Topic: Igot.com exchange is a scam (Read 3571 times)

I'd say that as soon as his ASIC chips are delivered, he'll be able to sell them and return most the moneys borrowed from the exchange minus what he'll report hacked 18 months from now à la Cryptsy via an "Oopsie!" blog post.

Okay maybe "serious" is the wrong term. I'm attempting to convey that it's coverage focused directly on the problem the many iGot customers are facing, as opposed to a general overview of Bitcoin exchange problems where iGot's simply mentioned in amongst the dozens of other failures that have occurred. I don't think they took the claims 'Rick Day' makes of it being a temporary issue at face value. The reporter did push him reasonably hard on the phone call, but there are limits on what a media organisation can do. I think it will take everyone affected to really ramp up their reporting of inabilities to get their money back to the various authorities that will bring greater awareness.

It's amazing (to me) that there are people that would send bitcoin (or even fiat for goodness sake) to an exchange with out doing a basic check of Bitcointalk or Reddit first to see what others' experiences are. However there are many naive people out there unaware that crypto is (mostly) still unregulated. And it's these new people that are still being trapped in Rick Day's web and that's a travesty for these people, Bitcoin and crypto in general.

He's clearly a very dishonest and shady operator and if you're reading this 'Rick' you're damaging this industry and causing untold grief for many people that put their trust in you. Come clean and fix the mess you've created.

That is not a serious expose at all. It's nice to get some coverage, but they took the claim that it is a temporarily, new problem at face value when there have been people saying they can't get their coins or cash for like a year.

The iGot scam hit the mainstream media in Australia yesterday with a serious investigative expose on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's 7:30 current affairs and news program.

Watch the embedded video to see what has been broadcast.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS EXCHANGE AS YOU WILL MOST LIKELY NEVER SEE YOUR FUNDS AGAIN.

If you're already embroiled in the web of broken promises and lies that characterises everything Rick Day does, contact the relevant authorities and lodge formal reports about what money you're owed.

funny thing is i spoke to Daniel and guess what he left igot

Right now someone is posting this onto reddit [looks like an attempt at damage control] - please speak publicly about your experiences as well.


Call me crazy but isnt tradefortress also from AU?  probably tin foil hattery that its somehow the same person, i'm not sure.

It amazes me how many people fall for these new companys that just POP up with too good to be true offers. I don't advise using this exchange, go for VIRWOX or Cryptsy.

Hi

This is my first post and I am also a victim of Igot.  I have over Aus $10,000 with Igot bitcoins that they will not transfer.  It is driving my crazy.  I got made redundant and cannot afford to lose my savings as well. 

The fact that they are still accepting incoming tfrs and $ is even worse.  I too feel very stupid as I took a recommendation off a friend that igot were legit.

Very expensive lesson to learn.  These guys need shutting down as there must be hundreds if not thousands of victims out there. 

Say they have 2500 clients (thats just the number of likes on their fb page) say they hold an average of 5 coins each = AUS $5million.  It is sickening.

If anyone is pursuing this legally or have had any success getting their funds out recently I would like to hear from them

Hi,

Mybe I sould have done my homework first, of course you are rigth. That's not help, but your are rigth.
But I wrote this post to talk about my stupid entrusting about igot to help another people in the same problem and to aware future traders that would do the same stupid thing i have done.

For a scammed like me is no easy and funny to talk about my wrong decisions, but it is necessary to get public.

Thank you for your opinion.

"But, but, but... The forum was down that day, so me tooketh me chances."

There was this thread about igot and you could've just respond there. I believe that the OP of the first thread have around $16,000 in pending with igot. You could have done your homework first before entrusting them with your money.

"Because of bank. Please me patient."
Why no bitcoins withdrawal payments?"
"Because of bank. Why you no trust us?"
