They are not the account details I used to pay Alwaysmining. I don't want to jump to conclusions but what is the possibility he has had his account cracked?
Edit : Sorry I was partly mistaken. The sort code and account number are the same. The name is different.

I made at least two successful trades with Alwaysmining to the tune of BTC7,50 and the turnaround was fast. I know that ultimately, that's not absolute proof of anything, really.
Clearly :-)fact is i suspect most would rather take the loss than talk to the police about this account

Doog is a hero member, maybe it was to get one last bit of credibility before he ran off. Only thing I can think of.
During the 5 hours that I was waiting for the MtGox withdrawal to go through, I looked back through the thread, thinking I'd probably been ripped off, and noticed how few posts almost all the previous satisfied customers had, and thought it was possible they were all sockpuppet accounts.
Thing is, most of the orders which haven't been filled were placed while I was still waiting for payment. My post was still saying "hey, I didn't get paid yet" when those orders were placed.

Greed is a hell of a drug.
I totally concur!
But £700 is not a helluva lot of money anymore. 700 true original Pounds Sterling (as in 700lbt of sterling silver), yes.
If I were a bad, dishonest fraudster or scammer I wouldn't dream of doing it for as pathetic and paltry sum as £700 so I often naïvely assume nobody else would either, but of course I might be overestimating other people's intelligence and appreciation of risk-reward-ratio concept a good deal of the time.

The combined total amount not paid for now is well in excess of 35BTC (mine was 30BTC alone). I imagine he had a swell of orders from all of us at once and then, after seeing the total he could make (I'd estimate we're looking close to £700 here - maybe more) for 'free' without giving the BTC he saw the opportunity as too good to miss. He's been on the forums multiple times since and hasn't responded to anyones PMs.
It's possible.
Another factor that made me believe he was honest is that I PMed him asking for 50 BTC, and he replied that the maximum was 35 BTC per customer at the moment. What kind of scammer turns down free money like that? I understand it's necessary in the early stage of running a Ponzi scheme, but not in this case.
Hi
Been 48 hours since I transferred £100 to him for a purchase of BTC. I'm assuming I won't be getting my BTC, I was originally going to purchase £200 worth, just glad I didn't.

I sent £255.50 for 35 BTC on Saturday 24th Nov and received the coins 5 hours later. There was a delay due to him using MtGox as his wallet, apparently.
It seems I was one of the last to receive coins, and don't understand why he would send me the 35 BTC if he was intending to run off.
The amounts owing all seem to be less than 35 BTC. It doesn't make sense to me that he would honour the big order and run off with the smaller ones. But it is odd that he's no longer responding to PMs or on his thread.

I have been waiting on 20BTC for over 48 hours now. No messages or replys.
If you have the bank account and you are in UK is easy make actions .But If yo are not in UK you need to contact the cyber-crime police . If I am you I do that faster.

Was about to make the same thread myself. He has been on multiple times since and hasn't responded to any PM or sent the coins.
seems to have accepted payments for several orders and left the building.

But we know name and bank account - wondering what's best to do with that.
