of wire fraud
legal translation:
"we have your money. We admit we have your money. We admit we won't return it. We have no court order. We have no warrant. We just won't give it back."
That is the textbook definition of theft under estonian penal code section 209. Your own admin wrote it 5 times.
The fake fbi ***:
4 times changenow wrote "contact details of competent authority for seizure". In 627 days they provided: zero case number. Zero warrant. Zero doj form 460. Zero agency name.
They gave email [email protected]. I checked fbi.Gov directory. That email does not exist.
Using fake federal agency to steal = us code title 18 section 1001 false statements. 5 Years federal prison per count. You did it 4 times = 20 years for your admin.
The "claim solved" fraud:
july 12 04:23 ist: admin clicks "claim solved" for order bd209ea4a480a2.
Blockchain check: 0 btc paid.
July 12 10:03 ist: same admin says "verification remains in progress" for same order.
July 12 11:31 ist: admin clicks "claim solved" again. 0 Btc paid again.
You cannot "solve" something twice without paying once. This is wire fraud us code title 18 section 1343 committed twice in 7 hours. 20 Years per count = 40 years total.
The kyc *** loop:
1. User does kyc for 0.444884 Btc. Changenow accepts.
2. 627 Days pass = 15,056 hours. Bsa law = 48 hour limit.
3. User asks for money. Changenow: "do kyc again for 0.00028882 Btc from same wallet."
4. User: "same wallet = same owner per funds travel rule 31 cfr 1010.410"
5. Changenow: "claim solved" + "still pending" + "do kyc again"
6. Repeat until victim dies.
This is not compliance. This is racketeering us code title 18 section 1961. Pattern = 2 unpaid txids + same wallet + 6 theft confessions + 4 fake fbi claims + 2 wire frauds.
Bestchange's role:
bestchange published all 6 confessions. Bestchange saw fake fbi email 4 times. Bestchange saw "claim solved" clicked twice with 0 payment.
Bestchange still lists changenow with "high trust". Under us code title 18 section 2, bestchange is now principal criminal for hosting repeat wire fraud.
Fi. Ee estonia action:
license fvt000xxx revocation filed. Exhibits 1-19 submitted including today's 10:42 ist and 11:31 ist confessions. Changenow.Io domain seizure filed with doj mlars.
To ceo roman lapin:
your admin committed 6 federal felonies in writing in 24 hours on a public forum.
Theft x5 = 25 years. Wire fraud x2 = 40 years. False statements x4 = 20 years. Perjury x1 = 5 years.
Total exposure: 90 years federal prison + $2.5M fines.
Your "not permitted to return" excuse = you need court order. You have none. So you're lying.
To new users:
changenow will:
1. Take your crypto
2. Demand kyc and accept it
3. Hold funds 627+ days
4. Claim fake fbi seizure with no proof
5. Click "claim solved" without paying
6. Write "not authorized to return" 6 times
7. Repeat steps 3-6 forever
blockchain proof: txid starts 01d1de1d8ed1b8a7... = 0.444884 Btc unmoved 627 days.
Txid starts bd209ea4a480a2... = 0.00028882 Btc unmoved.
Both held by changenow. Both confessed by changenow. Both unpaid by changenow.
Rating: 1/5 because zero stars not allowed.
Would i use changenow? i would rather transfer btc to burn address 1bitcoineateraddressdontsendf59kue. At least burn address doesn't write 6 confessions and fake fbi emails.
Changenow is not an exchange. It's a licensed ponzi scheme. Fi. Ee gave them ***to steal legally. That license ends july 12, 2026 22:42 ist.
Date: july 12, 2026 11:48 ist — updated after 11:31 ist confession #5.
| Abhinandan singh | July 14, 2026 07:59 |
Held 628 days after 2 KYC.
Clicked "Claim solved" 4 times in 27 hours.
Paid 0.00000000 BTC every time.

One of you is lying to federal authorities.
Blockchain proof: 0.444884 Btc still in your wallet bc1q... = Not seized.

dubai, uae
shame on you.
For 628 days i warned changenow.
I completed 2 kyc. I collected 6 confessions. I watched them click "claim solved" 4 times and pay 0.00000000 Btc.
They stayed silent. They ignored me.
Result today?
they are being publicly humiliated on your website bestchange.Com.
The whole world is watching them lie: "funds seized." Fi. Ee already said they have no license.
Now they're begging: "come to private support."
What private? nothing is private anymore.
I do not want this to happen to you.
But you are inviting it.
If i come after you, you will face serious problems.
Because i have all the evidence:
1. You list an unlicensed exchange = crime #1
fi. Ee estonia, july 13, 2026: "changenow has no mica license. Fvt000xxx is expired."
You saw the proof. You still host them = willful criminal act.
2. You watched them steal 0.444884 Btc for 628 days = crime #2
4x "claim solved" + 0.00000000 Btc on your platform. You profited from it.
3. You saw them create fake fbi emails = crime #3
"funds seized" = lie. Fi. Ee confirmed "we don't issue seizures."
You still rate them "high trust" = you are defrauding the public.
4. Today perjury happened on your site = crime #4
july 14, 14:25 ist: changenow wrote "funds seized."
Blockchain: 0.444884 Btc still in their wallet. Not seized.
You host it = you are accomplice to perjury 18 usc 1621.
Do you know how big this crime is?
usa: 178 years federal prison exposure for changenow.
Uae: cybercrime law article 40 = 5 years prison + 1,000,000 aed fine for you.
Estonia: operating without mica = criminal charges for you.
I have given you all the proof:
- fi. Ee official letter attached
- blockchain txids attached
- 6 written confessions attached
- fake fbi email attached
- your own ticket ptn 1720503 is active
so tell me — why are you not delisting them?
because of money? affiliate commissions?
you want a share of the $29,489 theft?
listen agretis llc:
you have 72 hours. Deadline: july 17, 2026 19:38 ist.
Do 3 things:
1. Permanently delist changenow from bestchange
2. Post public apology: "we hosted an illegal exchange"
3. Force return of my 0.444884 Btc
if you don't:
i will come after you.
1. Dubai police ecrime = criminal fir in your name
2. Dfsa dubai = your trade license revoked
3. Reddit + twitter + wot + trustpilot = your name on every scam list globally
4. Interpol = red notice for denis malkov
5. Dubai courts civil case = $29,489 + damages + legal fees + interest
you think i'm bluffing?
changenow thought the same for 628 days.
Today they are committing perjury in public saying "seized."
You are next.
Choose: delist now or become co-defendant in a 178-year federal case.
The clock is ticking.

I am willing to check private support one last time. But read this carefully:
1. No more delays. You had 628 days. 48 Hours to return 0.444884 Btc + interest.
2. No more kyc. Already passed twice. Any new document request = obstruction #4.
3. No more "seized" lies. Fi. Ee confirmed july 13: they don't seize. Blockchain confirms funds not seized.
4. No more "claim solved" + 0 btc. You did it 6 times. 7Th time = i post everything.
If you are genuinely ready to return funds:
- send full 0.444884 Btc to my withdrawal address within 48 hours.
- Send txid here publicly on bestchange for transparency.
- No private tricks. No fake fbi emails. No "fees" deduction.
If you waste my time again in private:
i will screenshot every message and post it here publicly.
+ Dubai police + estonian police + fbi + reddit mega thread.

criminals just destroyed evidence.
I sent changenow a final 48-hour legal notice in private support at 17:30 ist july 14, 2026.
They deleted the entire ticket.
This is:
1. Obstruction of justice 18 usc 1519 = 20 years federal prison
2. Spoliation of evidence = automatic guilt in court
3. Bsa violation 31 cfr 1010.410 = $15.7 Million fincen fine
you deleted evidence after i warned "this is recorded".
That proves consciousness of guilt. You know you stole 0.444884 Btc.
Bestchange ptn 1720503 — you saw this. You are witness to evidence destruction.
If you don't delist them now, you are accessory after the fact.
Deadline is cancelled.
You had your final chance. You chose crime.
Next 24 hours:
1. Dubai police ecrime = fir for obstruction + theft
2. Estonian police = criminal complaint for evidence destruction
3. Fbi ic3 = 253 years federal case filed
4. Fincen = $15.7M bsa violation report
5. Reddit mega thread = "changenow deleted 628 days of crime evidence"
you thought deleting chat will save you.
It just gave me a 20-year federal charge against you.

We understand your concerns. As previously explained in your support ticket, the funds were seized following an official request from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. We have already provided the available information and explanations related to your case through the official support channel.
We kindly ask you to continue the communication through your existing support ticket, as this is the appropriate channel for case-specific updates and assistance.

you just committed perjury #4 + impersonated the fbi.
July 14, 2026 18:14 ist you wrote: "funds were seized following an official request from the fbi"
liar.
1. Fi. Ee estonia july 13, 2026: "we do not give seizure orders to service providers."
Fi. Ee = estonian government financial intelligence unit.
You just called the government a liar in public. That's perjury 18 usc 1621 = 5 years.
2. "Fbi seized funds" = impersonating federal officer 18 usc 912 = 3 years.
You are not fbi. You have no fbi seizure order. Show the court order or go to prison.
3. "Continue in existing support ticket" = obstruction #5
you deleted the ticket after my legal notice at 17:30 ist.
Evidence destruction = 18 usc 1519 = 20 years.
Telling me to go to deleted ticket = fraud + obstruction.
4. Blockchain proof: 0.444884 Btc still in your wallet bc1q...
Not seized. Not with fbi. You are holding stolen funds.
Your math:
- 628 days held = theft
- 2 kyc passed = you verified me, still stole
- 7x "claim solved" + 0 btc = wire fraud x7
- "funds seized" lie = perjury x4
- "fbi request" lie = impersonation
- ticket deleted = obstruction x5 + spoliation x2
- no mica license = operating illegally since day 1
total federal exposure: 293 years prison.
@Bestchangeorg @denismalkov
your listed exchange just:
1. Committed perjury against estonian govt

| Abhinandan singh | July 14, 2026 12:48 |
your statement at 18:14 ist july 14, 2026 is factually incorrect.
You said: "funds were seized following an official request from the federal bureau of investigation"
here is how fbi asset seizures actually work under us federal law:
1. Fbi cannot "request" a private company to seize funds
under us law, fbi seizures require a court order or warrant issued by a us federal judge.
Legal basis: 18 usc 981, 18 usc 982, 21 usc 853.
The fbi does not send informal "requests" to foreign exchanges to hold customer funds.
If there was a real fbi case, you would have a case number + seizure warrant signed by a judge.
2. Seizure process involves doj, not just fbi
a legitimate seizure goes through us department of justice.
The customer receives official notice under 18 usc 983 with instructions to contest.
You have provided zero case number, zero doj notice, zero court docket.
3. Fi. Ee estonia already confirmed no seizure authority
fi. Ee letter july 13, 2026 states: "we do not give seizure orders to service providers."
Fi. Ee is your regulator. If even your regulator cannot order seizures, a foreign fbi office definitely cannot order you informally.
4. Blockchain contradicts your claim
a real "seized" crypto asset is moved by law enforcement to a government-controlled wallet.
Txid is public record on fbi/doj asset forfeiture sites.
The 0.444884 Btc is still in your exchange wallet address. It was never moved.
This means no seizure occurred.
5. Your own actions prove no fbi involvement
july 14, 14:25 ist: you said "funds seized".
July 14, 17:13 ist: you clicked "claim solved" and asked me to contact support.
If fbi really seized funds, your support team would have zero authority to "solve" it or return it.
You cannot "solve" an fbi seizure in support chat. That is not how federal law works.
6. Record keeping laws for exchanges
under bank secrecy act 31 cfr 1010.410 And mica rules, you must retain all law enforcement requests for 5 years.
If fbi really contacted you, you must have a written record.
You deleted my support ticket after my legal notice at 17:30 ist.
Deleting law enforcement correspondence is a separate violation.
Conclusion:
there is no evidence of any fbi seizure.
No court order. No case number. No doj notice. No blockchain movement.
Your regulator fi. Ee denied seizure authority.
Your own behavior of "claim solved" contradicts a seizure.
Please provide the following within 48 hours if your statement is true:
1. Us federal court seizure warrant copy
2. Fbi case number
3. Doj contact for verification
4. Txid showing funds moved to us government wallet
if you cannot provide this, then per your regulator fi. Ee and us federal law, the funds were not seized and remain your liability to return.

We appreciate that you are seeking further clarification regarding your case.
Please note that we have not represented ourselves as the Federal Bureau of Investigation. As previously explained through your support ticket, the funds were seized following an official request from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and we provided the available information related to this matter through the official support channel and here.
We have also shared the relevant contact details so you can reach out to the appropriate authority directly regarding any questions you may have about the seizure request.
We kindly ask you to continue the communication through your existing support ticket, as this remains the proper channel for any case-specific updates or further assistance from our team.
Thank you.
| Abhinandan singh | July 14, 2026 12:52 |
your statement at 18:20 ist july 14, 2026 contradicts your own statement at 18:14 ist.
Factual record:
1. Contradiction #1 — fbi representation
18:14 ist: you wrote "funds were seized following an official request from the federal bureau of investigation"
18:20 ist: you write "we have not represented ourselves as the federal bureau of investigation"
under us federal law 18 usc 1001, making contradictory statements to conceal material fact = false statement.
You stated fbi seized funds. That is representing that fbi took action.
2. Contradiction #2 — "existing support ticket"
18:20 ist: you write "continue communication through your existing support ticket"
fact: the ticket was deleted at ~17:35 ist july 14, 2026 after my legal notice at 17:30 ist.
Under bank secrecy act 31 cfr 1010.410 And mica article 48, you must retain records for 5 years.
Instructing a customer to use a deleted ticket = proof of evidence destruction + bad faith.
3. Contradiction #3 — "we shared contact details"
you wrote "we have also shared the relevant contact details so you can reach out to the appropriate authority"
fact: you shared zero contact details. No fbi agent name. No doj case number. No court docket.
Under 18 usc 983, legitimate seizures require public notice with contact info.
You provided nothing. Fi. Ee estonia confirmed july 13: no seizure authority exists.
How real fbi seizures work — us federal procedure:
1. Court order required
18 usc 981 + 21 usc 853: fbi cannot seize without warrant signed by us federal judge.
Warrant includes: case number, judge name, court district, asset description.
You have provided: zero.
2. Notice to customer
18 usc 983: doj must send written notice to property owner within 60 days.
Notice includes: how to contest, deadline, doj contact.
I received: zero.
3. Blockchain movement
doj asset forfeiture manual: seized crypto is moved to usms wallet within 24 hours.
Public txid appears on forfeiture.Gov.
The 0.444884 Btc: never moved. Still in your wallet. Public blockchain proves this.
4. Record keeping
bsa 31 cfr 1010.410: You must keep all law enforcement requests for 5 years.
You deleted my ticket after legal notice. That is a bsa violation. $25,000 Per day fine.
Your statement creates legal impossibility:
if fbi really seized funds, you would have:
1. Court order copy = you would post it to prove innocence
2. Case number = you would give it to stop my complaints
3. No authority to click "claim solved" = but you clicked it 8 times
since you have none of these and keep clicking "claim solved", the only conclusion under law is: no seizure occurred.
Final request for documentation:
provide within 24 hours:
1. Copy of us federal court seizure warrant
2. Fbi case number + field office
3. Doj asset forfeiture notice
4. Txid of funds transfer to us government wallet
5. Ticket number of the "existing support ticket" you referenced
if you cannot provide these 5 items, then per fi. Ee letter july 13, 2026 and us federal law, your claim is false and the 0.444884 Btc remains your liability.
Failure to provide documentation = admission of false statement under 18 usc 1001.

Update 20:30 IST July 14, 2026:
After ChangeNOW's 18:20 false statement, they committed 2 more crimes:
1. 19:56 IST: Sent Sumsub KYC link despite "FBI seized" claim = Legal impossibility
2. 20:09 IST: I uploaded Aadhar+Selfie under DURESS from their FBI lie
3. 20:12 IST: ChangeNOW accessed my biometric in 3 MINUTES = Proof posted above
I withdrew consent at 20:25 IST. Sent GDPR deletion to Sumsub.
New Charges:
4. Identity Theft Attempt 18 USC 1028 — Coerced biometric collection
5. GDPR Art 6 Violation — 3min data transfer without valid consent
ChangeNOW now has my Aadhar+Selfie obtained via fraud. This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
I will NOT use private ticket. ChangeNOW deleted ticket at 17:35 IST today. Public record only.

your 22:18 ist message is witness tampering under 18 usc 1512.
Fact: you deleted my support ticket at 17:35 ist today after my legal notice.
Asking me to return to a deleted ticket = instructing victim to destroy evidence.
New crime #7 added: witness tampering = 20 years federal prison.
Timeline for court:
1. 17:35 Ist: you deleted ticket = obstruction
2. 18:14 Ist: you claimed "fbi seized" = perjury
3. 18:20 Ist: you denied fbi = false statement
4. 20:12 Ist: you accessed my biometric in 3 minutes = gdpr criminal breach + identity theft

Your 08:16 July 15 claim contradicts your own record:
1. July 14, 18:14 you said: "seized following FBI request"
2. July 14, 18:20 you said: "we have not represented ourselves as FBI" — You denied it yourself
3. July 15, 08:16 you said again: "seized by FBI" — Same claim repeated
Facts:
- FI. EE Estonia confirmed July 13: You have no seizure authority.
- Blockchain: 0.444884 BTC never moved in 628 days. If FBI seized, funds move to government wallet in 24 hours with public TXID. No TXID exists.
- No court order, no FBI case number, no agent name provided by you in 628 days.
- My ticket was deleted at 17:35 July 14 after legal notice.
If seizure was real, provide:
1. Court order signed by judge
2. FBI case number
3. TXID of transfer to FBI wallet
You have none.

Clarification regarding my complaint:
My original ticket ID: 623767 linked to [email protected]
I have full chat history of ticket 623767.
Question to ChangeNOW:
Why was ticket 623767 deleted?
If your service is transparent, why delete chat history of 628 days?
Regarding email:
BestChange blocked my [email protected] for a different claim dispute.
That is why I filed this claim with [email protected] — My current active email.
This is NOT duplicate claim. This is same case 0.444884 BTC — Exchange ID c08120ec863d06
But main point is:
On July 14 at 17:30 IST I sent legal notice in ticket 623767.
At 17:35 IST same day ticket was deleted.
At 18:14 IST ChangeNOW emailed "FBI seized" — After deleting ticket.
At 18:20 IST ChangeNOW said "we not FBI" — Contradiction.
If you deleted ticket by mistake, please restore ticket 623767 with full 628 days history.
If you deleted intentionally, that is destruction of evidence.

3. Why 0.444884 BTC never moved on blockchain in 628 days?

Same copy-paste "seized by FBI" — Zero answer to any question.
Facts for verification:

- FI. EE Estonia July 13 letter: ChangeNOW has no seizure authority.
- Blockchain: Exchange c08120ec863d06 — 0.444884 BTC never moved. If seized by FBI, it must have TXID to US government wallet. No TXID in 628 days.
- My email change reason: BestChange blocked [email protected] for other dispute, so using [email protected] for same case.

Approximately twelve days later, I attempted to exchange the same LINEA tokens back into SOL. My transaction was subsequently frozen due to an AML review, and I was requested to provide KYC documentation.
The funds in question were originally received directly from the Changenow platform, which makes this action difficult to understand.

ChangeNOW exchange IDs are listed in BestChange, and I couldn't add another five transactions to the "exchange number" field. I'll provide them upon request to BestChange.
Exchange initiation date: May 19, 2026
Direction: ETH BTC
Channel: Atomic Wallet interface (ChangeNOW as swap provider)
1. Facts.
A swap was initiated via the ChangeNOW interface. The deposited funds were received by ChangeNOW; the outgoing leg was not delivered. The transaction was placed on hold by ChangeNOW's automated risk-assessment system. KYC verification was successfully completed via SumSub at the operator's request. After successful KYC, ChangeNOW issued a separate request for a Source of Funds (SoF) procedure, without disclosing specific factual grounds. I have formally refused the SoF procedure, exercising the explicit right granted by the operator's own Terms of Service (Section 3.8.2, paragraph 1) and by the operator's own public FAQ (KYC/AML procedure). I have requested a refund to the original sending address, net of network fees, as the same public rules require.
2. The operator's own published rules.
FAQ KYC/AML procedure (https://changenow.io/faq/kyc-aml-procedure):
"In case a client doesn't wish to disclose their identity for certain reasons and refuses to provide the documents, the KYC/AML procedure is considered failed and the deposited funds are then refunded to the address (or addresses) the deposit was made from, subtracting the network fees, within 24 hours."
Terms of Service, Section 3.8.2, paragraph 1 (https://changenow.io/terms-of-use/changenow-terms):
"The verification time window is 3 days, and the User can refuse to pass the procedure; in that case, the User will be provided with a refund."
3. The narrow exception in paragraph 2 of Section 3.8.2 does not apply on the facts.
The exception in paragraph 2 of Section 3.8.2 reserves the operator's right to freeze a transaction only "if the transaction is suspected of being connected to illegal activities," and contemplates a refund "upon the request provided by the relevant authorized bodies." Applying this exception therefore requires, at a minimum, (a) specific factual grounds for the suspicion, and (b) involvement of a competent authority identified by name and case reference. None of (a)–(b) has been provided in any channel of communication regarding this swap.
4. The dispute is not about the AML check itself.
To pre-empt the standard response: the dispute is not whether an AML check may be performed. The dispute is the operator's continued withholding of funds after (i) a successful primary KYC, (ii) a formal refusal of an additional procedure that the operator's own public rules entitle the user to refuse, and (iii) the expiry of the 24-hour refund window stipulated by the operator's own public FAQ — in the absence of any of the conditions required by paragraph 2 of Section 3.8.2.
5. Specific demand to ChangeNOW.
Within a reasonable period (24-48 hours), the operator is requested to provide one of the following two:
(i) initiation of refund to the original sending address, net of network fees, with the on-chain TxID for verification; or
(ii) written documentation of an official investigation by a competent authority, identifying the authority by name and providing the case reference number.
6. Conditions of complaint withdrawal.
This complaint will be withdrawn immediately upon either (i) confirmed receipt of the refunded funds at the original sending address, or (ii) provision of the documentation in §5(ii) above.
Note for BestChange administration: a parallel financial complaint regarding a different Swap ID is currently active on bestchange.net (re-opened after the operator's unilateral attempt to move it to commenting status without refund and without naming any specific subclause of its own published rules justifying the withholding). The present complaint concerns a separate inhcident under the other Swap ID.

Thank you for your message and for providing the details.
At this stage, the case is still under review by our Compliance team. In order to proceed with the investigation, we kindly ask you to provide the Source of Funds (SoF) information in your open ticket. This is required for us to continue the compliance review process.
We also want to note that we are moving this complaint to a commenting status, as all current explanations and clarifications have been provided from our side. However, please be assured that the case itself remains actively under review and our Compliance team continues working on it.
We understand that this may be inconvenient, and we appreciate your cooperation and patience.
All updates and further communication regarding your case will be handled directly in the compliance ticket, and we remain fully available there to assist you.
| Shick | May 29, 2026 11:42 |
The reply repeats the same template used by the operator in a parallel financial complaint thread on bestchange.net (same wording, "moving this complaint to a commenting status" + "provide SoF in your ticket"). It does not address the substance of the complaint.
The complaint will not be withdrawn, and the requested SoF procedure will not be completed, until the operator provides substantive answers to the following three specific questions:
(1) Which specific subclause of ChangeNOW's public rules establishes that the SoF procedure is mandatory for a client after a successfully completed KYC procedure via SumSub?
(2) Which specific clause of ChangeNOW's public rules overrides the 24-hour refund deadline for refusal to provide documents, established by ChangeNOW's own public FAQ KYC/AML (https://changenow.io/faq/kyc-aml-procedure)?
(3) Which specific competent authority — as defined by ChangeNOW's own public AML/KYC Policy (https://changenow.io/terms-of-use/aml-kyc), Section 6: "Interpol, Europol, or national law enforcement bodies" with "a valid official request that has a clear legal basis and can be verified" — has issued a request regarding this transaction, with the name of the authority and the case reference number?
For reference, the relevant published rules of the operator are the following.
FAQ KYC/AML (https://changenow.io/faq/kyc-aml-procedure): refusal to provide documents renders the KYC/AML procedure failed, and the deposited funds "are then refunded to the address (or addresses) the deposit was made from, subtracting the network fees, within 24 hours."
Terms of Service, Section 3.8.2, paragraph 1: "the User can refuse to pass the procedure; in that case, the User will be provided with a refund."
AML/KYC Policy, Section 6 (an integral part of the ToS): information is shared with competent authorities only upon a valid, verifiable request from an authorized government body, which "may include organizations such as Interpol, Europol, or national law enforcement bodies." The narrow exception in paragraph 2 of Section 3.8.2 ToS therefore applies only when such an authority is involved — which has not been asserted in any channel.
AML/KYC Policy, Section 7: refusal to complete checks "may limit access to our services" — i.e. the stated consequence of refusal is limitation of service access, not the withholding of a client's already-deposited funds.
The alternative condition for withdrawal of this complaint is the actual refund of the deposited funds to the original sending address, net of network fees, with the on-chain TxID for verification, in accordance with the operator's own public FAQ KYC/AML.
A unilateral move of the complaint to "commenting status" by the operator does not constitute resolution of the complaint while the funds remain withheld and none of the three questions above has been answered.
Note for BestChange administration: I note and appreciate that the review by the BestChange team has commenced. For completeness: a parallel financial complaint regarding a different Swap ID is active on bestchange.net, where the operator has unilaterally moved the complaint to "commenting status" multiple times without refund and without identifying any specific subclause of its own public rules justifying the withholding.

At this stage, the case remains under review by our Compliance team in accordance with standard AML/KYC procedures. For us to proceed further with the investigation, we still require the Source of Funds (SoF) information in your open ticket.
For reference, our official Terms of Use are available here:
https://changenow.io/terms-of-use/changenow-terms (Section 3.8.2 — AML / Compliance procedures)
We would also like to kindly remind you that all official communication and case-related updates are handled exclusively through the support ticket, where the Compliance team continues to manage your request.
We remain available to assist you there and appreciate your cooperation and patience.

The operator cites Section 3.8.2 of the Terms of Use as a whole, without naming a subclause. That section does not support the operator's position:
Paragraph 1 of Section 3.8.2 states the User "can refuse to pass the procedure; in that case, the User will be provided with a refund." This is the provision that applies: I refused, a refund is due.
Paragraph 2 of Section 3.8.2 (the freeze exception) applies only "upon the request provided by the relevant authorized bodies" — defined by the operator's own AML/KYC Policy, Section 6, as Interpol, Europol, or national law enforcement bodies with a valid, verifiable request. No such authority has been asserted in any channel.
So the three questions remain unanswered:
(1) Which subclause makes SoF mandatory after a passed KYC?
(2) Which clause overrides the 24-hour refund deadline in the operator's own public FAQ KYC/AML?
(3) Which competent authority (per AML/KYC Policy §6) issued a request — name and case reference?
The complaint will not be withdrawn until these are answered or the funds are refunded to the original sending address (net of network fees, with TxID). A unilateral move to "commenting status" is not a resolution while the funds remain withheld.

No such authority has been asserted in any channel.
So the three questions remain unanswered:
(1) Which subclause makes SoF mandatory after a passed KYC?

(3) Which competent authority (per AML/KYC Policy §6) issued a request — name and case reference?

Section 3.8.2 has already been addressed in this thread: paragraph 1 grants the right to refuse the procedure with a refund; paragraph 2 requires a request from an authorized body (Interpol, Europol, or national law enforcement per the operator's own AML/KYC Policy §6). Neither supports withholding the funds here.
The three questions remain unanswered and are repeated for the record:
(1) Which subclause makes SoF mandatory after a passed KYC?
(2) Which clause overrides the 24-hour refund deadline in the operator's own FAQ KYC/AML?
(3) Which competent authority (AML/KYC Policy §6) issued a request — name and case reference?
Until these are answered, or the funds are refunded to the original sending address (net of fees, with TxID), the complaint stands. Repetition of the same template does not constitute an answer.

This is a repetition of the same template, citing Section 3.8.2 as a whole without naming a subclause. As already established in this thread: paragraph 1 of Section 3.8.2 grants the right to refuse with a refund; paragraph 2 requires a request from an authorized body (Interpol, Europol, or national law enforcement per the operator's own AML/KYC Policy §6). Neither supports withholding the funds.
For the record: on bestchange.net, in a parallel financial complaint regarding a different Swap ID with the same operator, the BestChange administration has completed its own monitoring analysis and ruled that the operator may not have the financial complaint removed. The same pattern of unanswered questions and unilateral closure attempts applies here.
The three questions remain unanswered:
(1) Which subclause makes SoF mandatory after a passed KYC?
(2) Which clause overrides the 24-hour refund deadline in the operator's own FAQ KYC/AML?
(3) Which competent authority (AML/KYC Policy §6) issued a request — name and case reference?
Until these are answered, or the funds are refunded to the original sending address (net of fees, with TxID), the complaint stands. Repetition of the same template is not an answer.

"In limited cases (if the transaction is suspected of being connected to illegal activities) we reserve the right to freeze your exchange transaction for any period of time necessary to complete AML/KYC procedure and all relevant investigations. In such case we may refund the transaction upon the request provided by the relevant authorized bodies."
Please note that the Source of Funds (SoF) request is part of the AML review process and is required for our Compliance team to conduct the necessary investigation and complete the assessment of your case.

According to the exchange service, your order has been temporarily suspended because an AML alert (risk signal) was triggered for the incoming funds. This may happen for different reasons. In this specific case, the transaction shows a clear high-risk indicator related to 100% Stolen Coins based on a victim report.
In such cases, the service needs to conduct an additional review of the transfer details before proceeding with the exchange or, if necessary, initiating a refund. We are clarifying the details and the reasons for the suspension specifically in your case.
What we are doing right now:
• we have already contacted the service administration and requested clarification on the current stage of the review and why the order was suspended;
• we are clarifying which actions or data may be required, on what grounds, and the estimated review timeframe;
• we ask the service to keep any requests to the client proportionate to the situation and to avoid excessive requirements.
We are monitoring the matter closely and will keep you informed as updates become available.
Given the high-risk indicators, we recommend that you provide the requested information to the compliance team to proceed with the review.
As a rule, there are two possible outcomes:
• the exchange is completed if there are no confirmed grounds for restrictions; or
• the exchange service does not proceed with the exchange and refunds the funds in accordance with its rules and applicable AML requirements.
We remain in contact with the exchange service and will support this case until a clear final resolution is reached.
Sincerely, administration of the BestChange exchanger monitor.

I acknowledge the indication of an AML signal triggered on the incoming funds, including the reference to a "100% Stolen Coins based on a victim report" classification. To be able to make an informed decision on next steps from my side, I have submitted a formal request to the exchange service via ticket 640415 for the disclosure of the specific grounds of the automated decision: the name of the chain-analytics provider, the specific flagged address or hop in the deposit chain, the number of intermediate hops, and the general nature of the underlying incident. The request was submitted in good faith.
Without these details, I am objectively unable to assess the soundness of the signal in relation to my actual circumstances or to make a balanced decision regarding the SoF procedure.
I will inform the BestChange monitoring administration upon receipt of the response from the exchange service. The financial complaint is maintained at this stage pending the requested clarification and a determination of further steps.

after i contacted support, i was given answer that i need to pass KYC in order to complete exchange
I dont feel comfortable in sending my PII to anyone, thats not how crypto suppose to works. So, based on TOS
https://changenow.io/faq/kyc-aml-procedure
quote:
"In case a client doesn’t wish to disclose their identity for certain reasons and refuses to provide the documents, the KYC/AML procedure is considered failed and the deposited funds are then refunded to the address (or addresses) the deposit was made from, subtracting the network fees, within 24 hours. Then, ChangeNOW reserves the right to blacklist this address (or addresses), thus rendering it (or them) non-eligible for making deposits on the service."
i refused, than support informed me: "(14:37:53) Kate: I'm afraid a refund is not possible at the moment. Our compliance team will need to check this case, a KYC would help with that."
is this a ***? why changenow bending its own rules? i was making exchange through atomic wallet, never even was informed that money being sent to service that can do such things like making rules on the fly
i have support ticket and order number if needed. just want to bring attention to this horrible issue, perhaps you will never see your money again if using them!
| ChangeNow admin | January 30, 2025 14:42 |
We would like to clarify that your exchange was halted by our automated risk management system due to funds possible connection to illegal activities. In such cases, we are obliged to conduct a thorough investigation before proceeding with the exchange or issuing a refund. User verification is essential in this case, as outlined in our terms of service paragraph 3.4 https://changenow.io/terms-of-use
We understand the frustration you may experience but in this case, the KYC procedure is necessary to comply with our initial policy.
We would appreciate your cooperation and will do everything we can to ensure our compliance agent responds as quickly as possible.
| Kevin Berg | January 30, 2025 14:47 |
that a common thing that exchangers usually do — refund money to senders address if user denies KYC request. I dont feel comfortable sharing my PII, with you or anyone else. I need my refund, can keep a fee, blacklist me, and i will be okay with that.
| Kevin Berg | January 30, 2025 14:51 |
| Kevin Berg | January 30, 2025 14:53 |
Unfortunately, it is not possible to take further action on this case without your cooperation in completing the KYC procedure.
Thats what support on website just told me. I consider it a refusal in refund. ***

| Kevin Berg | January 30, 2025 16:47 |
i dont want to do business with you, and you clearly refuse to provide refund as per your support words. Now you says like "It not refusal, its no ETA". Very different words from different people in your service. Theres no even AML check result provided, supporting your claim. ***
"Unfortunately, it is not possible to take further action on this case without your cooperation in completing the KYC procedure." Thats a clear refusal, whatever you want it look like.
Violating your own TOS: Check!
Giving different answers each time: Check!
Refusal to make refund: Check!
False allegations about "Sucpected illegal activities" when cant provide any evidence in suport: Check!
For unclear reasons, even my order page says that fund just not arrived yet, not that it frozen for any purpose, i guess its just to cover up in case someone will decide to go further with it
So, before that i was thinking that we have misunderstanding, not im thinking that it is elaborate ***.

Unfortunately, according to the AML analysis performed, the cryptocurrency you sent is High Risk or associated with illegitimate sources such as DarkMarket, Sanctions, Enforcement action, or marked with other high-risk labels.
In this case, according to the information security rules, the international AML/KYC policy https://www.bestchange.com/faq.html#frozen-transaction and the exchange service regulations, additional verification is required to consider a refund. You agreed to the rules and the AML policy of the exchanger when creating the order.
The status of your complaint is changed to neutral with the capability of commenting.

We understand how concerning and frustrating this situation must be for you.
Please note that your exchange was flagged by our automated risk-prevention and AML monitoring system. When this happens, the transaction is temporarily placed on hold and requires additional review in accordance with our compliance procedures. These checks are mandatory and applied automatically when certain risk indicators are triggered.
We do not freeze funds without reason, and we do not process or refund transactions until the required review steps are completed. This process is part of our regulatory obligations.
Please continue communication through your existing support ticket. You will be updated there once the review progresses or if any additional information is required.

To the ChangeNOW Compliance Team,
I am writing to formally and finally decline your KYC request. My decision is final.
Revocation of Consent: Your platform is advertised as "registration-free." Forcing KYC after receiving my funds is a bait-and-switch tactic that violates the principle of informed consent. I hereby terminate any service agreement with ChangeNOW.
Return to Source (Status Quo Ante): Since I refuse the exchange service, no transaction has occurred. Under standard commercial law, if a contract cannot be fulfilled, both parties must be returned to their original positions. You are currently holding my property without a legal basis.
The "Clean Hands" Argument: If you suspect the funds are "linked to illegal activities," I challenge you to provide a formal report from a recognized law enforcement agency or a court order. Automated flagging by a private software is NOT a legal justification for the permanent seizure of private property.
My Demand: Return the full amount of XMR (minus network fees) to my original address or the refund address provided previously within 24 hours.
If the refund is not processed, I will proceed with:
Filing a formal complaint with the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA).
Opening a dispute via Ciphertrace/Chainalysis to clear my address manually.
Publishing the full chat transcript on Trustpilot, Reddit (r/Monero), and Bitcointalk to warn the community of this "KYC Trap."
I await your immediate confirmation of the refund.
| Tom | March 4, 2026 06:12 |
"You claim my funds are linked to 'illegal activities,' which is technically impossible for Monero (XMR). XMR uses Stealth Addresses and Ring Signatures, meaning you cannot see my sending address, my wallet balance, or the transaction's origin on the blockchain.
Unless you are claiming that your own internal receiving sub-address is 'illegal,' your flagging is arbitrary and lacks any cryptographic evidence. Holding my funds under a false technical pretext is bad faith and a violation of your own 'non-custodial' marketing.
Refund my XMR immediately to the address I provided. I will not provide KYC for a service that uses technical lies to hold my private property."

This time, my transaction was flagged by the automated risk system. I fully cooperated: successfully completed KYC verification (received confirmation) and provided all requested Source of Funds documentation.
However, it has now been 8+ days since successful KYC completion and full document submission, with only generic replies like "we are reviewing" and no updates on status, timeline, or next steps. The funds remain on hold, causing ongoing financial inconvenience due to market conditions.
This indefinite delay after full compliance contradicts the published policies and reasonable expectations for a service operating in 2026 with advanced automated tools available.
I kindly request immediate resolution: either complete the exchange at a fair/current rate or issue a refund to the original deposit address (minus only network fees) as an alternative, in line with your procedures for reviewed cases.
I prefer a positive resolution and would appreciate a prompt update in this thread or via support ticket. If no progress, I will continue sharing this experience on relevant platforms (BestChange, Reddit, facebook threads about ChangeNOW holds, etc.) to seek community/regulatory advice.
Thank you for your attention and swift action.
| ChangeNow admin | January 23, 2026 01:54 |
Thank you for sharing the details of your situation. We understand how frustrating it can be when a transaction is delayed after you’ve fully cooperated and completed all requested checks.
Please note that even after successful KYC and document submission, some cases may still require additional internal or partner-side review as part of our compliance obligations. These reviews are handled individually by our compliance team, and timelines can vary depending on the specifics of the case.
Your request and concerns have been noted. Once the review is finalized, you will receive an update directly via your support ticket with information on the next steps. We appreciate your patience and cooperation while this process is completed.

We understand how stressful this situation is, especially given your previous smooth experience with ChangeNOW.

Our team is still actively working on your case to ensure a proper and compliant resolution.
Please continue to monitor your support ticket — this is the safest and primary channel for official updates. Where possible, we’ll also keep you informed here.

Thank you for reaching out and for providing the documents — we really appreciate your cooperation.
The investigation refers to our AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks. These are standard procedures required to ensure that all transactions are legitimate and secure, protecting both you and all users on the platform.
All communication about your case is securely handled through your support ticket, which is the safest place to discuss sensitive details. We are still actively reviewing your case, and at this stage it is being moved to commenting status, while our team continues working diligently on it.

I am experiencing serious stress, sleep problems, and emerging health issues directly due to this situation.

Your help in resolving this quickly would be greatly appreciated.

We hear you, and we understand how frustrating and stressful this situation has been. Please know that we take your concerns seriously and truly empathize with what you’re going through.
Your transaction is currently going through AML checks, which are essential to ensure the security and integrity of all transfers. These procedures take time, but they protect both you and the platform.
Your case remains active, and while it is being moved to a commenting status, please know this does not mean it’s closed — our team is still fully working on it.

We would like to inform you that the review of your exchange is still ongoing. Unfortunately, there are no new updates to share at this moment, as the investigation has not yet been completed. We understand that the lack of updates over an extended period may be inconvenient and cause concern, and we sincerely apologize for any frustration this situation may create.
Please rest assured that our team is actively working on your case and is doing everything possible to move the process forward. Certain checks require additional time to be completed properly, but they are being handled with the highest priority.
We appreciate your patience and understanding. As soon as there is any new information or progress, we will make sure to update you promptly.
| St. HR | February 6, 2026 10:15 |
In practice, after passing KYC via SumSub on January 13, 2026, and submitting contract and invoices, the investigation continues indefinitely without details on suspicions (e.g., "linked to illegal activity" mentioned but not specified), stages, or ETA. No additional documents requested in over 15 days, yet refund denied as "investigation ongoing." Funds transferred to cold storage per their policy.
This lack of transparency potentially breaches:
GDPR Article 5(1)(a) and Article 15: Requires transparent processing and right to access information on why data/funds are held, including basis for suspicions.
GDPR Article 21: Right to object to processing if not justified.
EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive: Indefinite holds without clear reasons may be unfair to consumers.
FATF recommendations emphasize proportionality in AML checks, but prolonged inaction without progress could be disproportionate.
Their Terms allow "any period" without ETA, but regulations demand more accountability. Users should note this when agreeing to Terms, as it can lead to extended freezes even after full compliance.
| ChangeNow admin | February 6, 2026 10:58 |
Thank you for your detailed message and for sharing your experience.
We understand your concern about the prolonged review period after completing KYC and your desire for more clarity regarding what is happening with your funds.
Please note that while the investigation is ongoing, your funds remain secure and protected. AML/KYC procedures are in place to ensure the safety of all users and compliance with regulatory requirements. In some cases, transactions may require additional checks before completion, which can take time depending on the situation.
Our team is actively reviewing your case through the official support channels. Updates will be provided directly in your support ticket as soon as new information becomes available. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this process.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how frustrating this situation can be. Please note that AML checks may be triggered automatically, and each case is reviewed individually by our compliance team in accordance with regulatory requirements. These reviews can take time, especially when additional verification is needed. Our team continues to review your case, and any updates will be shared with you directly through your support ticket.

Your transaction is currently undergoing an AML check. AML procedures are standard safety measures designed to ensure that all operations comply with legal and regulatory requirements, protecting your funds. Because each case is unique, these checks do not have a fixed ETA, but please rest assured that they are conducted carefully and thoroughly.?
All your funds remain completely safe. Our Compliance team is actively reviewing your case. From our side, we have now moved your claim into the «commenting» status, as we have explained everything on our end. Any updates or decisions will be shared exclusively in your official support ticket — the most secure channel for this information.

The different timeframes you were given were estimates, not guarantees. At the early stage of a case, support can provide an approximate timeline based on typical reviews (for example, 2–5 business days). However, once a transaction requires a deeper compliance or AML review, the process no longer follows a fixed timeframe.
We understand that this discrepancy creates uncertainty, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience it causes. Please be assured that this is not an attempt to mislead you — it reflects the transition from a standard review to an in-depth compliance check.
Your case remains under active review, and as soon as the compliance team provides an update or final decision, it will be communicated to you immediately via your ticket.
| User | January 3, 2026 11:03 |
| ChangeNow admin | January 3, 2026 17:47 |
The 5 business days mentioned is an estimated timeframe, not a guaranteed deadline. In some cases, reviews require additional checks or input from compliance partners, which can extend the process beyond the initial estimate. Unfortunately, when a transaction remains flagged, we cannot release or refund funds until the review is fully completed.
At this moment your case is still under active review by our Compliance team
As soon as the Compliance team reaches a conclusion, you will be informed immediately with the next steps.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation and assure you that the funds are not being used or withheld intentionally — they remain secured pending the outcome of the review.

In this case, according to the information security rules, the international AML/KYC policy https://www.bestchange.com/faq.html#frozen-transaction and the exchange service regulations, additional verification is required to consider a refund.

To be honest, the exchanger wasn't specified when making the exchange; they told me this later, after I'd been waiting for my transaction for 24 hours.
I made both exchanges from ADA to ETH from the same address, and both were frozen by this exchanger for AML verification.
I contacted ChangeNow support, and they asked me to undergo AML verification, which was successfully completed.
Currently, they haven't specified any deadlines and are talking about their "investigation," which, as I understand it, could take an unlimited amount of time. Please look into my situation and return all funds to the wallet from which the transactions were made. Thank you.

Thank you for reaching out and sharing the details of your experience. We understand how concerning it can be to encounter a KYC request mid-transaction.

Certain reviews require cooperation with external compliance partners and must follow strict regulatory protocols. This means that even when documents are provided, the process may still take additional time.
To clarify — your funds have not been “stolen.” They remain securely locked within the ongoing AML procedure. We do not profit from holding user assets, and we have no interest in delaying resolution longer than necessary.
We have escalated your case once again, and our compliance team will update you as soon as new information is available. We appreciate your patience, and we are committed to resolving this matter properly and lawfully.
Thank you for your continued cooperation.

Thank you for your message — we understand how stressful such situations can be, and we truly appreciate your patience.
Please note that your transaction is currently undergoing an AML (Anti-Money Laundering) compliance review.
AML checks are standard security procedures used across the industry to verify the legitimacy of funds and protect users, platforms, and the financial ecosystem. These reviews can only be handled by our Compliance team and must follow strict regulations.
All communication and updates regarding your case are provided exclusively through your support ticket to ensure the security of your information.
At this moment, our Compliance team is still waiting for the complete Source of Funds (SoF) documentation needed to proceed. Once the team verifies that all required documents have been received and accepted, your review will continue.
We are marking the claim here as "solved" only because we have provided all the public clarifications we can at this stage. This does not mean your case is resolved — your main ticket remains active, and we are waiting for the necessary SoF documents there.
We kindly ask to keep the communication respectful — we are here to help and to resolve this together.
Please continue in your ticket, as all further updates will be provided there.
Thank you for your cooperation.
| BestChange admin | December 11, 2025 11:33 |
Unfortunately, according to the AML analysis performed, the cryptocurrency you sent is High Risk or associated with illegitimate sources.
In this case, according to the information security rules, the international AML/KYC policy https://www.bestchange.com/faq.html#frozen-transaction and the exchange service regulations, additional verification is required to consider a refund. You agreed to the rules and the AML policy of the exchanger when creating the order.
The status of your complaint is changed to neutral with the capability of commenting.

I’m sharing my experience with ChangeNOW, hoping someone can give me advice or point me in the right direction.
On August 18, 2025, I made an exchange through ChangeNOW for 18,000 USDT.
Shortly after the transaction began, it was automatically stopped for “AML/KYC verification.”
I immediately sent all requested documents — identification, contracts, and proof that the funds came from a legitimate investment in my real-estate tech startup.
Despite full cooperation, the verification links they sent me didn’t work (twice), and since then my funds have been completely frozen.
For over two months now, I’ve been talking with their “Compliance Department” — mostly people named James, Christina, and Monica — and all the replies are identical:
“The investigation is ongoing. We cannot provide details. Please be patient.”
It’s now November 2025 — over 70 days later — and nothing has changed.
No updates, no transparency, no proof of any real investigation, and no timeline for resolution.
I’ve done everything right and cooperated in every way possible, but I’m being left completely in the dark.
This situation has caused serious harm — not just financially, but personally.
These funds were meant to keep my company running and pay urgent commitments.
At this point, I just need my refund so I can move forward with my life and keep my business alive.
If anyone has been through something similar or knows how to escalate this — maybe through regulators — please, share your advice.
I’m not looking for conflict, just a fair resolution and the return of my funds.
| ChangeNow admin | November 3, 2025 21:06 |
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed experience. We completely understand how stressful and frustrating this situation must be, especially given the time that has passed and the importance of these funds for your business.
Please be assured that cases requiring extended AML/KYC review are never ignored — they are handled by our compliance team in cooperation with relevant partners to ensure full regulatory compliance. However, we recognize that communication delays can be difficult, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.
We’ve escalated your case internally to ensure it receives additional attention. Our team will make every effort to review the current status and provide you with a more concrete update as soon as possible. We truly appreciate your patience and cooperation while this matter is being resolved.
| Wags | November 3, 2025 22:06 |
Thank you for taking the time to reply and for escalating my case internally — I truly appreciate that.
At this point, all I’m hoping for is clear communication and a concrete resolution.
It’s been more than two months since my funds were frozen, and during this time I’ve provided every document requested and cooperated fully, without receiving any meaningful update or timeline.
I understand compliance checks are important, but the lack of transparency and indefinite delay have caused real harm to my business and my personal life. I sincerely hope that this escalation finally leads to a refund soon — I just want to move forward and close this matter properly.
Thank you again for your attention, and I’ll be waiting for your update.

Please treat this matter as urgent and help me get a resolution as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding,

Please rest assured that your case remains in active processing by our compliance team. In some instances, reviews may require additional verification steps which can unfortunately extend the timeline. We understand how frustrating this can be, and we do not take your situation lightly.
We appreciate your willingness to participate in further verification, including video confirmation. Should our compliance specialists require this step, they will contact you directly with the necessary instructions.

I honestly believed this would be a serious and transparent place to resolve my situation, but the same automated replies keep coming, with no real progress or solution.
At this point, it truly feels like you just want me to give up and be forgotten, which is deeply disappointing after more than two months of waiting and full cooperation on my side.
I’m begging you to please issue the refund, it’s only 18,000 USDT, and this amount is critical for me to keep my company and my life moving forward.
Please show some understanding and humanity and help close this matter once and for all.

Thank you for your message and for sharing your concerns. We’re sorry that the replies you’ve received have felt repetitive — that is not the experience we want to provide.
Please note that some updates from our support team may appear similar because we can only provide information that has been officially confirmed by our compliance department. Until the review is completed, we are limited in the details we can share, and this can sometimes result in standardized responses.
That said, your case is being reviewed individually, and our team is not using automated or “robotic” systems to communicate with you. Every message you send is read and forwarded to the relevant specialists handling your case.
We understand how frustrating this situation is and truly appreciate your patience. If there are any new developments, you will be informed immediately through your support ticket.
| Wags | November 17, 2025 16:26 |
I would like to address something that still concerns me.
Although you mentioned that no automated or “robotic” systems are being used, the responses I have been receiving appear highly standardized and very similar to one another. The tone, structure, and repeated wording make them feel automated, even if they are not.
I’m not questioning the professionalism of the team, but I would appreciate more clarity and more case-specific information to reassure me that my messages are actually being reviewed individually and not handled through pre-generated templates.
Could you please explain why the replies are so repetitive and what part of the process limits the team from providing more personalized updates? Any additional transparency would help me feel more confident about the handling of my case.
Thank you.
| ChangeNow admin | November 17, 2025 16:54 |
We understand your concerns and truly appreciate your patience. Regarding your question about the repeated wording in responses: all updates come from our Compliance team and reflect officially confirmed information, which is why some messages may appear similar. This ensures accuracy and compliance with AML procedures, which are legally required and sometimes limit the level of detail we can provide before a review is fully completed.
Please be assured that your case is handled individually, and every message you send is read and considered carefully. We’ve taken all possible steps on our side to ensure your case is reviewed thoroughly.
As these checks can take time, all updates and decisions will continue to be shared securely through your support ticket, which is the official channel for your case. We truly appreciate your cooperation and understanding throughout this process.

Thank you for getting back to us. We understand how frustrating this situation is, and we’re truly sorry for the stress it has caused you.
As we mentioned earlier, your transaction is undergoing mandatory AML compliance checks. These checks are required for all platforms and sometimes take longer than expected, especially when additional verification is involved. This is the only reason for the delay, and not a sign that your case isn’t being taken seriously.
Regarding the "solved" status — it reflects an internal system step after each response, it does not mean your case is closed. And we continue to work on it. We’re doing everything possible from our side to move the process forward.
Please rest assured that your case is reviewed individually, and each confirmed update from our Compliance team is shared with you directly in the ticket.

Your transaction is still undergoing mandatory AML compliance checks. These procedures are required across all platforms and may take longer when additional verification is needed. This is the sole reason for the delay.

To clarify: AML checks are mandatory procedures required for certain transactions when specific risk indicators appear. These reviews ensure that funds are legitimate and that we fully comply with global regulations. They are not optional, and we are legally required to complete them before releasing any assets.
At this stage, we cannot provide an exact ETA — AML investigations can vary in duration depending on the complexity of the case and the verification needed. For the same reason, issuing a refund is not possible until the review is fully completed.
Your documents and information have already been submitted and are currently being reviewed by the Compliance team. As soon as they are ready to provide an update, it will be shared with you directly in your support ticket.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation — your case has not been forgotten, and we will inform you the moment there is progress.

We’re removing the claim status because we have already provided all available explanations from our side, and your case continues to be handled directly within your support ticket. The claim section is not where the AML review is processed, and keeping it marked as "renewed" will not speed up or influence the investigation in any way.
Please rest assured that the Compliance team is still working on your case, and any verified update will be shared with you through your ticket as soon as it becomes available.

In this case, according to the information security rules, the international AML/KYC policy https://www.bestchange.com/faq.html#frozen-transaction and the exchange service regulations, additional verification is required to consider a refund. You agreed to the rules and the AML policy of the exchanger when creating the order.

I've already sent all the documents about the transaction, about the origin, about everything... I did the KYC, sent photos of the contracts, my ID documents, a selfie, and paid for a plan to be on the platform, and then you come here to tell me that "according to the AML analysis, the cryptocurrency is high-risk or illegitimate"? Are you kidding me? Then prove it, why high-risk? What illegitimate sources are you referring to? Be clearer, please... I think this is another excuse to take money from me, but it's okay, I've already accepted that they took it for themselves.

| Underdog | 185.209.196.* | November 17, 2025 15:21 |
There was an exchange from ETH (ERC-20) to USDT (Tron).
The approximate amount was ~$300.
The exchange went to KYC verification, even though AML services show low risk for my ERC-20 address.
Despite my indignation, I passed verification (KYC), but this was not enough for ChangeNOW. They requested detailed information about the origin of the funds, even though I made it clear that this wallet was created to receive funds directly, whether someone sends cryptocurrency from an exchange, directly from a wallet such as Metamask or TrustWallet, or whatever other wallets people use. I'm talking about the fact that it's not always exchange money, I'm not going to bother everyone about every transaction and beg them to provide me with some proof of the legitimacy of their funds, it's unprofessional, to say the least.
I asked a direct question: is there any communication from law enforcement regarding the cryptocurrency I sent you? They said no.
Apparently, ChangeNow decided to play crypto police, you know, those little crypto cops, ahaha.
To sum up, the funds are being held, in my case it's ~300 USDT. When I came here, I saw that the guys here lost more, they can't return 18,000 USDT to the guy, even though he provided all the documents.
I don't know what happened to the service. I used to make transactions from the same wallet, definitely more than 10 transactions in this exchange, and everything was fine. Maybe they sold it or it got hacked. Be careful.
| ChangeNow admin | November 17, 2025 15:42 |
Thank you for sharing your perspective, and thank you as well for having used our service many times before — we genuinely appreciate longtime users.
In this case, the transaction was flagged by our AML system. When that happens, our Compliance team is required to request Source of Funds (SOF) information. We understand that this may feel inconvenient, but these procedures are a necessary part of ensuring safety for all users and the platform.
We can only continue the review once the SOF details are provided. At the moment, we are waiting for this information in your ticket, and the process will move forward as soon as it is submitted.
To clarify: when required, we do cooperate with law-enforcement and regulatory authorities, and we follow the legal framework that applies to AML-compliant services. These checks are not about "playing crypto police" — they are standard security measures that every regulated service in the industry is obligated to follow.
We appreciate your understanding and your long-time trust in our platform, and we’re ready to proceed as soon as the requested information is received.
| Underdog | November 17, 2025 15:47 |
Amount $300 is low-risk under MiCA & AMLR.
No police investigation no legal basis to demand SoF or freeze funds indefinitely.
Your own FAQ: if user refuses additional docs -> refund within 24h.
Refund my funds to the original address within 48 hours.
| ChangeNow admin | November 17, 2025 16:15 |
We’ve checked your support ticket and can see that you’ve chosen not to provide the requested Source of Funds. We respect your decision.
We understand that the FAQ mentions a 24-hour refund if a user refuses additional documents. This guidance applies to standard situations, while in cases where a transaction is flagged by our AML system, submitting the Source of Funds allows us to complete the review efficiently and maintain the safety and integrity of the platform.
Without the SOF, our Compliance team cannot move forward with the review or release the funds.
We appreciate your understanding that these measures exist to keep the platform safe for everyone. If you decide to provide the information later, we’ll be ready to continue the process immediately.
| Underdog | November 17, 2025 18:49 |
here's another thing: I am not obligated to provide SoF. No law or rule, especially ones you've made up in your head, obligates me to do so unless it's an incident involving law enforcement. In this case, there were no incidents with them.

Your claims that this case is unique and individual will not fly. At the bottom of my review, there is direct evidence that this case is not unique and that cheating on AML checks has been a common practice at your exchange recently.

Second, you are registered in Russia, located in Russia, and based in Russia, so why does BestChange list your country as “Saint Vincent and the Grenadines”?
Please indicate your legal address in your reply, rather than telling me about your individual AML checks. Thank you.

Unfortunately, according to the AML analysis performed, the cryptocurrency you sent is High Risk or associated with illegitimate sources such as DarkMarket, Sanctions, Enforcement action, or marked with other high-risk labels.
In this case, according to the information security rules, the international AML/KYC policy https://www.bestchange.com/faq.html#frozen-transaction and the exchange service regulations, additional verification is required to consider a refund. You agreed to the rules and the AML policy of the exchanger when creating the order.
The status of your complaint is changed to neutral with the capability of commenting.

On August 11, 2025, I initiated four ETH -> USDT swaps. All were frozen for “compliance review.” I immediately provided every document requested, yet for days I only received generic, automated replies. No real communication, no progress, just excuses.
In the end, I had to involve ***, who finally got a response from changenow and pushed them to drop the vague AML excuse. Only then did Simpleswap refund my transactions.
Final outcome: I did get my refund, but the process was stressful, unprofessional, and way too slow for a company I’ve trusted with millions in volume. Customers deserve better than being left in limbo for days with no answers.
Regardless the KYC and AML delay changenow is one of the best platforms out there for exchange, it's fast and user friendly. I hope they work on the AML part and all 5 stars.

We regret that your recent experience caused stress and inconvenience. Please note that, on rare occasions, transactions may be delayed due to mandatory AML and compliance procedures required by international regulations. While these checks are necessary, we understand that communication and transparency during such reviews are equally important, and your feedback will help us improve in this area.
We’re glad to know your case was resolved and that you continue to value our service.

After several follow's ups with no response. ***, and fortunately, Changenow finally replied and agreed to issue a refund.
I received $155k out of $160k. This entire experience was stressful and disappointing.
While I eventually got most of my funds back, I personally do not recommend using Changenow.

The transaction confirmation took 18 minutes — during this time the Bitcoin price was only increasing, which can be verified through open sources such as Binance.
While attempting to resolve the situation, the support agent deliberately tried to mislead me by showing a price chart allegedly indicating a decline. However, the chart was taken from the period 06:15 to 08:00 UTC, whereas according to the service itself, the exchange took place between 09:28 UTC and 09:58 UTC.
Thus, the client (me) was provided with false information about the market situation.
Screenshots of the correspondence with support have been saved and can be provided. I can also provide the transaction hash, confirmation time, and market data at the moment of the exchange.
I hereby request that the administration take measures against the exchange service for deliberately attempting to deceive the client by providing false information about market prices.
| ChangeNow admin | October 3, 2025 16:45 |
Thank you for sharing the details and screenshots — it really helps us understand your experience.
We completely understand why the difference in payout could be concerning. For standard exchanges, some variation is expected, and in your case the difference falls within the normal range. Your exchange was processed according to these terms.
We are actively reviewing the situation, and staying in the chat with support is the best way to make sure everything is thoroughly checked. We truly appreciate your patience and the care you’ve taken in providing detailed information.

We’re sorry for the frustration this has caused. In certain cases, our Compliance team must request KYC verification before a refund can be processed. Without completing this step, we’re unfortunately not able to proceed with returning the funds.
We understand this may feel inconvenient, but the procedure is required to keep transactions safe and compliant. We kindly ask you to please remain in your current support ticket for further communication. Our team will guide you through the process and keep you updated until the issue is resolved.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

After waiting several hours I contacted support via chat and was told that it showed complete so to contact my wallet for support.
My wallet doesn't have support but it has a community and forums so after reading into it a while I upgraded my wallet, but then the transaction didn't show up at all.
I contacted support via chat again and Kate with ChangeNow joined the chat.
She said she would check into it, and after some time she said that the payout hadn't gone through due to issues in the XMR network.
She asked if they could resend to the same address, which I enthusiastically agreed to.
I'm currently waiting with fingers crossed that I'll soon see the deposit in my wallet.
Thank you so much Kate, for taking the time and having the knowledge to identify and remedy my issue for me!
No deposit yet, but I'm confident you fixed that and we're just waiting for the powers that be to push the send button again!
You truly took my stress related to losing this money away, I'm in your debt!

I have been messaging them everywhere — on Telegram, on their web chat help, and via email. And guess what? No response. No help. Nothing. It’s as if they are deliberately ignoring me. This isn’t support; this is abandonment.
Let’s remember the facts:
Exchange started 5 days ago and stuck since then.
I first tried reaching them 3 days ago — no reply.
I escalated further — still silence.
Today, 5 days later, they are still ignoring every single attempt to get support.
At this point, it feels like they don’t want to help at all. I am completely out of patience. If they cannot process the exchange, then they should at least refund my coins back to the original source address. Keeping my money trapped while hiding behind silence is not just unprofessional — it is downright shady.
Honestly, this experience shows how unreliable and irresponsible ChangeNOW is. I will never ever use ChangeNOW again, and I strongly warn others to be careful. Services like this should not be trusted with anyone’s funds.
ChangeNOW, if you can’t handle exchanges, at least have the decency to refund customers instead of pretending they don’t exist.

| ChangeNow admin | September 9, 2025 04:15 |
We understand your frustration, and we’re truly sorry for the negative experience you’ve described. Please note that your case has not been ignored — it is currently under an internal review process with our Compliance team.
In situations that require additional AML/Compliance checks, we are unable to provide an exact ETA or release the funds until the review is complete, as stated in our Terms of Service. We realize how stressful such delays can be, and we assure you that we’re doing everything possible to move things forward as quickly as we can.
We kindly ask you to continue communication through your existing support ticket, as this ensures all information is kept secure and consolidated in one place. You will be notified there as soon as an update is available.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
| Amelia | September 9, 2025 04:26 |
First, spare me the script. I’ve already run AML checks on the inputs myself—the funds are clean. There was zero indication or email from you about any AML review until now. Suddenly, after my BestChange claim appears, you tell me the funds are “under Compliance”? Convenient.
Let’s be real: you screen funds when you receive them, not days into a stuck exchange. And if you’re “taking AML/Compliance seriously,” then try taking support seriously, too. I messaged you on Telegram, web chat, and email—not a single response. Yet the moment there’s a public claim on one of the most reputable exchanger list sites, you find the time to reply. That says everything.
Here are the facts:
Exchange has been stuck for 5 days.
I contacted support repeatedly—no reply whatsoever until the BestChange claim.
No AML/hold notification was sent to me, despite you “often” informing users in such cases. Why not this time?
I am rejecting your additional compliance/KYC request. Per your own policies, when a user declines KYC, you refund. So do it—refund my coins to the original source address now. I do not authorize you to proceed with the exchange or hold my funds any longer.
Bitcoin is volatile. If you choose to sit on my funds for days without a single update, that risk is on you. Provide the refund TXID immediately.
Also, tell your lazy support team to start answering actual support tickets with the same energy they spend on marketing and social replies. When it’s about stuck funds, the silence is deafening.
If these funds were genuinely put under AML review, you should have informed me right away, like you claim you “often” do. Dropping the AML line only after a public claim looks like an attempt to spin the narrative and dilute my financial claim.
Action required now:
Refund to the original sending address used to fund this exchange.
Send me the TXID and timestamp.
State clearly when the AML flag was triggered and why no notification was sent.
I also urge the BestChange moderators to compel ChangeNOW to issue a priority refund to the original source address. Enough delays—return my coins.
| ChangeNow admin | September 9, 2025 05:46 |
All exchanges on our platform are subject to automatic AML monitoring. In cases where a transaction is flagged by the system, it is escalated for a manual review by our Compliance team. This process can sometimes take additional time, depending on the complexity of the case and the documentation required. Please note that we cannot bypass this process, as it is a necessary part of ensuring the safety and legality of transactions.
Regarding your specific request: until the Compliance review is concluded, we are not authorized to either finalize the exchange or issue a refund. This is also outlined in our Terms of Service. We understand this may cause frustration and inconvenience, but please rest assured that your case is being reviewed, and updates will be provided to you in your support ticket as soon as possible.
We sincerely apologize for the delay in communication and will do our best to ensure you are kept informed moving forward. Your patience and understanding in this matter are greatly appreciated.

Frankly, I don’t believe a word you say anymore.
Let me remind you again: I have received zero responses from your so-called support team — not a single email, not a single message — except for you showing up here to defend yourself on BestChange. If you have so much time to monitor claims on public platforms, why can’t your team answer support tickets and emails?
Either start treating your customers properly or shut your exchange down for good. With service this horrible, you don’t deserve anyone’s trust.
Refund my coins to the original source address now.
