Topic: Beware of scammers! - page 7. (Read 70204 times)

I just wanted to report NothinG for scamming me out of 2 BTC.  You can view his thread here, the action starts around page 18.  No matter how much evidence I throw at him he refuses to refund the money as promised in the beginning.  I recommend avoid all transactions with this user.

Hey guys.
The BTCBuyer on this forum is not the same one who scamed you. I personally know this one and they are two separate people. You guys are acidentally slandering a nice person

Thanks for the public admission. Now what exactly does that screen shot prove?

why the fuck would i give you another hacked account when you'd just come back and bitch about it anyways.  clearly you have severe nerd anger and would rather cry about me scamming then get a new account.  there are real people on here scamming and you're shitting up this thread.

kind of convenient how i have this "re: nonhacked steam" june 13

The account you sold me was stolen by your own admission. I repeatedly asked for a refund me instead you insisted on giving me another account. Given the fact that I could lose my other steam games, what makes you think I want anything else from you other than my BTC? You clearly have no qualms about stealing from people, what makes you think your word is worth more than a pile of dog dook to me? Yes... I'll just trust that this account is not stolen too... brilliant.

BTW your post report counter accusation is quite convincing.

-1 tecshare.  tried to offer him a legit account the day after i sold him the one he is complaining about but he declined.  when the account he had got recovered he didn't even want a legit replacement and decided he would rather report me as a scammer.  your loss buddy. 

-1 antidote - He is selling stolen steam accounts

I got burned by Coins4Trade
paid via MB for BTC, 4BTC @ 13EUR each, gone

I've tried to reach, and even replied to the thread, no reply back.

I was inquiring because you never left a negative for the buyer. Unless you don't think he was responsible and the eBay account was hacked.

The auction is complete but you can view here:

will edit my post to add the above link

He filled a chargeback against two of BitMarket.eu sellers. No contact as of today from him.

Edit: It seems that it was Paypal's fault after all. Nothing to see here, move on.

oh me to but until paypal and credit card companies trust bitcoin and adapt their code to confirm transactions, it wont happen.

BitCoin is such a direct threat to them all, for both being an ecurrency and a method for trading goods and services worldwide.

Its really scarey when you think about the potential of bitcoin.

I mean the powers that be want a one world government, military, currency, and court.

BitCoin is a real step in that direction.

yikes !

Is this auction still up? I couldn't find it. Most likely the eBay account was hacked too.

I really wish Paypal will be a safe way to trade BTC in the future. Its just soooooo convenience.

Very likely BTCCC.  See here:

here is the ebay auction:

Just got off the phone w/ eBay, their online dispute process isn't setup to handle this situation.  They were entirely uninterested in taking any kind of report or complaint re the fraud and wanted me to just "request" to cancel the auction.  That is I submit a request and the buyer has 7 days to accept/reject, etc.

I really only listed those few bitcoins on eBay as kindof a test when prices had just started to go up.  I won't be doing it again as eBay's dispute processes take far too long.  If I was going to do it in the future I think I would just sell an actual bitcoin wallet stored on cd containing the BTC for sale.  It would then be subject to normal "seller protection", tracking numbers, signature on delivery, etc.  Sellers are generally protected when shipping to a verified address, and are immune from chargebacks if all the "rules" are followed.

For those of you keeping tally here, the moral of this story is to NOT USE PAYPAL.
