Title: Beware of buy-ethereum.com... Totally SCAM! Post by: Raja_MBZ on March 05, 2016, 01:10:29 PM I searched on Google to purchase some Ethers... and found this website on first page. Tried to search about it a bit, but couldn't find any result so decided to just purchase one of Ethers. So I sent the $10 worth BTC and guess what? Nothing received at all... Contacted them but no reply. Totally shamelessly scamming website, literally! :P

I hope you can get your ethereum! Title: Re: Beware of buy-ethereum.com... Totally SCAM!

I hope you can get your ethereum! ShapeShift.io - I used it and it worked like a charm. Got 6 ethers from my bitcoin! Title: Re: Beware of buy-ethereum.com... Totally SCAM!

The more popular coins become the bigger the amount of people who want to take advantage of the hype. The best way to get the coins you want is to use an exchange or service that has good reputation and a solid track record (it does not make it 100% safe but it is very very close to it). Just go by the idea that if it sounds too good to be true it most likely is :) Title: Re: Beware of buy-ethereum.com... Totally SCAM!

Very less fee. But anyways, from now on I will do much more research before sending my BTC to anyone. As recently, I've been scammed here as well in exchanges two times... making an amount of 0.22 BTC overall. |
