Six months ago I got the idea to buy "Digital currency" for use in online stores through a system called "Liberty Reserve". And to do so I used a company called Money Central Market.
Their website claimed it bo easy and perfectly safe, so I filled a form to buy 300$ worth of "Digital currency". I then recived an e-mail with instructions for what bank and account to transfer my money.
I did so, and whithin 24 hours according the the email i would have my Digital currency on my Liberty Reserve-account. 48 hours passed and not a word from them so I e-mailed their support and asked if something was wrong, and they answered saying they were missing a lot of information on me that was needed for my purchase to check out, including a copy of my drivers lincense, passport, bank statement and phone bill. Nowere in their form was this mentioned...
I assume that this is an amercian company, and I live in sweden and only use online bank services and dont recive any papers of that kind, nor do I have a home-phone...
I tried to tell this to them but they kept requesting the bank and phone papers from me anyway.
So I asked them to simply refund my money so I could use another Digital currency company instead, and they promised me to do so, but nothing happend, so I asked why, and they claimed their bank was having troubles, insuring me I had nothing to worry about. But again, nothing happend.
For weeks they gave me a new excuse every time, and eventually started blaming ME for the entire situation! This started six months ago, and they no longer reply any of my e-mails so I guess I can kiss my 300$ good bye...
