Topic: Bounty Hunter (Read 888 times)

well what kind of "bounty hunter" is limited to his hometown?!?!?!?  ;-)

to everyone I can't help (because of geography) I'm sorry. But don't give up, get your coins back!

I'm begininning to see that there is no shortage of scammers. Some of them, like the ones you guys mentioned, are kind of like household names. I've gotten messages for cases I've never heard of (20 BTC and 10). They're people in my neck of the woods. You know, there are enough people on this site that if people really wanted to, they could become "bounty hunters" where they reside, within 100 mile radius. The key is physical confrontation in an environment they cannot escape. Like, visiting them where they work, or, as it is in a lot of cases, tell the parents of the kid what their kid has done, show them your chatlogs or whatever proof you have and tell them that you are going to report their son to the local police and turn over all the evidence you have. I don't know, being scammed sucks. Yeah I want to do it to make some coins but I know I'll derive satisfaction from it beyond that

well, maybe you have heard about this thread here:


https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/help-bitcoins-stolen-reward-600-bitcoins-or-equivalent-in-euro-125641

The current total reward for finding the hacker is 600 BTC

I have basically figured out a person with a level one connection to the hacker, "[email protected]" who lives in Florida (1607 CAMBRIDGE DR, CLEARWATER, FL 33756-1805 (PINELLAS COUNTY)
). This guy should have information about this hacker, as he has sent a small amount of 0,34 BTC to the hacker.

He was unfortunately not willing to cooperate towards me and did not disclose the information to me.

But at least... not a hopeless case, quite some reward and not solved yet.

I think you know that many would offer a percentage of any coins you could retrieve from Trendon/Pirate?

I would like to offer my services. Call me a bounty hunter. I live in Southern CA (the most populated part of the country's most populated state). If you were scammed by someone and know where they reside (at least broadly), I will pursue them within 100 miles of where I live. I'm never one to "jump the gun". I'll do some recon work first. As far as approaching the subject, of course I will not do so with any sort of violent weapon/threat. I will, though, approach them at a moment they can't possibly make a run for it (at their place of work, with family, etc). I am 100% confident I can get them to pay. If what it takes is regular visits, that's what I'll do. But I don't think it will-I'll corner them at an extremely vulnerable moment, they'll have to pay up (I'll even let them use my computer  If they don't have the funds (not "I don't have the funds"-of they actually don't  I won't leave until a payment plan is worked out. And like I said, if it requires check-ups, I'll do check-ups. I'm actually excited at the thought of this. I just graduated undergrad and am thinking about mastering in Criminology and become a private investigator.
Of course, I can't tell you how much I would charge for the service-there's far too many variables. It would all depend on the work and time required. Although, keep in mind that I'm aware I'm not a Private Investigator...I'm just a college grad-for now. If a case is simple, I'd just ask for a fee. If its not and requires "check ups", etc, I would ask for a small percentage of the balance due. 
So, if you've been scammed by someone you know resides in Southern California and want to do something about it, send me a PM!
