Please don’t buy Bitcoin from Wirex! Wirex is a total scam please be aware of fraud

I’ve had Wirex since last October and was pretty pleased with the service as I could exchange foreign currencies with bitcoin and could use my Wirex VISA debit card literally anywhere in the world. As I slowly gained trust over the system, I have put a ton of money into my Wirex debit card (over 15000 USD) and even invested in their crowdfunding campaign. But then, this past month, all of a sudden, they’ve blocked my account miraculously and so I couldn’t get access to my funds in the card. I tried contacting customer service but there isn’t really a customer service hotline to call and they never once responded to my emails. So, I think I’ve lost 15000 USD in total.

What I’ve read online (which I really should have done before) is they’re probably pulling an exit scam. Gaining good ratings through smaller accounts while blocking bigger accounts with larger $$. I’ve read other dodgy things about them.

Reported this incident to the London Police and Financial Ombudsman. Hopefully, I can get my funds back but I think it’s gonna be a fight.

Only bitcoin based companies I trust so far is Coinbase but please be aware of financial companies claiming that they sell bitcoin especially with the recent Bitcoin Frenzy. Research research research!
