Summary of what happened:

This is the SECOND time a coin I purchased from gravitate was NOT loaded with BTC even though it was supposed to be funded.

Here is the first scam accusation: Gravitate selling "FUNDED" coins that are NOT FUNDED

This time I purchased a set of (2) 2016 Microsoul 0.05BTC Silver and Silver with gold B physical bitcoin funded coins. While sweeping the funds last night, one of the coins (gold B) had no funds associated with the private key. Gravitate once again sold me a coin that was NOT FUNDED!

Amount Scammed:
0.1BTC

Payment Method:
Bitcoin

Details of the scam:
I reserved my coin set #17 on April 3, 2016. According to his 2016 0.05 Microsoul silver sales thread, these coins were supposed to be shipping already (December 2016). The first person to receive their coins was on May 3, 2016. People who purchased noticed plating issues with the gold B. Complaints have started about how long the group buy shipment has been taking. Because of the shipping delays, gravitate promised to send everyone a free 0.001BTC funded coin (but he never did). I joined the group buy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1248550.msg14403415#msg14403415). The Group buy shipment had arrived May 13, 2016 and the originator sent messages to those whose coins he received. I was not sent a message. So my coins were never shipped to the group buy originator as instructed. Gravitate confirmed my coins were not in the group buy, but sent directly from him to me. People were waiting for funding of these received coins. Gravitate promised some coin certificates and funding of coins on May 30, 2016. He never fulfilled the promise of the "certificates". He blamed delays on health issues. Gravitate then stated on June 6, 2016:

Gravitate lives in France. If my coins were not sent directly from him and not in the group buy, why would someone else be shipping my coin??? Thats unacceptable. So, who has my original #17 coin set??? Another Faux pas! In the meantime I had been sending messages to gravitate asking where my coins were, tracking, etc. He wanted to refund me. I said, I just want my coins and gravitate couldnt explain where my coins were or what happened to them. But, he kept delaying and making excuses. Gravitate went back to blaming his pain killers for his inability to ship my coins. So, I agreed I would accept a different numbered coin set (#30). He agreed to send me my replacement #30 coins. There were more people complaining about coins not being funded promptly in his sales thread. On June 27, 2016, the coins the other buyers had purchased were funded. Mine was not included because I had STILL not received my coins! Gravitate said he shipped my coins on August 25th. I received the #30 coins in the beginning of September. But, I had two problems. One was the Silver coin id text was RED when it shouldve been black. The other problem was with the quality of gold B coin. So, I shipped the gold B coin back to get ANOTHER replacement coin, same coin #30 but with a different coin id and address. I received the replacement coin back in the end of September. Then, the delays of funding kept happening again and again. Finally after months, NOVEMBER 19th, both coins were funded. But, the gold B coin #30 was funded with 0.1BTC by mistake.

Also by accident I funded one of his 0.05 coins with 0.1 BTC
i provided a service as good as I could, charged as little as possible and was as openly honest as possible,. I even put my passport online at one stage and never tried to hide my identity.

Scammer is the most disgusting word to call someone full stop its sickening. I'd just like to say thanks, enjoy the coins and good luck to everyone! anyone with any problems microsoul@outlook.com apart from that I am out of here for good.

Why would he do that to a 0.05BTC funded coin? Yet another mistake. This coin just so happens to be the one that is NOT FUNDED. It took 7 months to get my funded coins from the time I reserved them and now I find out one of them was never funded.

Private key:

Code:

L1HHWLCB12ykV9HmzoWJwdpaWahWt996SBdqhrDsqDetyXucYqeF

This private key translates to the following Bitcoin public address:

Code:

1E6rRRCghBvxV3ebwV64Aa9UpNicRYUVaE

This is not the address gravitate gave me, nor is it the coin ID on the back. The correct public address is:
https://blockchain.info/address/1E6rRRCghBvxV3ebwV64Aa9UpNicRYUVaE

Im tired of hearing this is just a mistake. No more excuses. This was not a mistake. He has now scammed me out of funds from 3 different coins. Purchase total for the 3 coins was 0.7957BTC! He never resolved the first scam accusation. And, now he's got another!

BEWARE!!! This is the SECOND warning to everyone with Microsoul "funded" coins and any dealing with gravitate!
The coins can no longer be trusted to be funded and any business dealings with gravitate are at your own risk!

EDIT 7/31/17: Added Redeemed picture.

So you lost out from the 1st time? Tell me in terms of bitcoin how you lost out. Straight out lie man. Come on. That scam thread was closed. Now because your lazy arse didn't tell me you received the coins then I am blamed for not funding them. Lol to you. If you diddnt call me a scammer every 5 minutes I may pay more attention to you. Bieng accused of bieng a scammer is a lot more hurtful than getting some bitcoin delayed. You and a few others will see this.
