seriously, just relax. coinbase has been getting tons of transaction and businesses these days, there's bound to be some bugs and mistakes. You can't have everything. Coinbase is still the best we got.

I tried to withdraw the money the money I had fund, but paypal reversed my transaction so the money never got deposited into my bank account.
I guess it was my fault, I should have withdrew all the money the moment it went into my paypal, but I waited until every transaction/all the items I were selling to be finished to withdraw the money. I made a request for a full withdraw, but the very next day, paypal froze my account and reversed the transaction.

Someone please help, I just found out my paypal account has been disband because I was selling miners on ebay. This is complete bs because i shipped everything and got good feedback on all my transactions! now Paypal is holding close to 6k of my money and won't release it for 180 days!!! wtf??? is there anything I can do to fight this?

Josh is calling us animals lol


Josh in his respond:

I'm sorry that you feel deceived. I have never replied to anyone on Facebook to speak of, so I don't know what you're referring to, perhaps if you can provide a link?

Please stop lying about the forum moderation. The only time posts are "cleaned" is when they are redundant, trolls or spammy. There are plenty of negative posts on the forum and anyone with any ounce of integrity would already know that and admit the fact that these forums are not censored beyond removing the most useless or trollish posts. If your post was removed it was because it held absolutely no value and did not belong on the forums. If you want your posts to remain, you have to post like an adult and not a kid throwing a tantrum, which many of your posts are. I'm sorry that you feel the BFL forums are too mature for you, but if you want to act like a child please go to Bitcointalk... that is the playground for people acting like animals, not here.

How is "Two months or more" false? It was true then and it's true now.

I have always given honest estimates of when I think we will be done, however there are so many variables and unexpected issues that crop up that they ARE JUST ESTIMATES. I can either not give estimates or give estimates, there is no other option. I can't give you exact dates because I do not KNOW exact dates, that's why they are called estimates. If you take an estimate as a hard date, that is on you and I'm sorry you feel deceived because of it. But I can do nothing more than give you an estimate, which is an estimate, not a hard date.

Apparently, BFL forum is for "matured" people

bump

Edit: these will come to me on Saturday and I will ship them out on Monday.

I tried... nothing. My lawyer won't event touch a case like this, involving bitcoins, I just want to get rid of them at this point and call this as a loss.

My order for a minirig from BFL got splitted up into 8 singles and I want to get rid of them. They should be coming in the next couple of weeks, went into production in the BFL websites. If anyone is interested in buying one of these or the whole thing, send me a message or respond. Can do either paypal and btc (discount if using btc). looking to sell around ~1500 for each of them. Serious buyer only please

Thanks guys, if anyone has an Ebay account, please go on Ebay and report him. I believe he still has a listing out there. I've been contacting ebay and reporting him but nothing. Maybe if a bunch of people do it. They'll finally listen and find something shady going on

Yea, trying my best to find that right now.

Thanks man! I'm going to do whatever it takes to get this guy, he keeps on scamming with people and he's posting as a girl on ebay to get pity.... pathetic.

Here you go, finally figured out how to link an image.

I don't know how to insert a picture... So I'm going to type out his info from an invoice for BFL that he sent me

Order # 100043348
Date 4/18/13
Ship to Albert Savoy

I found this invoice from his posting of a 25 Gh/s BFL single earlier. Apparently his real name is Albert Savoy, is there anyway we can confirm this?

Bitcoin definitely wasn't made for the average consumer. I got scammed a couple of times also and lost btc because of it. always thought of it as a live and learn lesson. That's one of the reasons my people are hesitant about bitcoin

He is also posting as a girl on Ebay to get some pity points... disgusting. People, please help us find this A!
I don't want to cause him any harm, but knowing that he's still trying to scam people as of right now pisses me off. He needs to be taken down.

I know... I messed up

Lol I think I got his attention

Dear long.tran,

I'll see you soon k?
***********************
Will be forwarded to EBay support now as a viable threat. I am a girl and I don;t think they'd like that in fact im tempted to call them and report you. Once you have viable proof other than assumptions and accusations . You can comment and make more threating messages. Until than any more messages will be charged and looked at as HARASSMENT. and I will keep this for proof as me telling you DO NOT MESSAGE ME ANYMORE.

Dear long.tran,

What is that?  You send to wrong wallet and you're upset. Sorry buddy. Think you have me confused with someone else I gave you correct wallet. Making threats via the INTERNET wont help you.

I know man... lol thinking back about it. I should have went with my Gut, dammit. Never again. I also just found a thread about him, apparently he's been scamming people before.
