Title: http://www.bitcoinexchange.cc -Scam!
Post by: Splatter on February 07, 2012, 06:23:17 PM
I ordered from this individual Monday last week and after around four days of him bobbing and weaving me with a handful of excuses I have not yet received anything from this individual.

It is now over a week later, & I am very upset as 9 months using bit coin I have not yet found someone as dishonest as this person to run off with hundreds of dollars.

Do not user this vendor, he is a scam

It does, and he has a long thread in the exchange forum which I couldn't post to because I'm new.

But I looked him up in SR forum and he has a bad reputation & an equally long scam thread that I did not see prior to making this order. Unfortionatly I took his rep here at face value and didn't search more into him.

I'm sorry brother (ehemm edit sister sorry), if it is any consultation he took me for about a hundred more then you.

I'm going to do some google foo and see if I can find anything else about him. His domain is godaddy but it is private (ie no admin contact info). But I wonder if they can be engineered into giving it up. Or if having a bunch of people complaints would get them to close him down.

I'll report any results in a few hours.

Ok I found a registry that has some more then just godaddy's info

Registrant:
   Digital Traders
   111 NE 1st Street
   Miami, Florida 33132
   United States

   Registered through: Go Daddy
   Domain Name: BITCOINEXCHANGE.CC


   Administrative Contact:
      Traders, Digital  admin@bitcoinexchange.cc
      111 NE 1st Street
      Miami, Florida 33132
      United States
      +1.3056581356    

The 305 number in Miami matches the contact info number he uses on bitcoinexchange.cc & the same email is used throughout. I think it's safe to say this is the individual responsible. 

After some more research they are not listed on the building marquee, got to love Google maps, but there is a virtual office company in the building so I'm guessing he is using that & not dumb enough to rent space.

They aren't a scam so much as they are just slow. I'm sure that this will be taken care of. That being said, I've contacted BitcoinExchange and informed them of this thread.

Thanks Maged, hopefully they will come clean here & make good what is owed.  I also let him know that I was going to post this thread, so if he is legit hopefully he will come through.

I'll post an update if he does.

They've been around for quite awhile. However, this isn't the first time that this has happened. That said, it has always been resolved.

Thanks I sent him an email at that address & again told him that this thread existed and was outing his domain / email information. Hopefully he will man up & pay. after 20+ days I am not holding my breath.

I'm more about preventing anyone else from being taken..

Splatter,

Please send me another e-mail or a PM with your e-mail address, if I owe you BTC I will get it sent to you right away. I have been travelling and have not been on top of my e-mails for the last few weeks.

I have sent you a PM as well.-

This is not a single case. He still owes me around 400 USD from back when he disappeared several months ago, ignores every inquiry both through PM and mail, and i have knowledge about AT LEAST one more person he owes quite a lot of money, obviously without giving a shit about it. I have done business with this guy 4 times i believe(how stupid i am), and only one of the times have not been without him constantly lying and extreme delays. He has always seemed more or less careless about it. Even though he pays everyone back I would not recommend my worst enemy to do business with this guy.  Sorry the grammar and spelling, am travelling but had to get in and write about this guy when i saw he was back advertising

I'm not lying, I have a very small staff that helps out. For the most part I have more orders that I am able to physically process, not due to lack of funds simply due to lack of hours in the day.

If there are delays, that is all they are, a delay. If someone sends me funds while we are not operational or overwhelmed we do not steal the funds, we refund them as soon as we are able to make contact with the customer.

My advice is to ensure that we reply to your e-mail personally before you send funds. We offer a personalized exchange where you will interact with a person instead of an automatic script.

As I stated earlier, contact me and I will resolve your issue right away.

I've got my money. Seems like the quoted post was pretty much the whole reason that happened, but well, isnt it always like that...
