Topic: Do not trade with UniversalTrek -- he is a scammer. (Read 1395 times)

I know that this is pretty much decided already, but we've just changed the policy for verifying PMs:
For us to verify a PM, you now will need to use the report button on each PM.

LOL

I dont know what this Lophie guy is talking about but this is clear as day.

UniversalTrek is trying to get people to send him their private keys. CMON! What more evidence do you need that this guy is a scumbag?

LOL @ him trying to make it a raffle, too.

Gotta give him some points for trying though.

Another one bites the dust.

i don't know what you are looking at, but it is pretty damned obvious from what i am looking at.

please look at thread where trek is asking people to give them their private keys.

definitely not trying to scam people.

No you did not. You supposed to exchange the address IN PUBLIC, not disclose them from one side after the alleged scam. As much as e have scammers around we have also people who plays victim. I am sorry but since you did not follow the guidelines and basic logic, We cannot be sure who scammed whom.

I did, at this URL: http://ltc.block-explorer.com/tx/c89ab6aa3a572e2cdf7a707482a6da22899a875cb83d5ac4f42ace7378cddc2d

The address I sent from: LdpG9f7frnawY2S44qYELvQNfY36AMc8pp

His address: LN7cfF95wXXN3tau1iMJVzkVfpw3eDFpZW

Which is what he posted in his PM and told me to send it to.

Sigh.... Guys why don't you post publicly the addresses for your trades...

Guess he figured he'd go out in a blaze of glory. That was posted AFTER our transaction

I think this just proves who is telling the truth and who is lying.

I think you are right. Now, we need to make sure some of you GlobalTrust guys add him to your list as a scammer so that other newbs don't get suckered (like I did) in case he DOES try again.

I wish the GlobalTrust list was a bit bigger ;(

Thank you for your help Maged. I'll gladly take one for the team so this creep doesn't scam here again.

As I gaze into my crystal ball, I see the UniversalTrek account going dormant and no longer logging in...

I put in a request to verify the authenticity of the PMs in this thread. If accurate, they are pretty damning, unless UniversalTrek can provide the PM with the bitcoin address that the 1 BTC was sent to.

Small price to pay (relatively) to identify a scammer I guess.

Well, that wraps it up! As someone who is touted as the scam detector, I trust his judgment

This. I think this is probably all it's going to take to end the argument if UT isn't going to be forthcoming with any statements or evidence of his own.

NOOOO UniversalTrek a scammer? You don't say!

There is no arguing. I've provided a ton of proof and facts. You have yet to provide any proof whatsoever. It's clear as day, like I told you... Bitcoin and Litecoin are a public ledger. It doesn't lie. Only people do. I've provided it in black and white. The money was sent to your wallet. You withdrew it.

Even if you got hacked (which I doubt) -- the onus is on YOU to make it right.. simply claiming "your balance is zero" -- when its clear you did in fact receive the coins at the address you gave me, you should pay me the 1 BTC you owe me.

I choose to ignore children, my valuable time is better spent with other things than arguing with this kid...

Silence is golden. I'll get a moderator to look at this thread and see if they can list him as an official scammer. They can look at my private messages to verify if they want.

So to be clear, your position in this argument is that those messages are not real?

I know it came from him since he sent me the PM's All within a 15 minute period. Then the rip off happened and he kept sending me PM's. His address is listed in the screenshots and the block explorer URL show his address clearly.

Well, it's a public blockchain folks, so I think there really is only one question that needs to be answered here: "Does UniversalTrek own the LTC address ending in pZW?" If so, it's pretty clear money was received and spent. If not, did UT request to have funds sent to that address?

The screenshots look pretty damning, but I'd like to see UT answer that question.

You are correct. You haven't traded with me. You ripped me off, took 43 of my LTC and never sent a BTC in return like you said you would. You can't provide screenshots or block explorer URL's because there isn't one that exists that shows you being ripped off, just you ripping people off!

I have never traded with this guy  lol... wow, he fails to put up his temper tantrum because he was trying to scam me... hilarious

Here is a screenshot of the original transaction, right to the address he gave me.

Unfortunately in this world it seems that there are plenty of people out there trying to rip you off, even over what would be considered small potatoes.

I made an offer to trade LTC for BTC and UniversalTrek offered to trade with me. He did not want to pay me first because of trust, so I offered to send him 43 LTC for 1 BTC and once that transaction was complete, he could send me another BTC and I would send him 43 more BTC so that we both had to trust each other.

Of course this isn't equal since I had to go first... but I took the risk, after all, its a single BTC, who would risk their reputation on the site for that.

Apparently, UniversalTrek.

Here is a screenshot of him telling me to send him 43 LTC to his address:





I sent the transaction and of course it went through right away but only had 1 verification, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt and gave him some time. 3 hours later, he still claims he doesn't have the LTC even though I've sent him 3 URL's to different block chain explorers SHOWING that I sent him the money and at this point, it has 117 verifications.

Here is the transaction: http://ltc.block-explorer.com/tx/c89ab6aa3a572e2cdf7a707482a6da22899a875cb83d5ac4f42ace7378cddc2d





After he refused to acknowlege that I sent the coins and that he had them, and removed them from his address, I told him I would list him as a scammer so he said he would list me as one. I'd love to see his proof, as I clearly have all the proof.



Here is proof he moved it from the wallet I sent it to: http://ltc.block-explorer.com/address/LN7cfF95wXXN3tau1iMJVzkVfpw3eDFpZW

And ultimately he sent it to this wallet: http://ltc.block-explorer.com/address/LhGjZn8uMaNvjTUGH7aqqN44X3SznxTSzm

It is clear that he received the LTC, moved it, and then claimed he never received it. This guy is scummy and a liar. DO NOT TRUST HIM.
