Both egopay.com and virtex.com are now down (and probably gone forever)
If anyone has more info on the crooks behind these two sites, CEO Mantas Gustys and founder Tadas Kasputis, please post here or contact via PM. We are working on getting law enforcement to pursue the matter since they have so far not contacted any of their users with a proposal to pay us back what they stole.
The heist has already been reported to the FBI by longtime user bitboy11.

I see. Thank you for info.

The people who created EgoPay are the same people who also went on to later create Virtex.com, which is a bitcoin exchange that has not paid out anything or allowed its users to withdraw any money for the past month.
The site is still up and it appears to be active. But those of us who are verified users (such as myself) can simply just not get our money out. Fiat withdrawals don't work and requests for BTC withdrawals are also ignored.

Sorry what exactly is "Egopay's Virtex.com scheme" you mentioned?
(Sorry if I sound bitter, but I am one of the many who have lost money with Egopay's Virtex.com scheme and who is still waiting for payment)

Indeed, there does seem to be still some SELECTIVE activity by EgoPay and Virtex. They pay their friends, and those they want to keep quiet. And somehow the worst part of the situation is that they themselves are quiet: They do not communicate to anyone what is going on. There is no way to contact them. And support requests remain unanswered.
All the hallmarks of thieves and scammers that should not be trusted. Not now, not forever.

Why do you still have all EgoPay Links active on your Website, are you affraid of getting nothing back, in Case, something is still around?
Or then, I imagine, you are out of problems !?

Just few words to your post. Why do you think that address or phone contact is so important? Lets take look at one example: MtGox, they did have address, phone number, physical building, and so what? Did not people lost everything there, including us? Address on website means nothing. It will not protect your money.
We will not remove EgoPay links while EgoPay is still here. Some of pending payments were completed, so there is still activity.
Once they close website down, we will permanently delete all EgoPay links. Until then we wait and see what will be the next steps of EgoPay.

We can confirm also the same.
It looks very suspicious now, still waiting what will happen next.

One single Thing, I will never understand.
How in the World would an honest Business keep it's Founds in a fully unknown Wallet, at a fully unknown Address, exept for an url, registrered to a fully unnkown, hidden, individual, With NOTHING on their Website, informing about anyting valuable or simply usable, and expecting such a place to be a trustworthy Business Partner
Are you Fellows all plain Nut's or something? Or simply blind, hampered by silly Expectations of getting rich quick?
Must be a really sick World, outthere, somewhere, in the Bitcoin Territory. There is just no other way to explain such behaviour. Sorry...

I am a user of both EgoPay and of the bitcoin exchange Virtex.com which is also owned by Egopay founder Tadas Kasputis (who started it with fellow Lithuanians Paulius Meskauskas, Tomas Andzelis and Mantas Gustys.)
For the past ten days I've been unable to get any funds out. Both my fiat withdrawal requests and my BTC withdrawal requests are stuck, and support staff is completely silent. However, at the moment Virtex is still active and trading: But just not paying any funds out to its victims.

Virtex.com is hacked too and they won't pay anybody...

it is confirmed. Egopay was hacked and then the owners ran with the money. they are saying that the management is changing just to earn some time.
millions are missing. very curious why only a part of their exchangers came to public until now. I think they are still hoping to get some funds back from Egopay but NO chance .

We can confirm also the same. Problem is that EgoPay is not responding to our emails, skype contact is offline so there is no way to contact them. What happened more is that Egopay has frozen 90% of our funds. They created new wallet 'Frozen wallet' and moved 90% of our funds into it. We cannot now spend it anymore.

This is a really serious problem!

We confirm, that EgoPay was hacked, all that wrote bitmarket.pl did happen to us as well, but as the identifications of payments were similar, our security system let through only 2 transactions and the other ones were blocked automatically. After checking we contacted EgoPay and till now have no response...
how do you confirm? i'm curious

you're not alone in this situation.
I think we should unite and push EgoPay for it's shit security and get our losses recouped by EgoPay or ruin their reputation.

We are giving EgoPay another 24 hours to make appropriate amends in this situation before we go public high profile. I chatted briefly with Mr. Arthur from EgoPay on Skype this morning and I am awaiting his detailed response.

I wonder how much did you lose in the end?
We would like not to disclose our losses publicly at this moment. They are not a threat to our company financial situation, but they are serious enough for us to pursue all kinds of actions if necessary.
Quote from: talk2bit
did you check each transaction in EgoPay system before commiting auto-payment to hackers?
To verify transactions we used the code in EgoPaySci.class.php which they have available for download. Their transaction server was hacked, so the transactions were reported as valid by their API server.
