Message me if you have an option. Thank you.
All the precautions and security measures as you prefer.
You can try the UAE's bitOasis exchange. Their rates are more reasonable than offers on Localbitcoins and you can pay either by bank transfer or by credit card. https://bitoasis.net/en/Wait.. did I just read that correctly? 4000 BTC and not 4000 USD? Forget Localbitcoins then. That's like 56 million dirhams. Nearly 15 million USD cash. You can't be serious. I would definitely recommend sourcing the coins from an exchange... unless you want to move those 56m AED without using banking channels (for whatever reason and I won't even ask or probe further). |

Still a month to go loads of time for the op to do what he needs and get out before the switch over.
I did notice that they were going to be changing this and they are also going to offer contactless cards which I am very keen to get my hands on and as far as I am aware it is a first in the bitcoin world for contactless to be offered.
I already have the new card. It's a nice black contactless (with that MasterCard Paywave icon) chipped card. It is issued by a UK finance company. It also has MasterCard's 2016 logo, two overlapping yellow and red circles. Looks a bit strange but in a nice way. The MasterCard logo on the card looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/BqyHbvW.jpgWith C.Pay on it. The nice bit is the limit. $5k USD per day. And $5k USD per withdrawal event. Amazing. By the way, mine is from Cryptopay. I'm assuming Wirex will be using the same card issuer. -- Disclaimer: the above link neither depicts nor represents my image. I do not own this image.

Do you know, how the debitcards will be activated. Via SMS or Email? This question is belonged to unverified account.
The debit cards are activated within the Cryptopay account (or their app). It's easy and fast. Simply input the last four numbers of the card and activation is complete. Simple and quick. I received my new Cryptopay card and activated it. It's a black EMV-chipped and contactless (MasterCard PayWave) type of prepaid card. Looks really nice. It has the currency (USD) embossed directly below my name. The even nicer part is having this card with a withdrawal limit of USD 2k per day coupled with the MyChoice visa card which is still valid until 15 October 2017. The visa card has a separate USD 2k limit. So I could actually withdraw up to USD 4k between now and October 15th. The limits are separate and not shared. I ordered a virtual card and it is has been pending for quite some time now. Will wait but in the meantime I'm happy with this new plastic card. |

Lesson: Always check and confirm escrow instructions with the escrow provider directly. Never rely on copy/paste and quoted instructions provided by anyone you transact with. This generally applies to all escrow trades, not just to this particular scam accusation and I hope users here will learn from these scam attempts (luckily it didn't go beyond a mere attempt).
And that's good due diligence work there. Checking the trust and trade history and making an intelligent decision about it. Sensing something amiss or fake was a good move there.
The scammer must be unhappy to see things aren't working out in his favour. No coins and now a ruined trust rating. Not a profitable weekend for him.

WARNING! MIXER.TO HAS SCAMMED!
Heed this warning guys! This is a confirmed SCAM! Read the rest of the thread for confirmation of their thievery! -- My earlier post below (and as the rest of the thread shows, my suspicions were correct!) All these fly by night mixer projects popping up like mushrooms overnight. Probably hoping people here would send coins naively to their hot wallets. It's the perfect way to lure people to send first without requiring escrow. Well, bad news, sir (or sirs). This is your first post and your "ANN" thread is not enough to convince people to send coins without any guarantees of receiving mixed coins later. You will need to escrow a certain number of bitcoins with a reputable and established escrow provider here. A trusted middle man who will hold bitcoins in a secure suspense wallet while you build trust with users of this mixing service. This is a friendly reminder and warning for everyone to heed. Send coins at your own peril. Less than 10 BTC -> 1 confirmation More than 25 BTC -> 2 confirmation $40,000... $100,000... the amounts you are expecting people to simply send without any form of guarantee are mind boggling. Do you seriously think this brand new mixer will be trusted without any escrowed coins? |

Any exchange that accept prepaid cards and also is international. Do you guys know any?
If you are looking for a site which accepts cards as payment method and if you don't mind paying a somewhat higher price per BTC, you could try this site: https://www.buysomebitcoins.com/I bought from this site once when I urgently needed bitcoins to pay for a time-critical service so I know it works. They have a slightly better rate for verified users. KYC is required to buy up to $800 per day. For more, I think you need a history of buying a few times without charging back past payments. If you are in the United Arab Emirates or have a card from one of the UAE banks, bitOasis accepts credit cards. Here's another link with helpful information: https://www.bitcoin.com/guides/learn-how-to-buy-bitcoin-quickly-and-easily-with-a-credit-cardIf your territory or location is supported by the Simplex card processor you can buy here: https://buy.bitcoin.com/Coinbase also accepts cards but not sure what their restrictions are. |

This is painful reading. And the tumbling fluctuating prices are a painful sight to behold.
Imagine having 1000 bitcoins on your wallet. From $4800 to $3200 = $1600 x 1000 = a $1.6 million loss. For those who can't intelligently foresee a recovery, this would be a real reason for panic and even a nervous breakdown. Just imagine losing that much within a day.
It's hard to hold on to bitcoins and hoard them, while hoping for the price to one day jump to an astronomical figure. Then you get these steep dives which have an extreme effect on one's confidence and trust in the core things you believe in life. Like being resolute and stubbornly bearish in times of turmoil. Like being a strong believer in gaining by taking risks. Like trying to fight those inner fears caused by all the what-ifs flooding in one's mind when you see the rate falling right before your disbelieving eyes.
Investing in bitcoins is truly serious stuff. Like stock markets, you could lose everything you saved and worked hard for within a day.
Happy to see the market recover. A very welcome development.

It`s not a proof and No CoinsBank is not a scam.
Hurt that CoinsBank is being called a scam? Ok let me hurt you more: COINSBANK IS A SCAM! COINSBANK IS A BIG FRAUD! Have a look at the above complaints and many more which litter this forum about customers who have been shafted and defrauded by staff of this so-called wanna-be "bank"! Have a look at the miserable reviews about this Belize-based "bank" pretending to be a legitimate financial institution with brick and mortar facilities in Scotland! The site, the company and the people behind it are con artists. They introduced this exchange with great fanfare and confetti bla bla but this all turned out to be a facade for their upcoming scams! Read their facebook and twitter pages. They are littered with people complaining about "scam.. can't withdraw"! People should stop injecting funds into these scammers' hot wallets. When one holds an account with this "bank" and can't withdraw (but can easily deposit) you have a full-blown scam operating brazenly. Stop using them! Store your bitcoins elsewhere! |

Best way to do this is all of the following involved: 1) Escrow protection with the trusted middle man not necessarily present physically on in person during the transaction but available to release the bitcoins at trade time, 2) Trading at a safe location where cash can be checked and verified for authenticity, preferably a bank where funds can be deposited to the seller's account and 3) A secure place where quick escape routes don't exist or where police can arrive quickly if something sour happens during the transaction.
I want to be positive and to enjoy transacting bitcoins with other people but I also want to be realistic about crime being an ever present risk. So one should really take precautions. Both you OP and the seller. No offence meant both ways. Just a friendly reminder to stay safe at all times.

The thing about scamming is that it has become more of a profession for most here. A full time 9 to 5 job, 24/7/365 even for some.
It's what differentiates us humans from the rest of what's alive on this planet. A calculating, manipulative and envious species. We calculate to own what others own. Manipulate people in sophisticated ways to separate them from their rightful properties. And we have an envious and jealous predisposition. Unhappy to see the Jones's ahead of us by the most recent iPhone model, by a $10k higher bank balance, by better and faster cars, by fatter bitcoin wallets..
Actual hard work is bad news for some people. Nowadays easy money is everyone's secret mantra. Even the most humble and righteous and corrupt-proof man, if such a specimen exists, on this planet will break and cave when confronted by financial storms and desperation. Money makes this planet rotate on it's axis. It is undeniably the source of all most evil things happening to mankind but this is the reality of life. Everyone needs money.
There will be scammers here for as long as bitcoin holds value. When the price of bitcoin drops to a cent per coin, watch how deafeningly silent the scam accusations page of this forum will be.

If you can trace scammers, then I assume you can trace non-scammers too.
Let me try. Name me, my wife, my kids, where I live and work, what I do for a living and my phone number. If you can publicly provide this information here, I will bow and kowtow to you and tell everyone how you're my new hero.
And let me guess. This is a service you are offering for a fee. Did I guess correctly? And fees must be paid upfront? No escrow? "Scam retrieval service" discussed on Skype?
In the link you posted above and on that alt account, you mentioned you would find anyone's BTC. I'm just curious how that helps since the blockchain basically gives that information. If you were to say something along the lines of "we would find AND RETRIEVE your BTC in lieu of a fee held in escrow and paid to us after a successful retrieval" then that might be something worth hiring for.
Or did I assume too much?

This is a good GREAT! service I would advise become verified first before trying to cash that kind of money out but I am sure you could get 8k no problmes with wirex not all in one day I don't think though not sure ATM's can dish out that kind of money in a day to one account. But do get verified first to save any hassle later down the line when you hit your limit. Verified Limits are here - https://help.wirexapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001789829-Wirex-verified-account-limitsPlus your better not trying to trust members on the forum to be honest this place has taken a bad turn somewhere down the line and as far as I can see there are scammers here with high ranking account ready to rip people off at every turn. Wirex use MyChoice corporate [ https://mychoicecorporate.com/ ] For there cards which is a really big big company in the card issuing world (I did some research) So there credentails are valid and they can be trusted with you money. Send them a quick support ticket if you need more info oh any there app is fantastic easy to use to deposit. Exchange and admin your accounts and submit tickets to the support staff. I was really impressed with the app I had visions of it being buggy. slow, crashing but nope... It is very Responsive and secure and has some good features too. Enjoy your coins and the freedom that wirex can offer you with there cards. I have a virtual card and a plastic one and have never had any issues using them anywhere thought I was a bit dissapointed about the withdraw fee but hey everyones got to make a quid or two somewhere down the line. Hope this helps. You're right. Better not trying to trust members on this forum, irrespective of rank. You did your research, yes, but it seems you missed that part where Wirex and all other bitcoin card providers will discontinue MyChoice cards after Wave Crest (the issuer of MyChoice cards in Gibraltar) was acquired by Visa International. As a result of that merger and acquisition, the company will follow Visa's preference of restricting the cards to residents of the EU only. All other countries are excluded: https://mychoicecorporate.com/visa-card-issuance-list/If you already have a MyChoice card and if you are not a resident of the countries listed on the site above, the card will cease to be valid from 15 October 2017. From that day on, the card will be a mere space taker on your wallet. A souvenir item. A reminder of the good old days when they served one well. I too have this card and it works flawlessly. Loaded it with bitcoins and used it in Bangkok, Singapore, Dubai, Tokyo... |

Bought accounts are a precursor for scams. It's as simple as that. There is always a motive for and behind buying an account. You don't simply buy an account to admire it's user name or for your "account collection". There is no collector item here.
The accounts are either used to scam and steal coins or to defraud signature campaigns. Scammers know the value of a well-aged and post-rich account. It misleads the slow-thinking and naive ones into feeling an artificial sense of trust and to conclude trades in favor of the scammer.
It is unquestionably correct to award negative trust to these bought accounts. Negative or red trust has a deterrent effect since it renders the purchased account useless and kills the very motive behind purchasing it.
DTs should please continue this practice of red-branding these shady accounts.

I cant find any trusted member to exchange my bitcoin the alternative its to get one or multiple card, How many cards i can have?
Is it posible to withdraw 8000US/per day
my fund are from some domain names i sold.
Thanks for your reply
No, the limit is USD 2k per day. You could ask family members to apply for the card, fully verify their accounts and they can withdraw on your behalf. Nothing illegal or against the rules with that. However it is not possible for you to apply for multiple MyChoice cards of the same currency. And even if you apply for different currencies, the limit is shared by all cards and consolidated in one single limit of USD 2k. I'm not sure if the new contactless card allows one person to apply for several cards with independent limits per card. I doubt it. An alternative is to trade your coins on an exchange such as Bitstamp or Kraken and withdraw your money to your bank account. |

If you use Coinbase you can count on transactions being delayed, especially outbound ones. It is easier to inject funds into their system and they will take their own sweet time in processing inward funds. When it comes to any attempt to remove funds or resources from their coffers, it would be faster, figuratively and literally, to learn to fly a 747 than the time Coinbase takes to process your withdrawal. Well, that was somewhat exaggerated but the point is you cannot expect same-day or even same-week service with Coinbase. You can almost sense, feel and smell that they don't like doing withdrawals.
Bitcoin has always been about speed. The goal was and is transacting in the speed of light. But this is the idealist view. In reality, buying or selling bitcoins these days is more cumbersome and bureaucratic than a bank transfer. There are so many processes and steps involved. It's the scam factor which makes it difficult to transact quickly and painlessly.

when you people learn to stop trading btc for paypal
Why? If send as gift or ff can trading  Gift and ff is just as reversible as a non-gift transaction. Simply cry on PayPal's shoulders and whine about how the gift was a fraudulent one and you can count on it being reversed. Stop misleading the naive few here and attempting to manipulate their minds by making them think your PayPal gift payment is permanent and irreversible. Misleading someone is what a fraudster does. So by misleading people, it follows that you cannot be trusted and have zero integrity and zero credibility. Not even escrow can offer protection in the event of a reversal. When PayPal reverses, the decision is, yes, open for appeal but it is rarely successfully adjudicated in favor of the complainant. He loses his bitcoins and he loses payment for those bitcoins. Plus you have a new account. Verdict: potential scammer lurking for victims here. |

Will pay $100 up front today to anybody willing to lend me .08 BTC.
Loan amount asking: .08 BTC
Total repayment amount of loan: $350 USD by Monday, September 18, 2017 ($100 + $250 which includes interest) I feel that it's fair I pay a higher rate because somebody is willing to lend to somebody not familiar with bitcointalk.
Reason for loan: Business startup processes and fees
I will answer questions respectively and to the best of my ability. if interested, please contact me or comment!! I can go into more detail. Thank you for your time.
I am able and can definitely show good feedback/reviews with Paxful account.
1HMSXNQkp4oEqfyS2qsVrU1S6SAxssvWgR
Take care.
You will need collateral worth 0.08 x 1.2 (or greater) for this loan to be filled. Because of the enormous dives in bitcoin value recently, lenders may want the loan repaid using the equation 0.08 + interest and not a flat fiat amount of $350. I'm not sure how paying $100 upfront would be considered collateral and why you would proceed in this manner. Why then not borrow $250 instead if you have $100 at your disposal for the loan purpose you mentioned above. Reputational ranks and feedback/reviews on other sites are rarely considered collateral or guarantees here, unfortunately. |

I see. I stand corrected then and apologise in this case. It's just suspicious when a first-post new account contains an external link to a YouTube video.
One can never be too careful. Lots of people trying to make a quick buck by redirecting to YouTube videos and other sites. These countless reports of scams and rip off stories make one paranoid.
OP should use the proper scam report format stickied for scam accusations. This will make it easier to dispel any doubt about what really happened or might have happened.

I reported your post to the moderator. Posting an external link (YouTube) here which I believe is an attempt to lure people to some kind of scam. This is becoming an increasingly popular scam method. Video-based scams on YouTube where moderation is difficult and slow with the aim to keep the scam alive for as long as possible.

I got a reply from VeritasCard, confirming that outgoing SEPA transactions are in your name, meaning you can use it for crypto exchanges, etc.
They even have bitcoin as a payment option for your yearly fee, although greyed out for me for some reason...
You need to be careful when getting cards or opening accounts with fly-by-night or new card providers, especially if they promise everything which compliant and regulated companies don't allow. Some of these unheard-of card providers might be struggling with building a larger client base and will simply tell you what you want to read or hear as a lure to join. Then when you have the account active and funded, you might find that their terms and conditions do allow what they promise subject to more terms and conditions. Or you might notice a deafening silence after injecting coins and money in their system. Carefully check their terms and do extensive due diligence. Look out for reviews suggesting service inconsistencies or fraud accusations. |
