I would avoid BTCJam. Tulkas is bad business. He got mad at me for his service not stating things and for his withdraw script being broken. Like it's my fault he had a faulty withdraw script? Or is it my fault that he charges OVER 0.002 as a fee (so he said) to withdraw? Maybe it was my fault that it was not stated that there is even a fee?
My question from the first email sent was.. "I just want to know why I can not withdraw? Is it related to the amount of is this an issue with your service?" Also went on to mention it was not a big deal that I just wanted to know because in IE the withdraw page wouldn't pull up at all and on Firefox it would pull up but not work.
During the several days of Tulkas ignoring my support issue I opened a thread which finally received a response from Tulkas.
Tulkas said "Go waste someone else's time."... Yet it was his service that was at fault with hidden fees and a sloppy withdraw script that was not letting me withdraw.
Topic: Suspicious BTCjam account activity, Investigation pending. (Read 5713 times)
I have been credited by tulkas to the value of BTC (36.3) I was owed, I am happy Tulkas has keeped his word, I am not happy I have not had the I.P. details of the hacker yet, But I have my money. Because I am not owed anything, I have difficulty in obtaining information from BTCjam legally, Not impossible, Just hard, So I have decided to drop the matter as I have been re-embersed.
Regards all.
Regards all.
As of this moment, I have not had any money or contact, I have written to him and awaiting a reply.
I can now act on a debt to me.
EDIT - I have contacted mods and sent relevant information.

I have been contacted.
I'm really sorry for your trouble, but dont worry i've already promised to pay you even personally if we don't find the problem.
Still no I.P. address, All I can do legally is wait until just after the 10th may 2013, I cant do anything until I am actually owed this BTC.

Tulkas is now no longer responding to my messages about giving me details, I have confirmed that there are no data protection rights in his area, Even though Tulkas has said I will get my money, Even from his own pocket, (I am due payment on 10th May) I am doubtful I will see anything, I would like Tulkas to prove me wrong, But just in case My solicitor is about to make his move! 
Tulkas why won't you provide the I.P ?
If someone hacked in any data privacy laws, you have made up aren't applicable.
All the "hacks" that occured and noone can provide the I.P have been inside jobs.......... just saying is all.
You obviously know who the hacker is if you do not want to (notice I didn't use the word can't) provide the I.P
Did you perhaps give your admin account details to a chinese relic collector ?

O.K. This is the latest, After some backwards and forwards e-mails, I don't think tulkas will release the information I want, However I have had this from him.
My payment in question is due the 10th May 2013, I would like it noted, I have been polite with Tulkas, I HAVE NOT accused him directly/publicly of scamming me, He has admitted this payment belongs to me, And has now accepted liability of this payment.
After many e-mail's back and forth, My solicitor is still reading up on bitcoin and the laws it brings into question, If nothing else comes of this we have another in our fold LOL
You will get it, don't worry, I'm just tracing the note back because the person who brought your stolen investment paid the hacker the full price. That's why we don't accept anonymous note trending anymore.
If I can't get the payment back the bitcoin will come from our pocket.
Regards,
Celso.

Update, I am still missing the biggest payment to me, I am actually worried now, Tulkas was able to change back the payments to me in an hour, now this has taken a week plus and time is running out, I know who holds the payments now.
After much phoning/e-mails around lots of solicitors in his area, Lots are not willing to even think about it, Due to not knowing what bitcoins are, I have spoken to one who is interested in the idea, But does not know where it stands from a legal point of view, So he is doing some research into bitcoins and BTCjam's disclaimer to see what he can come up with.

You didn't lose anything.
This is only occurring to your account and we are solving the problem the same day it is reported. I will lock the facebook and google logins for your account, they are probably compromised.
The payments will be transferred again to you.

I lost everything on my page?
I rotate passwords on everything regularly, I have 2PA on Google too.
Like how this is telling me it's my fault.
Do/did you have a keylogger?
I had a dodgy e-mail
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/squall1066-156768
This is why I re-streamed, I caught it just in time (e-mail came through as I was online!), And I changed all my passwords immediately.

Sorry for the regular posts, I just need this noted to inform you and keep a record for me, Tulkas has insisted that all account information is there and I will get the payments, I have sent another screenshot (full screen) of everything that I see, I would put it here but there is too much of my dealings there to make public.
P.S. its expensive just phoning solicitors in Brazil, If your in the area and can do some foot work for me, please get in touch.

2 days on, Still waiting, I am also getting in touch with some Brazilian solicitors to see what my options are.
After changing my passwords My future payment's have gone again.
EDIT - Said all was ok his end, I sent a screenie of my account saying 0.00 pending in Receivables, so just waiting to see whats going on.

@Augusto Croppo, I would consider "heavy fees" to get to the bottom of this, Does it matter that the servers apparently are in

That is just the storage of the data. What really mater is who controls the data, in this case a Brazilian company:
http://www.receita.fazenda.gov.br/PessoaJuridica/CNPJ/cnpjreva/Cnpjreva_Solicitacao.asp
Let us know when/if they disclose the IP.
I have herd some concerns from other users of BTCjam, I'm asking them to post here if they are willing, Best have this in one place for reference.
Also, I could not change my password in settings until I asked Tulkas to look into it, Then it came up, Something is not right here.

I just had 1.21768806 in my account, refreshed page and had 0.04938906 Left. Did not make a payment or buy any notes.
Also, I cant withdrawal because im behind, so where the hell did the BTC go?
Weenfan and I were working on some notes together to get some payments squared away, and they just disappeared in a few seconds with no knowledge or trace of where they went.
Luckily I was able to make some payment once I sold some notes, But still, im missing a bit over 1 BTC.

I am unlocking this thread to state that Tulkas was unhappy with the title
As I asked for I.P. details of the account, Which was refused ( I believe was right due to the data protection act) How do I know that it was my password rather than a site hack?

Would you care to change the name of the topic you created, this will cause panic on our users and I dont think its fair since BTCJam was not hacked!!!

No, it was not due the data protection act. The company behind the btcjam.com Internet page is Brazilian. The legislation regarding personal data in Brazil is not in effect. So if you got that as excuse, they lied to you.

Can you at least tell me if you have a record of my password being entered from another I.P. If so, I might be able to acquire them legally.
Yes, they have this kind of record. Refusal to cooperate with you is a sign of a potential inside job.
You are not going to obtain that information legally, except if you decide to pay heavy fees to Brazilian solicitors.

I stopped lending here a while ago when I seen the scamms and such bad protection and no enforcement of collection, All I am doing is trying to keep my account safe until I have received all the last payments due to me.
I shall leave this unlocked for you to discuss? Am I wrong with my title? Am I not entitled to my views?

Yes, leave it unlocked. It seem that btcjam.com is becoming a front line for suspicious financial activities. You made well to bring this case to the Internet public attention.
My BTC jam was hacked and all my future payments was sold to the same user for one satoshi.
I urge everyone to check their account, I am working with Tulkas to revert the selling.
I urge everyone to ask Tulkas to disable this feature until there is more security on the site for logging on.
