Title: (COMMUNITY ALERT) Virwox stole my money
Post by: aymenaalbers on August 04, 2014, 01:47:51 PM
So some time ago, I posted this: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2cbxl/community_alert_virwox_scammed_me/
Now they decided the claims in Virwox's favor.

The whole story:
On 24 and 25 July I deposited the amounts of 60 EUR as per their limits.

On 26 July, I was greeted with a message that my account had been disabled. My PayPal money, however, was not refunded.

Since then I have been emailing their support email every day, and there has been NO RESPONSE WHATSOEVER.

No cooperation at all.
So then I opened 2 chargebacks on 30 July.

I escalated them to claims after they STILL didn't bother to answer me. This means PayPal decides what happens.
Today they were decided in their favor for some reason. I realise I have slim chances of getting my money back, so the best I can do is warn others not to deal with these fraudsters.

tl:dr Virwox stole my money, USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION.

I opened a case and lost it. The best part is I haven't received as much as an email from support.

They did this to me. I would never use them again.

I haven't had issues with them. Not yet at least.

If Paypal goes in favour with them, then something's up. Are you able to ask Paypal why they ruled in favour of VirWox (I don't use Paypal, not sure).

Wow - I've used Virwox many times to buy coins with paypal. I never had an issue with them at all.

Have you bought coins with them before?
