1  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: BitGold.com IS COMPLETELY SCAM on: April 27, 2016, 10:26:54 AM


Here's a picture!!
Nice picture. 2.025 kg gold worth $101040.37.
http://goldprice.org/ : 1 kg gold is worth $40,042.79

Like I said before: Forgive me for not believing you Cheesy

LMAO. I'm not American!!! Um, I'm not sure what you're talking about? I took that picture at $50.52 per gram. I am Canadian, so I use CAD currency. Not sure what gold is going for USD currency. Take that $101040.37 CAD and convert it to USD. Using Google, it comes out to $80,273.60 US!

Here's a picture!! That's why I keep alternating my gold. I had to make sure I actually could get it. Like I've said before, never had an issue. If you have used Bitgold before, you know the way the website looks. I've insured my gold through intact for about $12 a month because its not in my possession, so if it does happen to disappear, I'm good. I will gladly give a 1 oz maple leaf coin to anyone that shows me that Bitgold truly stole someones money. Not a violation of terms or anything like that. True actual usage and the gold just disappeared for no reason. I have yet to experience it, maybe because I only referred my family members which all have the same last name. Aside from that, I just deposit and withdraw.

Guys common!!! Read the damn terms and conditions!!! Its written clear as day! Every single one of your complaints has violated their terms, so no wonder you accounts were suspended. Bitgold is a PUBLIC company in Toronto Canada, listed under the TSX and traded daily. Financials are public and they're constantly verified. BITGOLD is legit and I know this because I've delivered to their office. I've met many of the employees, including Melanie!
Seeing an office doesn't make a business legit. As far as I know they're no financial institution, if they were, much stricter rules would apply to them.

If you have the gold, withdraw then a charge back is issued, Bitgold is out double the money. Once on the gold, the other on the charge back.
You're double-counting. If I give you 1, you give 1 away, and I take back my 1, you're down 1, not 2.

"5.7 You agree not to send a Golden Heart invitation template to anyone with whom you do not have a personal relationship. Sending your invitation to persons who you do not have a personal relationship with will constitute spamming and may result in a suspension of your BitGold Account."
Spam to your friends is still spam.
Oh I know. I'm not arguing that, what I'm arguing is majority of the referrals came from YouTube. Thats not personal relationships. Bitgold is not a financial institution, you're right about that. Being public, does make the company legit, because all the financials are public. There are also no loopholes to hide debt like enron did, so everything is public information. About the double counting, you might have misunderstood me. I meant if you used a stolen credit card. You deposited with the card and you have one ounce in the account. You then withdraw the gold in a one ounce coin. Then the original card owner chargesback to Bitgold. Now Bitgold loses the money that was paid for the gold. So now they lost your one ounce coin, plus the money from the credit card.  That's 2. It would be different if you withdrew cash, because the gold never left their possession. I always keep 2kg in Bitgold and have picked one up from brinks in Toronto. Pretty long process for verification but easy. They required fingerprints to pickup kilo bars, just to let anyone know if you plan on it. I then resold the bar to TD for some profit! Worked out nicely.

It's not a scam.  It trades on the TSX (symbol XAU) and closed today @ $5.40CA per share.  BitGold is not an affiliate of Bitcoin.  They're not connected in any way.  
LOL, no it doesn't.

Uh, yes it does. XAU is GOLDMONEY INC which is Bitgold.

So that room in the TSX must be fake as well for the fact that their stock is a scam as well, right?

or wait, so, that video was uploaded BY TSX themselves so the stock market must be a scam as well or did the TSX just get duped by Bitgold?

Wow look at these brand new accounts created just to defend bitgold.com Roll Eyes.

These desperate attempts saying its legit actually make it look even more of a scam than it did before.

Are you retarded? Just because you see a new account, it must be Bitgold, claiming their innocence. WTF is that? I created this account, to contest the stupid remarks on here that they're a scam. I'm sorry I actually read the terms and conditions unlike everyone else on here complaining, that's why I still have an active account.

Grow up people and take accountability for your actions. YOU AGREED TO THE TERMS WHEN YOU SIGNED UP! IF YOU DONT AGREE, DONT SIGN UP!

Depositing with a card under someone else name is fraud. Regardless if they have given you approval or not. Any financial institution would reverse these transactions in a heart beat, since its possible that it could be charged back. Especially if you have been given gold. If you have the gold, withdraw then a charge back is issued, Bitgold is out double the money. Once on the gold, the other on the charge back. On top of that, they're going to be charged a fee because of it. Bitgold is protecting their ass, just like you would if you were running the company. I've used bitgold for quite a while now, depositing, withdrawing and referring without any issues.

Now for the referral program and everyone complaining that they stole your money, that's bull. Under the referral section of the terms and conditions, this is what it says!

"5.7 You agree not to send a Golden Heart invitation template to anyone with whom you do not have a personal relationship. Sending your invitation to persons who you do not have a personal relationship with will constitute spamming and may result in a suspension of your BitGold Account."

Its written there in plain English guys. You cannot refer people from YouTube or someone you met on the street. YOU HAVE TO KNOW THEM PERSONALLY!!! Plus, if you read further in the referral section, you can see that they need verification of the relationship, ie, you have them on Facebook and have history together. If they cannot find proof or you cannot provide that, they have EVERY right to take that money back. That is abuse of the referral program and is terms for suspension.

"5.6 BitGold reserves the right to disqualify a BitGold Account holder from a Golden Heart Bonus if it believes, in its absolute discretion, that you appear to be abusing the promotion or if you are otherwise in breach of this Agreement or the Terms of Service."

Please read terms and conditions before complaining or posting that they're a scam. You are hurting people that invest money into Bitgold because someone might read this, panic and withdraw at a lose. They will get the money, because I have many times and I can easily prove it.

Unfortunately, these transactions are not reversible. On top of that, looking at your ether wallet, I can see the funds were transferred constantly and finally were mixed with other coins so you loose the path of where the cryptos went. Mixing is usually done by people that want to hind their tracks and cover where the money went. Im sorry for your lose. Me personally, I used offline wallets, printed on paper. Wallet and key is provided on the paper, so there is no way anyone could touch it, unless they have access to your house. So ie, you get robbed, it can be used as well. Alot harder then going through the internet. Never store your keys on the computer.
