I just saw this on Reddit. Great!

[misterbigg]

This looks like an enormous scam.

CAUTION!

I placed a "canary order" with them last week and while I was told to expect my stuff on the 9th, it still has not arrived today. No tracking number has been provided either.

I have emailed them twice this week without a response.

I do not know if they are a scam or if they forgot to account for Finals Week or something. Since my order was placed on launch day, I'm giving them some time to get their stuff together, but they really need to improve their communication if they are legit.

I will update in the reddit thread (as Scryb3) as I find out more, and continue to take appropriate action as needed.

Still nothing, these guys are a scam or very very bad at communicating.

Thanks for checking it out for us and for the continued updates :p

So sorry to hear that this was a scam. It would have been so good service for Bitcoiners.  

[joesmoe2012]

HiddenApple is an obvious scam too.

[Welsh]

So a confirmed scam?

Hmm, I wonder if I should sue the registrar for my money since they obviously didn't even do form validation on that number...

I also traced my coins on blockchain and they entered a mixer on the very first hop.

Thanks for the update.

Doubt you can sue the registrar, but I bet you can have the domain shut down.
