bitln.co anyone used the service?

[padrino]

Came across bitln.co when browsing for Bitcoin exchangers, look to use Paypal however requires sending as a gift. I understand the reasoning but doesn't seem sustainable since Paypal should flag the service before long. Anyone use them?

You may give it a try for a small amount but I recommend to stay away.

I just registered with this bitcointalk because I bought some bitcoins at that site $100 worth and the company won't reply or give me the coins since purchase Feb 28. And the transaction says From Non-US Unverified. But on the site it has a US address.
Watch out!

Sorry I made a mistake with the site name see my other post below. it was Bitin.co that was the scam.

Its been a week with no communication. I should have cancelled the payment when I had the chance :-(
The minimum is $50 (notice where my "$" is also). I sent $53, so there goes the minimum theory.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SITE

^^I sent to a Non-US but verified on THE DAY of me sending the payment. I had a chance to cancel the payment, sigh.

Use this site to check for Paypal verified status:

I have to issue an apology also. I to, made the same mistake.
Stay Away from:BitIn.Co
Bitin.Io Is a legit site.
Sorry for the confusion. (I'm sure they named their site as such to cause it)

I just scam bitin.co.

It is a scam site. I buy from it and since I send money I don't receive any feebad from them. They steal the money.

It's a scam. Sent money last 25 April, the money was accepted last 27 April, the page still indicates "Waiting payment".

Re Bitin.co

 

Unfortunately, this is a fake exchange. It is run form russia, so it will be virtually impossible to get your funds back.

It is already in our badlist and has been there since 11th March 2015.

I would advise that you send a complaint to your local Financial Conduct authority.

 

Some advice for now though.

Never ever use PayPal and Bitcoin together – there are so many scams that use PayPal in the bitcoin world. We warn against doing this, and we try to warn as many people as possible about these scamsites.

Please check with us before you send or invest Btc that the site is legitimate. If it isn’t already in our badlist, we will check the site for you – absolutely free of charge. It’s what we do. We are trying hard to stop these scamsites, but there are about 20-30 sites a week appearing, so we can’t take them all down, but we can add them to our directory at least.

 

Regards – ViK
