In my opinion they try their best to protect scammers in bitcoin transactions because in this way "nobody will trust bitcoins"
I hope they will go bankrupt one day....

So basically paypal protects scammers

If you sell bitcoins legitemately and a scammer asks for a chargeback => the scammer goes away with the money
If you sell bitcoins scamming, and the legitimate buyer asks for the chargeback => still the scammer goes away with the money

 Huh Huh Huh

i've converted into a paypal claim.
The reply of the site was:
"virtual & digital item N° di tracciamento virtual & digital item"

we will see what paypal will do

Is paypal really enabling these scammers ?  That doesn't sound possible unless somehow Paypal itself can't get their money back anymore.

Well someone had to do it to confirm it was spam. Nothing surprises me about PayPal. They banned my account and blocked my funds for selling physical bitcoins I make because they considered me as high risk. I had never even had a dispute apart from so wine doing a charge back on me after they received a coin. However they let these guys do what ever they want taking people's money. I know it's not a lot but if you send me your nxt account by pm I will send you 100 coins to make up a little for the loss if you don't get any luck with PayPal that is first.

can't believe silly me got scammed by coingoo as well Cry. Thought Paypal would protect me, but should've know better. They closed my claim saying that they cannot track virtual goods  Roll Eyes. Well, if they think they cannot use the blockchain explorer then why do they permit a non-verified account from China to sell cryptocurrencies in the first place. Paypal has enabled these scammers to run their nice business. And now they protect them. If Paypal let's them take out the money then they are accomplice to coingoo's scam. Issued a Amex charge back now. Hope that will work. Keep far away from coingoo.

How did you pay for the coins? If you used a credit card or PayPal you should easily be able to issue a charegeback.

They're doing it here too. They pop up daily. Another one just this morning: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7503396

Just report them if you see them. Hopefully the text they post can be added to a blacklist to auto-ban them or something.

Any more news of these guys? I was going to test the waters. Paypal is relatively safe with buyer protection right?

You want to test out a scam site to see if it's a scam? Go right ahead and report back.

Somebody with a brand new account just posted a link for Coingoo.com on the NXT forum.  The coin offers were really cheap!  Within a couple of minutes the post was taken down.  I am guessing it was spam.  I came on here and this is the only other information I could find about that site. 

Looks too good to be true.  I could have made 30% on arbitrage turning around and dumping them.  If Coingoo was so happy to sell coins, why wouldn't they just dump on any regular exchange?

Coingoo.com is so blatantly a scam.  Like I said, they hammered bitsharestalk.org.  Every forum.  They did not act professional in the slightest.  I'd give them benefit of doubt if the links had affiliate ids.  There is no way it could be legitimate.

They spammed the hell out of bitsharestalk.org and the links don't even have affiliate codes.  I'm talking like 20 posts on every forum.  Pathetic.

When using scamadviser.com  it looks like the website isn't very trustable:
http://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/coingoo.com

it has a rating of 33/100

Alert Result: This website is 60 Days old
Alert Result: The website expected life (365 days) is relatively short.
Alert Result: The website appears to be less than six months old
Alert Result: This website setup involves countries known to be high risk
Alert Result: This website is likely to be operating from a high risk country

Last but not least, they say they are "VerySign secured" ... verySign is an SSL service, which not only is way expensive, but, when trying to navigate their website over https  I get this message: "This Connection is Untrusted"

Be careful

They're selling all sorts of coins for relatively cheap prices. Seems suspicious to me. Does anybody have any experience with them?

Well... if anything... they do take major credit cards and paypal. so you've at least got some buyer protection there if they don't deliver. I also checked the better business bureau and ripoffreport.com for anything pertaining to them. nothing came up. A basic google search brings up about 6,000 results. Not sure if all are relevant, but it looks like they have a decent presence on the interwebz. A whois lookup turns up a bit of a discrepancy, though. The registrant and admin info seem a bit... off. They put their address as being in New York. But they listed China as the country where they're located. A lookup of the country code (+86) they gave with their phone/fax numbers backs that up. Also, the exact address they gave doesn't exist in New York City, where they claim to be located. Based on the whois alone, I would say it seems a bit fishy.

My advice would be... if you do decide to try buying something from them, be cautious and only purchase small amounts at a time. If you choose to use a credit card, go buy yourself a prepaid card and only put however much you intend to spend on it. That way you won't get screwed if they decide to go rogue and dip into their customer cc database.

Good luck. And if you do make a purchase through them, post a report here on the forum.

I haven't checked the site but the old adage if it looks too good to be true then it probably is may apply here. Don't be fooled in just by the cheap prices as this is usually a classic hook.
