Hey
Just wanted to know the quickest way to get in touch with a moderator?
I purchase or athought I was buying bitcoins forms a vendor called TopSecret today, I was assured that once the funds were collected from western union the coin would be sent to me but they haven't and ever since I've gotten notification that the funds were picked up they have stopped responding.
Here I was buying from a vendor with rating on SR was safe and I think I've just brunt 300usd.

Sorry to break it to you but it looks like its going to be a 300usd lesson for you about doing business on the Road. Unfortunately SR Admins can't do much except ban his account if he does prove to be a scammer. Hopefully your post will prevent other users from doing business with this guy.

Hey,
Just wanted to provide an update. Topsecret has made contact and provided what appears a genuine reason. We have come to an alternate arrangement which is that I will receive items. Would have used the coins to buy directly from him/her.
I will keep everyone updated as I'm hoping this works out well after all!

Sounds like topsecret needs to be reported for acting outside the rules of SR. OOE sales are a big NONO because SR loses his cut.

This is a perfect example of what NOT TO DO!
I have read a lot of these type of post (over 50) and every single one that I have read the OP comes back in and says something like " oh never mind I just got it" or something like that. And it is never because the vendor read the post in here.... it is because the buyer panics.
First thing...The mods can't do shit for you. It is not there job. If you have a problem on SR then go to SR!!! Contact support on SR not in the forums.
Second thing if this happens to you and you make a post like this...do yourself a favor and delete the post! I am glad the OP got it figured out. But it go's to show you that if you relax and you are patient then 99.99% of the time everything will be fine.
The other .01%...... Your fucked.

In my case its been over 9 days and they still never got back to me. I contacted SR and they suggested i use the voucher to buy from somewhere else first. I did and it worked a treat!
I do feel a little guilty now in case something bad had happened to them. :-[

i'm sure he had a legit reason so he could keep your money and leave you no other option than to get shit off him and thats if he actually sends something just use bitinstant next time and don't worry about getting shitted which at this point it looks like
