A discussion requires two parties. I have provided all the needed info to clarify what happened here. I thank Tim Fillmore for his outstanding handling of this intent of scam. I confirm the procedures to validate the ownership of the coin are just perfect and worked perfectly in this ocassion.

I consider this issue FINISHED and SOLVED.

I think it is obvious that this impostor cant provide proof of ownership nor proof of purchase because there was never a sell transaction involved.

I think it is stupid to claim that anyone bought a physical Bitcoin without having the coin physically with him. That is an obvious fact that shows the fraudster invented all this story. It would be very interesting if the impostor can provide:

1. Proof of communications with myself about his intention to buy the coin
2. Proof of payment
3. Stamps in his passport to proof he traveled as he says.

He cant provide anything because that story is totally FALSE. The only scammer here is Pichotklasa. I have proof of everything I posted. I have the emails received yesterday from him and from TITANBTC, I have videos in which he asked me to delete all the emails received from Titan BTC with the proper proof of purchase directly from the Titan Website, back in 2015. I also have a video in which he instructed me to destroy the hologram of the coin. Even more important, I have the coin with me, I think this is his weakest point... how can he justifies that he bought a physical bitcoin but he has not the coin with him... it sounds simply stupid.

The world is full of oportunistic people trying to scam honest people. Thanks God common sense and truth always win.

I hope this is enough to clarify any misunderstanding to the rest of the honest members of this forum.

I want to thank Tim Fillmore for being so helpful in the solution of this issue.

The member Pichotklasa is a fraudster. He contacted me through telegram by impersonating Titan BTC Security Staff. He then manipulated the headers of the Security Team email and sent several emails to my personal address to try to impersonate the Security Staff. At first, I agreed to follow his instructions but there were several things that seemed weird to me, like contact through Telegram a few minutes after my post here, and diferent headers in the emails I received from him and from Titan Bitcoin. After I provided him with some vital information about the coin, I received a couple of emails from Guardians@titanbtc.com and directly from Tim Fillmore, warning me that there was no one from TITAN contacting me through Telegram.

This member, Pichotklasa, is an impostor. He is now claiming that I sold the coin to him which is completely false. He does not have any proof of such a transaction. I have never sold any of my coins to anybody. His only proof is that he made me change the email and password of my coin in the TitanBTC site. That is all. I repeat I HAVE NEVER SOLD a coin to him.

Since TitanBTC has dealt with these kind of treats in the past, Mr. Fillmore explained that this person was trying to scam me and then, he asked me to proof that I was the REAL OWNER of the coin. I provided proof of purchase from dec 2015 and provided two videos that the impostor asked me to proceed with the coin redemption I was asking for. In those videos, the impostor asked me to delete all the emails I received from Titan and he also asked me to destroy the security hologram of the coin. I have those videos and have given them to Titan Security Staff.

With this post, I want to let it very clear that:

1. I did not sell the coin in question. I have been the Owner since the date of purchase and I have the coin physically here with me.
2. This member, Pichotklasa, attempted to steal the coin's value by impersonating Titan and now he could be trying to redeem the coin with this scam story of the sold coin, which is completely false.
3. We both, TitanBTC and myself resolved the issue to my complete satisfaction, once I provided proof of ownership, proof of purchase and proof of identity.

Thank you! Yes you are right. Counterparty risk is very important when dealing with physical bitcoins. I have made several coins by myself in my own paper wallet addresses with zero issues, and had no problem when I redeemed the PRIVATE KEY versions of the Titan Bitcoin I had. The problem is with the 2FA version which relies on them to complete the redemption.

I will follow your advice about making noise in twitter. I have about 10K subscribers in my youtube channel so I will try that too.

Thanks in advance,

Hello members

I have been a collector of Physical Bitcoins since 2014. I have already redeemed several Titan BTC coins. However I am having issues with a SILVER TITAN BTC 2013. Saddly, I have sent several emails to guardians@titanbtc.com but have not received any reply.

When I provide all the requireds fields in the redemption page, it shows an error message saying the data is invalid. I already peeled the security hologram and have the 2FA key, the coin id and I am the original buyer/owner of the coin so it is registered and associated to my email and name.

The coin in reference has a wrong balance in the blockchain, since it is a 1 BTC coin and the correspondent addresss shows a balance of 2BTC.

I think there are other titan btc owners that have faced similar problems/issues with their coins. Since The regular contact channels are not working, Im trying this forum to try to contact the Titan BTC CEO or someone who is able to help me to fix this issue.

I would appreciate all the info and insight you provide.

Sincerely,

Gerardo Mogollon
