I found http://www.cashtocrypto.com via LocalBitcoins. They seemed to have a good reputation and both their LocalBitcoins profile and website promised same day delivery of bitcoins (between 8-11pm Eastern) for cash deposits at one of their banks.

Seeing their high number of successful trades on LocalBitcoins and also feeling reassured by the fact that they're based out of my long-time college town, I very stupidly decided that their reputation was good enough for me to do business with them directly rather than through LocalBitcoins.

I precisely followed their directions, and:

1. Supplied them with my wallet address

2. deposited $159 cash into their Sun Trust bank account on the morning of October 5th, in plenty of time for same day delivery

3. immediately uploaded an image of the receipt afterwards with the internal cashtocrypto.com transaction number on it, exactly as they requested for extra verification

4. checked my wallet regularlly for the BTC, which were never sent.

I use a link automatically generated when I started the transaction to check on its progress. Literally every time I check it the estimated time remaining for them to send the bitcoins increases... first a few hours, then a day, then two days, now 5 days. I sent them multiple emails asking for an explanation over the course of the past 5 days and they never responded. I also tried contacting them via LocalBitcoins.

My next stop after this is BBB Online. Any help in getting this company to respond to my emails would be greatly appreciated. Beware of these scammers!






NOTE: The original image of the receipt that I send them was more clear than this, but I've had the receipt in my pocket for a week so it got crumpled up, etc.
