# Scam website

 * STAY AWAY FROM THESE SCAMMERS.
 * They advertize fee for using this plugin as 1.5%.
 * Instead for the 3 transactions I used this, they took approximately ***10%***!!
 * Requests to be sent the outstanding BTC have been ignored for several days now.
 * Instead they have twice sent e-mails asking for ID, because they believe our 
   website is involved in selling drugs (even though it is clearly research chemicals,
   not for human use). Despite our insisting that we would no longer use the service.
   They probably collect ID for identity theft purposes.
 * Nothing to stop these scammers taking all your coins of course, as your customer
   sends coins to THEIR address first. Stay well clear.

 * We do not have a problem with the account suspension. You are entitled to do 
   that. We have no interest in appealing.
 * The problem is NOT the suspension.
 * The problem is that you took a fee of about 10%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 * Do you not acknowledge this?
 * YOU OWE US THOSE MISSING BITCOINS, WHETHER THE ACCOUNT IS SUSPENDED OR NOT.

 * [@gourl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gourl/) Regardless of the circumstances,
   please do not post other people’s email in these forums again. That’s something
   that is taken very seriously here.
 * [@jvlad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jvlad/) If you’re that unhappy (
   and please refrain from all caps replies) why did you rate this plugin as 5 stars?
 * You can update the stars and your review via this link.

 * Either way, your dispute is not for these forums. Please take that directly to
   the plugin author’s site. Reviewing the plugin and your experience is fine but
   commercial disputes are not for here.

 * The star rating was obviously an error, now corrected.
 * Surely it is only fair that other users of the plugin are helped to understand
   what they’re getting into?
    The implied functionality of the plugin is that you
   will be forwarded Bitcoins minus the advertized fee. However this has not been
   the case.
 * If this is really not an appropriate forum, then surely WP do not allow plugins
   that con users out of money? And there is a method for bringing such activity
   to WP’s attention? Thanks.

 * It sounds like you purchased a plugin or service. WordPress.org only distributes
   software that is freely available and that’s where we are concerned. WordPress.
   org doesn’t have any policies on software that is distributed elsewhere.
