He took me for $400. Totally fooled by the great feedback. Fighting it with Paypal now but it's with the credit card company. Sent Paypal everything I had on him, thanks to this thread. Any other suggestions anyone?

Guys, I am extremely happy to let you all know that they sent me back every penny today. Yes, the guys at Paymium who ran instawallet just returned almost 4btc to me that I sent to their wallet by complete accident. A wallet address I had not used since 2011. I managed to figure out a way to prove that I was the one that set the coins, and after a few, 3 months ,I got paid back every penny.
I figured I owed it to them, davout and boussac, to let them know how much they made my day today.
Thanks guys!

I have confirmed, multiple btc withdrawals and a drk withdrawal. It's in the history, but says pending. No confirmation ID or anything. Hopefully somebody can find something out. They arr usually very good with notifications via website, social media, etc.
OR it would be great if someone can try making a small withdrawal and confirm the same.
Regards,
CryptoMiner

I've tried withdrawing in multiple coins, all of them just say processing and are stuck. More than a few hours now. Anyone else with same issue?

Oooh,, this sucks.. Keep us informed. At this moment I have some challenges myself. 0,9 Coins into gox... (A.K.A sponsored to mark) And a whole lot of coins parked by scammers on BTCjam.  Thanks bok. I'll keep you guys informed. Boussac and D=davout want to send the funds back to the wallet address where the coins came from. I need to first confirm the website where I sent the funds from will be able to retrieve the coins if I have them do that. Unfortunately my wallet on the site does not match the address the coins came from when I made the transaction. What do you mean about scammers parked coins on btcjam? Please explain(You lost me, lol) Thanks bok! |

If they give back the coins, you should give them a reward for doing so. Perhaps they can use that reward towards paying off their debt.
I'm prepared to be extremely generous if they do. Honestly the more time that passes, the more it's about the point. I have some confidence. They never had to admit they received anything and they did so that's a good sign. Waiting to hear back. |

The guy Davout reached out to me unsolicited & on his own letting me know he's aware of the situation and asked if he could send the btc back to the same address the block chain shows they came from. I told him it would be a risky move since I sent them from a website in which my depositing address does not match the address the lost coins were sent from. I could reach out to the site and see what they can do but either way it's risky, no?
I asked if he would send the coins back to the very first depositing address (1DrB37v7pJBwcf9LZngzpxyhjN4eEZDdAVk) for that instawallet which was made on 8-22-2011 since I still have access to that original address.
I'm waiting for a reply now. I'll let you guys know how it goes but it looks like it could be promising. Fingers crossed guys. In case not...who was it asking for my donation address? =)

Well, I can't get to excited. They told me they put me in rotation to receive my coins back in June, when they make their next payout to the people that lost money. Honestly it does stink, especially since I can see they already received my coins and moved them into another account. All you guys can clearly see that.
Did anyone hear of any reports of anyone getting paid back since that nightmare? (Which BTW I did lose money when they got hacked)
I remember they implemented some kind of claims system. How did that ever work out? Anyone know? Guess I need to start searching here.
Anyways, for the record, Boussac is the one that I reached out to and the one communicating with me. He just told me he reached out to
Davout and I guess that's who will be paying me back in June. Honestly both of them are ripped to shreds in these forums so I would love to have the pleasure saying they gave me back my coins. It would certainly lend to their credibility if they pay a person back when they don't have to as it was my assholishness that made the mistake in the first place.
Well, I can't do anything other than be patient. I will certainly very happy if they come through. Just don't know why I need to wait until June but I'll wait.

Thank you for the kind words guys. I really can't believe it but they confirmed it. Although it's my fault for getting into this mess, this would be huge for them. Anyone here remember the disaster that happened with them? Was a while ago and too bad for them, their service kicked ass.

Wow guys, Paymium/Instawallet have confirmed that the address is indeed theirs and are working to get my bitcoins back! Awesome.
Wow, an address from 2011.

For those that actually care, Instawallet/Paymium have confirmed that it is one of their addresses indeed and are working to get my funds back. That would truly be epic. Will update here.

Great message. Congrats on getting it sent and as a public post so all will see the message. I hope it helps in getting your 3.2 btc returned. Public shame can do wonders. In centuries past the shame of being in the stocks in the public square where your fellow citizens would throw rotten fruit and other such horrible things at you was an effective deterrent to crime or just bad behavior. Are you saying I should feel shamed for admitting I sent a few grand into a black hole? Feel like a dumb ass? Yes Shamed? Absolutely not. I guess I don't possess that high a level of narcissism. |

I'm trying to figure out if this is an old Instawallet( or Paymium) address 15KUecgaW2x4tDwRWfpnMJxq4RRJ5Z7fQN I sent 3.2btc into it like a dumbass a few days ago copying the first wallet that came up in my client when I clicked the "addresses" tab instead of the "receive" tab. Turns out it was an address I sent coins in and out of back in 2011. Now I'm trying to figure it out to get them back. I am in touch with Boussac who is looking into it. Someone has access to the wallet since the coins have been swept into another wallet. A very active wallet at that. You guys have a take on what it could be? You can look here for more info https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=448918.0, but I'm not sure being in the Beginner's category would yield someone capable of doing a deep analysis of the blockchain. Of course there's a nice bounty for successful recovery. Thank you They are gone, hopefully a lesson which is worth more than 3.2BTC has been learned. Stop for 10 seconds and review everything before you broadcast a transaction. Cant believe I've been dealing with crypto since 2011 and still can make a dumb mistake like that. |

One person will be very happy today. You can say that again! Didnt they return it?! Definitely did not. I'm about to send more tiny transactions there not only showing 0.0000911 in there but also make a message. I just sent 3.2btc to an address that I have no idea who or what it belongs to like an idiot. I am hurting right now man you wont believe. I clicked the "addresses" tab in the bitcoin client and copied the first one in the list thinking those were my receive addresses. Turns out by looking at the blockchain, it was an address I sent two 1btc transactions to all the way back in 2011.
Seems like the only other transactions that took place at that address is 2 transfers out, shortly after receiving on the same day on 8-22-2011, with the exception of the 3.2 hitting today =(
I'm so screwed man. That's more than $2,500. I feel like crying.
Ouch! That was too bad! Try to search who owns the address. I'm doing my best but could use some help. All the numbers start dancing on the screen, then I start thinking about the money I lost, then I realize I should be working, not on bitcointalk, lol |

I need someone good at studying the block chain to help me identify anything relevant that can help me recover the 3.2btc I accidentally sent to this wallet 15KUecgaW2x4tDwRWfpnMJxq4RRJ5Z7fQN, thinking it was one of my receiving wallets. Turns out it was an address I sent funds to way the hell back in 2011. I'm a moron, I know. Well, I'm hoping someone with more experience can take a more technical view of the chain and turn up for information than I can interpret. The lucky person realized the gain (money from heaven) since they already swept the funds into an account that's very active with over 30btc in it. Looks like a business account. If it is, maybe I have a chance to get funds back. As long as we can figure out what business. Since I haven't sent funds into this wallet since 2011, it took a lot of thought to try and think what it could be and it hit me. It's probably an instawallet (Paymium) address. Believe it or not, I reached out to Boussac and he said he was looking into it and would get back to me. The funds were moved thereafter so I am certainly hoping for good news. I would certainly offer some of the lost funds as bounty if we can get them back. I would of course offer a nice tip from the direct source for doing the right thing. See this thread for more info... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=448918.0Thank you |

By the way guys, the Instawallet possibility is not dead yet. I'm being patient and waiting for him to reach me back. Of course I'm nervous and don't like the fact the funds moved but all I can do is wait.
I know this is in the beginner's & help category. Are any of you guys familiar with that service? Please share this.

Interesting stuff studying the blockchain. 3 days later the person who got my coins sent them from 15KUecgaW2x4tDwRWfpnMJxq4RRJ5Z7fQN (where I sent them by accident) to 1Kn9TPfJSyjjCioSNoHsdyPR5m2cUeqXke Seems like whoever got the coins, swept the coins into a very active account(business?). What do you guys make of the most recent transaction? Look how many wallets it is coming from  2 of them are labeled (splat44 & spook30) and they link to profiles here on bitcointalk. I sent them both PM's. Hopefully they can help identify where my coins went! I don't get why so many wallets are involved though. Doesn't that reinforce my feeling it's an instawallet address? Anyways, I'd like to formally reach out to you guys for help. Maybe when digging there will be more labeled wallets and maybe someone can get in touch with someone here to figure out what business it belongs to so I can kindly ask them to return the funds. Or is that a pipe dream? I would give a generous tip, very generous. For that matter, I would be extremely generous with anyone who manages to help me recover any funds. If at all possible. |
