scam scam scam scam scam scam i lost over 500gbp and when i email them they dont respond and they banned me from there facebook page i have invested over 2kgbp most of all my money and already 500gbp has gone never to be seen again avoid unless you want to loose all your money they are a scam scam scam scam scam scam scam

The same thing has happened to me. I've been having an issue with two-factor authentication for the past two weeks, and no one has been willing to at least reply to my support requests/emails. I had a support chat function on my dashboard, so I decided to use it. As soon as I submitted a question, that support chat function mysteriously disappeared. They are holding a decent amount of my bitcoin for no reason. While I won't outright say that BTCJam is a scam, I will say that it is a very shady operation. I hate being ignored and told to "f*ck off", especially when my money is involved. It's people like these that are stifling bitcoins success around the world.

Paul -

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I actually don't have a problem accessing the account, it's just that I can't provide the verification code to make any transactions due to the unfortunate situation with my phone. Just by you responding to my post, I have been able to put my mind at a 55% ease. Thanks!

I have had a similar issue with using BTCJAM, except it is with the two-factor authentication. I had two-factor authentication set up, but for some reason my authenticator on my phone lost its entries because my phone was rebooted (I believe it had crashed or something). Not being able to provide a "verification code" will not allow me to make any transactions. I have had this set up with other services, and was successfully able to fix the problem through a little chat with customer service. BTCJam has yet to respond to any of my questions or concerns, and I am getting a little frustrated.

In regards to the original post, I would be interested in hiring a dev to help me with this problem. I am not your "techie" dude, but I believe there is an option to create an API application?

This is where I am with BTCJam, and I will notify the community if anything changes.

Since you are the CEO, I have a question I would like to ask:

Do you have a support team?

I ask this because as of late, I have encountered a technical issue on the BTCJAM platform, and have been unable to access by bitcoins. I have send numerous emails to your posted contact address, but have yet to hear back from anyone. I think this is very shady and wrong. As someone who works in the financial field, I can tell you that what your team is doing warrants prosecution by the SEC and is a very big risk to be taking. I understand the "hands-off" approach your team has with overall business management, but you should not be so nonchalant when it comes to such a risk business such as money (bitcoin) lending.


CEO of BTCJam here.

I’d like to address the claims made by Avastar1:
1- We are not a scam. We are a legitimate business that started out in Brazil, hence the Ovo Comsico LTDA. We recently moved to San Francisco and raised money from various Investors, including Ribbit Capital who also backed Coinbase and Xapo.

2- I am the inventor of the patent mentioned, and here is the link to patent that includes my name. The LinkedIn profile posted is the one of my father, who carries the same name as me (I am officially Celso Cardoso Pitta Jr.)

Avastar1 is mad at BTCJam because we blacklisted his account after he started harassing other users, which is against our Terms of Service. We haven’t taken any Bitcoin from him, we’ve simply closed his account. For about 3 days, he was not able withdraw his coins and is now trying to claim that we are a scam.

3- While we’ve had a few scammers in the past, our credit scoring algorithm has improved a lot and our repayment rate for the last 4 months is over 90%. More importantly, investors are averaging 19% year over year returns, further proving that the core of our credit scoring algorithm works. Just be sure to invest in A and B loans, diversify well enough, and you will make good returns.
Here are some tips on how to do that: http://blog.btcjam.com/post/75934926878/the-3-rules-of-peer-to-peer-lending-for-investors
