Just made an account to reply to this thread.. I am waiting on a 20BTC withdrawal from igot which has been pending for over a day now.. I wrote in on their facebook page and was directed to send in a support ticket so I did... It has now been over 12 hours and still no response.. the iGot page manager told me I submitted the support ticket in the "wrong section" but wont tell me where the "right section" is. Now after reading this it is certainly starting to sound suspicious.

The banking information given is relation to a company called "13th Pty Ltd" Could be worth looking up on the Australian Business Register as they do need to provide an address and contact number.

Hi, my outstanding cash payments are equivalent to 100BTC, and I have been waiting for more than 30 days for the cash to arrive. I feel for you, but there's nothing you can do but to keep chasing them for your payments/BTCs. They had again promised to refund my cash by the end of this week, but as expected, it's another huge disappointment and I received nothing. The company cannot be trusted.

Here are the email addresses of igot staff. The founder is Rick Day:
Rick Day <rick@igot.com>, julia@igot.com, Daniel Palmer <dan@igot.com>, Amit@igot.com, Vignesh Raja <Vignesh@igot.com>

Update (as of 5 June):
  • Two payments pending. Oldest pending since more than 30 days back.

I just got a support ticket back from Julie with the following:

Thank you for your email.
Due to ongoing upgrade, we will not be able to process this until Monday.

If you want, we can reverse the transactions and send your money back to your bank account?

Regards,

Julie

Will the fiat be quicker to receive than the bitcoin? Because I have been talking to customers who say they havent been paid their fiat in almost a month!

Considering I just sent them $6k @igot_user_03773356 and youve sent them 100btc, I dont see what the hold up is... sounds like a simple swap to me.. But hey, If you ever wanna trade  igot_user_03773356 and take out the slow as hell middle man I'll be more than happy to  Wink
