Title: SCAM ALERT http://www.ripplecoin.us/ SCAMMERS
Post by: danicellero on May 19, 2013, 10:10:16 AM
Hi, iīve bought 25000XRP from this web page http://www.ripplecoin.us/ with MtGox payment platform for 2.2BTC and didnīt receive it. Iīve written several e-mails and i was told that "my 18000XRP were sent" (18000??? I bought 25000 and didīnt receive it!!)
PLEASE GIVE THIS DIFFUSION, many people could be scammed, the page started to include much higher (now you can buy 75000XRP, before the maximum was 25000XRP).
Is there more people who have been also scammed as me?
Thank you. Hope these scammers donīt discredit Rippleīs name.

For scammed people, please send me a P.M. I want to know how many people were affected and create a common complain. Iīve got some info from the scammer and i know what to do. Iīve also contacted with Ripple and Mtgox.
Thank you.

Hi everyone, after contacting with him and sending lots of emails (to ripplecoins@gmail.com), i got my 2.2BTC back.
Iīve found that is a 16 year old british youngster from a family with economic problems.
I think heīs a good guy who has made a mistake, and if you contact him he would kindly return your Bitcoins back.

Regards.
Daniel.
