Title: Spectrocoin using my 100 Bitcoins for themselves scam scam
Post by: Rastaways on November 02, 2016, 05:38:44 PM
It been 9 months since spectrocoin locked my account that contains 100 Bitcoins without resolving it but rather they locked my account , blocked my email address and phone number so they are use for themselves and also locked online chat whenever I put my email addrsss godspowerrasta@yahoo.com  on their website or online chat. Can someone help me or can they resolve this so I can have my Bitcoins back or they still it forever

As per the scene they have many scam reports pending and most of them are of huge volume, i will suggest you to stop using their services till the old stories are unfolded.
scam Thread #1 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1515839.0) , Thread #2 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1669877.0) and many more could be found with just a google search.
I had previously sent them a PM for reviewing their platform but they clearly rejected it, so i am sure they want shills to promote them.

You wanna know what kind of company you'd be dealing with?
Then as mentioned above, read the other scam threads against spectro and take a look at their rep VytautasK (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=317543) profile.
Make sure to pay close attention to their trust score and negative feedbacks from numerous users.

Personally, I wouldn't use them.

Anyway, make sure to research carefully and then decide for yourself.

I don't understand why I see complaints against Spectrocoin only when they lock accounts with huge amount of bitcoins, like 70, 90 or 100 bitcoins.
Now to the topic. I think there was reason why you was blocked. Maybe you break their ToS or something similar?
If their support don't respond to you, you can write PM to forum member VytautasK or SpectroCoin_support or just write about your issue on their thread on bitcointalk.
P.S. I can't understand why people keepvsuch big amount of bitcoins in online wallets/exchanges.

So they only lock accounts if there are large amounts in them?
What if someone who had a small amount like 0.02btc in there account and did the same thing the person who had 100btc in their account? Would they lock their account or just let it go because that's not enough for them to confiscate their funds and just hope they will continuing using them until they have a bigger amount of say 0.5btc until they decide to want to lock it so to confiscate those funds too to get a bigger payout for them?
That is what it sounds like what's going on here with this exchange/debit card company and the way that they so called "operate". ::)

I don't think that Spectrocoin lock accounts with many bitcoins just because they want to steal it. Maybe users break Spectrocoin ToS or fraud activity was noticed.
But also, it's not very usual thing to keep so many bitcoins on online exchange/wallet where users don't have full control of their coins and they have to folow qebsite rules.
It would be interesting to hear few words from Sprctrocoin about this issue.

He could of had that wallet for as a casino withdrawal address. Who knows.
The reason being is they took the funds in that wallet.
They should answer the reasons why they did it for all to see their answer for doing this in the first place.
That's the real statement here to be proven or not.

This service appears to be a scam to me, i have tried to call the office number and all i get is a beeping sound.
I am also chatting to Adele and she can not explain to me the steps involved in exchanging BTC to ZAR and then how you transfer that in to a local bank in South Africa.


My recent and only live chat below:
===========================

   
SpectroCoin live chat   
AdeleSupport Agent

Adele Hello. How may I help you?

James hello

James
sorry to keep you waiting, i went to make tea quick.

Adele It is fine Smiley

James I would like to know if this service is for me or not
I need to understand in baby steps how to sell bitcoin?
If i have bitcoin and would like to exchange it to my currency and then send it to my bank
can i do this?
The most cost effective way please, this important to me because i am not wealthy

Adele Yes. If you have bitcoins, you can exchange them to other currencies and transfer to your bank. Are you verified?

James Okay
So can we confirm if i have the correct requirements?
I would like to make 100% sure this is not expensive in fees and that i can exchange to my currency and then how to send to my bank

Adele In order to be able to do it, you need to verify your profile

James okay , but i a, not ready to verify anything yet until i know that i can do this
I am not able to verify as yet because i would like to know that i can indeed exchange to my currency and then transfer it to my bank with your facility.

Adele You can. The customers from South Africa can verify their accounts, deposit and withdraw money
and get our debit cards

James I am looking for the steps involved and what fees are involved
btc to zar - fees?

Adele There is no such thing as fixed fee. It can be calculated in BTC selling form here: https://spectrocoin.com/en/sell/btc.html
The reverse process is here: https://spectrocoin.com/en/buy/btc.html
The currencies we support: GBP, USD, EUR

James and ZAR ?

Adele No. You can deposit money from ZAR credit/debit card, but it will be exchanged during the transaction

James Doesnt sound like i want this service
Poor support if you ask me
I want to exchange my BTC to ZAR and withdraw it
u need to be able to answer that question else i am not interested

Adele You can do it, but withdrawal will still be in GBP, USD, or EUR

James How can i verify if you cant explain to me in simple steps how the process works and if there is no shortfall.
I am trying to call the office
+442037695474
The phone does not ring

Adele Sorry, I need to chat with 7 people at the same time in this job. Please specify which part is not understandable to you? Also, the office hours are finished. Nobody will answer the phone till Monday

James after withdrawal to GBP, USD, or EUR then can i transfer to my bank which is ZAR
it is 3:30 PM ? office is closed?
If i go to https://spectrocoin.com/en/sell/btc.html
I can see ZAR in receive currency , so i dont understand ?
You said i can only exchange to GBP USD EUR

Adele Our support team is working in Lithuania, the time zone is different here. It is 17:32 in our country. Yes, you can. The withdrawal is done in EUR, GBP, USD. If your bank support different currencies, it will be exchanged during transaction

James But when i exchange on the link i gave you it has an option for ZAR so i dont understand this ,still
It is not limited to USD GBP and EUR, this is what i dont understand, it does have an option for ZAR

Adele I believe you have created yoursef a ZAR wallet in your account
You can exchange money to ZAR
Some people like to have various types of currencies

James I have actually not got an account so i dont understand what you are telling me.
I have not created any wallet

Adele But you checked the link? icsoka21@gmail.com this email is registered in our system
Once you log in to this site, the account and wallet are created to you

James 4:42 pm okay
i will try this and see if it works
Thanks for your help

Adele You are welcome, Apologies I couldn't give you more attention. It is quite busy at these hours

100 BTC.
Why would you store it in anything other than cold storages, people would definitely scam for 400,000 USD, and you stored it in a exchange, which is pretty much giving them your money. Plus you deposited probably one of the least reputable exchanges.

Try file a lawsuit against them, that's a lot of money lost and I would be fighting tooth and neck to get it back.

Personally, no problem with Spectrocoin at all. Having participated in their ICO "Bankera", I even got my first comission! For me it's legit and all people that used it and I know them, they say it's legit.
