I'm guessing the hacker lost the access to my forum account at some point. He then created user 'mxrider1' and tried to convince monkeynuts that the original account was hacked/locked.
Some PMs from the hacker 'mxrider1' to monkeynuts:
Hello monkeynuts
Im MXRider i 've lost my account password due to a fucking virus that crypted all my files including my wallets please dont release any bitcoins until i get back to my account.
This is urgent please reply to me.
Thank you.
and another one:
Np you can verify that im MXRider:
1) I've asked you to change my btc address to an offline address cause online wallets are not safe and it was ending (as i remember) with: Muu
2) You told me in your last msg : Confirming address ....
3) I've sent you a msg asking you if IOTA Support really used you as an escrow and than you replied to me with an apologize cause you didn't include me in your escrow msg.
4) IOTA Support made a wrong calculation of the escrow amount and than after my correction he said i agree to the price.
Lets me know if this is enough lol
Also please accept my apologies monkeynuts i will make sure to send u a tip after all this ends.
Cheers
Info on the second message actually checks out. He has read my PM's and apparently had access to my account at some point around April 3rd.
If you received a message from me just asking for a payment (no other info on the message), do not make the payment. I always send the tracking code/info about shipping on the same message with my btc address.
Anyway, the redeemed 25btc coin has been sold and all ended well. The scams have come quite a long way from 2012-2013, when I was active at the forum. Big thanks to monkeynuts for professional escrow services. I would definitely recommend!
