Topic: Collectible Cards of Bitcointalk Users. - page 3. (Read 8259 times)

This morning I did receive the approx $30USD worth of BTC that I requested Basorexia pay back.

I still would like to see a current picture of the holofoil paper he had, the printer, the supplies.. maybe a card or two printed/being cut to size in order to believe this isn't the thief friend trying to get enough rep bought back to hit us harder a second time.

First steps taken but there are some hurdles you need to still get over here Bas.

Sorry for delays, please remember that I cannot pay back to all quickly because I do it form my what I earn daily.
I would like to kind ask those who got refunds to drop a message here
thank you and my apologizes again

Your entire statement is all kinds of narcissistic.  Lol.  Sorry buddy, it has nothing to due with the scrutiny towards you etc.... stop it.  I'm sorry I/we hurt your feelings by saying if bulk shipping happens we want it to go to MJ.  They are only the most trusted person on this site.  Lol.  


edit:

We were just too trusting of a newbie as it with started digital goods we all received.  They got a bunch of us on the physicals.  It won't happen again. 

Did MJ or anyone get messaged by this guy for batch shipping?
The fact that he didn't, and kept "shipping in singles" made it to where he really profited more , suggesting myself for the service seems to have nerfed off the notion due to the scrutiny I recieved.
Essentially taking advantage of your distrust by scapcoating me.
 Maybe in the future this can be viewed as a red flag.

Just to expand a bit on this, I want to make sure that people know that if they're being strung along and they're asked for more funds -- DO NOT SEND ANY MORE FUNDS. If you get asked for more funds, it's just an attempt to scam more.

Expect that you've lost all the money that you've sent. If you get it back or if you get the collectible cards then great. If not then move on. Tough luck folks.

Update:  I was asked how much I lost via PM.  Address given here publicly.  Not a single bit sent. 



This does not sound like any other Bas reply from the early parts of this thread. 

Don't count on these ever coming to fruition or the person in charge of this account doing the right thing.  If you get strung along believing you'll eventually get your item.... you deserve what you get.  This user is not trustworthy, PERIOD!

A refund would be the way to go.

Once I get card in my hands..then I will pay again.

Yes:  Great idea!!!!   Grasp on to something very "reasonable"  The more complex, the better.  Right?


Why don't you grasp onto a real reasonable and straight forward approach, namely:  just pay everyone back, and if if any of them wants to reorder, after you have paid everyone back, then take the matter of orders and shipping and all of that mumbo jumbo from there.

Nah.  That would be too straight forward.  Right?

Instead you want to drag this bullshit out, which should cause a lot of members to be more skeptical about your intentions to make matters good... or that you are even being honest in your description of the purported mess-up.

This is a reasonable proposal. Let me estimate the time needed.

Sharing of social media/forum accounts always ends in disaster.

Please reference the cyclops/CryptoImperator debacle from 2016:

Don't forget the last card in the set.

After sadly looking through this and then noticing the person bolted with the funds, kinda hope that the mods lock this up.

Wish I could get one though

Edit: Never mind on that, read a bit too quick. Hopefully this guy can show that he's not a scammer.

I was thinking that the quickest intermediary measure to attempt to salvage some credibility would be to just reimburse all funds that were sent that did not have a product sent/received.  Probably not any need to reimburse anyone who received a product that was of the value that was agreed to.  

So, Basorexia (purportedly Taras) is proclaiming that currently he does not have enough funds to reimburse everyone completely and immediately for the amount that they had sent, but that he has proposed to be able to send payments, but has not specified any kind of exact plan nor any kind of timeline to accomplish such payments.  

Of course, members are going to be skeptical of genuineness of such offer that is lacking in details.

I personally believe that if Basorexia were to want to be perceived as genuine in his reimbursement offer, then he would just disclose a specific reimbursement plan and a tentative and reasonable timeline target to accomplish the total reimbursement, and start reimbursement as soon as possible, then some credibility would likely be regained.   Probably the best way would just list all the members and the amount that he plans to reimburse and the timeline for such (someone correct me if they believe that there is a problem in attempting to carry out the reimbursement openly, and maybe if some members specifically state that they want to keep their names anonymous, then that could be labelled as anonymous in the publicly disclosed reimbursement plan?) 

Otherwise, yeah, without a specific plan with a specific timeline, it just appears that Basorexia/Taras is merely just dragging out this matter for apparent ongoing lame-ass deception purposes to continue to play around with the community that he has presumably scammed out of coins and to drag the matter out in order to cause it to appear that that whatever happened is not a scam, but merely in the end, just showing that the offer of remedy that he made is not a genuine remedy offer.

^^^^
Excellent reference too minerjones.
Didnt know about this since I just joined the collectibles section and seriously getting into it from 2 months or so ago.
I have the upmost trust in your knowledge and sincerity for all in this small but passionate community.
Keeping it safe is top priority so those who venture into this section never need to get involved in this sort of situation again.
My hats off to you. 

I don't think he is gonna reply or agree to this. He first gained the trust here and then used that trust to scam the people. How foolish of him.
If he has not been guilty of all this, he could have converted this into a profitable business but greedy people don't think like this. 

I just read Basorexia's post.

Disappointed.




 


 

Too fucken bad mate. Really thought you had something good going there. Sodl your soul and rep for a few bits.

Bas, this is truly disappointing. 

Let's just assume that everything that you wrote here is true (due to good faith). I have a couple of questions.

You said that you had a business partner, that you trusted them so much, that you gave account details (bitcointalk/telegram). I assume that since you are the designer, you are the official (first) owner of this account since you took part in the 10th-anniversary competition as a designer. Hence, you shared accounts with your "partner" afterwards. Also, you claim that your "friend disappeared taking coins."

Question 1: I guess that you knew your friend IRL (in real life) since somehow you gave to them the physical items for dispatching. How exactly they disappeared and you cannot find/track them? (like they left the country?)

Question 2: Since I assume that you know who your partner is, did you took legal action against them? You admitted that stolen the funds from you (and from us). All I can see here is you saying excuses like ... "It is my fault that I chose a bad partner". The question is: what are you planning to do about it, and what you already did.

Question 3: Since you were sharing accounts, and both of you having access (reading/writing) and also to PM's (reading/writing), I also assume that you already know through PM's, EXACTLY the amount that each one of us sent you. Even if you were not handling the business-related aspects, you were still had/have access to that info, and you should have (at least) read them. I assume that you wanted to know when a customer ordered a new digital card (through PM), hence you were actually accessing PM's and reading them. Why are you asking what each one sent you, since you already know?

Question 4: How did you get access to your account back? (after your partner reset the password) Why it took you 1 week?

Question 5: Could you please indicate to us which of the posts (in this and in the other "Unique collectible things for Bitcointalk users." topic) were written by you, and which by your "partner"?  Just write the post #'s here, please.


Question 6: If the above it's true, how can we be sure that "you" are the one that claims this (ie do the writings now), and not your partner (pretending of being "Taras")?


Question 7: Do you have those dispatching documents and the invoice, or not?

suggestion for further business (if there is still a chance to restore your business): continue to produce items upon request. Send them to MJ (or other trusted user). Upon confirmation of receiving, then AND ONLY THEN, you will get your commission/payment (not beforehand) directly from the user that you had a deal with. Alternative you could use full  escrow services (and prolly pay for the escrow fees, or split fees with customers)

I did tons of assumptions above. Please enlighten me...

Even better idea BCP. Yes, please ship everything to MJ in a nice package via tracking. I’ll even pay for fedex via my business account. I’m offering you a chance to make good on your deals and possibly even restore your business through the use of an escrow with MJ in the future. The decision is yours. You had a multi thousand dollar business idea, don’t toss it away for a few hundred man.
