The exact same thing happened on the feathercoin forums. Most of the victims have joined forces and they're about to take legal action.

Someone here needs to step up and take the lead like mhamilton and kevlar.

Best of luck.

The people scammed here should request the personal information to see if it is the same person.

This person is confirmed as Scott Davie. There is an interesting thread ongoing about his many scams. PM for more details (senior members only).

Coinbase responded with a "we are overwhelmed with the volume of support emails, and have not been able to get to this one"... Or something to that effect. Replied back to that they needed to look into it still.

Tried to get by the police station today, but work was spread out such that I couldn't leave for a while. Going to try again tomorrow but may have to wait until Monday. Not sure if there will be detectives there on the weekend, and I was told specifically to insist on talking to one, even if someone else took the complaint.

Did you go to the police station?

And moreover it's sad that when I warned, people didn't believe me!

Take it, Its money lost and nothing we can do?...

I doubt there's much we can do. We might be able to get info from his whois protection, but then it would be what to do with it. The problem with Bitcoin is it's main selling point, it's completely anonymous.

I contacted his county parole officer, but he had completed his sentence including parole/probation in 2012.

Hi Ian,

We've had a hold placed on this user's account since the end of November so he can no longer use our merchant tools. If they have stolen your money I recommend going to the authorities, once we receive a subpoena we will turn over the information we have on this account. These kinds of users give Bitcoin a bad name, so I'd be happy to see them brought to justice.

I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to shoot me an email if you have any further questions!

Also, yes, I did put money in before I knew it was a scam. Has anyone contacted Law Enforcement about this?

That's certainly suspicious. Will do, it would help if several other people alert them also.

I've also alerted mt gox, but haven't heard back.

i saw an earlier post where he was a registered sex offender. Assuming he is on parole or probation, someone should simply contact his p.o.

Actually we should probably warn mt gox too. I'm betting it's the same person, since less than a day after Coinbase shut him down, the buttons on bitcoinforsale switched over to Mt Gox

Neiq,

I have investigated and banned the user, they will no longer be able to accept money via Coinbase. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and I'm sorry for any trouble this has caused you.
Kind regards,

Better warn them about http://www.bitcoinforsale.net/ They have coinbase Buttons also. May not be same person but they might want to doublecheck.
