185$ for a virtual knife?

Seems like someone needs to get a life, and soon before they tart coming.

 

If your account was hacked, how would it be possible to have a conversation with you? Or even know it was you?
Not caring enough to warn the community about the hack is a real chump move and any permanent Negative stating so would be warranted IMO.


EDIT: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nothing-1185139

seems legit 

So what you're saying is that your account was hacked, but you didn't feel a need to "worry about" changing your password and letting the hacker just keep access on your account?

but the thing that gets me is without having a full conversation with me you just put down negative trust,I feel I should return the favor

the honest truth is I have more important things going on than worrying about here,but will do it now

I had my account hacked on 20 sept,actually had my computer hacked and lost a lot out of Cex.io whos 2FA did not work at login.when someone actually got me myself I told them I know nothing about it and took the advert down straight away.As for my account for sale I am more apt to dump it than sell it this forum has lost all its charm and credibility.The hacker is days away from being caught as Interpol are now involved as he tried to steal thousands from my account at Banx.io till Simon Dodds got the account frozen.
I now live in a hospice and sometimes glad I am away from people who just assume anything on here,as for you writing bad trust I can see the point of the guy who thought he was being ripped off but WTF is VOD sticking his friggin nose into it for.
Write as much red trust as you like I dont really give a shit I have more pressing matters in my life than worrying about that
Apart from the guy who was selling a knife,in nearly 3 years you will find no one that says I tried to rip them off,I am more likely to give you something for nothing as steal from you

Good find! This is definetly a dumb scam attempt, default trusted members should leave a negative feedback on his account with this as refference. I wll also leave negative trust on his profile.

Yup. That seems like a very lame scam attempt.
Good job for requesting escrow!   

Thank you for notifying us about this person. Further transactions with this guy and his scam attempts will be prevented.

He could've made a better excuse tho. He sounded like a teenage boy trying to fool some tricks to his parents.

Two weeks ago I made a thread selling one of my CS:GO knives for $185 in BTC. A week later I received this PM from coinmaster222 offering to buy my knife:


Note how he insists on going first. I offer to use escrow:


He doesn't respond for a few days and I send him a PM asking if he's still interested. He responds with this:


According to the seclog (archive.is of the seclog after receiving this PM) and his profile, he has not changed his password in the past month. We first exchanged PMs a week ago, meaning he is lying about being hacked.

I checked his trust and found that he recently put his account up for sale in this thread. His stats perfectly match those described in that thread, the Total Time Spent Online stat is a dead giveaway.

Anyway, I believe this is enough evidence that he intended to scam me and anyone else who would send first to him. He lied about being hacked once he realized there was no way I would complete the deal without escrow. He clearly doesn't care about his reputation anymore and wants to get a quick buck out of his account before discarding it, whether that be by selling it or scamming someone.

I have left negative trust and I urge others to do the same, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets someone to send first because the account is a hero.
