Another guy just announced that he got his bank-transfer from the 18'th cancelled and refunded.

How is it that you havent cancelled your transfer already on the 28 Feb? after ten days. You might still have time to report a fraudulent transfer to your bank, but you need to tell your bank, not ask dweebs on bitcointalk.

Interesting, do you know who said that? I'd like to talk to that person.

I did an international transfer on the 17thFeb and asked to cancel it on the 19th and it was too late already. My bank contacted Gox's bank in Poland and they could only give the money back if they received authorization from Gox. Needless to say they never received the confirmation - even worse, they couldn't get in touch with Gox.

I raised a complaint in the UK police fraud department, and got nothing on that side. Now that Gox is officially bankrupt, I'm not sure how a fraud investigation affects the situation, I have the feeling it is paused until the bankruptcy process is cleared up, but I am not an expert on this.

Your experience might have to do with your bank or the country your'e in. They should have reversed the transaction if you had told them that you are a victim of fraud, and you made a web purchase on a fraudulent web shop called mtGox. Wink

thanks for that.

Well, this bank account is based in the UK in a main street bank so I should have access to consumer protection as well.

At that time, we talked about fraudulent activities but I didn't officially told them that because I had no real evidence, only speculative evidence. I only told them I sent money to them and they are about to get bankrupt.
Maybe I should have pushed more the victim of a fraud card. I will call them again today to see if they have any news.

I think that's the right story line with banks, as they are insured against web purchase fraud, so people won't be discouraged to buy online.

However if you transferred 10.000 EUR or something similar large, they wont pay you back just on your statement.
