[RenegadeMan]

Here's some press coverage from the last 24 hours. The situation's looking worse and worse each day.

I suggest you report Igot to ACORN (http://www.acorn.gov.au/). Also, do make noise on their facebook and twitter accounts, as well as voice out your experience on Reddit.

another one bytes the dust! this is what gives a bad name to cryptos... we seriously need to have a thread listing all the scammers.

Lucky I checked here first before sending them $2000 via bank transfer to buy some more BTC. I actually checked google and ended up here when I noticed that the bPay option was gone from the deposits section only directly to a bank account.

I had a small leftover balance of 0.39 BTC which I have organised withdrawal for. I've received the confirmation email that it is pending , so I'll keep you posted if it does/doesn't show up in my wallet.

Here's a quick transcript...

me.. "Previously I used BPay to deposit some cash. I can't see that in my options. Can you look into this for me please? "

igot.. “Thank you for your email. We do not support BPAY option anymore. Hence you do not see it. Regards, Ash”

me.. "And Prime Focus is the correct account to send it to now?”

igot.. “ Thank you for your email. Yes that is correct. Regards, Ash"

Am glad that this post helped prevent another fraud, radicus. It's been more than 4 months and Rick Day/Igot still owes me money.

update...

It's been a week since I asked for my .39 withdrawal, still no sign.

It's funny how eager they are to get my $2000 deposit though, I get reminders emailed everyday, but have heard nothing about with withdrawal request.

I see a lot of People making exchanges with igot.com in INDIA , Frankly i never exchanged there but recently , yesterday only someone introduced me about igot over hangout , i was on mobile so i opened the site it looked pretty professional , after reading this post i am shocked and happy that i never joined that site.
The site template is pretty much like Cloudthink.io , a failure scam !!

It was working fine earlier this year, I bought/exchanged about $1000 worth, and left a few satoshi's in there to exchange later when the price had risen. I should have pulled out sooner.

I'll contact support again, but I'm not holding my breath.

DON'T trade with Igot! The site is a scam and you'll not get your money back.

[mobnepal]

Oh my god trading site is also turning into scam? I am also thinking of doing some trading but after seeing this i will not trade in just immersed sites.

[everaja]

I don't think this igot site made any announcement thread here on bitcointalk , then how people got to know about them ,
@ OP when you withdrew some Rupees in Thousand and they did not processed then why did you made a another Trade worth 90+ k ??

I traded in USD, not rupees. I traded small amounts with Igot first to verify that withdrawals were possible. These withdrawals were eventually refunded to me. However, once I traded larger amounts and tried to withdraw my funds, the money stopped arriving. It's a confidence scam.

Don't worry. Money is safe. Be patient

That's all you have? What a joke.

"Dear Customer,

Thank you for your email.

We are aware that the bitcoin sent to your address has not yet arrived. Unfortunately we experienced a network error that resulted in -1 confirmations.

It was rejected by the blockchain, but the bitcoin were taken from the wallet. Our developers are testing a fix for that right now.

It should be completed soon.

Please do not worry, it will be resolved very soon.

Regards,

Julie"

I like their definition of soon :-)

[themerkle]

stop using them! We have been trying to get the word out. They are either insolvent or incompliant.
