100% scam. Ordered, paid, order status was placed 'On hold' with no communication. Finally contacted them asking what's up, they come back saying the system miscalculated sales tax and needed an additional 85, when Czech VAT is 21% so it should've been 47.25 total. Asked to please refund the purchase. They responded that they'd lower VAT to 70. They didn't even provide how much bitcoin it'd be as I'm assuming that'd lead into yet another exchange where "oops, you sent the wrong amount, it's actually more." Their response: 0.011 BTC (83.21 equivalent), but if I sent 0.019 BTC (143.72 equivalent) they'd throw in a Trezor wallet with Cryptosteel which would be an insane discount. Too insane.

Again asked for refund and gave address where to send it. Never heard from them again...

I'm posting this as it's one of the first Google results when searching for whether or not cryptobitspot.com is a scam. There are enough fake reviews and employee's smurf accounts trying to make people believe they're legit that it was hard to know. Wanted to confirm to other people that they should stay away.

*NOTE to people coming here from Google: users jungmining and michaelharmsen are known scammers/shills on this forum. Ignore their comments. Saying if tax is owed then just pay it might sound right, but that's assuming the tax is real or that you'll ever receive what you ordered.

no scam at all i have translated his text and he is complaining about taxes.... i think everyone should pay them if required.

Their con is that no matter what you order they come back telling the customer a fake amount of VAT was "accidentally not included," try to haggle VAT if you actually question them, etc. They string people along to pay just a bit more just a bit more just a bit more until finally the person wants a refund, then they stop talking to you.

i'm in the same boat man. they are 100% scam. about 2 weeks ago i was trying to buy the miner master pro-c cooler. real flaky response time. they tried to pull the tax scam on me too, but i'm pretty sure u.s. citizens don't pay vat tax thats why it said $0.00. and no other so called tax was mentioned at check out. they wanted an extra 90 euros, but i called them out. asked for a refund, never got a response. the funny part is when i ordered, there were 3 left at 245 euros, now there is 6 left at 195. hope no one else gets caught out there, and for anyone who says they are legit, is a liar and scammer them self.
