I paid 2btc for a car online to another person, he had good pics and everything but it is 3weeks late on delivery and he stopped responding to me. I can't find the right number of email to contact bitcoin company for a refund, can someone point me in the right direction. I couldn't find anything on bitcoin.com for refunds.

Not many places we can buy car using bitcoins so how did you trusted someone who you found online.As everyone saying you got scammed and 2 bitcoin is very huge amount with the current price you might asked before sending those bitcoin for some suggestion. Embarrassed

This is the feature that Bitcoin borrowed from paper money. If you gave your cash to someone and this seller disappeared then it would be pretty hard for you to find him. At least your transaction would not be traced. The same thing is happening with BTC. Now we got reversible online money like PayPal and irreversible like Bitcoin.

Darn, that guy had an instant money like with just some sales talk and few effort he has now sitting on his 2btc.
This is literally 'lesson learned in the hard and expensive way".

Nothing on online world is surreal and not everyone that you met can be trusted so if you sense that something isn't right better to get your ass off before it's too late.

This thread shows why bitcoin is far away from being a payment option for the masses. People compare it to standard bank transfers and want to have support if anything unexpectedly happens. This is something Bitcoin wont have in the near future, but desperatly needed if we really want, that every non-tech savy guy can use it.

@OP ... I am very sorry that you got scamed and lost your coins. Next time you may use an escrow service which is a third person or company ensuring that the car really exists and the seller really gets his coins.

Bitcoin transaction can not be reversed and I will suggest you to contact the local authorities about it. (Do not tell me now that you never saw the car in real, never met the person and still transferred 2 btc on promise of future delivery.)

฿itcoin for all, All for ฿itcoin.

If he stopped responding to you then chances are that you got scammed. The car was probably not there. Bitcoin transactions being irreversible and unregulated so far, this makes it so much targeted by scammers since it's hard to trace them and bring them to the books.

Sorry but i think chances of you recovering your money are very slim.

Payment Gateway Allows Recurring Payments

Do you know the guy you deal with personally? if you didn't know him personally, you shouldn't paid him in advance when you haven't done any traditional agreement and no signing of papers for that TX. How did you contacted him before? you mean to say that he just asked you to pay him through bitcoin and you sent him quickly? as mentioned, bitcoin transactions can't be undone.

Bitcoin is not a company. Bitcoin.com is.

Unlike PayPal and other payment methods, bitcoin is irreversible, contacting the wallet provider you used won't help you sadly as your coins are probably sent elsewhere already.

I'm not sure about the details and where you got scammed, but maybe you could make a thread in the scam accusation section to make people aware of the service/person who scammed you.

Hi, there is not a way to refund these after they have been sent unless it is before it is confirmed, your best bet is to find the person that did this and after that bill him or sue him, there are a lot of factors in this matter, for example, if you are American you would have a very strong case.

you can often trace bitcoin addresses to their owners.

Cheers

Bitcoin transaction aren't reversible. Sorry buddy, you have been scammed. Anybody can get a good pics of any car of their choice from the web and claim they have those cars in their possession. Next time don't make a business deal just because you see good pics of the goods you intend buying. As far the "suppose seller" have disconnected all communication with you. It's a scam therefore getting a refund won't be possible and bitcoin can't be refunded unless the receiver is willing to partake in that process

Although out of curiosity, when you say online what do you mean, social media or website, what's the name? also can you drop the transaction ID to the paid btc maybe the address can be traced (not guaranteed though)
