Title: Stolen coins
Post by: TimmyMilky on April 24, 2014, 07:22:41 PM
Hello, earlier I bought bitcoins from a website to pay for something from another one i wont name the site or what i planned to buy incase i am breaking the rules. The transaction on blockchain got to rougly 6 conformations i checked the website, wallet empty. I then check blockchain and there is an outgoing red transaction with 2 unknown (to me addresses) Im assuming i have lost my $300?


Is there anything i can do or can anyone shed any light on this awful situation for me? http://s28.postimg.org/bu9s7h8gt/bit.png (http://postimage.org/)

Where were the coins stored? Bitcoin wallet on your desktop computer? Phone wallet, online wallet? Depending on where they were we can speculate on what happened.

I assume from the image that you posted that the transaction that starts with 67a7e1... sending 0.56 BTC to the address that starts with 1MNtjT... is you sending the bitcoins from BitBargain to your chosen website?

As such, the 1MNtjT... address is the receiving address at the chosen website?

If so, then clearly the bitcoins were properly sent by BitBargain, and have been confirmed.

As such, you have to contact the operators of your chosen website and get them to credit your account at the website with with the appropriate amount of bitcoins.

At best, this is an error at the website that only they can fix.

At worst, the website is a scam designed to lure people like you to send them bitcoins which they then run off with.
