Topic: HELP ON REFUND] Wrongy sent $3,900 worth of BTC plus .022 BTC (Read 262 times)

People should learn to ignore what email has been sent to them since scammers are using this kind of method to scam people and this is repitative one so hopefully many learned their lesson about not trusting up immediately on what they see especially when we are talking about money here. Verify is always the best action to avoid seeing the same case like this in future.

It's unfortunate that this scammers continue to succeed in reaping unsuspecting victims off their hard earned money.
It's been a long time since I clicked links on emails last, except for the ones am really sure of, alot of my friends have had their bitcoin web wallet hacked due to clicking links sent to them via email, they think it's their real wallet and ones they log in, In a matter of minutes, they discover that all they had in the wallet have gone, it's really heart breaking.
I hope nemesis catch up with those behind this evil act.

I have seen this quite often lately - people receive a link and click it, thinking they are going to a forum thread. however, they should know that if it is prompting them to log in again that they are not on the forums. The best bet is to always just navigate to the thread the old fashioned way or to at least verify the the actual path of the links being received.

Really sorry to see this happening so much recently.

I am very sorry that the experience here has been so bad, I remember from the beginning I suggested you use escrow, another important rule here almost nobody communicates outside the forum, I think you can still do business but always use escrow we have minerjones and others from that way is safer, another thing you should keep in mind is that if your account was compromised is that someone knows your accounts or otherwise your passwords are easily stolen and you should pay attention to that.

Just to make it clear
[email protected]
is not owned by me but obviously by a scammer.  

I only communicate via this profile about any trading happening on Bitcointalk.

Good luck with retrieving your funds, hope you can figure something out. But don't get your hopes up high.
Also please pm me about the latest auction if possible. Thanks.

But the timeline (as far as I could figure it out) is that the link was PMed (?) on Jan 9, but the money was sent (apparently to scammer(s)) on Jan 5.

Right, hotdog7 was apparently phished. The link uses strange characters to evade bitcointalk.org's detection of phishing links, but it was actually linked to a phishing site via [url].

True, it shouldn't work (not without some additional effort like a DNS hack but at that point why not just fake the actual bitcointalk.org), but it's really hard to follow what actually happened there. Perhaps OP is just a slob and typed the URL manually and put the wrong "r" in it.

But this isn't a valid domain name, is it?

What a jumbled mess... how hard can it be to describe the issue clearly and concisely?

Anyway, from what I can understand you were looking at e-mails instead of logging in to check actual posts/PMs and possibly you also got tricked by a fake/phishing site (note the fake-looking "r"):


Is actually:

It started on January 4th  11:31AM, when I received an email stating that, I am glad, it would be possible for you to write me a review about our transaction, it is important to be reliable, in the same way I will write positive for you. Thank you. Please write to my email: [email protected].

On January 7th morning, I noticed that I was not mark paid. So, I sent an email to MrCryptHodl [email protected] stating  that I noticed that I am not mark "paid" on the bitcointalk forum. January 8th, it was brought to my attention from another user that he could not PM me through Bitcoin Forum.

On January 9th at 2:19PM, I felt the pattern started again with another user I bidding on. I received email from Kyptowerk [email protected] stating, Hello,

I will send the payment address here by email if you win.
Thank you, Kryptowerk

At 3:23PM, I received another email from Kyptowerk [email protected] stating that, Please reply here if you get this email. Kryptowerk  At 3:26PM, I respond back with, You need to send a PM through Bitcointalk. At 9:20PM (while the auction was still going on), I received PM through BitcoinTalk Forum stating,

So you can take 20$ from it before you refund me tomorrow as an apology.

Thanks.

Sent .018BTC last night


refund sent, and do not charge the $ 20 since only the transaction fee is a lot you should use the Btc segwit chain otherwise the fees are very high.

I do not understand the message about the refund.

It was just a technical suggestion, your refund will arrive at any time to the address you sent me. Have a nice day.

Ok. Do you have a tracking number for Hodl Chips?

..  You canceled the purchase and I am refunding what you paid.  I don't understand what you mean by tracking number ..
your funds were sent only which takes a few minutes since they are from the exchange.

I never sent this. I guess you are correct.

I'm sorry I don't know what happened to your account but you must be careful..you must use stronger passwords ... open a topic that your account was hacked


Out another .018BTC. It is hard to continue to do busy here. I have another transaction to conduct with Kryptowerk to complete. Now, I do not know what to do here.

This was too easy for this scammer to get into this Forum and work me so much and Thiago007. I feel that I never seen this money again, I will seek all legal means and report FTC and other agencies.
