That was quick.

Could you send me the wording that you used for threatening legal action?

You can PM me, or post it here, whichever suits you better.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with Tradehill.

I have sent a similar email to TH, about 2 weeks ago. No response until now.

How long did it take until you got your bitcoins back?

Nein, bin neu. Was sind, Deiner Meinung nach, die anderen 2-3 winzige klitzekleine Kritikpunkte? Und wo wäre es besser?

Und ich muss sagen, dass ich etwas erstaunt darüber bin, dass bitcoin.de Überhaupt solch einen fragwürdigen Dienst in Anspruch nimmt.
Das ist eine kleine Kritik an bitcoin.de .
Ich will "sofort" nichts unterstellen, aber Leuten zu suggerieren, dass es völlig in Ordnung ist, seine Bank-Login-Daten auf einer Seite eines Drittanbieters anzugeben, ist an sich schon sehr fragwürdig.

Eben. Deswegen wundert mich, dass ein Dienst wie sofort.com überhaupt existieren kann ...
Ich jedenfalls werde meine online-Banking-Daten niemals auf irgendeiner Seite eines Drittanbieters eingeben.

Ich versuche gerade, mein Konto bei bitcoin.de zu verifizieren.

Wenn ich nun auf den Link "Verifizierung des Bankkontos" klicke (in den Einstellungen meines bitcoin.de-Accounts),
dann werde ich auf eine Seite von "sofort banking" weitergeleitet, die so aussieht:

Muss ich mir jetzt einen Login bei 'sofort Banking' besorgen?
Oder wie ist das gedacht?

Bin etwas verwirrt ...

G.

In theory, that is correct. But they live in the US, I live in Germany.

In addition, I don't know if the new Tradehill company is liable for the old Tradehill company.
Do you know?

Like you, I have tried every possible channel, but never reached anybody.

I tend to believe now that Tradehill is/was a scam.


Best regards,
Gabriel.

I guess the same holds for support@tradehill.com ?

Hi Ryan & All,

sorry for the long silence - after my last post I had to go on vacation for 2 weeks.
Hopefully, I can resurrect this thread.

About a week ago, I called the phone number that Ryan_Singer has given ( (415) 422-9628), the answering machine seemed to work fine , the automatic answering text seemed OK, too, I believe I have spoken clearly, but nobody has called me back yet.

Last week, I have also sent two emails: one to support at tradehill.com , the other one to allison at tradehill.com.
Both of them were returned today, with the same error message:
<allison@tradehill.com>... Deferred: Connection timed out with cf-ssl29152-protected.tradehill.com.
Message could not be delivered for 5 days


Anything else I can do to reach Tradehill ?

Best regards,
Gabriel.

Yeah, I can understand that they don't want to deal with low net worth individuals.

But ...

We have seen now at least 3 different physical addresses (not counting the mail forwarding to Oregon).
It almost feels like hide-and-seek.

And a phone number that is advertised as a support line, but that never works, doesn't build up reputation in my mind.
Dito for emails that never get answered at all.

Thanks a lot for the photo(s).

Did you check whether there was any kind of name plate at that address saying "Tradehill", or "Kenna" ?

I have never done a PM or a Report.

Plus, limiting posting to 6 minute intervals seems like a bad idea to me - after all, I can well respond to two different posts with in a period of 2-3 minutes.
(E.g., this response is the second post to this forum within 2 minutes - well, it would be, if the 360 seconds bug wouldn't prevent it ... )

Thanks a lot for the email addresses. I will try that.

If I don't get a response in a week's time, I will come back to your offer about the pictures ;-)

Best regards,
Gabriel.

It happens to me all the time.
It seems like I can post only once per day.

I have never used a forum where posting is so buggy.

Thanks a lot to all of you who have found out something or shared insights & thought.

Yes, a company that has mail forwarding set up for the address they post as their business address on their web page would be regarded highly suspicious in Europe.
And, as Nagle has found out, if someone was to send a letter to their postal address, it would never arrive, which is definitely another suspicious thing to a European.

Also, I have sent Tradehill an email a few days ago at 'support@tradehill.com' - and now I have received a message saying that the email did not get through ...


Sorry for not posting more often in this thread (in fact, in the whole forum): my problem it that I am able to post only once a day.
Otherwise I get the error message "The last posting from your IP was less than 360 seconds ago".
Or I get an error message saying that I have sent the post already (which is, of course, not true).

If you are there, could you please also ask how I can reach them via phone? The lines of the phone numbers given on the web page seem to be always busy.
And why all this business with virtual offices?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Gab.

Same for me - and I am certain that I did not post in the past 6 minutes!

I am trying to contact Tradehill. Did anyone have success with it?

I had sent them an email a few months ago, no response.
I have just tried to contact them via phone, but the line seems to be always busy.

Best regards,
Gabriel.

Thanks for sharing the insights!

So I'm facing 2 problems:
1. I don't know the public address of my bitcoins;
2. I don't have a private key - or do I?
