Actually it would be the opposite of what you said..something like:
Build trust with small transaction and then catch the big fish.
I do not think a respectable site like Coinurl would scam for as low as 0.15XBT so just be patient and give the poor Richard some time to resolve the situation
Also you wanted to use their service and were give a 0.1XBT coupon so why not use it?

No, for a scammer it's better to catch small fishes because nobody believes them and they are more likely to forefit and give up their money. For example, I will not bother contacting the police for my 0.05 BTC that they have stolen. If it was 1000 BTC I would have contacted the police.

However if the scammer intends to shut down the site and leave with the money they can of course steal from both small and big fishes.

"Poor Richard" has had several weeks to fix this super small issue of a lost 0.05 BTC. If he hasn't fixed it by now he sure as hell doesn't deserve to be called "poor Richard" by my standards. He is just Richard and he should have resolved the situation a long time ago.

I did use their coupon, I turned it into credits in my account. I had planned to use it, but after they magically lost my real 0.05 BTC I non-magically lost faith in their system and wanted to pull out.

Why even accuse of it being a scam when he has given you .1 credit to USE ON THE WEBSITE?

Are you serious man??

No one has been scammed, they gave you credit??

Why accuse? Because it's justified. I've stated several times that I have put money into my account, got nothing in return and now can't get my money back.

I'm serious. They gave me 0.1 BTC extra for my troubles (I thought, turns out it was just imaginary bitcoins that I could use to make a campaign if I wanted to -- there's a big differance between real BTC and those that just work in their system). These 0.1 BTC were extra, I should still have my original (real) 0.05 BTC.

I didn't use the imaginary 0.1 BTC because I wanted out. I deemed their system too unstable so I wanted to take my money and leave. I stated in the mail that I might be back when their service got more stable. They said I couldn't withdraw the 0.1 BTC I got from them but I should still be able to withdraw my original 0.05 BTC. That's why I HAVE been scammed.

If you actually read this thread properly you will see the guy got CREDITED. He did not get scammed.

The guy asked for his deposit to be processed and why wasn't it processed, so .1 was put through.

Vouchers cannot be withdrawn - Thats a bugger, but at the same time you have just doubled what you were going to put in - Who would complain about that?

[...]

It's you that has not read the thread properly.

I put 0.05 BTC into their site.

I got that. Plus 0.1 BTC extra.

My total balance was then 0.15 BTC.

Then they lost 0.05 BTC (the real bitcoins). All that's left in my account is 0.1 of fake BTC (only credits). I had NOT gotten any hits from them.

The problem is that they aren't returning my original 0.05 BTC to me. I just want out of their buggy system and they are doing nothing to help me. I don't know what book you are reading but in my book that reads a total scam.

I've said so many times, 0.05 BTC is not a lot, but if it was 1 BTC or 100 BTC -- it doesn't matter. A scam is a scam and people must be warned.

Even IF it's not a deliberate scam it's a fact that they are treating me, a customer, very badly and this is reason enough to tell people about my story. I'm glad YOU have had good experience with them but obviously they don't tread everybody kindly and I'm happy if I make someone think twice before sending them any bitcoins -- because chances are they won't get anything for them and they won't get them back either.

Back on topic: To the OP.

So what you are saying is that they made a mistake, and they realize it so they gave you twice the amount credited to your account as a apology. But you want even more from them?

[...]

Think of it this way. You deposited 0.05. They f**ked up and didn't credit your account. They apologized, and not only gave your your 0.05 credit to your account, but added another 0.05 to "try and make the customer happy." Why not just use it for what you originally intended to and move on?

That's not at all what happened. A lot of people seems to half-read my thread, assume that I'm just an asshole and then continue to defend CoinURL.

+ I sent 0.05 BTC to them.
+ They gave me an additional 0.1 BTC.
+ My account had 0.15 BTC before I made a campaign.
+ I made a campaign for 0.05 BTC to test things out.
+ The campaign disappeard from their system and no hits were sent to my site. I got nothing for those 0.05 BTC.
+ Now my account has 0.1 BTC and I want out. But they refuse to give me back my original 0.05 BTC.
+ Meanwhile they don't respond to my mails and the guy in charge goes missing.

I hope this clears things up.

Sorry OP for driving this off topic.

Not your fault, don't worry about it.

Anyway: Bottom line is that CoinURL is not responding to my mails any more and they will not refund me my measly 0.05 BTC.
