blockchain.info provides no customer support from what I've seen. If I create a wallet account, with my iphone the password doesn't work the next time I log in. I tested it 5 times. Lost a lot of coins because of it. They just refer people to bitcointalk..

I have gotten excellent support from them every time I have needed it and usually through email. They helped me find a couple of lost wallets that had a total of about 800 btc earlier this year. I gave him a nice fat donation because of it too. Seriously, one of THE best companies when it comes to customer support.


And this thread is really ridiculous anyways... Calling "SCAM" for 6 bucks is rather pathetic.

My situation involved over a thousand dollars, I originally got a brush off email to contact bitcointalk. When I reported that every time a account was created with my iphone the password would not work on the next log in, I never even received a email back. It sounds like you just lost your identifier or something simple. My issue would require some actual work on their part. The fact that someone can create a account and use it for months without knowing that one day they will be locked out because the password encryption was done wrong. Seems like a major security problem to me, and just ignoring it seems negligent.

I think the OP needs a scammer tag for scamming us into thinking that this was a legitimate scam accusation.

Oh give me a break.

Scammer tag for AndrewBUD for asking for a break in such a delicate situation!  Grin

I think he just wanted a kit-kat bar

It's good forum etiquette to mark this as resolved if its so. You almost had me panicking and draw my $0.07 out from blockchain.info  Tongue

You weren't scammed. Having worked with SMS payment gateways many times before, I can tell you for a fact that SMS payments are seriously unreliable & break all the time. This looks like a problem with Blockchain's SMS payment provider. I'm sure BC.info will get back to you and resolve this soon, just give them a bit more time.

Blockchain info clearly states on their website that they can't see your transactions.  They also warn against the high cost of using premium SMS services.

Sounds like you're using Optus pre-paid mobile.  SMS charges to premium - 19 - services are very high and Australian carriers frequently have problems with short SMS codes.

Go online to your Optus My Account - that should tell you specifically what the charge is for.

Where is the proof that you lost $6? Please show me the statement. So far I have to say one thing:

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
SMSing balance and showing I have $6.6 less credit?

My plan is divided into many different things - optus money (phone calls, sms, etc), credit (used if you run out of anything or for sms payments), data.. credit was decreased after they charged me for an error message.

Zappay finally responded to my email asking for my country code..

In my experiences, this kind of SMS payment system is not very stable. I believe this will be solved.
