Beware of this guy: Sucram on local bitcoins:
https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/sucraM/

He just scammed a lot of people, asking for a screenshot of the pre-funding page "for verification/security" and then when he gets the screenshot, he releases the funds. The screenshot has the authentication code to release the funds. WATCH OUT!

Someone on there lost over $8,000...

Also this guy's number is: 1-913-200-1331. Need to come up with a way to counter-scam this jackass.

I did an investigation on him: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--279648
So if you know of anyone who got victimized by this kid, send them to that topic so they can do a proper report to the FBI and to the local authorities.

He attempted to scam me as well. He tried to get 55 bitcoins from me using the same technique. I realized what he was attempting and avoided getting caught in the scam, but I saw that there was a good chance he was going to get away with it with some others. I posted two posts regarding his scam here in bitcointalk to warn people:

This scam appears to have crossed multiple state boundaries, and therefore is possibly an interstate fraud case for the FBI. If anyone contacts the FBI, let me know. I'll call and share the details of the attempted fraud against me.

Like Trendon Shavers, we need to let these scammers know that they can't get away with fraud just because it's "bitcoin".

was he using TOR, did you check?
Localbitcoins may be able to provide you his IP.

So, get his:
IP
phone no (trackable who created this googleVOIP).

Then, Police report with those details?
