anyone knows cointopal.com?

[hublik]

I used it before and it was fine, last time I sent money and never received?
I sent ticket, but never got the reply
Do you know who is the owner?
how to contact?

[steven0021]

No I don't know cointopal.com before you mentioned it. But I know the owner is suspected to be the infamous serial scammer moriartybitcoin. See their announcement thread. Your money is probably gone.

I guess you didn't make a simple check for scam accusations/issues before using the site again?
Especially if a while has passed since you last used it?

There's an accusation on their thread, July 2016.
A simple quick google search turned up a  "Ripoff Report":
September 2016:

The website offers the opportunity to sell bitcoins for PayPal.  I got on their website and looked it over and everything looked legit.  I was in a little financial crisis so decided to sell some bitcoins that I had.  The transaction was complete and I was able to check the status of it.  On September 2nd my transaction was approved but no money was ever transfered.  I have submitted three help tickets now and there has been no response.  Stay away from this website!!

There's another one for October or 'nearly'. The guy sent a sort of 'plea letter' to cointopal to not scam him.
He says it worked for him. Maybe you could also try that. Who knows.  But your coins are most likely gone.

After i hastly made the transaction i got a afterthought about what i had just done!  i had sent nearly 1 BTC through this website which i didnt look at sucupilously for any reviews or signs of scams (as i usually do)...my heart felt heavy and after i saw the ripoff report i was even more worried about what i had just done! Given around nearly 600 USD to somone ..a complete stranger!
i honestly was feeling sick by now at the thought of how stupid i fell for something like that.  I wrote a support letter (a plea in my case for the guy not to scam me) and waited...at that stage it was the only thing i could have done tbh.     I slept onit and woke up a few hours later and eagerly refreshed my transaction ...(you need to keep the transaction window open as there seems to be no way on the site to enter a transaction number)..it said 'approved' after being in pending for more than 6 hours.. i then checked my paypal and lo & behold it was there! ...Halleluyah!

Huh. I see. Well then, makes me wonder why you proceeded to use it and actually send money there despite knowing that owner is the alt of a known scammer?

Anyway, no luck coz the owner hasn't been active here since October last year. He's probably using new alts.
Maybe try sending him 'plea letters' like the other guy from the ripoff report. (He did get his money after that letter. Might work, who knows.)  dr.michael.moriarty@yandex.com

I own CointoPal.com

EMAIL ME dr.michael.moriarty@yandex.com if you had any trouble with it.

Specifically I would need DATE, AMOUNT BTC SENT, BTC ADDRESS SENT TO, PAYPAL ADDRESS

It is not a scam.  If you didn't receive Paypal, it was just a bug, and you would be reimbursed.

[chriscold]

I had a problem whereas the transaction didn't show up in paypal after 3 days ... I contacted Michael Moriarty and he answered me within an hour I had my money in my paypal account ... some glitch in software on website ... i was impressed to say the least .. firstly that someone had actually replied to my email and secondly at how quickly it was resolved ...

What is this site? I never heard of it before.
If it is a bitcoin for paypal exchange site then it is a scam.
They all go scam eventually. Just look what is happening on ecoin wirex site.

It's a website that offers to exchange bitcoin to paypal for a fee.  The gatekeeper who manages the transactions is engaging in selective scamming.  And coinbase changes bitcoin to paypal if you have an account. 

I doubt I will receive a response or my bitcoin, so my search for the elusive Dr. Moriarty continues.  There's also rewards being offered for his whereabouts.  He is eventually going to become a very valuable target to a very clever investigator.

For now because of heavy users of bitcoin right now and nearly christmass many people are trying to scam some here in online and to earn instant money from others.. if that site is new better to stay away because there is higher chance that you will be scam..
It is better to go in legit and well known site than using their service that you did not know if they are legit or not.
