Hello everyone,
I'm more than certain that I'm being scammed by xmlgold.eu for £3183.00 worth of bitcoins.
I made an exchange for 24.5 coins in return of a direct bank transfer to my bank account for the sum of £3183.00
This was done on Monday and Im sure i choose an express service due to the BTC price taking a sharp downward slip to about 215USD a coin.
Back to the point, its now Thursday and they have requested a scan of my passport which I was reluctant to give at first (due to security reasons) but which I did provide promptly.
They have now said its Bank Holiday tomorrow(Friday) but infact in the UK bank holiday starts on Saturday through on to Monday. Regardless they have stated the banks are closed tomorrow (which is an outright lie) and because of that my transfer will be pushed back to next week. I personally feel as though its a MT Gox type stall/delay. I dont want to jump to conclusions and call them scammers. But as it stands now, it looks like they are stalling me for what ever reason and the only reason im so worried is due to the substantial amount of money thats at stake.
I even requested a refund of my coins if it was impossible to complete my transfer within this week. They have said the bank isnt allowing them to refund me via BTC, which again is very very wierd. Considering the bank only handles the bank transfer side of business??
Has anyone been mistreated or scammed by xmlgold.eu before ?
UPDATE: I have received payment in full from XMLgold and the problem has now been fully resolved.
