Title: EurGold (gold and silver for bitcoin) - SCAM WARNING Post by: ShortHonesty on October 24, 2015, 05:26:01 AM The online bullion store EurGold, run by mr. Shane Buckley, is a SCAM.
The short story is that I ordered some silver about 8 days ago and the owner is ignoring me and refusing to either ship or refund. I got ripped off for ~1.1 BTC. See my post in the store's reputation thread for more info: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1141911.msg12754314#msg12754314 I urge mr. Buckley to give me my money back, or I will be forced to sell this debt to a collection agency in Ireland, which will be much less pleasant than settling this privately.

Care to post any proof of your claims?

Care to post any proof of your claims? Absolutely. His payment processor is CoinPayments and this is a screenshot of the transaction screen, proving that CoinPayments indeed received the payment: https://imgur.com/kH2t38u This is the actual bitcoin transaction in question: https://blockchain.info/tx/af1d2164d384dddab3ba407fc5aa15da9381b4487ea6afc9da9c339ef5de6237 Since EurGold did not dispatch any kind of receipt upon payment, and I'm getting no reply via email, I don't have any emails from the store itself. Furthermore: he seems to have logged into his Bitcointalk account several times in the past 8 days, so it should be in his best interest to reply here and explain himself. Why would mr. Buckley avoid replying to my PMs and posting in these threads?

Title: Re: EurGold (gold and silver for bitcoin) - SCAM WARNING Post by: ShortHonesty on October 25, 2015, 04:44:04 AM I PMd mr. Buckley again and informed him of my plans to alert his local law enforcement authorities in Dublin, should he fail to pay me back by Monday night.

Title: Re: EurGold (gold and silver for bitcoin) - SCAM WARNING Post by: shorena on December 16, 2015, 12:34:05 PM Well that was quick. ShortHonesty can you confirm?
Title: Re: EurGold (gold and silver for bitcoin) - SCAM WARNING Post by: ShortHonesty on December 19, 2015, 07:49:19 AM No refund took place. He's lying. He didn't even try to contact me, and if you look at the originating addresses in the problematic transaction, their balance is still 0.
Why is this psychopath allowed to operate here and keep scamming people? Why aren't obvious criminals and scammers banned? Title: Re: EurGold (gold and silver for bitcoin) - SCAM WARNING Post by: markj113 on December 19, 2015, 08:12:14 AM @ ShortHonesty, thought as much which is why I dropped you a pm about his claim.
Would appear the Eurgold website was up for sale recently with some interesting facts - They have managed a grand total of 2 sales. They hold no stock and drop ship. https://flippa.com/5373035-eurgold-an-online-gold-bullion-store Title: Re: EurGold (gold and silver for bitcoin) - SCAM WARNING Post by: chemy on December 21, 2015, 05:39:27 AM No refund took place.

If no refund is made then eurgold will loose his market here.Why is this psychopath allowed to operate here and keep scamming people? Why aren't obvious criminals and scammers banned? Watch out guys, beaware of scammers, this forum has many newbie,member,sr member and hero member scammers. |
