Title: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy? Post by: Megabit monster on February 10, 2014, 05:16:45 AM So his group buy is closed with this message. Does anyone believe this? Did we just get scammed? I lost BTC2.
EDIT: This is mrugala wife. My husband asked me to inform you as soon as possible. He is currently in hospital due to his meeting with one of the client... What the client did is robbed his of his wallet and password with 2 other guys. We tried reporting it to police but they said that they don't deal with "Guild Wars or World of Warcraft gold is not withing our reach, please talk with Bitcoin developer". We should get some money from the indemnity. Please PM us address on which You would like Your refund. There will be 105% refunds of what You send. Please be patient our rig earns 1 BTC a month and my husbands salary is also about 1 BTC per month, and I have some on my wallet - it will take up to 3-4 months to refund to everyone. We will start refunds from people who invested the most. Once again we are sorry. I closed the thread because I don't want to read bad things about my man. This is a tragedy for us all, but I think that hits us the most, please understand... Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy?

Does your warning include Newbies that start the now largest group buy co-op after being on this forum for ONLY two weeks? If so, does your warning include said above if a warehouse/datacenter is claimed to be purchased, but later changed to being only a month-to-month lease, then moved to a new location, then moved again, recently now at some unknown location in a different state? Also, what if all parties vetted each other, does the warning still apply? I know, it's a reach, and this post may come across as being penned by a troll living in his mommy's van down by the river, but pretend it's true, and enlighten me.

Post by: outgaged on February 10, 2014, 06:14:58 PM This is mrugala's wife's third cousin, twice removed, here to report bad news. While mrugala is in the hospital recovering from his massive wounds, his wife has been stricken with Pica-Blaschko-Elephantiasis, a disease common in our family going way back. In fact, I have it, but currently in remission.
Needless to say, money is now a major concern for them and their seven children, not to mention the stay dogs they feed to save them from being on the menu at the local South Korean restaurant. I have been instructed on how to have a Bitcoin mining wallet address by both of them prior to them being injected with morphine to ease their pain. Ergo, I'm now conducting a Group-Alm to amass precious bitcoins to help pay for both their hospital bills because neither one of them have insurance. The bill must be paid in full for them to be released from the ward after they heal, thus time is of the essence so that all those affected via mrugala's group buy will be repaid more faster. Apologies for any grammatical errors in this post, but English is not my best subject.

Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy? Post by: rugaal on February 10, 2014, 08:49:51 PM Hello, I am back. For some reason I cannot post from previous account.
This is mrugala's wife's third cousin, twice removed, here to report bad news. While mrugala is in the hospital recovering from his massive wounds, his wife has been stricken with Pica-Blaschko-Elephantiasis, a disease common in our family going way back. In fact, I have it, but currently in remission. Needless to say, money is now a major concern for them and their seven children, not to mention the stay dogs they feed to save them from being on the menu at the local South Korean restaurant.

Apologies for any grammatical errors in this post, but English is not my best subject. Sincerely, mrugala's wife's third cousin, twice removed And that is why we decided to close the thread. I just hope that nothing like this would happen to You. Really. Quote Please be patient our rig earns 1 BTC a month and my husbands salary is also about 1 BTC per month, and I have some on my wallet - it will take up to 3-4 months to refund to everyone. We will start refunds from people who invested the most. Once again we are sorry. For the people complaining - please do explain what here is unclear to You. We have fully refunded the person who bought 5 cards, and next in line was M..r - 4. We are considering that method to be not fair, and change the refunds to be to everyone, but some %, in waves. Let us know what You think about that in PM please. We were planing another wave of refunds in about 3 weeks - yes, it isn't easy to get even 2.0 BTC per month in postcommunist country.. But when we saw the flustration we decided to take a loan to fasten the 2nd refund wave, but it would prolong 3th wave, since we would have to get rid of the loan. 3rd wave should be in 2-3 months, and 4th wave (final one) will be in 4months, Please be patient - You will get it back. Once again we apologize, last days were really tough for us. Will update this post on progress. Partialy(30-60%) refunded 5 another clients, thank You and sorry for trouble! Please confirm. Only 23/45 cards sold afterall. If I was about to scam, I wouldn't decline offers from people when auction ended. Ask Powell for example, he wanted 5 cards, but it was already too late. I would have took his BTC if I wanted to scam. Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy?

Just maybe, there is some space for reasonable doubt here. Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy?

But isn't it much easier to send the cards than the owed BTC ? Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy? Post by: Tomatocage on February 11, 2014, 05:54:16 PM Please post your TxIDs of the incoming refunds. I will remove my negative trust for him when all accounts are settled.

What we are being told is that he met someone in person and he was beaten and robbed and as a result the BTC from the groupbuy was taken (that's why he is going the refund route instead of just sending the cards). He will now payback those who are entitled but he has to do it out of his own pocket and that will take several months. I agree it is a rather fantastic tale and I can't verify it or dismiss it out of hand. I did receive a small amount back and am being told the rest will follow. Right now that is all that I know.

Post by: Megabit monster on February 11, 2014, 10:21:11 PM Just got 0.22BTC refund from him. I think if he was a scammer i would just never come back to the forum to partialy refund us. A.) You weren't even on the list. B.) Your second post ever was to post about getting a refund in a group buy? C.) Your first post wasn't even in the Group Buy thread. Another german poster? Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy? Post by: qosmio on February 12, 2014, 02:25:01 AM why you say german poster? mrugala admitted in previous post that he himself created this fake german account with fake 20 orders and fake insults.
from krakow newspaper as quoted by mrogula: "This afternoon, around 15:10 hours in the Loop in Mistrzejowice in Krakow tram No 14 boarded two men. They approached the 18-year-old Karola N. and dragged him out of the tram. There was a struggle, during which the boy was stabbed twice. The bandits fled, taking his black briefcase." So from this we know his name is Karola N. but I dont believe this is mrugala, it looks like he posted a link from someone else and further all this reminds me on a nigerian scam.

Post by: Megabit monster on February 12, 2014, 07:30:48 AM why you say german poster? mrugala admitted in previous post that he himself created this fake german account with fake 20 orders and fake insults. from krakow newspaper as quoted by mrogula: "This afternoon, around 15:10 hours in the Loop in Mistrzejowice in Krakow tram No 14 boarded two men. They approached the 18-year-old Karola N. and dragged him out of the tram. There was a struggle, during which the boy was stabbed twice. The bandits fled, taking his black briefcase." So from this we know his name is Karola N. but I dont believe this is mrugala, it looks like he posted a link from someone else and further all this reminds me on a nigerian scam. I said german poster because mrogula admitted that he was the german poster, just like he is the post above my A B C comments. That dude wasn't even in the group buy and they log on/off at the same times. It was meant to be sarcastic. Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy? Post by: Megabit monster on February 23, 2014, 09:55:25 PM Hey Mrugala,
You still owe me BTC1.4. My refund address is 172ctgy23UjYzqvA1kmhmucHGKkV1LUnLW Please send the rest. Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy? Post by: sqabeloth on February 24, 2014, 05:13:55 AM So what is the conclusion - is it scam or not? As I am not participate in mrugala group but this sounds sorrowfully
Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy? Post by: iglasses on February 24, 2014, 02:08:41 PM Well it isn't concluded so I don't think we can say either way right now.
He sent out some refunds...has more to send but said it was going to take a few months. I am trying to remain optimistic. Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy? Post by: pinkmonkey on February 24, 2014, 02:31:27 PM are refunds still happening?

At the moment my earnings are used to pay off the loan I took to do first refund wave. My monthly earnings are 450 USD/ month + my 4card RIG, and I really can't afford to do it so fast.. I am here almost every day on forum to answer Your questions and update, but as I said I do not have such funds.. I am sorry.

It is a great pleasure for me to explain basic reading, deduction and math techniques to You. Here is some math+deduction 0.5 month for fist wave +2-3 months for second +1 for third = 3.5/4.5 months Here is some reading: Quote + my 4card RIG , please do read carefully next time. Some people have friends and family aswell. Your arrogance towards me is not helping at all. Call me whatever You wan't, You seem to ignore the facts explaining what happened which I provided to You, but You cannot deny the fact that I already started refunding, and I am willing to finish it.Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy? Post by: qosmio on February 27, 2014, 02:54:15 AM I am sure after you clear all this you will get canceled your negative rating and ppl are willing to deal with you again, I also believe administrator/moderator of this forum should display ip-addresses of problem members like they do in other forums to prevent more problems in future.
Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy? Post by: Megabit monster on March 14, 2014, 06:38:15 PM Hi Mrugala,
Any updates on when we will get refunded back some of the BTC that were Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy? Post by: Tomatocage on March 14, 2014, 06:43:34 PM Mrugala, I look forward to removing your negative trust (perhaps even giving you a +1 positive) once you repay the group buy participants. Thanks man!
Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy? Post by: mrugala on March 16, 2014, 10:25:01 AM Hi Mrugala, Any updates on when we will get refunded back some of the BTC that were I should have funds to do second refund wave by the end of april. The loan I took for first wave is already paid back. Will keep You posted if anything changes. Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy?

Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy? Post by: iglasses on April 13, 2014, 02:01:53 AM I haven't forgotten either and still hope I get fully refunded but really this type of situation is impossible to make people whole again. The cold truth is that the coin is worth less than half what it was when this started plus none of us were ever able to mine anything with this lost coin (lest we forget that was the whole point in the beginning).
Best of luck to all going forward. Mrugala I hope you are well. Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy? Post by: qosmio on April 17, 2014, 01:05:29 PM mrugala here is my address for refund of 0.5301 BTC
1FchRZqwZRc8e8cSKt7cgVmN58bydK5Bsx please do so asap, thank you Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy? Post by: DiamondCardz on April 17, 2014, 07:14:49 PM Last Active: March 19, 2014, 07:28:36 PM
Yep guys, you got scammed...anyone who hasn't already got the small refund he was giving out has lost out even more. Psychology is a dick. Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy? Post by: blackvoice on April 20, 2014, 11:56:20 AM So his group buy is closed with this message. Does anyone believe this? Did we just get scammed? I lost BTC2. EDIT: This is mrugala wife. My husband asked me to inform you as soon as possible. He is currently in hospital due to his meeting with one of the client... What the client did is robbed his of his wallet and password with 2 other guys. We tried reporting it to police but they said that they don't deal with "Guild Wars or World of Warcraft gold is not withing our reach, please talk with Bitcoin developer". We should get some money from the indemnity. Please PM us address on which You would like Your refund. There will be 105% refunds of what You send. Please be patient our rig earns 1 BTC a month and my husbands salary is also about 1 BTC per month, and I have some on my wallet - it will take up to 3-4 months to refund to everyone. We will start refunds from people who invested the most. Once again we are sorry. I closed the thread because I don't want to read bad things about my man. This is a tragedy for us all, but I think that hits us the most, please understand... -------------- Pretty sure Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy? Post by: iglasses on April 21, 2014, 03:28:39 PM The part I don't get about these types of situations is why bother to refund anything? It's not like he can ever run another groupbuy with that ID. Once you got away with it what's the thinking behind returning anything to people you just got over on?

Once you got away with it what's the thinking behind returning anything to people you just got over on? Because, of course, these scammers are hoping to buy some time to get away with it. If you feel you've been scammed, you'll go after the scammer immediately... but if the scammer tries to say, 'oh, I'll pay it back!' and gives some 'proof' that they're willing to give it back, by giving people a small percentage of their money, gullible people will believe this story is possibly true, because just 'waiting' for money is a lot easier than trying to persue the person. The scammers then have some time to either (a) hope most people forget about it months later (b) change IP addresses by changing hosting providers, or some other way of hiding. It's such a common scheme, I really don't understand why so many people fall for it - must be their first time seeing this type of scheme. And who in the world, once robbed, and in the hospital needing money to pay bills and lost wages at work would instead of thinking of himself, refund money to people he doesn't know on the internet. Money he doesn't have. He should write about being concerned about finding who the people are that beat him up / stole something. Plus, who in the world steals bitcoins by beating someone up? It's ridiculous. Title: Re: Did we all just get scammed by mrugala group buy?
