Bitcoin Forum

I started a Bitcoin -> MoneyPak site, as i know alot of people wanting one, since BTCPak.com has went down. Me and my business partner saw this as a golden opportunity while helping others get their money from bitcoins. Im not sure if the fees are correct, but right now they are currently at 5% + $5 (because it costs $5 to purchase moneypak). This rate may change if we see that its too low, or too high. Reviews can go in this thread, and as soon as we are out of newbie stage, we will make another thread with a link to this one.

Site: MoneyPakForBitcoins.com (http://moneypakforbitcoins.com/)

This site isnt completely automated yet, but we are working on this, trying to implement the MtGox API (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/MtGox/API) into the site. If anyone has any questions or comments, please let me know.

Our moneypak inventory:
$50 - 10
$100 - 6
$200 - 3
$250 - 2
$500 - 2

UPDATE: A few have sold. Also, im told by my business partner to see if there is any interest in MoneyPak -> Bitcoin, as he said he has a few bitcoins now. If anyone is interested, please send me a PM.

UPDATE2: Just bought and transferred the domain name MoneyPakForBitcoins.com (http://moneypakforbitcoins.com/)

Bookmarked for later!  Thanks for the post!

Thanks! We are trying to get some feedback from users...what do you think of the site?

I've bookmarked this for later.

Thanks, let me know what you think of the site!

Still have moneypaks left - this doesnt look like its going to work out very well and i may be stuck with some moneypaks...anyone interested?

And we have a little over 3 BTC to trade for MoneyPaks (send PM if interested in buying BTC - this feature not yet implemented on the site yet).

Bookmarked for future use  ;D

Thanks, let me know what you think of the site!

Still got em, need reviews.

I need a 200$ so expect a buy it in  a few hours :)

Just let me know, im online and ready.

Its one of the items on the todo list, after payment, you will receive a printable receipt that will also be emailed to you.

Cool, will check out later.

Has anyone actually done a transaction here that can post as to trustworthyness?

Just let me know.

Trying to get someone to do a transaction, its kind of a catch-22, noone will buy until you have a review, and you can get a review until someone buys.

Maybe escrow some transactions at first.

just ordered a greendot card.  will try it out when i recieve it.

Im told to run a special for the first person to buy from this site - the 5% fee will be refunded (only the $5 fee has to be paid), fee will be refunded (in bitcoins) after buyer makes purchase and leaves review here.

This is a good service if legit. Hope it is.

Can someone explain the concept of MoneyPaks?

You purchase a greendot card from the store, you activate it and within 10 days they send you a customized visa/MasterCard with your name on it. One way to add money to the card is to buy a moneypak, after you get a moneypak, you get a reload pin (like a cell phone reload pin) and you call or go online and access your account and enter the pin and it adds the money to your account. Other people can add money to your account by sending you the PIN number. So when you trade btc for moneypaks, you will have the money with minutes after getting your PIN number, unlike withdrawing to a bank that takes days. I used btcpak for a long time, and when they went down, I saw a huge business opportunity and my business partner funded the project by buying the moneypaks, and I take care of the site.

MoneypakForBitcoins.com

I will be looking to do business if you get some good reviews.

You can also load many other prepaid cards with them, like a Wal-Mart Money Card.

I'm about to give it a shot with a $50.  Will report back soon.

Where can I buy a moneypak if there is no WalMart near me... yep, strange lol

Radio shack,  Kmart, CVS, target, etc there's a lot of places man

Okay.  Done the transaction and got 9 confirms (http://blockchain.info/tx/cd3da0f619bbe65b7309c0d73636acc09f00671bd0efd5378a38d467e37222bb).  You'd think someone trying to establish a new site would do the first ones fast, so we'll see what happens.

Did it work?

Not yet.  The site says something like "a few hours."

Please let it be ok, and not a scam.  Would be awesome.

To the OP, I would add a recaptcha as I just noticed you simply add an email and click Submit.

So ignore the few emails from m@m.m ;)

Seems two people have bought something as all the $ amounts point to one address atm it seems.

*Edit* Also are you manually changing the prices in BTC as I don't see anything suggesting an auto updated value?

Mine:  2013-05-23 20:57:47

Hey, other guy, you got the MP yet?

Could be this guy.

Updates?

Zip.  Nada.  Not giving me the warm and fuzzies.

That's pretty low to steal for 50.00 if its true. Could be OK still though. He said a few hours right?

Yep, I'll wait until tomorrow to decide if it's just a plain old scam.  It's just not very encouraging if there are ridiculous delays during pretty normal hours at a place in New Jersey that just opened up less than 24 hours ago.  You'd think they'd want the first reviews to be good and not meh, which is the best they get so far.

That would be me, I still haven't seen anything. I also didn't get a responce to my questions after I sent the coins.

please read my post here...

Thanks for the info, however that doesn't make me feel any better about this. I'll sleep on it and hope that it gets sorted out in the AM.

I guess I lucked out on how well btcpak worked that I expected all sites to follow the same pattern.


Thanks

Yep, and if not, the scammer thread starts.

if he scams anyone I will lead the pitchfork parade.  I promise.

I'm headed to walmart  shortly if anyone needs mp's now.  my fee is $10 per $100.

The irony kills me :)

thanks just saved the post

Scammer thread started (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=215190.new#new).

He has not responded?


Try him here:

I've looked at this (and contacted him too). The links between the two sites are only based on the email, the IP of the host, and the zipcodes are in the same area. I can construct a number of reason why these are linked or why the shouldn't be. In any case I wish I looked at this before as there are too many red flags.
There has been no response so I am in agreement with darkmule in that this is a scammer.
I will retract this statement if contacted or refunded.
Thanks.

I PM'd with the OP yesterday and did not get the impression he was a scammer in ANY way, but I may be wrong.  I'm far more concerned about the community than any one member.  I will lead the parade if this does not resolve in the next few hours.

How about you phone him, send him a letter or just turn up like the good ol' days ;)

Always up for helping.

This belongs in the scammer thread atm.  This thread is now trashed.  I'll take it there and start the parade.
