Title: scammed for over $1000 HELP
Post by: Smith2964 on April 27, 2015, 01:56:09 PM
I recently used bitlaundry.com to tumble almost 6 BTC, however the laundry is still pending and my wallet is yet to receive the funds. Its been almost 20 hours and after sending a support email with no reply, I'm beginning to realise that I have been completely had.
Is there anyone with any advice as to what I can do, any help would be greatly appreciated at this point, thanks

Please post TXID here.

When you started the process, how many days did you choose?

P.S. See http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/25753. I would use Bitmixer.io. It is well-known and trustworthy so far.

How do I get the TXID?

I chose the 'quick' option which should have been processed within 2-3 hours

In future I will use bitmixer.io

Is there anything I can do now? Are the coins lost?

no reply for 24 hours, should I wait longer? What's the next step?

Thread hasn't been replied to since 2011: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=9018.0 (after being sold to mikegogulski: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=963.msg122955#msg122955 )

Wouldn't surprise me if it's in a state of disrepair.

That looks fake to me though, the one on his website is likely the real one:

You sent Bitcoins from an address. Post that address here.

In their website, it is mentioned that if this hasn't mixed within 48 hours, Bitcoins will send back the address it came from. Hope that works.

Heard of this happening to a few people with these laundry sites. I would wait a couple days before completely freaking out. There is still a chance that it will show up or sent back to where you sent t from.
