This is a warning to the community against buying anything from Coinographic (
http://www.coinographic.com/ ) !!!
Mark (the owner) has posted on this forum that he is closing down his company (
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10291741 ), but he has not yet taken down his website where one can still buy his coins. It seems that he has run out of money and that he can neither deliver all the coins that people have already ordered or even just refund the money.
And as if that isn't bad enough in itself, some customers are now coming forward and saying that coins they have bought and received back in October 2014 are NOT even funded with Litecoins though Mark claimed they were!
I have done design work for Mark and he owes me money as well. I can live with that, I only lost time and my good name by putting it on the products of Marks fraudulent(?) company. But I would hate to see people still pay and buy coins that they will clearly never receive. Damn I wish I had known that I wasn't the only person he owed money so this could have been brought to light earlier and maybe saved others from putting money in this black hole.
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM COINOGRAPHIC!!!If you have already bought and received coins from Coinographic please check to see if your coins are in fact funded or not. If not, or if you have pre-paid and not yet received anything, please report in this thread so we can start to get an idea of how much he actually owes people in the community and for how long he has been doing this.
Please post how much and for what he owes you.
I'll start. For designing and rendering he owes me:
- 1500 EUR in bitcoins
- One fully funded gold 1BTC coin (sold for 8.9978 BTC on his site)
- One fully funded silver 1BTC coin (sold for 2.4011 BTC on his site)
[UPDATE feb 1st]Okay, as I have already stated, this thread is not meant as a public lynching of any kind, but merely an attempt to create a little clarity where many feel there isn't enough.
I have received a reply, and Mark is promising to take care of things. He will take down the order page when he puts the form up. Though of course IMHO that should be done right away.
Here's his response to the unfunded coins claim:
"We have never sold coins unfunded but they are shipped unfunded. If someone didn't send us an email with the shipping confirmation number then they wouldn't have been funded. In any case we intend to resolve all these issues "My honest guess to what has happened? Well, I think this whole sad situation is a result of mostly poor business decisions, and on top a terrible crypto year price-wise that didn't exactly help either. Doing this past year I mailed back and forth with Mark, and no matter what time of the day or week he always responded right away (Before things spiralled down that is) . If his intentions were to scam people I doubt that he would be working 24/7 like he did. In any case, let's wait and see what happens these next few days and hope for the best.
