Allright let's all just chill for a minute, everyone's pissed because we lost money but we have a direct contact with someone inside the payment processor with possibly precious information, so they're not the right guy to yell on right now !!
Could CoinGate confirm the account Minestock.com has subscribed to (trader, starter etc.) withoud disclosing name or any other info or is this not legal?
Does CoinGate have the identity of the person or was it not verified because he didn't open an account requiring it?
Simple yes or no please.
Cheers,
Q.
We can confirm that the account used by Minestock.com had verification level 0 (Starter account), meaning they were not verified and did not supply any identifying information. This is because they used only our software solution for processing Bitcoin payments, and verification is required only if a business wants to convert the received bitcoins to EUR or USD. Please see this screenshot for more information about different account verification levels and their requirements on CoinGate:
https://i.imgur.com/6xl3d2X.pngThe only identifying information we have about Minestock.org account (or any Starter account) is email address and IP address used to register that account, IP address(es) used to login to that account and IP address(es) of the server from which we received incoming API requests. We will share this information with law enforcement if we receive an official request for it, but we can not post this information publicly or share it without an official request from a law enforcement agency.
Thanks a lot for making that clear, it sounds like we're boned then...
Let that be a lesson to all of us, even if some member that got scammed were not young,
resist human nature and don't buy if it sounds too good to be true and allways use escrow, fuck's sake!!
I personnally won't go any further, if some are willing to go see the cops and all I can provide my txid and a few I recieved from forum members (if they consent) if you need to build a case and all but if your justice is as slow and useless as ours you'll simply be loosing more time and money...
The most enfuriating thing about this scam is that it was sooo obvious, ATX PSUs for 19usd, s9s "barely used" and cheaper than the new ones, GPUs with strange prices, flat rate shipping no matter if you buy 1 or 30 GPUs and the list goes on, fuck !
Have a nice day anyways (or whatever it's like in your timezone), don't hesitate to PM me for the txids
