I hope you have bought from a good reputable source like bitstamp, localbitcoin, bitpanda , websites of such caliber. If you have bought from some not so well known website, I hope you receive your coins but this time waiting more than 2 days worries me.

Yeah, sounds like author used some scam website that try to pretend be exchange where in fact they are not.
Well i hope u will receive your bitcoins, you need only to give ur public key to receive bitcoin.

You just need to give your public key (bitcoin address) and you should receive your coins.

Well, now I know there is nothing wrong with my wallet....I just boughtsome Bitcoin and sent to my electrum wallet in less than an hour.

BEST-BTC.com has not answered emails.

Should I start a thread with names and links to this scam?

It is important to be careful with new sites. I also advice you to make some research about the services and sites before you are going to use them.

charge back...is that viable option?
I think this guy required to gift money to family, so that's a problem.
Anyway, WE will have learned. I am not making this up.

Honestly i did not seen what site you've been scam can you share with us so that we can be aware of that site.
Or maybe you are putting a wrong address in your order that is why you did not receive any from the site you are mention similar to localbitcoin..

Ooh, shiny things!!

Their FAQ is written in very bad English. Contact PayPal and see if they can get you your money back asap. Even if you were to get your coins in the end, the risk of waiting and being scammed is far too great, and this looks like a scam to me.

I guess the one where you bought your coins seems to be scam. If you purchased using paypal, charge back now and try to regain the money you used to buy bitcoin. I suggest you you try to buy at a more reputable site next time like coinbase to avoid scam in the future. Sites that is not very reputable is often a scam site, which will make you sad in the end.

I'm sorry but you are probably getting scammed, the website looks fishy, you may want to chargeback and buy from a more reputable company unless you want to risk it, I wouldn't.

You can try coinbase if you want somethin reputable, bitstamp, etc.

Need some spare btc for a new PC

I'll suggest you to wait. I remember reading that bigger payments require up to 5 businesses days or 4, so just wait it'll show up soon

there is a box on electrum receive page called
"requested amount" mBTC
I left it blank, is that correct?

as i said you only need a bitcoin address. and that tab is giving you one of your bitcoin addresses from your wallet to receive bitcoin in. but it has some additional options based on BIP-21 that generates an special bitcoin URI that contains bitcoin address, a message, the requested amount and some more additional information and is used for "requesting payment"

Have faith.

To me ( a very first timer) all the companies, dealers, ect... so far are confusing and often self contradictory.... it ALL smells fishy, to me. Companies like localbitcoin you advise, I think are the worst. I dunno

Its hard for me

I would be worried. The site looks like it could be a scam.

For one, the Number Figures on the homepage are obviously not real. The address on the contact page I doubt is theirs, and there is no phone number on the site.

It COULD be legitimate, but you're left wondering aren't you? With no way to find them if they run with the money?

Usually is a scam then. Anytime you give your money to someone you don't know, you can get scammed.

Yup, almost certainly a scam.

Their terms and conditions are likely ripped off from other site(s) and not even relevant to their activity. They refer to themselves as "BEST-BTC LTD" which seems to be a made up name (company search gives no results). Moreover their address is in the US, any company registered in the US would have "Inc" or "LLC" suffix, not "Ltd".

They don't have any presence on this forum or on social media, which is not required, but it's strange that any legit bitcoin related business wouldn't use this as free advertising.

OP - start a dispute on paypal and try to get your money back.
