Title: Did I get ripped off?
Post by: rockey766 on March 07, 2013, 04:07 am
Ok So I bought some bitcoins with a 100 dollar moneypak from the seller UncleJoesTradingPost, that was about four days ago, since then the money has been taken off the pak, and I have yet to recieve my coins. I also noticed he deleted the original listing I bought it from. And when I try to click the sellers name it just brings me to the page to message him, wont go to his seller page for some reason. He had good ratings so thats the only reason I chose him, starting to worry though.

I am afraid that is one of the biggest scams going. You have to be very careful trading money packs or WU for bit coins.

There are very few vendors I would trust with this method.

Please just use one of the exchanges for bitcoins.

Apart from learn an expensive lesson no mate sorry there isn't I'm afraid. There are a few vendors considered reputable for this type of service but you will need to research the forums to find out who to use as I don't have much knowledge on this subject. There is some info on the SR wiki re buying bit coins that you should read, here is the link:

Hope that helps.
