Is bitmoney.eu a scam?

[reinhard]

yesterday bought from them bitcoin, at the moment I got nothing. They say that they can not replenish their wallet due to congestion of the network. Be careful, it looks like scammers


Dear Customer,


We are currently unable to send you the Bitcoins, and we might have a delay for several days. At the moment the blockchain is very congested and we are having troubles moving Bitcoins from our accounts to external accounts, such as yours. Please keep in mind that it might take us extraordinary amount of time to send you the Bitcoin's you purchase from our site as the blockchain congestion issue is out of our control.


Your bitcoins will be delivered to your wallet, but it will take longer than usual from the recent increase in traffic on the blockchain.

We apologize for the delay and thank you for choosing to buy with Bitmoney.eu!

Why would you use an exchange with only 1500+ transactions? There are plenty of alternatives out there. The problem they are talking is the slower confirmation times I believe but this shouldn't be their problem, they could at least pay decent fees and give the users the TXID, or maybe they just don't want to pay the high fees as they will be at loss. With that being sad, I'm going to assume that the payment methods used on the site are reversible. If that's the case, you could ask for chargeback from your credit card company or whatever method you've used.

Has anyone already dealt with them?

I bought here, and received my Bitcoin instantly. I used ecopayz to purchase as they are the only ones offering eco for btc
