Topic: [RESOLVED] Is CampBX a ripoff? - page 2. (Read 16220 times)

Ah, I see. thanks

Geremia, this record is for "Whoisguard" company, which is an intermediary protector for the domain CampBX.com.  CampBX is based in Alpharetta, GA.

We have recovered all BTCs from D-DoS time and resolved those tickets in February.  Your issue may be something different and our sys admin will review and resolve it shortly. 

From the whois database for "campbx.com":


Would anyone like to call long-distance to Panama?

Is there a class action lawsuit against CampBX? I've seen on other threads here that people have lost tens of thousands to them.

Yes, Coinbase is awesome, and they seem trustworthy. I've spoken to one of its employees before.

it's been 3+ months, and CampBX still hasn't "found" my "lost" BTC I sent them; it went "lost" because the transaction verified after the address they generated for me "expired". They said months ago they would "waive" the $150 "recovery fee" and find my missing BTC within 2 weeks, but then they went silent. They are a scam!

They haven't ripped me off.  I completed a USPS deposit, purchased BTC and withdrew to my account it took 5 days from the time I dropped the letter in the PO till I moved the 1.5 BTC to my wallet.  They don't seem to be able to solve people's issues in a timely manner though.  I believe the BTC market makers would benefit from an insurance of some sort - similar to SIPC [Securities Investor Protection Corporation] but independent from gov regulation.

I have 3 ACH pending and I just saw this on their withdrawal page..

Our ACH and WIRE provider has made a business decision to not work with Bitcoins and Bitcoin companies due to regulatory uncertainty and recent spate of negative news for Bitcoins. We are working to find a replacement partner and resume these two services for our customers. In the meantime, please use alternate deposit or withdrawal methods available on CampBX.
 ­
All transfers that have not yet been processed by our ACH and WIRE provider will be refunded to your CampBX account before 5 PM EST on Saturday, February 1 2014. Our team will be working round the clock to ensure all refunds are processed correctly and on schedule.

All USD and BTC balances are accounted for. If you are in urgent need of funds, we recommend you to purchase Bitcoins and withdraw them to your personal wallet.
We will resume ACH and WIRE operations once we have a new partner on-board. We will update this page and our news feed as soon as we have additional information about a tangible implementation date.

What are alternatives to move BTC to USD in the US??

Agree with mrhelpful.
Good luck to all those affected.

In short, this is red flags all over.

I'd literally be pulling as much as I could out of there ASAP with this news, and another guy in service announcements forum said the same thing.

Did you try 510-545-3987
http://www.manta.com/c/mx3x6lq/bulbul-investments-llc

I called it 2 days ago and no answer or voicemail. I also tried emailing [email protected] and it bounced. I submitted a support ticket 2 days ago and nothing yet.

I've been converting my BTC to $s there since May and have had no problems for 16 withdrawals, until now. In the last 9 days I've made two ACH withdrawals to the same account as always and nothing. My credit union researched it from their side and called that phone # and learned nothing.

I'm in shock by the phrase: 'Said that they removed $2500 and put it aside'
imagine that you go to bank and bank say - you very rich and in this case we put your money in our pockets.

I did get a response on this (the ACH transfer) finally, Sonny V said there was a problem with the bank account number, and the balance would be back in my CampBX account in 5-7 business days. Good to know that there are responses sometimes. However still waiting, it's been a lot longer than 7 business days already. We shall see. 

6 weeks for me and they're holding on to my $1,000 after cashing my money orders and claiming they never saw them. This is a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.

Thanks

I'm having a different problem with CampBX - can't get money out through ACH (Direct Deposit).
Anyone else having issues with ACH withdrawals?

1. I initiated an ACH withdrawl of 532.04 on 10-25-2013. Executed on the system at 18:03:42 (per the history).
2. Opened ticket number YXZ-251-46719 on 11-2-2013. Sonny V replied, said it should be close, please wait and closed the issue.
3. Wrote back, no response.
4. Opened ticket number TZK-127-99217 on 11-14-2013. Sonny V replied, said the treasurer will look into it. No acknowledgement or replies to any of my emails back though. No response since then.

It's now been 30 days with 532.04 missing.
Any advice on what to do next?

I am currently having a similar issue with them at the moment. $1,000 in money orders (2 x $500) were deposited by them on 10/25 and were cashed by MoneyGram on 10/30. The money should have been credited to my account on the 10/29 (2 business days after the 10/25), but this has still not happened. According to the ticket replies, they cannot find the money orders in their bank records and therefore won't credit me the money - even though I have copies of the money orders with the deposit date, batch number, etc., showing that the deposit did occur. The money orders had everything necessary on them (username, name, address, etc.) in very legible handwriting as well.

At the moment, I am waiting for their bank (BofA) to do "research" to find the missing money orders. The problem is, according to various posts on this site, my case does not appear to be an isolated one, and that raises a huge red flag - bank deposits just don't disappear, even on an irregular basis, for the same bank customer.

It has been 60 days since I had a dispute with CampBx which they claimed they never received my MO.  The USPS MO Inquiry shows that they not only received my MO but cashed as well.  When I went to their Facebook page and posted as well as place a ticket they told me it should be resolved by Monday.  I haven't received a response.  I've waited long enough for them to make things right.  The customer service is down right atrocious and has left me no choice but to file a BBB complaint against this company.  Just in case anyone is curious here is what BBB has report about them...
