On 4 Jan I ordered 1 million dinars from B&G Currency at dinarmerchant.com They told me that my order would be shipped by FEDEX immediately upon receipt of my $790.00, plus $20.00 shipping. On 9 Jan, I received a note from dinarmerchant/B&G Currency stating that they had received my money and that my order would be shipped within 5 business days.
After waiting approximately 10 days I attempted to contact dinarmerchant and spoke with a sales spokesman that was unable to help me. They stated that I should call back tomorrow. I called back the next day and emailed the next day. I received an immediate response via email that there were issues at the Iraqi borders and if I was willing to wait 2-3 weeks that I would receive my dinars. Samir, my new account representative said I could wait or receive a refund. I explained that I was willing to wait if they were in fact going to send my dinars.
The next day, approximately 21 Jan 05, dinarmerchant went off line and said that all orders sent before 21 Jan would be honored. After a day or two dinarmerchant came back up on line and was now requesting $950.00 per million dinar. My wife called and after 35 minutes spoke with Samir who said he could send our dinars immediately if we sent $160.00. He said the dinars would be sent after the money was received. Of course I sent him nothing and at this point I'm thinking I lost $810.00. I'm writing this so no one else sends these frauds any money.
It is now 31 Jan and I haven't received my dinars or dollars. Please avoid this company, they will tell you anything when you can actually get an answer. But they are only interested in getting your cash. My mistake was looking at dinarmerchant and not finding any negative reports, but I failed to look at B&G Currency. Does anyone out there know how I may be able to get my money back.
