Salvex Is a Scam – They Kept My $30,000 and Lied About Bids
I’m writing this to publicly warn everyone: Salvex is a scam.
Over a year ago, I deposited $30,000 USD into my Salvex account. They’ve been holding my money as a credit balance ever since and refusing to return it to my bank account despite repeated requests. Every time I ask for a refund, they ignore me, delay the response, or simply go silent. They are refusing to return my own money.
To try to recover at least some value from this situation, I recently placed a $30,000 bid on a product listed by a seller I personally know and trust. The seller contacted me directly and said my offer was “too low” and asked if I could bid higher — which made no sense to me.
Later, the same seller showed me screenshot proof that Salvex only presented him with an offer of $10,000, not the $30,000 I actually bid. In other words:
I placed a $30,000 bid (I have full screenshots).
Salvex only showed the seller a $10,000 offer.
This isn’t just poor service — this is fraud.
They are withholding customers’ money, lying about bids, and manipulating offers between buyers and sellers for reasons I can only assume are dishonest or illegal.
After more than a year, $30,000 of my funds are still stuck, and Salvex continues to avoid any accountability. I also know several other people who have had similar experiences with them, and I believe this is a pattern.
I strongly advise everyone: stay far away from Salvex. This company is not trustworthy. I am now in the process of taking legal action, and I will not stay silent until this issue is resolved.
