This is what you call a tolerated scam. Or a scammer operating with impunity.
They have FinCEN credentials so they know they are untouchable. Sometimes I wonder why they are not meted the same treatment and penalties suffered by other rogue exchanges (btc-e for example). The authorities are doing nothing to deter them from doing these scams. It's an American company so by default, they are presumed to be operating by the rules.
So now you're at their mercy. 2.1 bitcoins held hostage until they decide to press the release button. I suggest bombarding them day and night with reminders to release YOUR coins. Their staff seem to have a hard time understanding the difference between what's theirs and what's not theirs.
Its crazy isn't it. I was asking someone who I thought was scamming me to return my 2.1 bitcoins that I sent to him, details here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2090925.0Then he sent it to me through COINBASE, who would have thought that now exchanges are scammers? Unbelievable |

I would recommend you reformatting the OP into the appropriate scam accusation format. You haven't really made it explicitly clear what exactly is your problem, but i'm going to assume that your problem is that coinbase is holding up your transaction of 2.1 BTC to someone else that does not use coinbase(aka an actual on-chain coin transfer). This is quite common with coinbase, and yes their customer support is terrible. The CEO of the site knows it. Unfortunately, you just got to wait. I have no idea how long, but keep trying to reach their customer support and eventually they will solve your problem. This is why you use a desktop wallet which you control your own keys with, not a web wallet service, especially with amounts like this high. You failed to read my message. No I do not have a coinbase account. I am WAITING for someone to send me funds from a coinbase account. It is NOT my transaction, I am waiting to RECEIVE funds from someone who has a coinbase account. I accused this person of scamming me so he is returning my funds. My scam report of this person is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2090925.0So after thinking of getting scammed by one individual, the exchange then scams me, what a nightmare! |

I have once had my translation of 0.1 BTC pending for 42 hours. I guess you just have to wait..
Does your transaction show up on the blockchain at all? If yes then you are in luck. Even if it doesn't Coinbase said they will return funds after 24 hours. Just use a hardware wallet - much better security and more reliable too.
Do you mean this: https://blockchain.info/address/1DmDkdarNj2kpsgjUchEdbfft79SGavw9TI don't see anything. My wallet address is this one: 1DmDkdarNj2kpsgjUchEdbfft79SGavw9T How can I check if it is on the blockchain? Regards |

The scamming came from my account so i need to straight things out.
It is from my own money, but i guess its my fault that i had weak password on every forum Sad
Its the right thing to do also. And i want my account back with good reputation.
I have too many other projects going on to let destory my reputation by few dollars ...
I dont know if you noticed but i am admin of simplemining.net
We are selling Devices for resetting freezed rigs and we are selling mining Operating system.
You should see this that it would be veery stupid to steal few dollars and hurt my company so badly .... dont you think ?
But you need to decide yourself.
He is lying, don't believe this sack of $hit |

Wait, hold your horses.
This guy tytanick is a lying piece of $hit.
I have proof.
His account was NOT hacked, how can you people be so stupid?
When I was conversing with him, it was through email AND SKYPE.
HIS COMPANY SimpleMining.net ON SKYPE.
I was chatting with him and he was trying to scam me using chat and emails.
SO your telling me someone hacked his email / account here / and Skype account for his company?
hahahaha
I ain't buying it.
His company deserves to go bankrupt, throw him in jail, throw away the key
Thats all folks

Wow, I am sorry to hear about it. I am only going to use someone with a history of trustworthiness. Be safe, always ask for their ID and pictures of merchandise they have to sell. Tell them to take a picture of it with today's date written on a piece of paper. Also always use an escrow. Please contact the FBI on this guy if you got scammed, here is their website, you can file a complaint online: https://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspxAlso please file a complaint with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#&panel1-3Good luck |

Hey,
I came across a LEGENDARY status member tytanick here who seemed like a scammer.
Remember all one has to do to get this Legendary status is to create a lot of posts constantly.
You'd get that status, that status is directly and only related to user activity.
The idiot owns a website and thinks it makes him special for some reason.
Any idiot can create a website, even a bum on the street.
To be completely honest I DID threaten him and told him to go f*** himself.
This particular user did not want to use escrow, did not show a valid proof of payment.
In the first message to me, this assclown and his lapdog meatmeat presented me with their bitcoin address right away
begging for money.
These assclowns need to be jailed, seriously.
BEWARE OF THEM, you have been warned of these scam artists.
I can post proof of the conversations, just ask.
To all scammers who are even thinking of fuc**** with me, don't even think about it.
I have already contacted the FBI on several members on this board,
Regards

It's a sad fact that most of the 3rd party resellers advertising here at the Bitcointalk are scammers.  Eastshore.xyz and Holybitcoin.com are the few that I know are trustworthy. Hi, I was able to access the eastshore website but I could not reach holybitcoin, is their website down for maintenance or something? Regards |

Like I said to you in PM, they are registered from Russia I cannot confirm if they are indeed a scam but it sure looks & feels that way.
This sucks, I got scammed by 2 websites now total..............and possibly 1 individual.... |

Let me know if there is anything else I can do.

For the sake of transparency. Consider providing a screenshot of the email where he mentioned his btc address to you. It should be the same address [16hqjoMuZQbWc66VQV4pmd3vuhALFadQo4] as shown in your screenshots. This just lets other people see the validity of your argument and they too would consider leaving a negative rating on his profile. But keep in mind, this may not actually compel him to do anything, this is a newbie profile he can simply create another. So consider posting a screenshot of the email exchanges between him & you. Consider exposing his license that he showed you. Don't hold back. You've already lost your money and you cannot lose anything else at this point. Sure, that's no problem, here is a direct screenshot from my email account: http://imgur.com/a/2GV3bI will wait till next week to see if my money is returned. If it is not then I will expose his license and go to the local and federal authorities. Regards |
