Dont use that service.

Use services like

Coinbase, Kraken, Bitstamp, Xapo, Circle, Itbit

and you are fine.

Haven't heard of that service yet, but it seems that they scammed too many users now as of this moment. There are also hints from the previous users that they are a ponzi scheme because of the progressively delayed withdrawals.

16k of funding is some serious damage work.

It sucks to see events like this happen. But then again if services like coinbase is already out there and known that person could of avoided a tragic event like this one.

Most of this events happened because people think that they could get better prices off at exchanges that aren't widely known, when in reality they will end up losing more. It's better to pay some fees than to get screwed up in the end. Too bad for the man, he received a very, very big loss.

Those pictures reminds me of how "user friendly" they try to be.. but in the end the picture really stands for laughing at the suckers who they scammed.

Its a shame though almost every new btc service ends up being a scam, and hard to see which ones are legit. I mean they could of started small and grow eventually instead of scamming 16k..

It makes me sad for the ones who got scammed.   Yes they should have researched and not trusted new service.   But still not really a good laugh.

Everyone should stick with exchanges they know.    It's really based on your country on which one works good for you.   But go with a good one that has a very long history with lots of good feedback.

Agreed, just like what the LitecoinGuy pointed out, people should've stayed on using already established services. Paying extra fees for a smooth and safe transaction is better than losing all in the end.
