Title: Bitcoin Exchange Ltd Post by: tork on January 19, 2014, 12:47:31 PM Their business model: You deposit your BTC with them in exchange for nothing but broken promises and wasted time What happened: Chatted in some detail about the services claimed which are to trade BTC for $ funded to Bank Account, Paypal CreditCard and various other payment processors. Rates, fees and timescales seemed reasonable, not too good to be true just average. Appeal was simplicity, in the UK its quite difficult converting BTC to £. The best site for it is BitBargain. But this seemed interesting if genuine. Thought it over a few days and decided to test them out:
Scammers Profile Link: n/a Reference Link: https://bitcoinexchangeltd.com Amount Scammed: 1 BTC/$930 (the then rate) Payment Method: Bitcoins Proof of Payment: https://blockchain.info/tx/4d6ca6e5a4ee6a2bce7b943436cc2435ec5e34953ce26d73580ae2ddd88a2923 BTC deposits (by others) to their same address I used: https://blockchain.info/address/1Ndvbh9Li8Bm8jSSfPUyj3ytNrNz49HxWV?offset=200&filter=0 Additional Notes: My test of their services proved to me these are scammers, confirmed by subsequent enquiries and conversations with other victims of these criminals. The matter is now with the police. Whether they take this up depends on other priorities measured in part by the number of complaints and the scale of the fraud. So if they have taken your Bitcoin in exchange for nothing but broken promises be sure to contact UK Action Fraud http://www.actionfraud.police.uk on 0300 123 2040 (or +44 161 234 9230 if calling outside the UK) Title: Re: Bitcoin Exchange Ltd Post by: tork on January 19, 2014, 01:01:59 PM I have asked them to refund my 1 BTC to 1Xrq1WBsdcPkDTEfbySETtv4ZiNWENhFk
