Topic: btcvender scammed me at bitmarket.eu - 5 BTC reward for hints (Read 2238 times)

yeah, thanks a lot for the help so far, if it helps to find the guy i will forward the reward asap, but i think the police will not do anything before christmas

holy shit, you guys are amazing. Even if I had any thoughts of pulling a scam, seeing the results you guys pull would certainly give me pause. 

See, boys and girls? This is why it's best and simplest to just play it straight and do the right thing. The internet will FUCK. YOU. UP.

Good, hope you've got enough information to get this scum bag.

yeah, bitmarket.eu does not seem to work anymore. I had very good experience in the past but currently i do not get any answer for quite some time.....

just sent the webmaster a private msg here, thanks for the tipp

Any chance you could post the email he sent and the headers?
If his IP is listed within it, you maybe able to ask bitmarket.eu (if they eventually get back in touch) to check if that IP matches ones in their logs from that account he used.

BitMarket.eu has a lot of bad rep. Check the google results out

The webmaster of BitMarket.eu is: M4v3R
He was last active today, maybe you should try sending him a PM on here.

yes, i contacted the guy, but at first there was no answer at all, after some time he simply stated that he didnt receive the money and that he refuses to give me any contact data.

I also checked with my bank and they confirmed that the account exists and that the money was actually transferred. The other partys bank only provides information to the police, therefore i would simply have to wait some more time i assume.

The weird thing is anyway that the bitmarket.eu admin does not answer at all and that the transaction was "cancelled" without me being asked at all. Usually a cancellation required the consent of both parties.

I really shouldn't be online when I'm tired

I never, I replaced them with xxx's

Luckily you quoted his addresses so that it'll be useless if he edits his own posts.

If you forwarded them then yeah it's no use. Have you contacted your banks fraud department? Depending on who you bank with they may be able to compensate you, especially as you have contacted the police.

Did you actually communicate with the guy at all using his email addresses?
If not, it could be that he just used a random email address he found and pretended it was his.
But it would be a bit coincidence that the owner of the one email and this guys bank details are both located in Lisbon.

If it was me, I'd send the guy an email with a link to a 'fake' web page that will grab his IP address, you could then send an abuse complaint to his ISP and forward it to the police. If you decide to, I'll be able to do a 'fake' webpage for you if need be.

You should also try emailing him, if you haven't already, stating that you have contacted the police, direct him to this thread, and threaten to inform his employee/friends/family for the shame.

Probably best to remove your email addresses from your post if you don't want spam bot harvesters to get hold of it.

thanks for the tips so far,

but i think the email header is of no use, as i forwarded it from my own email adress (martin.albert(aet)gmx.net) to my second address (mralbihtc(aet)gmail.com), and i do not save the mails on the first account :-(

and the second email with the banking data from the other email address:

Best regards,
Bitmarket.eu team.

Also, from the swift code he's using Banco Espirito Santo S.A. in Portugal:
http://www.swiftbic.com/bic-code.html?swift_search=BESCPTPL

Since the branch code is 0000 it should be the one in Lisbon.

Removed as wrong user

Dear all,
a user called btcvender scammed me recently for 77.6 EUR on bitmarket.eu.

The case is already followed up by the police and they promised to request IP log data etc. from bitmarket.eu, but I was wondering if someone in this forum has additional information or can at least be warned by this by this scammer.

His standard email-reply bank data was empty, after that a second email with the bank data contained the following bank information:
iban: pt50000700000011573225323
SWIFT/BIC: BESCPTPL

the two email adresses he used are:
[email protected]
[email protected]


All information is welcome and be warned :-)
