We have a "Selling BTC" ad on localbitcoins.com
My ad had been running for a week, and I have done 2 genuine transactions thru the ad. Had posted my phone number for trade inquiries, which really helped, until this dude came along.

I still don; tone thing about this.
How did he get to know that you all had localbitcoins account in the first place.?

Even if you used the same username, how did he find out your email address and phone number (unless you have advertised it publicly somewhere)

Thanks for you prompt reply.  Smiley. Who is the person who operates it and anyhow can you check with the person if he still operates and buy/sell the coins.

Has anyone traded with them?

www.buycoins.in - Has any one traded here?

Few of my friends and myself was wondering is this site genuine, as to many emails sent to the address provide on the site not a single time its being responded. Further there is no more details about the site other then the FAQ.

Has anyone traded and if yes how was your experience?

I know the person who built and operates it. But not sure if it is still active.

i read ... i was quoting puneBTC's post about the fee when he thought it was that guy....

but personally if a person is sending and calling so many ...he isn't a professional and it also can be a case he might be playing around with u guys...

Of cource he is a noob that's why he used a .exe file instead of pdf/word or a phishing page.
His server size was 6mb and it wasn't even crypted.

He wasn't playing he was just trying hard to find some fool and steal his money, and funny thing is his file was downloaded 7 times.

Since I won't be using this wallet again:
Here is the blockchain. Its all greek to me man.

https://blockchain.info/address/1GH3cecc4RMDr45du2wxTQBkj1parhvjX5?filter=2


Is that your localbitcoins, receiving address?
You just need to check transactions which is below "Send/Receive bitcoins box"

@Escrow.ms:

So initially I was playing along with him (till I moved my BTC out of localbitcoin). I asked him that I am also from Lucknow, etc. Let's meet up, blah blah:

He told me his address was:
12/56 hajratganj
Lucknow
Near kawabi biryani
(which I'm sure is fake)

He has also posted shady ads on quikr: (same phone number)
http://varanasi.quikr.com/Earn-7-per-month-on-your-investment-W0QQAdIdZ136296511

It is a Reliance Uttar Pradesh number. This guy is such a newbie scammer! Who uses whatsapp man? Smiley

XD

BTW it's Airtel U.P so he's from lucknow or some nearby city for sure and yeah i have seen those ad's.

I can identify my wallets in the blockchain. Rest were all bulk transactions / fees etc so its confusing. Also, this was a negligible amount so I'm getting confused with the fees, etc.  Maybe my balance randomly went to zero (fees etc), while I was fighting with him on Whatsapp. He was getting pissed off with my abusive language and threatened to delete my account. I was asking him to meet me in person if he has the ba**s! Sounds funny, but it wouldn't have been funny if I had REAL money in my account, not just pocket chillar.


Click on wallet and check all the transactions details and yes it's not funny if someone is loosing his hard earned money.

I thought to play with him little bit, but after your post, I couldn't stop myself from doing call.
I hope no one gets scammed, but if someone does, I wouldn't mind going to lucknow.
