Hey guys,
I am new to this forum, but I googled "btc2money legit" and found this forum trying to find out if this site is a scam or not. I joined here to give you a heads up on my experience so far with this site.
I just started using it today for the first time. Looking up the whois for it, I see it is only a 1 month old website, which puts up a red flag for me, but hey everything was new at one point, so I gave it a shot.
I started off selling their minimum at .1 btc which was about $70 worth. I ended up receiving the money to my paypal in literally 15 minutes! Sweet! So I thought about it, and decided to go for a bit bigger gamble.
About 2 hours later I decided to sell about .7 btc at $500. This time things didn't go as smooth. Now they did send me this email though pretty promptly:
---------
Hello,
We received your payment, but we like to notify you that there may be some delays with withdrawal because our payment system is not working at the moment (denial-of-service attack).
We will keep you updated.
---------
So this kind of freaked me out. I'm like really? A DOS attack right when I put in a big order a few hours later? That's when I started searching around for if this site was a scam or not. Well I came upon some good knowledge that put me a bit at ease.
I looked at where my payment came from on Paypal, and it was "Virtual World Services GmbH" or virwox.com, one of the top BTC trading websites around. I visited their site, and sure enough, they had just posted a warning:
---------
2014-02-12: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT : BITCOIN WITHDRAWALS SUSPENDED!
Warning
Because of a denial-of-service attack against the Bitcoin protocol, we have to suspend Bitcoin withdrawals temporarily until a software fix is issued.
---------
So it seems some rare issue happened at virwox preventing them to send out btc. So for now, it doesn't seem like they are trying to scam me out of $500. I did ask for a refund in btc though because this might take a few days to resolve, but I haven't heard a response yet. Will post again when things change.
This site is a 100% Scaminteresting development
Hey guys, following up from before.
Well everything worked out good. I got paid my $500 worth of btc to paypal as I ordered and things went smoothly. This is the email I got from them shortly before getting paid:
---------------
Hello,
Our partner VirWox will give us special access anytime now, so we won't suffer from this DDOS attack. You will be paid out really soon.
Sorry for the small delay.
---------------
So apparently they have a special account with virwox.com. That site still says they are suspending btc payments, but I did receive my payment from virwox this time as well.
My plan is to continuously sell to these guys routinely since I make a decent amount of money doing it. Even though I am cautious, I want to trust in them. Funny, this topic has been gaining ranks in google when you search btc2money.net!
If anything goes wrong, I will be sure to let you all know! Btc2money.net don't you screw me over, I will be the first to let everyone know;)
