Keyur Mithawala of CampBX appears to have stolen bitcoin we purchased from him in 2013.  Guess I wasn't paranoid enough-- the balance is correct, but customer service doesn't exist and we can't transfer anything.

1. Is this the right forum to talk about this?
2. Is there any class action suit or law enforcement action we can participate in?

Thanks for your help.  I'll be more paranoid next time...

No response to ticket for months.

I see my account has been closed and i have no idea why they did that since my behavior has always been good with them in the past months. I had a liquidity provider bot running on their exchange and more then 25K $ deposited. I just found out other people had serious issues with them in the past so this looks very fishy and i seriously think they're running a scheme over there.

I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU TO NOT DEPOSIT FUNDS ON CAMPBX UNTIL THEY GIVE US SOME EXPLANATIONS.

I contacted their support and will update as soon as they answer me.

From the whois database for "campbx.com":


Would anyone like to call long-distance to Panama?

Has CampBX failed

I requested a withdrawal 9 days ago and nothing.
I submitted a support ticket and nothing.
I called and no answer.
I emailed support@campbx.com and it bounced.

I sent a USPS MO to CampBX the beginning of August and it was recieved on the 9th.  I wrote a ticket on the 11th and posted on their Facebook on the 16th.  On my FaceBook post they promised it would be address but it's been 12 days and no response.  It was a couple of hundred dollars but it my money.  It there any recourse or am I screwed?

There's several of us on this forum that have also been waiting for weeks. I'm thinking of mailing them a letter, that's the only other way to contact them besides emailing. Are they on these message boards regularly?

What about my 20 coins that vanished when sending them on 8-19 to a newly generated address?How hard can it it be to confirm this?All of 30 seconds ? My 4 day old ticket  # is LTS-383-26038.

Just so everyone knows this is the PM I sent to "Keyur @ Campbx":


Again just so you folks know I'm not wanting to pursue ANY legal action but, I have business to run and I'm NOT in this to have people RUN with my Identification details OR MY MONEY.

At least something has happened for you.  Being a business man and one who follows things to the letter I've had a not-so different experience that is currently on-going.  I don't want to take this to a legal level however since I am running a business and the funds, not to mention my personal information plus the time invested all have a direct relation to keeping my operation running.  With that being said I don't typically have the "luxury" of someone doing something when they basically feel like it (ignoring you and not responding to you when they have your money is highly unethical and extremely unprofessional).  Maybe you made a mistake, sure but, ignoring you a paying customer?  That makes no sense.  Also don't think I'm being critical without offering assistance.  I have offered Campbx assistance and they ignored me (as they did all other emails that were about doing what they claim per their own statements).

I like you probably thought they were legit and doing the right thing in a timely, professional manner.  Sadly they are not and I'm seeing MANY folks on here have tried to be patient with them (it's very difficult to be patient when someone is playing "games" with your hard earned money) so it's with a heavy heart I had to write my last post and my final post on the matter before (not without proper response although plenty of time has been given already, from Campbx).  Please read/follow the events here as they unfold -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=278973.0

Finally I have my bitcoins.  This morning when I checked my account the deposit finally showed up.  Thanks Keyur.  Now I can breathe a sigh of relief.  Since they changed to the new system everything has been running very smoothly.  My only complaint has been the missing deposit which has now been taken care of.

Enough to make you reconsider the expiring addresses idea?

Or does having the expiring addresses help your operations somehow?  I'm not trying to be a d***, I'm just curious why you made the switch.  Seems like Mtgox has been operating fine allowing old addresses to be re-used.

I have been ignored since the 24th of July.  I got in touch with Keyur, the owner here on the day my deposit didn't show up.  He said I would get my bitcoins the next afternoon.  Then I got three e-mails on the 24th all saying I would have my money in 1-2 days.  Since then I can get no response of any kind.  I have sent several e-mails and another ticket.  I get the automatic, we got your submission and then never hear anything else.  This has really hurt my situation financially as I had already made commitments for that money.  It has worked fine every time I have used the service since then.  I   kept using the service but at this point I am looking around for another one.  It is totally unacceptable that they are keeping my 4.1+ bitcoin deposit.  The owner and support have both said I would get my bitcoin in a day or two and we are now at almost three weeks.  Monday will make three weeks.  That is Monday the 12th of August.  This is wrong.  All they have to do is check the transaction, go to the address and move my bitcoins to my account.  This all happened before they put up the notice that bitcoin addresses would age out.  In fact, that notice got put up the day after I talked to Keyur on this forum about this.  I guess Monday I try to call every phone number I can find and see if I can actually get in touch with anyone since they won't respond to e-mails or support tickets.  This has been really frustrating.  I have been a good customer of CampBX but that may be changing soon.  I can't see continuing to do business with someone who will occasionally take a bit of your money.  That may be a little harsh but they need to resolve my problem or it certainly looks that way to me.

If Keyur is monitoring this thread I would like to mention a problem that has come up.  I have been using the service for a few weeks and have been liking it.  The problem is that the bitcoin deposits are taking longer and longer.  I have been using the same address since I started.  Originally, a few minutes after sending the bitcoins it would show as a pending deposit and then within an hour or so it would be confirmed.  Then it started taking longer and longer.  It started taking an hour or more to show up and then a few hours to get the six confirmations.  Then today I sent a deposit at 11:30 EST and now at 5:15 EST it still is not even showing as pending.  What is going on?  I have sent an e-mail, submitted a support ticket and tried every number I could find to call.  I am disabled and my bitcoins are my only income so this is very important to me.  It says the turn around for tickets is three days and that is an awful long time for me.  I would really like to know what happened to my bitcoins and why they are not showing.  I sent to the same address I have been sending to and nothing has shown.  If they were going to quit using an address they should let the customers using that address know that fact.  I don't think that is what happened but something is going on.  I would appreciate it if someone from campbx could resolve this for me.  I have the same name there as I do here, pirate1.  You have my e-mail address on file under pirate1 or can message me here.

I got a question about CampBX downtime... If I have an order set before the website is inoperable, will any pending orders be filled anyway? Thanks!

so you mean to say people will money by using your site?  what if there's panic selling on steroids tomorrow and btc is down to 10???  you think that's ok?

people think where you deposit your hard earned money.

That doesn't make any sense at all. The performance of your trade engine should have nothing to do with bitcoind, because there's no reason that internal database adjustment to customer balances have anything whatsoever to do with the blockchain, and even if it did that doesn't explain why every action on the website is sluggish even on the best days.
