1  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: vdragon Erupter-Groupbuy-Scam : Task Force on: July 26, 2013, 07:19:37 PM
I have been googling and contacting some of the owners of the outputs in the blockchain and they confirm that the transactions relate to bitcoins they bought on bitstamp. Getting the info from bitstamp should not be too much of an issue as they are a UK registered company therefore they have to follow the proceeds of crime act and money laundering regulations.

Does anyone from the group buy live in London and would be happy to contact the Mets E-Crime unit?

Can someone contact bitstamp by every means they can ASAP and get them to freeze his account as he may not have withdrawn the funds yet.


This is the address we need to be looking at: https://blockchain.info/address/1CSPFR5CrkcxHmNG9yra3rL2BW6BHttJHL

This address is his bitstamp address https://blockchain.info/address/1meLbV7TMMSpWrW9Nw6QUAbf9XJRztXL8 all the outputs are our coins being sold (i contacted the outputs owners).

green, you should contact them direct yourself asap - https://online.met.police.uk/

I'm part of the group buy and based in London. Let me know if I can help after you've contacted them eg if they need a London based address to register the complaint with.

Did I get in on time? I sent you a PM plus verification but looks like you haven't updated the OP yet?

Ignore me. I hadn't checked my PMs. Thanks!

I don't really understand MtGox. It's the biggest exchange so it gets targeted by the regulators the most, hence they would the most strict rules in place about actually using it?Huh

I went through all the hoops to pass their anti money laundering regs, and once I'd finally done that discovered that the only way I could buy BTC through them was to lodge money in a Japanese bank account??? And it looks like it will cost by £40 (I'm in the UK) to do that from my bank.

Surely there must be an easier way to buy BTC in the UK?

First post after several days lurking anonymously  Smiley

Took me the best part of a day figuring out how to buy bitcoins with fiat in the UK with all the usual channels shut down, but I persevered and am now the proud owner of a small stash. Something to redirect my gold holdings into!
