i'm a newbie
i want to buy 200 EUR worth of BTC at PREEV -1%
i can pay in your bank account
i will require proof of identity of the owner of the bank account
i'm not familiar with ESCROW but people on this forum say it's a must, so let's use it, seller pays the fees regarding this procedure (i see on this forum that people trust other people, if the seller is trustworthy then i guess we don't need to use ESCROW)
pm for details or feel free to give here good advice
What an idiot. It's YOU who is buying BTC. It's YOU paying from your bank account. It's therefore YOU who must provide proof of identity and go through the rigors and hassles of proving bank account ownership and not the seller!
This is why criminal psychology is an ever evolving field. All these criminals thinking of ways to psychologically manipulate transactions. This is a perfect example. By writing what you wrote above, you are trying to paint a picture of yourself as someone who is vulnerable and therefore deserves all this information. This is what I see however:
1. You want people to send you sensitive information about bank account ownership. It's highly likely that this is not about buying 0.1 BTC. You are paying from a bank account which you might have hacked or stolen and yet you ask the coin seller to provide proof of ownership of his account? Why? That's the million dollar question.
2. Escrow is a must, yes, but it seems you are saying this to prevent scam busters here identifying your true intentions.
==>NOTE : this is an old thread but, i would like to post my comment <==
@warningsigns, you right. Sometime's uncivilized hacker's usually mask themselve by request of Proof of doc's from innocent seller's.
Ok, why can't he/she goes to localbitcoins where he has the possibility of dealing ONLY with user's who has verified account. He came here pretending to be new or ignorant of fraudulent activities associated with request of such document's.
FYI - For safety purpose - pls never give personal information(s) name,date,ID card no...or upload doc's to an individual. You can create on profile in order to go through the verification process on third parties website like coinbase/localbitcoins ..ecc
Thanks
