E-gold exchanger is a Scammer site

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Do not deposit your e-gold in Goldxcash.com account. It is a scam with open mouth on the Internet, waiting to gobble your e-gold money.

WARNING: They are using Capitalex.com template for this heinous activity.

gungho9, it sounds like you`ve had a bad experience with this exchanger. It`d be nice though if you could furnish some facts with your statement to add some validity to your comments.

Yeah, I'm curious myself as to what happened, gungho9, because I just found this site via a google search and posted about it in this folder a day or two ago.

They do out-exchange to Pay Pal, and that's going to be a big draw.

Geoff,

I was foolish enough to exchange the sum of $171 on 8th August with GoldxCash.com without making a check on its background. Yes, they are listed in Google, that's where I got their URL.

I found it odd after making the deposit, because there was no immediate confirming email from them. Anyway, I emailed them a day later and a few more emails followed, still no reply till today. I still check my account in my local bank, hoping against hope. My money is gone for sure.

I approached E-gold for help, thinking they could investigate and maybe could revert payment. But no reply (till today) from E-gold. Typical of E-Gold.

Thanks for that, gungho9. Not responding to your emails is very poor customer relations, and there`s little excuse for that.

Does anyone else have any experiences at all with GoldxCash.com?

Geoff

I know this is a pretty old thread, but I thought I'd chime in anyway after finding this forum through an internet search. I was also gullible enough to send these idiots (GoldxCash.com) a little over $100 USD in E-gold to be converted to Paypal. It's been over 3 weeks now - no money, not even a single email. They claim on their site that the process is supposed to take less than 2 hours and that they have "great customer service". These guys must be comedians.

If anybody has any suggestions on who/where I could possibly report them to - I'd appreciate it.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate your help. I'll definitely be using some of those sites. I doubt I'll be able to recover the money either, but at least I can warn some people if nothing else.

Dear fellow surfers

Sorry not having given information since some days because i was very busy since my last email and above all i had a hope to (at least) get my egold account funded by Capitalex !

Unfortunately, it was an illusion and a trick from them !

Actually, following my anti Capitalex campaign since the 22th of June
(remember that my wester union order to Capitalex should have been processed on the 21th of June !)
i received (at least) a mail from Capitalex on the 29th of June assuring that my account will be funded within days !
They (at least) sent me a checking link to verify my phone number,
I clicked immediatly on the link and received quickly an automated call giving me a code in order to fill a checking field on their site.
Soon after, i received an email telling me that my account will be funded within 2 or 3 days.

This checking email was sent on the 29th of June.... and we are on the 3th of July !

No a single sent was sent on my egold account !

My anti Capitalex campaign goes on !

Though I am sure Cap-X has many egold accounts, have you contacted egold to see about placing a hold on their accounts?

This so called Yelitza Cervantes is a scammer, a cheater organizing since years a big con.



She robbed my money.

Could you block any order to their name from now on ?



My lawyer has already filed complaints against them to the Panamean Judiciary Police.



These cheaters will be soon hauled to the Police Station.



My lawyer will soon get in touch with yours.



Thanks in advance

This thread is about GoldXCash (http://www.goldxcash.com). They are a scam and they stole some parts of the design of our website. Be careful!

Regarding marcphilip, his order was funded as soon as he fulfilled our ID requirements, and despite his many threats to slander us on public forums.


Posted by: golddust

Thank you for your report. I hope that marcphillip will confirm this here.


Posted by: Capitalex.com

You can tell that he was paid by the fact that he has fallen silent because he has achieved his aims.

That's the way most bullies operate: They attack and insult and make outrageous claims, and once they get what they want they disappear and don't even confirm that the problem has been resolved.

We processed his order as soon as he fulfilled our requirements, and we hope that he will choose a different company to abuse and badmouth in the future.

Not so silent after all. Looks like he was paid, but not so happy with how long it took. Perhaps it was an honest mistake, or was it some ID issues, or antagonism? I don't agree that he is a "bullie", but taking action to have his exchange attended to. Some people feel that drawing public attention to their problem serves a purpose to resolve their issues, and as a warning to others. Sometimes, in the end, this makes them look ridiculous.
Based on what marcphillip posted, his exchange was not completed expeditiously, nor is it clear all members are subject to your "ID requirements".
I expect Capitalex's explanation as to why it took so long to complete his exchange would be of benefit to this discussion. I note that you seem satisfied that the exchange was completed, but omit how long that took. Could be both parties have their faults?

Absolutely!

Here are the full details.

Within HOURS of having picked up his transfer, this client started inundating us with the wildest accusations and informed us of his coming publicity campaign, lawsuit and police report against us.

THAT is what caused the initial delay, because we have seen many scammers who operate exactly the same way (pressure tactics) and we have to make sure that we are not abused by these criminals. Every client who threatens us in any way is automatically given the chance to "cool off" for a few days while we complete our research.

After our initial investigation we concluded that Philippe is not a scammer and that he is just a rude person. As soon as he had finally sent us his ID and a copy of the Western Union receipt, we informed him that his order would be processed shortly, but not immediately, due to an e-gold shortage we had at the time due to prevailing market conditions. (We would have had sufficient e-gold at the time we received his transfer, but not at the time when we had completed his verification, which was several days later).

After being informed of the temporary e-gold shortage, the client actually INCREASED his campaign, insults and threats, so we proceeded to verify his phone number as well, just to be on the safe side. (Some scammers send made-up IDs or actually obtain real IDs of their victims)

Finally, after an additional delay, we funded his e-gold account in two installments, $4000 and $846.54. The second delay was due to a temporary confusion as to the amount received (our fault!).

In the absence of his threats and rude behavior none of these problems would have occurred and his account would have been funded in full very shortly after we picked up his transfer.

This is a tough world but sometimes it pays to be friendly, or at least not to launch preemptive attack on others who have done nothing to harm you.
MOD NOTE: Screen shot removed. For security precautions, please do NOT post egold account or batch information. Payments made to marcphillip on 7/6/06 and 7/10/06 are verified. It is not known if the amounts fulfill the exchange request.


PS: golddust, thanks for your reasonable comments and for keeping an open mind.

Capitalex.com - Thank you for providing additional information. It appears that this:
Quote:

, raises an obvious question then; is this stated in your TOS, and what constitutes a 'threat'?
And does a 'threat' provoke Capitalex to conduct research related to the requested exchange that would not otherwise occur? If so, is THIS also in your TOS?
Clarification by reference to a securely worded TOS is a good way to quell the actions/reactions of your clients.
FYI, please read the edit to your post above. It is curious to me that as someone in the "exchange" business would take the liberty to post a clients egold information. I realize that you were only proving payment was made, but doing so breeches your client's account information. As this is a public forum, we try to protect ecurrency information, and encourage our members to do the same.

Does anyone have any info on www.goldex.net. I have opened an account but have not funded it as yet. Since the Bank Wires are costly $40, plus the egold fee of 3.5%, I am considering sending a US Postal Money Order.

I would greatly appreciate all comments. Many Thanks, JS.


Posted by: golddust

I have used Goldex for many years and never had a problem. Previously, they used to permit Credit Card Orders. They have discontinued this option except for previously approved CC clients.
