Title: BTCKing - first experience
Post by: nomorecereal on September 26, 2012, 05:38 pm
I've seen quite a few posts touting the quality of assistance they have provided to beginners. Unfortunately, this was not my experience.

After receiving the deposit instructions I went to the designated bank and began filling out a deposit slip. That's when I noticed the slip asks for more information than BTCKing gave. The slip also allows for 13 digit account numbers, while the account number BTCKing gave was only 10 digits.

Not wanting to feel like an idiot at the teller window, I left. I'll clarify this point. The deposit slip wanted to know what kind of account the money was going into -- I don't know. Also, a full address was requested, which I don't have. Maybe the answers to these questions don't matter, but if they don't, I think BTCKing could indicate that in their instructions. A simple, "Some deposit slips ask for more information than we provide; that is fine, just fill in what we give to you and you should be okay", would have done the trick. Filled-out and scanned examples of deposit slips would be even better.

I emailed BTCKing and indicated the discrepancies between the information requested on the deposit slip and the information given to me. I received several replies:

BTCKing: Sir, after 4000 deposits it is not that difficult..You can get assistance from the teller, it is very easy!!

ME: Wow. What I heard was, "I'm not going to help you.". That's fine. Thanks anyway.

BTCKing: All the bank is interested in on the deposit slip is account number and account name..All the rest leave blank.... Please, our paymaster accepts many, many deposits for payment from many business and this is no different and totally legit. The bank is more than willing if you are uncapable of filling a deposit slip or you can actually do it verbally......BK

BTCKing: Sir, not at all...Please do not be presumptuous..It is very easy just follow the instructions that everyone else does...Would you like for me to cancel your order?
