This is the story of how CoinURL stole my bitcoins. It wasn't that much but a warning should be issued to the community so that it doesn't happen to more people.

Here's how it went down:

+ I put bitcoins into my account on CoinURL.
+ Something "strange" happens to that my bitcoins magically disappear with no trace.
+ The supports tries to be helpful but gives more and more bad news.
+ All of the sudden the guy that handles refunds can't be reached.
+ I'm adviced to wait (forever).

This is a common scam strategy that involves:

+ A friendly face (in order to avoid the customer from realizing that he has been scammed).
+ Waiting (eventually the customer gives up and thinks "it wasn't that much money anyway").

I will post my e-mail conversation with the support. Bear with me since it is a bit long (but not too long if you want to be avoid being put in a situation like this).

It all began after I made an account and made a deposit. The homepage stated that 0 confirmations were required, yet nothing shows up after waiting a long while. That's when I contact support...

(E-mails are unedited, except for changing my name and mail address.)
