Warning - Scam Exchange: CryptoDAO

On 2017-07-09 I made 2 deposits totaling 0.64923248 BTC to CryptoDAO in hopes to be able to trade for some Populous (PPT). (http://imgur.com/a/2FRku)

I was able to trade for some PPT soon after it hit EtherDelta and decided to withdraw my funds back to my wallet. I received an e-mail withdrawal notification (), the transaction was marked as completed (), and the BTC was removed from my CryptoDAO account ().

Despite the "withdrawal process" completing, my funds were never sent to my wallet (). I started another e-mail dialogue with the seeking a resolution and received a response about 8 hours later (). I've e-mailed them looking for status updates but never heard anything back from them again after the initial response.

The amount of BTC I've lost because of CryptoDAO isn't much by comparison to some of you but I'm beginning to see more and more cases similar to mine for people who have entrusted CryptoDAO with their funds.

I wanted to document everything that happened so that the rest of you fall for the same scam:

DO NOT USE CryptoDAO, IT'S A SCAM.
