What does "confirmation" stands for? For example "60 confirmations". Also, how does "request payment" work? Does it send out an email (hmm are emails even linked to BTC addresses) or what happens?

Guess i'm ripped off as well.. Would've taken me 10 seconds to google and find this thread, doh. Lesson learned and lots of money (to me at least) lost

Are there any similar services, that aren't scammers (yet)?
