Topic: BitGold.com IS COMPLETELY SCAM - page 11. (Read 80573 times)

Bitgold tries to expand with referrals etc. It's a terrible marketing strategy if you can't live up to it.

Clearly they don't. Best thing to do is to boycot them.

Say what! 25 USD withdrawal fee? Have they become a bank too.

Such fee's are ridiculous even for banks btw. Being new in the game they should have known that..

Haha dammit they are just making a joke out of themself. I am glad I did not fall for their free bitgold promotio for new users then.

Scam Scam fuuu fuuu no good.

Today I've received my (free) prepaid creditcard (Mastercard) from GoldMoney by post! I just wanted to confirm this here Requirement to qualify is to have at least 1 gram of gold in your account, I got this from referrals only.

For who hasn't joined yet: BitGold.com/r/DxUzFG (referral)

With referral link you get up to 0.250 gram Gold (EUR 8,15) when you use the referral. Without referral (bitgold.com) you won't get free gold.

Note that the amount varies per country: Asian countries get like 1 euro, European countries 8 euro, USA about 9 dollar I think.

The open-your-account-bonus takes 60 days to clear, and you need to log in during those 60 days to check your account (if not, the free gold will expire again).

I've opened this account a couple of months back, hoping they include Bitcoin withdrawals. So far they haven't, but creditcard is also a nice option!

My dream is to get 10 grams of gold shipped to my house, but to reach that I need dozens op referrals ... So it's up to you guys :p

I'd like to throw in a bonus for all confirmed referrals (after 60 days!): I will pay you 10 mBTC (0.01 bitcoin; 1 million satoshi) once I've received my 0.25 gram referral gold (so excluding the countries that have a lower referral). If you're a European/American/Canadian that should work. Bitgold shows me the email address of referrals, once the gold is confirmed I will email you a (printable) paper wallet containing the 10 millibitcoins. I'm not sure if I have enough Activity here to be trusted, but if you don't trust me, you'll still have the 0.25 grams gold

Note that a paper wallet should be spent at once, as change is likely to get lost...

BitGold has quite a luring affiliate program that just seems too good to be true. Although the owners and operators are known in real life that shouldn't mean it is trustworthy.

Also the payment processor itself isn't liquid enough. You can buy it with bitcoins but you can't cashout with bitcoins officially(yet).

Let's hope this isn't the second Mt. Gox.

You know what's funny? Melaine joined the discussion and disappeared just like that!

Well I applied for the prepaid card for bitscamgold - I was approved, I guess 3rd time the charm? lets see what problems I get when I get the card, oh bitgold, such a adventure........

I got paid only 65% also and 10% came from  canada vault and rest came from New York , also there is no record it coming from canada on my transaction just from New York. Canada just all of a sudden had 60$ in it. I tried to redeem through card from New York and is not automatic but when i go though Canada vault its instant...i'm not happy !...When i buy gold it is instant but when i withdraw its 48 hours or plus the weekend..   ....Also the affiliate side tracking for impressions is not working since the first of November....seems kinda shady.

I have had no problem with them until october's payouts, this is my 3rd payout. i read somewhere they are  exchanging the wrong amount when paying out. For example,
      We get paid   5$ CAD and  is 3.80 USD .They are taking 380$ USD and exchanging to 2.86$ CAD and then paying us.Some person that doesn't know what they are doing is converting it wrong and then paying us. When i contact support on the affiliate side i got a major attitude from one of them in a email.

Its not about the clicks its about the impressions, a impression is when
someone goes to the page and scrolls over the ad. You can see the
impressions from last month compared to this month. The only thing that was
changed is the affiliate tracker for the new offer. the purple line is dead
in the graph and if you look here im not the only one.  (i showed screen shots of me not the only one with this problem)

​as you can see the purple impression line is not registering impressions
and im only getting clicks.

Hello,

The platform is working fine. We checked your account and so far in November you have 30 clicks and zero conversions.

Maybe tweak your offer as it seems is not working too well. Or reach a proper audience.

Thanks

Notice the manager has a different tune and doesn't help just says we will look into it instead of trying to figure out that maybe i am doing something wrong he just blows me off.

Lol gleb.

Nope you were clearly talking about redeeming gold. Redeeming via bank wire will cost you 1% of the amount so you should be fine!

Don't think so since when i exchanged, i get the conversion rate that is lower than the current one that time.

Using wire transfer is a pain, when i did it my bank took 10€ for conversion Cad->Eur and it took 5 days. Just wait till they relaunch their card (will be soon) the transfer is instant. ATM withdrawal is quite expensive though (2.50€ every withdraw lmao) but it's worth it.

Got paid today lmao. However, i got 65% of it, i should have had 2850€ with the bonus for the whole month of october and only got 1855€ (56g and something), i'm still very happy though.

I'd say go for it, adding an extra $13 for expedient delivery, thus getting in front of them before they have a chance to change their mind. That'll show 'em who's the boss.

LMFAO, so I contacted support, so in order to withdraw my $37 they told me there is a $25 wire fee.

What a fucking joke "company" bitgold is.

That is correct. Every time you put a request to withdraw first they will deny your withdrawal request. If you call them and email them then all non sense reason they give but so for I manage to withdraw one time successfully and after that I gave up.

Isn't $37 worth of BTC equal to $37 worth of BTC regardless what the exchange rate is? Please pardon my question, for I was born on a turnip truck at night, in which the sulfur concentration has affected my reasoning since my breech birth.

When you deposit money via credit card, its almost instant. Same thing goes with BTC.

But when you withdraw, it takes 3 days and then all they say is " due to the price fluctuation, your withdrawal is denied. Please request a new one according do current prices .. etc etc'


Trust me, i was on the same boat as you are now. I am this much frustrated , just waiting for melaine to post back , if only they care.

And, you, too, can come up with a just as humorous post when teamin' two quasi-active brain cells together like I had to struggle to do. HAHAHA

Took 3 days, annnnd they denied my withdrawal, no reason given, fucking scammers, i am emailing them to find that bull shit reason, lol they wont even make a $37 payment...
