So I ordered a playstation 4 (worth 694mbtc at that time) from purse and a buyer took the order and said that it was expected to arrive on the 13th September. The next day I received a message from kent liu (purse founder) saying that the buyer claimed there was a mistake in the transaction so Kent manually escrowed my Btc. The problem is, 696mbtc was recorded as Spent which means my initial escrowed btc was released and ANOTHER 694mbtc was put into escrow. Thus making my account double debited.
I have tried reaching out to support MULTIPLE TIMES for the past 6 days with no response (email twitter etc). I am now out about 1.4 Btc and have not received the item yet.
The user that purchased my item was ndowd. Getting anxious here and something seems fishy. Just wanna let the public know. I just cannot believe this company can still be out there when they can just ignore customers like that. Anyone can give me any ideas of what I could possibly do.

I opened a topic before this but im doing it again so that everyone can see it when they search on google for purse io. Read more about it on http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2gq7ef/purseio_released_my_btc_from_escrow_without_my/

Gotta spread the word about these scammers.

So I ordered an item from purse.io and they double debited my account for a single item (ps4). One transaction was recorded as spent where as another transaction is in escrow. Mind you this is for the same item. Moreover, I have not received my item and upon reaching out to support with multiple messages (twitter, help and email) I did not get any response. It has been 3 days and my Btc is stuck in escrow. From what I've read their support seems to be fairly responsive so I have no idea why I am not being helped. Anyone know anybody I can reach out to from purse that would be able to assist me? This is making me feel like purse has bad management and I'm on the brink of never using them again and going to brawker.com instead. Purse io is probably not as safe as I thought.

Edit: it's been 5 days now and no response. Everyone beware when using purse!

Hey guys, gotta problem here. accidentally deleted my OTP on gox while creating a new one before deleting it from the login withdrawal and security centre. Now I cant do anything. And if I logout now I wont be able to log back in. MtGox support desk is not working. Anyone experience similar issues?

Hi guys, was just wondering what the safest wallet would be for windows other that the original bitcoin client(takes to long to sync) that wouldn't need me to have my computer on 24/7. Is multibit safe enough?
