Topic: coinurl.com is no good - page 2. (Read 10839 times)
It's non-profit and community driven. I run it for free out of my own time. Love it when the few morons get on here and complain about a free site or complain when I asked a user more about their story.
LMAO Get real dude! Why bitch about something that you choose not to use. It's one site in the world sorry you have to see it's name when hanging out in the SCAMs and Accusations section.
YEs, plenty of people take it seriously and actually use it.
Did you read what the people above you said?
I disagree with the OP...
He never reads the threads. It's all about throwing people up on his absurd little website then getting payed to remove them again.
I've been thinking this too. No-one takes Bitcoin Scammer seriously unless they have an account age of less than 1 month.

Also having a go at his employees, isn't the best idea either.

so, they gave you a 0.1 voucher for your lost 0.05 btc if I got that right?
wtf is the big deal then?
wtf is the big deal then?
Firstly, CoinURL is not a scam.
We have been using CoinURL for the last 12 months and its perfect for us, we make plenty of money via coinurl.
We also have had the same issue, with a deposit going missing.
As his developer is rebuilding the verification system related to the deposits function on their website, sometimes richard has to manually approve a payment or he gives you a voucher code.
Just back off a bit and wait for a reply.

Hello, I deposited 0.05 BTC to my account here on CoinURL yesterday.
I sent the bitcoins to this address:
18o4uzXXeGAXDrmGTGzxG6PwRts2PfCPhw
This was about 10 hours ago. It said on your withdrawal page that the address would be valid for 24 hours and that you required no confirmations, I would receive the bitcoins immediately in my account.
As of now the trasaction has had 79 confirmations but my account has not yet been credited with a balance of 0.05 BTC.
Please add 0.05 BTC to the balance of my CoinURL-account ("mikper") or return my bitcoins by sending 0.05 BTC to:

While we're talking, I plan on making a safe-for-work ad campaign for:
http://bfg.swfchan.com/?start
I trust this is okay? The reason I'm asking is because while swfchan itself contains adult material the page I plan to advertise for has no such material (even the ads are turned off on that page). So it should be alright to categorize it as being non-pornographic right? As you can see it is clean.
Btw, where do you set such content-related properties for the ads? I plan on making the ad interstitial but I see no such options to set it as SFW or NSFW?

Now when I am logged in and go to https://coinurl.com/profile-ads.php I don't see my ad!
Both active and history is blank. My account still only has 0.1 BTC and not 0.15 BTC like it should have if my ad didn't run.
Since my ad didn't run (is not in history) and is no loger pending (is not in active) I draw the conclusion that you have decided not to run my ad after all, even though you said so during our email conversation.
Please refund my 0.5 BTC that I put into the ad campain that you have denied.
If you don't plan to allow me to advertise the BFG program at all on CoinURL I would like to withdraw all of my bitcoins from my account since they won't be used. If so, please send 0.15 BTC to this bitcoin address:

Hey Mikael!
I have no idea what happened there. 99.99% chance the developer denied it. Since I am so extremely busy (and I'm not ignoring anyone, I just unfortunately work full time so I only have a couple hours per day to work on the site) I have some employees who work for me. I have a full time developer who is a real life saver, he is extremely knowledgeable and is continually tweaking performance and adding new features, as well as the main admin for the site. I have recently hired another mod who is starting to work on the site to approve ads and answer emails, but he is still very fresh. It just gets to the point where I can't possibly return all these emails, but the site is doing well enough to hire help so that's the initiative I am taking.
I personally have no problem with any ad campaign that doesn't have malware and doesn't break our frame. The site originally was set up with filters to allow these sorts of adult material to be advertised yet filtered out for users who don't want it, and I think it works great. However my developer is strongly against it.. I agree with him that we should be as family friendly as possible but at the same time, there is a massive market for these grey market areas so my plan is to set up a clone of CoinURL on a different domain (which I've already started to set up) that is going to be my "anything goes" ad marketplace.
I've looked at the page you linked me to (http://bfg.swfchan.com/?start) and I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. Maybe it's still pending? I wouldn't fret about if it takes awhile to get set up with CoinURL right now, as we continue to grow we will keep adding services and staff to accommodate everyone. I don't even mind about the Bitcoin amount, I will happily refund your balance AND give you the credit for your initial campaign to try it out simply to have another advertiser on board. If *everyone* used CoinURL to the fullest we would be untouchable, but unfortunately we have an excess amount of publishers and a lacking of advertisers so when people make campaigns, there is so much traffic that it eats their balances away and they are forced to bid lower and lower to make it last, all the while getting a fantastic deal for the traffic, it is discouraging to our publishers when they see they get like 1 penny for their clicks. But, such is life. We are doing our best.
Let me know what you want to do, if you contact me when you have your ad pending and I approve it right then, and it's approved, you can add to the balance at any time to keep it topped up without needing to get it approved again, so it is permanent unless you change it's URL. If there are variations to the URLs you want to advertise, submit a few of them so you have them all approved and you can leave them paused for later. The thing I like about your page is that it doesn't contain any visuals that someone would find offensive right off the bat.
Talk to you soon!

All right, so Richard is busy but I have the back story of your complaint. So first off, you can't withdraw a gift voucher, unfortunately. What I would suggest is that you just use the voucher on a small ad campaign and we will get someone to approve it for you.
Thanks for your co-operation.
Matt.
---------------------------------
Me <[email protected]> Fri, Aug 9, 2013 at 5:10 PM
To: Matthew Boyd <[email protected]>
Okay, but what about the bitcoins that wasn't a gift voucher? Can you please refund them.
I sent 0.05 BTC to you. They didn't show up in my account. I contacted Richard, he put 0.05 BTC in my account and gave me 0.1 BTC for my trouble (but not really, since you can't withdraw a "gift voucher" apparently).
He said my site was OK to advertise via mail. I created a test campaign worth 0.05 BTC (leaving 0.1 BTC left in my account) and waited for it to be approved. After some days it disappeared with no trace, I didn't get a single visitor. The campaign also don't show up in history on my account. Meanwhile those 0.05 BTC disappeared without a trace and my account now only has 0.1 BTC instead of the 0.15 BTC it should have.
I try to clear up this mess by contacting you guys and I don't hear from you from several days, and now when I FINALLY do I get "sorry but we can't give you your money back" thrown in my face.
I can use the fake 0.1 BTC voucher to make an ad campaign later, but to be honest I don't expect much since last time I tried the ad campaign didn't even show up and you just reduced my account balance with 0.05 BTC.
But for now at least give me my original 0.05 BTC back? Those are the real bitcoins I did send to you in the first place that magically disappeared from my account balance after my ad campaign disappeared (I sent the 0.05 BTC to 18o4uzXXeGAXDrmGTGzxG6PwRts2PfCPhw if you want to look it up). Please. The return address is as follows:

I understand your empathy. Richard sent you the voucher as a condolence, he did it for everyone. It it commonly known that you cannot exchange gift vouchers for real money, that applies in all shops. As for the 0.05, I will see about getting that back. I myself don't get in contact with Richard all that much. Also, they are no "fake bitcoins" feel free to use them on a campaign. From what I heard from Richard, he said that you put up a campaign, but it was disapproved for some reason via one of the moderators. He then offered to personally approve an ad of your choice. I believe this offer still stands. Thanks for bearing with us. I will try and get this sorted as soon as possible for you.
Thanks,
Matt.

Me <[email protected]> Sat, Aug 10, 2013 at 1:32 AM
To: Matthew Boyd <[email protected]>
If this is true my account should have 0.15 BTC, where 0.05 BTC is not from the voucher.
If the campaign was disapproved by a mod it should be in the "history", correct? That's logical. What would also be logical is to get the 0.05 BTC back into the account since it didn't get spent if the campaign was refused (but since the history is blank I guess your system bugged/glitched).
He may have offered to approve an ad of my choice, but he also said, and I quote: "I will happily refund your balance AND give you the credit for your initial campaign". I do wish to get refunded since at this time I don't feel CoinURL is stable enough for me.
I can't believe how hard you make it for me just to get back my measly 0.05 BTC. It's such a low amount that if it was me I would have sent it back immediately. Is this how you treat all of your customers? Something is wrong with your system and you're making me pay for it. Just refund the 0.05 BTC and be done with it please. The time it has taken is ridiculous already.

That's not good enough. I've been waiting a long time now and are tired of waiting.
If what you say is true and you are an employee of CoinURL (and you are not really actually Richard or whatever his real name is) I warn you about your job. An employer that cant even take care of his customers won't be able to take care of his employees (meaning you won't get paid).
At this time I can only declare for sure that CoinURL is, in fact, a scam and people must be warned.

Sure, I'll try my best, like you, I've been trying to get a hold of him for a while. I'll get right on it, and on behalf of CoinUrl, I sincerely apologize about what has happened and I hope that this won't happen again.
Thanks, Matt.

All right, so Richard is busy but I have the back story of your complaint. So first off, you can't withdraw a gift voucher, unfortunately. What I would suggest is that you just use the voucher on a small ad campaign and we will get someone to approve it for you.
Thanks for your co-operation.
Matt.

Okay, but what about the bitcoins that wasn't a gift voucher? Can you please refund them.
I sent 0.05 BTC to you. They didn't show up in my account. I contacted Richard, he put 0.05 BTC in my account and gave me 0.1 BTC for my trouble (but not really, since you can't withdraw a "gift voucher" apparently).
He said my site was OK to advertise via mail. I created a test campaign worth 0.05 BTC (leaving 0.1 BTC left in my account) and waited for it to be approved. After some days it disappeared with no trace, I didn't get a single visitor. The campaign also don't show up in history on my account. Meanwhile those 0.05 BTC disappeared without a trace and my account now only has 0.1 BTC instead of the 0.15 BTC it should have.
I try to clear up this mess by contacting you guys and I don't hear from you from several days, and now when I FINALLY do I get "sorry but we can't give you your money back" thrown in my face.
I can use the fake 0.1 BTC voucher to make an ad campaign later, but to be honest I don't expect much since last time I tried the ad campaign didn't even show up and you just reduced my account balance with 0.05 BTC.
But for now at least give me my original 0.05 BTC back? Those are the real bitcoins I did send to you in the first place that magically disappeared from my account balance after my ad campaign disappeared (I sent the 0.05 BTC to 18o4uzXXeGAXDrmGTGzxG6PwRts2PfCPhw if you want to look it up). Please. The return address is as follows:

I understand your empathy. Richard sent you the voucher as a condolence, he did it for everyone. It it commonly known that you cannot exchange gift vouchers for real money, that applies in all shops. As for the 0.05, I will see about getting that back. I myself don't get in contact with Richard all that much. Also, they are no "fake bitcoins" feel free to use them on a campaign. From what I heard from Richard, he said that you put up a campaign, but it was disapproved for some reason via one of the moderators. He then offered to personally approve an ad of your choice. I believe this offer still stands. Thanks for bearing with us. I will try and get this sorted as soon as possible for you.
Thanks,
Matt.

If this is true my account should have 0.15 BTC, where 0.05 BTC is not from the voucher.
If the campaign was disapproved by a mod it should be in the "history", correct? That's logical. What would also be logical is to get the 0.05 BTC back into the account since it didn't get spent if the campaign was refused (but since the history is blank I guess your system bugged/glitched).
He may have offered to approve an ad of my choice, but he also said, and I quote: "I will happily refund your balance AND give you the credit for your initial campaign". I do wish to get refunded since at this time I don't feel CoinURL is stable enough for me.
I can't believe how hard you make it for me just to get back my measly 0.05 BTC. It's such a low amount that if it was me I would have sent it back immediately. Is this how you treat all of your customers? Something is wrong with your system and you're making me pay for it. Just refund the 0.05 BTC and be done with it please. The time it has taken is ridiculous already.

As I have stated before, I am not in control of any of the money or refunds in CoinUrl, I only deal with complaints. I am trying my best to get hold of Richard as I have a thing or two to tell him so please bear with me.
Thanks, Matt.

That's not good enough. I've been waiting a long time now and are tired of waiting.
If what you say is true and you are an employee of CoinURL (and you are not really actually Richard or whatever his real name is) I warn you about your job. An employer that cant even take care of his customers won't be able to take care of his employees (meaning you won't get paid).
At this time I can only declare for sure that CoinURL is, in fact, a scam and people must be warned.
---------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the story of how CoinURL stole my bitcoins. It wasn't that much but a warning should be issued to the community so that it doesn't happen to more people.
Here's how it went down:
+ I put bitcoins into my account on CoinURL.
+ Something "strange" happens to that my bitcoins magically disappear with no trace.
+ The supports tries to be helpful but gives more and more bad news.
+ All of the sudden the guy that handles refunds can't be reached.
+ I'm adviced to wait (forever).
This is a common scam strategy that involves:
+ A friendly face (in order to avoid the customer from realizing that he has been scammed).
+ Waiting (eventually the customer gives up and thinks "it wasn't that much money anyway").
I will post my e-mail conversation with the support. Bear with me since it is a bit long (but not too long if you want to be avoid being put in a situation like this).
It all began after I made an account and made a deposit. The homepage stated that 0 confirmations were required, yet nothing shows up after waiting a long while. That's when I contact support...
(E-mails are unedited, except for changing my name and mail address.)
