I have seen all the screenshots, it seems you are true.

How much money did u put into it?

P.S. The withdraws u made before, did they work?

[ldelpozo]

Hi,

The amount pending is 45,958.02 €.
The first withdrawals last about a week to be done.
I was trusting in the good working of this trading company and I was making more and more deals.
I was very innocent(stupid).
If you search on some forums like this you can find more scammed peaple.

I have a friend that I refered to this page that is waiting for more than 10k € too, and some BTC withdrawals are blocked too.

I read this new today:
http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-exchange-igot-challenges-scam-allegations/

The excuse Rick Day is telling about bank restiction due a fraudulent user was told us 2.5 months ago, and about a month they told this was fixed and than the transactions will be normal very soon. Now I read Rick Day's words and I know he lied a month ago.

[odolvlobo]

Also, we do need some 200 bitcoin.
If you have it and can deposit it, I am willing to offer EUR 5 per coin.

This has to be done within 24 hours through.

Wow. That message reeks of scam. They are unable to send you your money and they want you to deposit bitcoins, and quickly?

I would convert the money they owe you and buy bitcoins and get out of there quickly if you can.

[Panadacoin]

Thank you for the warning. I will never sign up to this exchange. I really hope you recover your losses, that is a lot of money.

Surely, LEOs have him on a leash so that he doesn't make a run for it, right?

Hi,
They pay this kind of offert to me about 3 times.
Until the moment they stop paying anything.

HI,

Just yesterday(when I iniciated this post, with no support answer from igot team for 29 days),  they send me that emails.

http://m.imgur.com/U3mGSvj

As you can read, they talk about bank problems, but never explain why my friend has his BTC waiting for withdrawal too. I can beleve that BTC transfer would be blocked by any bank.

I hope they pay us and we could tell that this company is not a scam. But for the moment, waiting, waiting.... sitting on the dock of the bay......

I will inform you about any update.


UPDATE - 2015-08-13
Igot promised and lie again as you can see in this images, they told me to give me back my money between 5th August to 10th August.
Today 13th August I'm still waiting for this promise, and again they told me about bank restictions and promising money releases very soon(more than 3 moths waiting until now).

https://i.imgur.com/CGmnNAK.jpg

If bank restrictions would be the problem, they would give me back my money by BTC transaction, but this scammers lie again becouse my friends are waiting for BTC withdrawals since May too.
They are liers, don't trust them. I will demand this scammers.
My patience is over.


Thank you for your support.

[R.Estacio]

Hello. I am another affected by Igot.

In my case they owe me the amount 10200 euros since May 10. They have made the transaction to the intermediary bank but has not come to my account. I'm not provide graphic evidence, because I do not want to show my bank account details or personal data.

But I can show evidence of delay in the withdrawal of almost 10 BTC, which I'm waiting since June 18.

http://imgur.com/IWnxfBA

They say there is no problem with the withdrawal of bitcoin, but that is absolutely a lie.

Nor have they responded to me anything since June 12

"Why no withdrawal payments?"
"Because of bank. Please me patient."
Why no bitcoins withdrawal payments?"
"Because of bank. Why you no trust us?"

There was this thread about igot and you could've just respond there. I believe that the OP of the first thread have around $16,000 in pending with igot. You could have done your homework first before entrusting them with your money.

Hi,

Mybe I sould have done my homework first, of course you are rigth. That's not help, but your are rigth.
But I wrote this post to talk about my stupid entrusting about igot to help another people in the same problem and to aware future traders that would do the same stupid thing i have done.

For a scammed like me is no easy and funny to talk about my wrong decisions, but it is necessary to get public.

Thank you for your opinion.

Hi

This is my first post and I am also a victim of Igot.  I have over Aus $10,000 with Igot bitcoins that they will not transfer.  It is driving my crazy.  I got made redundant and cannot afford to lose my savings as well. 

The fact that they are still accepting incoming tfrs and $ is even worse.  I too feel very stupid as I took a recommendation off a friend that igot were legit.

Very expensive lesson to learn.  These guys need shutting down as there must be hundreds if not thousands of victims out there. 

Say they have 2500 clients (thats just the number of likes on their fb page) say they hold an average of 5 coins each = AUS $5million.  It is sickening.

If anyone is pursuing this legally or have had any success getting their funds out recently I would like to hear from them

[Xandrah]

It amazes me how many people fall for these new companys that just POP up with too good to be true offers. I don't advise using this exchange, go for VIRWOX or Cryptsy.

Hi Idelpozo,

I'm sorry to read about your experience. That's a lot of money you're owed. I'm in the same situation and have been owed USD16K for almost 100 days now:

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS EXCHANGE AS YOU WILL MOST LIKELY NEVER SEE YOUR FUNDS AGAIN.

If you're already embroiled in the web of broken promises and lies that characterises everything Rick Day does, contact the relevant authorities and lodge formal reports about what money you're owed.

That is not a serious expose at all. It's nice to get some coverage, but they took the claim that it is a temporarily, new problem at face value when there have been people saying they can't get their coins or cash for like a year.

Okay maybe "serious" is the wrong term. I'm attempting to convey that it's coverage focused directly on the problem the many iGot customers are facing, as opposed to a general overview of Bitcoin exchange problems where iGot's simply mentioned in amongst the dozens of other failures that have occurred. I don't think they took the claims 'Rick Day' makes of it being a temporary issue at face value. The reporter did push him reasonably hard on the phone call, but there are limits on what a media organisation can do. I think it will take everyone affected to really ramp up their reporting of inabilities to get their money back to the various authorities that will bring greater awareness.

It's amazing (to me) that there are people that would send bitcoin (or even fiat for goodness sake) to an exchange with out doing a basic check of Bitcointalk or Reddit first to see what others' experiences are. However there are many naive people out there unaware that crypto is (mostly) still unregulated. And it's these new people that are still being trapped in Rick Day's web and that's a travesty for these people, Bitcoin and crypto in general.

He's clearly a very dishonest and shady operator and if you're reading this 'Rick' you're damaging this industry and causing untold grief for many people that put their trust in you. Come clean and fix the mess you've created.

I'd say that as soon as his ASIC chips are delivered, he'll be able to sell them and return most the moneys borrowed from the exchange minus what he'll report hacked 18 months from now à la Cryptsy via an "Oopsie!" blog post.
