Initial Deposit did not arrive and no account or wallet was created… Where are the tokens and where is the BTC I sent to buy tokens?

Why is there not an account creation before requesting funding… How do you know who sends what?
EDITED: Additionally, I’ve had the “waiting on your deposit” screen up for a couple hours… and I keep checking the Deposits & Transactions and nothing changes except those timers restart every time I refresh the page. Sure looks like a dummy page to me. I hope I didn’t get scammed for over a hundred bucks.
Could you please give the community more details as to what you were trying to do and on which exchange?
My guess is that you wanted to buy some ADA? If that is the case, did you convert your BTC to ADA on a exchange?
The address you shared above is a Bitcoin address, not a ADA address.
Did you install the Daedalus Wallet as advised on the Cardano homepage?
Thank you for your reply. I followed instructions on the screen… Simple 3 step process where #1 was to send Bitcoin to a generated address, #2 it would show up on transaction list, and #3 it would create an anonymous wallet with ADA at the intro rate.
@Ron_Hayward Sorry Ron. Always check first on the official Cardano website https://www.cardanohub.org/en/buy-sell-ada/ that you are buying ADA from a legit exchange… I would suggest Binance as it has the cheaper fees (0.1%) and no verification needed up to 2BTC deposits. Here is the official link:
Please do more research before you buy ANY other coin. Google’s algorithm is pretty simple to trick, short term, so using search results as a ranking system is a terrible idea. Look up the reputable exchanges and at least make your loss a learning experience instead of trying to blame the coin you were trying to buy. Just my 2¢… sorry for your loss.
Yeah… it wasn’t a cheap lesson, but it was a good one. And one of my hobbies is crusading, so I’ll dabble in tracking them anyway, when I have moments to play. With work order platforms like Latium, its possible to create a little havoc in their lives as well. All’s fair in the game of life…
And as far as Cardano, it’s not at fault. Fine coinage… Scammers take advantage of others success, so it’s a good sign for the currency.
It looks like cardano.instacoin.exchange is the only thing they have set up. If you go to instacoin.exchange, you’ll see BCH and Monero listed also, but not clickable.
The rest of the information on the page is complete BS. I don’t know if this person used their real info for the domain registration or if info belongs to a real person who has nothing to do with the scam.
Both reduired evidence that this site is a scam so I sent them a link to this thread and also a link to the Youtube video by Fresno Hills.
If you guys also want to send some emails to both to report and request the site is taken down that would be really helpful. @Ron_Hayward perhaps you can provide both with evidence that you lost money?
Thanks for the screenshot. All this contact information is fake. I am french so I called them just to double check, and it turns out that the phone number is a doctor’s office, while the address is wrong as well (postal code for Charente Maritime starts with 17*** and not 28). Goes without saying that the street doesn’t exist neither.
