www.bitcoinatrade.com Just lost 2BTC to them and they're still asking me to give them another 2BTC
I used
www.bitcoin-a-trade.com to turn 0.1 BTC last week to fiat in the UK last week. The transaction went very smoothly and within 30 mins I had the cash in my PayPal account.
However, in the last 48 hours I have sent them 0.5BTC, had no response from them, eventually they emailed to say due to high demand their systems can only take a minimum of 2BTC. They asked in me in a series of emails to add another 1.5BTC to make 2BTC and they would credit my PayPal account with a rate above preev.
As you can imagine I totally uncomfortable with this level of exposure, I emailed them pointing out the obvious concerns, they emailed several times over a 12-hour period reassuring me that they would credit my PayPal account immediately.
Me with my greed and the mug I am I sent the additional 1.5BTC. You guessed it
..
Surprise, surprise I get an email from them, saying their systems could not process the 2BTC, I need to add another 2BTC making it 4 BTC and they would pay out immediately, at above preev and charges to me.
By now the greed had cleared from my eyes, I asked for my initial coins back.
Long story short, am being told it will take up to a week to get my 2 BTC sent back to me.
I know I have been conned.
Ill be lucky to get my 2 BTC back.
Ill be keen to hear from anyone who has dealt with bitcoin-a-trade.com good or bad experiences.
My two satoshi advice
.stay well clear.
