Title: User to user transfer withdrawn!
Post by: Mr_P on May 07, 2013, 01:52 pm
Hi,

With all the deposit delays I made user2user transfer over the main site this morning for a RL friend of mine. His account is showing that the transfer coins were almost immediately re-transferred to another random address.

He will be opening a ticket on site, but I thought I'd a topic on here to see if anyone else has had a similar problem or if any of the mods might have a clue. FWIW I trust this guy 100% and we realize it could be as straightforward as his login and pin being phished. Even so, with the speed it happened it almost seemed automatic and wonder if it could be a part of this whole tumbler problem.

Thanks in advance guys

Hi Mr_P,

When sending Bitcoin user to user via the main site you should always send it to a username, not to the person's deposit address. Sending to the person's username will ensure that the  Bitcoin are received immediately. As you sent them to his deposit address, it is likely that what you're seeing is the tumbler in action.

If they are not received within 24 hours feel free to message SR Support letting them know what has happened. :)

Thread locked as resolved.
