Topic: BEWARE eBay bitcoin scam artist Tim Trickett (trick506) - page 3. (Read 5843 times)

You sure?  eBay told you to test wallets? 

To add: The etsy guy was using the name John Adkins out of San Diego. Google does pull up a person by that name in that location, but I don't believe it's him. I believe our etsy scammer is using stolen identities and scamming with them. That is the most logical explanation here.

This is the post that is in question. This persons username is the same as the email for the etsy scammer. If I had to guess I would say they are not the same person. The poster of this message is giving good advice to say the least. My guess would be our etsy scammer has taken control of this posters email or more likely, cloned it: btcbuyer99@yahoo versus btcbuyer99@gmail. This is a tactic scammers use to throw you off the trail.

I am certain the btcbuyer99 on localbitcoins.com is our guy. In germany, german accent, german tv in the background, selling bitcoins in germany, it has to be him!! I wonder if interpol or something could do anything about this.

There is also a btcbuyer99 on localbitcoins.com. He has an active trade for selling bitcoins in Germany with cash in the mail. That looks like it is our guy! I don't know what we can do with them being in Germany, but it looks like he's trying to sell our bitcoins now.

I don't know if this has anything to do with the OP's guy, but this is the etsy guy for sure. Son of a bitch!?!?!?!?

Jcoin200- Do you think our etsy guy could be your guy? Maybe using a stolen identity/eBay of your guy?

Pepsiplusconkers- Do you have any more info about this you can share here? I think I've found our guy. I'm sure of it!!

Self note made.

Found this thread after searching and being scammed. I see there is a username that posted here in this thread named btcbuyer99. I am wondering if it is the same person that was scamming on etsy or if it's being used as a stolen identity.

I'm not sure how this is the same guy that is referenced in the eBay scam that this thread is about so I really can't speak to that. I do know the person that scammed me on etsy was using btcbuyer99@gmail for the registered email (that's how I landed in this thread). Could it be the same person? Yes. Could it be a different person? Yes. There is no real way to tell that. You could ask a mod to see what email is attached to btcbuyer99. If its the gmail then it's probably him. If not then I would say no.

What I do know is the person from etsy that scammed me was located in Germany. I called him and the number was a land line in germany. He answered and we spoke for a few minutes. He had a heavy german accent and I could hear a tv in the background also in german. Also, a germany ip address. If I had to bet the eBay guy and the etsy guy are the same, I would say no. Could it be possible this person has stolen some identities and is running both scams, yes that's possible. (the phone number is now disconnected).

I looked at the suspected eBay guy and I would say that he isn't the guy we are looking for. If you follow that guys trail, I don't think he would run scams on eBay. Probably a case of stolen identity.

We aren't going to get our money back since this was done in a foreign country. I spoke with etsy and there isn't anything they can do about it. I filed a police report and was told they would be in contact.

I can't believe I was this stupid. I guess it's a life lesson.

I don't see how people can on one hand claim that BTC is the wave of the future & on the other that the average person who isn't a computer expert can't participate via normal, relatively secure money-moving internet transactions to obtain it without expecting to get scammed.

Can a mod get intouch please.

Can a mod get in touch or something please, I have an important piece of info which you may be able to help out with, enable my PMs.

I got scammed for over $7k btw, pretty much all the money I have, when it looks too good to be true............... and here we are

Should I let him know I'm onto him.

I'm thinking about posting his blockchain address and info on reddit, although not sure what this can do.

Ive emailed you, and I'm from the UK.

feel free to email me.  [email protected]
This is what I know:

His home address is:

Timothy Trickett
11 Bennett Rd
Fitchburg, MA 01420

One of my eBay items had to be returned for a refund, and this was the return address, although the original package return address said San Diego, CA.

His email address from eBay and Paypal are: [email protected], and [email protected].

This is potentially his linked in profile:
www.linkedin.com/pub/tim-trickett-sr/11/594/370
If its not his then some other guy by the same exact name and from Mass. viewed my profile.

I've never used etsy so I don't know how their return process works.  If your out a lot of money go report it to your local police.  They told me to come down to the station since it was over $1000 and that is a felony in Maine.  File a report with the internet crime complaint center and give all the info you can.

What makes you think hes posted on here?

Jcoin, can you give any more info, I want to PM you but I don't have enough posts.

I'm pretty sure there is zero chance I'm getting my money back.

He used Et/sy, and "sold" me a miner. WTF can you do, do we even have his real details?

Can the person who said they have more info get in touch please, I can't private message.

I feel sick

I think he's posted in this thread btw, or another one, what was actually about himself

Was it through eBay or elsewhere?  I think most of us who got scammed through eBay had luck getting our money back.  I can help you out with any information I have on him if you want.  Feel free to PM me if you want.

I need to bump this, got scammed. and it's bad

I think it's the same guy, which is how I ended up here.

There are so many scams on Ebay now, I spend mos my time on there reporting them!

Really?

Don't deal with Ebay/Paypal for bitcoins. You WILL get scammed

Why did you buy this off ebay in the first place? If you don't want to use exchanges then try bitcoin OTC. Just make sure you use WOT as there are plenty of scammers too.

I've seen this thread and the other one like it in the scams forum. I'm just wanted to give out some advice: Don't talk about this in an open forum. Be 100% sure you have the right person. Why does this matter? Because if you are wrong you will get into a lot of trouble. From an outside source not affected by this it looks to me like a case of stolen identity and by adding to it you are only making things worse for the real person affected by this. Vigilante justice and investigating things yourself isn't going to do anything for you but possible get you into trouble especially if you have the wrong person. If you filed a police report then let them do their job. Also, with eBay and PayPal.. let them do their job as well. It seems like everyone will get their money back too. That's just my $0.02.   Source: Professional Experience.
