LOL, i see your checking up on me Yes and NO, i have a couple of GBs that im doing, you can say that I am "LOOKING out for MY Investments". Its the smart thing to do. You’ve been very helpful and on point with all your updates and i don’t think i would have invested with you 3 more BTC BTC , Plus what I already have giving you (Total of 7.5 BTC BTC i believe), if i didn’t TRUST YOU!. But you never KNOW? Right!? but to answer ur question? Yes, All this over lil' o' U".
I Hope you don’t take any offense to it :0) ?

  I wonder which of these fine fellows told you i made this post    
lol

That is strange.  It doesn't say "You shall not own slaves."

Thanks ~ Good info ! 

Wow, thanks for that, I now believe in god. Thanks for showing me the truth.  I knew the Flying Spaghetti Monster was real after all..

Assuming it's theft rather than a "misleading scam," there are a good few companies which will give you information, too, if you provide them details, and especially if you're a customer wanting information on people accessing your account. For example - maybe you want as much information as possible on someone who accessed your email account without authorization. A good few companies will provide this without a LEO demand backing it up (which you pretty much need for online crimes, where the police are about as useful as a dirty sock unless the loss is for $millions), though I found Gmail is a painful exception (they may be reversing this policy some time in the future, though). Amazon EC2 was also largely uncooperative, though the provided me some registration details of the person who used the service to compromise my account. However, simply by asking, you may be rewarded with the information which leads to the big break in info you need. -but again, that assumes it's theft rather than a contract violation.

It depends how they scammed you.  A lot of things people regard as scamming are civil issues rather than criminal offences, meaning there's nothing the police can do to help you.

lol ~ you got me ~

Or just PM him the image so you don't have to guess at which IP it was.

Ah, so you're just a cult wackjob trying to convert someone?

Speaking as someone who has been scammed (remember kruniac?)  It is pointless to try. Even after giving Full legal name, phone number, street address to my state troopers (and verifying above info with his local police department) nothing happened.  Short of hiring a local thug to take care of things outside of the law (I do not recommend this) you are hosed.

Your local police force won't want anything to do with it as it happened on the internet.

Their local police force won't want anything to do with it as it didn't happen in their jurisdiction, they will instruct you to file locally. (see #1)

You'll then realize that you are in a hopeless no-win hot potato game with the various authorities so you'll file with the IC3 http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx never to be heard from again.

GB means "group buy" ~ im in a group buy ~ i am NOT that kind of person bro! but thank you for your help!

And God spoke all these words, saying:
2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
13 “You shall not murder.
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
15 “You shall not steal.
16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

I've been thinking this less and less lately. People keep getting caught by being shockingly lazy. Ulbricht and Shavers being the two examples most deeply burned in my mind... Experimentally, the level of laziness and arrogance is usually only matched by scam victims who the scammer must be very hard-working and smart to've scammed them.

GB??

anyway...

don't even think about scamming.  You'll eventually get caught.....

No one! ~ just asking ~Im in a GB and would like some info on scammers just in-case the Guy wants to run and take our BTCBTCBTC

Thanks

There is a scam accusation thread for that.  Like someone else said you'd be surprised how much info this community can help you find on a person. And once they are identified you be suprised how quickly some of them want to pay back.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2774678

who scammed you and how much did they get.

You can easily post an image such as this:



hosted on your own website.

Then anyone who views that image, such as those that are viewing this thread, will have their IP address show up in your site logs.

You can then use those IP addresses as you wish to try to trace every viewer of that image.

You can then run hacking programs on each of those IP addresses to try to gain access to their computers.

Then once in the computer there is a wealth of information that can be found on each and every person who viewed that image.

Great stuff the Internet...

If a person starts out intending to scam, your chances of catching them are slim to none since they will have used anonymous tools from the start.

It depends what the person did...

You can't just say "this guy scammed me on this forum for $500 worth of bitcoins" because they will just laugh at your for that.

If you have something worth a good amount of money + it is some sort of legit business dealings you could have a case.

if the amount was $1000 equivalent stolen, and its costs $2000 to investigate it... don't expect the police to waste resources on something that wont produce a fine big enough to cover costs

What happen if u have the scammer details like name and id, would police do something if i go to them?
