SCAM - Coinabul owe me 81btc

[shiftybugger]

Until there's a myriad of unhappy customers of Coinabul, there's probably no reason to further concern ourselves about them, but vigilant eyes remain on them, as well as on a host of other entities, thus keeping the systems of things in check.

I'll personally reserve the right to retain my concern until I actually receive a replacement...

Wonder if OP will ever do the right thing :/

OP, as in me?

What I meant was I wonder if Con-A-Bull will do the right thing and send you the silver. I kinda doubt they will.

Well, as they say, it's not over until the fat lady sings. And she hasn't uttered so much as a word since the last big post.

I'll be sure to post on the thread if I hear a song.

Do you reside outside the United States?

Yep.

Yep.

Get your silver or a refund yet? Or any in writing confirmation that they will send you a refund or silver?

Nope. Haven't heard from them at all. Nothing since the post at the top of page 10. I sent them a PM nearly a week ago, but no response to that either.

wow

So is this still not resolved?

[bitcool]

but according to Jon:

... Jay has now resolved both issues that gained notoriety on the forums and this subreddit, ...

cmon guys not worth fighting over this. Just try to put any emotions aside and talk and resolve it. Customer is always right, no matter how harassing or annoying or posting stuff on forums he might (or might not) be. It is so much easier to do the right thing for customer and move on than fighting it (rightly or wrongly).

Wait so the guy named 'Coinabul' was just an employee and not the owner of the company?  I hope the site moderators let him change his name....

[malevolent]

Isn't the owner of Coinabul aware of what threads like these mean to his business? Negative opinions spread a lot faster than positive ones. It is difficult to acquire trust and respect and so easy to lose it. Or maybe he only relies on a select few customers who are regular buyers and doesn't need to worry about the rest of the customers?

Jay has control of account it seems. (or atleast now he does)

Programmers rarely have customer service skills.

I put a Coinabul order in on Wednesday which was supposed to have "Next Day Express" shipping. The order is still showing as "processing."

I spoke with and got an email from Jay on Thursday saying it should be shipped by Monday. It's late Tuesday now, my order still says "processing," and I have heard nothing new. Just left a message on his phone.

I know things may be shaken up because the one guy quit, but customers should at least be kept updated.

Edit: Just got a call, was told I should have a tracking number within 24 hours. . .

no... that's just how they are...

you ask if they have an item in stock.. they say yes... and you'll get it in a few days... then you wait 3-4 weeks for them to purchase the item...

expect such excuses such as

- its hard to buy gold at the moment
- we didn't see your email
- 3-4x you will recieve your item this week

That's half true. A resolution has been proposed, but it hasn't been... 'consummated'.

And I haven't received any communications at all. It may well be that with Jon leaving, Jay is snowed under. But given the visibility that this has gained, I'd have thought this would be near the top of his to-do list...

It seems other active customers are not getting PMs sent back (after weeks). He might just be overwhelmed or well this is the beginning of the end of a large scam.

Or perhaps just the end of a company with shitty customer service.

Respectable people that brought up a company from zero to something and spent lots of time trying to make it work do not leave those companies without a very, very good reason. Trust me, I know.
