BitPlastic.com scam, BitPlastic "Bitcoin Debit Card" compliants

SCAM! Beware of Dr. Moriarty! I paid 0.2BTC for a BitPlastic Card. They mailed it in a flimsy envelope marked with BitPlastic as the return address. The card was ripped out of the envelope and the pin number was written in HUGE letters. Dr. Moriarty refused to refund me stating, “We are not responsible for lost or stolen cards”. I spent nearly $200 on a card and they couldn’t even send it securely? Maybe a cardboard envelope, FedEx or even $5 Priority Mail?snarkmark

This site bit plastic stole my bitcoin and accused hackers. I have all the evidence.Antoun Toubia

This site has a foul odour and after doing some checks so do all the sites Michael Moriarty operates. His unprofessional approach and his lack of security on his site tells me 2 things.. He is just plain stupid or is trying to scam people and as you can see here its the latter of the 2.Mark

Review by "female student":

Lisa is an SFU girl who loves Bitcoin, and she uses the Bitcoin debit card to withdraw cash from her local ATM machine.anonymous scammer

Another review by "college girl":

Karen is a UCLA college girl who uses the BitPlastic.com Bitcoin debit card for withdrawing cash from her bitcoin account. She loves the service and recommends the BitPlastic debit card for anyone who needs to withdraw anonymous cash from ATM machines. BitPlastic provides the only true Bitcoin debit card on the planet, which works in all countries throughout the world.anonymous scammer

sent 0.3 btc to the site and money not showing on my account

contacted admin and they say that they will send me a refund me

Still waiting for my refund, not impressed so far

still no refund, they have said that their is a glitch or virus in their system and it has sent the payment elsewhere and they are trying to trace. These guys are either scammers or seriously incompetent. aggster

If you want "Bitcoin debit card" the alternative is to use normal MasterCard or Visa (from your "favorite" bank) and this service (card loading fee with Bitcoin is about 7.23%). This works only with non-US cards.

Please note that Raxcard.com is also a scam.
