Hey at least I pm'd you to check if you did escrow it to make sure. Other wise I would have never pm you.
Well, PM before you send the coins next time, as the coins are effectively lost if you've sent it to the scammer's address.

Why don't all you fourm spammers and haters go away. Why doesn't anyone do anything to these scammers on this fourm. This website is trash it needs these bugs fixed. Why can you edit what people are quoted saying.
Hey at least I pm'd you to check if you did escrow it to make sure. Other wise I would have never pm you.
I tried contacting John K. before I sent the coins no reply though. Until later then I was told it was fake he didn't setup the escrow.
Mate, I have a life outside the forums. Yes he forward the message he received from John K.
Huh?! Did you have proof that he setup the escrow with John ? I do not see any note by John here.
Hey man, John K said he'd do escrow for our deal. He told me to send the funds to his escrow address 1GG3CLYd36tmU2X73rmHYzsTtaJcNwMcCC. Once I see the first confirmation to that address, I'll send you your coins.
Get it?
No he created the message, you didn't check the signature, John was never involved, you sent your coins straight to the scammerThe scammer set up the escrow not me and the escrow was set up with John K.

Also, you sent the coins before even sending the PM to me:I just sent money to 1FMkokNtu7oQyjwaYcM5wDQG9VUN4hUBMb foofight said this was your escrow. I am the buyer buying ripple from boofight and he is the seller. I sent bitcoins to here 1FMkokNtu7oQyjwaYcM5wDQG9VUN4hUBMb and waiting for him to send ripple.
Ok thanks for clearing this up but how do I read a pgp message if it wasn't sent to my pgp public key? And how do I know if its your key anyone can copy and paste. Apparently I am not the only one who got scammed.
.... You don't understand how escrows work, don't you? You need to verify that it's the escrow you're sending the funds to. Hell, I GPG sign every escrow contract I send out, be it 1 BTC or 1000BTC - if the signature is wrong IT ISN'T ME! In this case, you didn't even verify if it was me who sent you the escrow contract directly via PM.
Can you do escrows without having to do GPG signatures? That is a pain in the ass and I'd prefer not to use them.
GPG signatures are for the security of the users involved - I know most people are not verifying that the signatures are valid, but it makes sense when you're dealing with 1k+ BTC. Also, I send the contract out via my account directly... that would be the baseline to confirm that I sent this contract out.

Please read up on how GPG works - the hash data after the message is different if even a backspace is inserted in the text. At the very least, please verify that I messaged the escrow contract to you directly.

Holy shit, I WAS NOT THE ESCROW damnit. OP got a PM from foofight stating that I was escrowing the deal, and sent the coins to the address foofight 'forwarded' to him blindly. I escrow around 2k BTC PER WEEK and it does not make sense that I would run for this amount.
I think OP needs to change his name to zeroIQ.

We did a escrow but it looks like escrows don't work he ran off with the coins.
Who did you use for escrow?

If possible, GPG sign your agreement to prevent any discrepancies later on and please ship with tracking to prevent problems during delivery.

On the event that any problems arises, he will release the escrow to whichever party that presents him with the most convincing proof and/or after an open discussion with others or theymos.
