I am only hearing of this exchange for the first time, it may be because it was not located in my own region and many could not have access to it either from where I live, however, it feels bad to have such an experience: having your coins held by a platform without any explanation of why they are doing so.

I can remember vividly that this forum is one of the platforms that always warns members not to have their assets in custodial storage because of incidents like this that have happened and that will always be, non-custodial storage is one of the most preferred means to always secure our assets if we want a third party to exercise control over them, not your keys not your coins.

Posting your email address in a public forum is probably a risky move that you should never do. You are exposing yourself to social engineering attacks, phishing attacks... among other things. Please edit your post and remove that email address.

Regarding the screenshots you just shared, could you please re-upload them to talking.com and share them? Imgur isn't as friendly as it used to be.

Your case is over 2 years and having a client wait for that long is quite absurd.

Meanwhile, I would suggest that anyone trading on smaller exchanges should take all their money out of the exchange when they have finished trading rather than leaving large amounts of money on the exchange. 


Better: Don't use such unknown exchanges at all.

If the exchange is a scam and wants to steal your funds, they don't need you to keep your funds for a long time there. All they need is that you make a deposit.
Report to moderator
If everything actually happened just the way you have described, then it's very hard to justify keeping a user's funds locked for two good years with very little or no communication at all.  If there is a compliance check or other problem, then the exchange should clearly explain what the problem is, and what the user should do to fix it the issue.  For me, giving someone a silent treatment only creates distrust.

Meanwhile, I would suggest that anyone trading on smaller exchanges should take all their money out of the exchange when they have finished trading rather than leaving large amounts of money on the exchange.  This type of situation is a reminder that it is always risky to trust an exchange with coins.

By the way, have you read their terms of service, especially the "restricted users category" section?

QuoteWe strictly prohibit the use of our platform by individuals, institutions, or entities located in or associated with FATF high-risk jurisdictions or sanctioned countries (including but not limited to North Korea, Iran, Syria, and others as defined by OFAC, UN, or EU lists).https://www.coinlocally.com/en_US/terms#:~:text=,4.%20FATF,-Compliance%20%26%20Sanction%20Screening

Most global exchanges refuse deposits from users based in conflict-prone regions. I wonder if that's why your funds were frozen (I suspect so).

You're absolutely right, if the exchange has been established with the sole purpose of defrauding users right from the start, then they don't have to wait for months or years to defraud anyone of their money. Immediately you deposit your coins into their platform, then your funds is practically at their mercy.

The tricky part is, not all scams are easy to spot. Some platforms seem legit at the beginning, make you go through the withdrawal process for a while and gain your trust before issues begin to arise. Which is why it's best to choose trusted exchanges and always avoid leaving big amount of money in any exchange.

If you sent USDT from a centralized service that shows you're from Iran, you were most likely blocked for that reason.
if you sent USDT from non-custodial Tron wallet, they won't know you're from Iran because your IP address doesn't appear in Tron network transactions.

In any case, since they stopped responding to your emails two years ago, I regret to say that your assets have been lost. Using centralized platforms, especially for countries with problems like Iran, is a big mistake.
You need to be more careful in the future.

@OP: you can't really expect registered companies to violate EU/US sanctions.
@OP: some of your imgur.com links don't work.

When it comes to the exchange in question, they enforce those sanctions only when people want to withdraw their funds.

I just contacted their live support and asked whether people from Iran are allowed to use their service.

See their response.

Now that's quite a twist. They use KYC to trap user funds. They kind of remind me of HitBTC. I would prefer if an exchange was upfront about the sanctioned countries and all that by not even allowing one to deposit if they were from a certain jurisdiction that is banned

In fact, I have even seen some exchanges allow users to withdraw their funds but then lock/delete the account afterwards.

It's likely a Perso-Arabic script, The OP may be from Iran but Support doesn't necessarily come from restricted regions. The script is also used for several Arabic-derived languages ​​in countries surrounding Iran that aren't blacklisted or considered high-risk by the platform's terms.

I did the same thing...

Support takes a few minutes to write each reply. I think they're writing carefully.

They are trying to scam as many users as possible.

The support claims that "Account restrictions are unrelated to users' nationalities" even though they have listed several countries as restricted in their terms.

Of course, I don't think only users from restricted countries are affected. They probably scam people from all over the world.
