Title: Anyone using BuyBitcoin.com?
Post by: maxieBB on February 27, 2013, 07:42 pm
   [clearnet]  http://www.buybitcoin.com

I'm checkin' out this place to buy BTC. Anyone here using this service? It seems pretty straightforward and easy. Among one of the many deposit options, is depositing cash directly into one of their Banks....  they say it's completely anonymous & the bank teller won't ask for I.D.
  Bank of America
  Chase Bank
  Citibank
  HSBC Bank
  TD Bank
  Wells Fargo

What concerns me is....on their website sign up page, all required fields (noted with a *) must be completed, which ask for full name, address, phone number and email address. They say they protect their customers privacy but I'm not too comfortable disclosing a lot personal info.

Any feedback, insights, advice~ much appreciated    :-*

maxie,
    I was taken by BuyBitCoin and owner Bruce for over $400. I setup an account with him, did anonymous cash deposit, sent him a photo of deposit slip, as required. My money is showing in my account to this day, but the delivery date has passed by several weeks now.  I even reached Bruce by phone one lucky morning, and he promised the BTC would be forthcoming. Since that time, no BTC, and no further communication with the company, despite calling and leaving many messages, and sending quite a few email.
     Color me burned and pissed off!
