Cointopal.com Complete Scam of Bitcoin online Internet
The website offers the opportunity to sell bitcoins for PayPal. I got on their website and looked it over and everything looked legit. I was in a little financial crisis so decided to sell some bitcoins that I had. The transaction was complete and I was able to check the status of it. On September 2nd my transaction was approved but no money was ever transfered. I have submitted three help tickets now and there has been no response. Stay away from this website!!

Like an idiot i though the website looked and sounded like a geniune site and as the poster mentioned i was also in a hurry to get my bitocins into my paypal as quickly as possible. So when i googled bitcoin to paypal this was one of the top sites to come to my attention. After i hastly made the transaction i got a afterthought about what i had just done! i had sent nearly 1 BTC through this website which i didnt look at sucupilously for any reviews or signs of scams (as i usually do)...my heart felt heavy and after i saw the ripoff report i was even more worried about what i had just done! Given around nearly 600 USD to somone ..a complete stranger!
with hardly any power to recover it...i honestly was feeling sick by now at the thought of how stupid i fell for something like that. I wrote a support letter (a plea in my case for the guy not to scam me) and waited...at that stage it was the only thing i could have done tbh. I slept onit and woke up a few hours later and eagerly refreshed my transaction ...(you need to keep the transaction window open as there seems to be no way on the site to enter a transaction number)..it said 'approved' after being in pending for more than 6 hours.. i then checked my paypal and lo & behold it was there! ...Halleluyah!
My advise is to be cautious when using any of the internet services, do background checks first and do not send a large amount on the first try ..just you for example $10 if you feel like the service is geniune to test it out, do not jump the gun as i did and sent my whole bitcoin. The website cointopal worked for me so i can only give my judgement of the service that it worked as promised and is a geniune service.
here is my transaction..
