It looks like a hacked or sold account. You should always avoid users that have changed email or password recently, unless you can verify ownership through an old bitcoin address.

What is more suspicious with this user, is they have received and sent feedback for this VIP member:

I have a feeling this VIP member account has been hacked/sold as well. Obviously this VIP account is a lot more valuable to them so they wouldn't mind losing the account glen123.

As others have said, rank means nothing because so many accounts are bought and sold. Act like you are dealing with a scammer behind every username and you should be a bit safer.

You know all that rank means is that is somebody has been on a website for a certain period of time..
Yes.

...and answered or created a certain number of questions or answers or comments.
It absolutely does not mean this, and your post looks like a classic sig. spam post disguised as a legit comment. You could write nonsense in the off-topic section, thus not really answers or nonsense. Alternatively, you could just purchase the account and scam someone which means that both "all that rank means" are destroyed.

This my motherfucker scammed me $37.00 of PayPal I have reported it to PayPal
I don't doubt you,  but you should fill out a scam accusation report for the community's sake, with all the proof you have.
Indeed.

You know all that rank means is that is somebody has been on a website for a certain period of time and answered or created a certain number of questions or answers or comments. This is something that's not hard to do it all. The biggest thing is going to hold most people back is time itself. Just because somebody has been going to the same business for years, or they've been doing the same routine for years doesn't make them a trusted member of society it just makes them somebody with a habit or somebody that likes to do the same thing over and over again. Put trust where you believe you can put Trust I do not listen to anybody else.

And you definitely should leave him negative trust, which I see you have not yet done.

Obviously a bought account, he pmed me asking me to send first the minexcoins but after I said escrow he didnt response even hes online!

It is better to use escrow service without checking rank of account.If you wanna to sell minexcoins it is safe to wait for exchange.

This shows that it is always better to use a trusted escrow even when trading with a high rank member on this forum, because people can easily buy a high rank member account on this forum, and they will continue to buy more new high ranking members account for the purpose of scamming, try to email neteller support and see if they can cancel your transaction.

Hi all. I´m here very sad because one guy scammed me.

The guy is @glen123: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/glen123-291856.

Everything was okey once he sold me 100 USD with Neteller:

https://blockchain.info/address/37hCqZm5xMj9rqX4U1t595Myx1th26nZZ8

After that, I required 500 USD more in BTC via Neteller. I tried to pay several times, but it seems like the amount was high. You can check it here:

https://k61.kn3.net/70010D7C2.jpg

After this, he didn´t send me the BTC. Check our skype conversation:

https://kn3.net/601D5AF70CAJPG.html

https://kn3.net/61E733C6E91JPG.html

https://kn3.net/61B34F20AABJPG.html

https://kn3.net/60FCAA319B2JPG.html

I paid around 500 USD and he didn´t deliver the BTC. We are talking about a legendary member.

What kind of shit must to be to stole the money to other person? How can I resolve this?

Any sugerence?

Thanks.


Well firstly, rank doesn't really matter now. With heaps of account sales going on, legendary accounts go for around 0.05 which is barely nothing. That account is probably bought anyways.

Please use the correct format next time:
Code:

[b][color=black]Proof of Payment: [/color][/b]

Next time use escrow or trade with someone who is more trustworthy.

Seems like that there is one other person scammed of their LTC here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/glen123-scam-for-11-ltc-proof-inside-2110656

This seems to be a scam that was well planned ahead. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the account that the user was operating on was bought because he used to post in broken English a week ago and now he's posting with perfect English.

Neteller is reversible, isn't it? You can try your luck trying to negotiate with neteller support, although i'm not sure that you'll get a positive response from them since you were the one that ultimately authorized the transaciton, not some hacker.

Take this as an expensive lesson learned, it could have been much worse, though.

Sadly it was probable a bought account and yes it is their " modus operandi " the sad part of this history that we have seen tons of times and it keep happening again, noobs are selling hacked accounts or people who deal in accounts are doin so " or buying them to later re sell ". Escrow is always mandatory when dealing with people without any vast trade history on larger amounts and I would recommend to use it anyway on larger amounts if you don't feel very well sending first high amounts of money. sorry for your lose mate.

Biggest misconception of all time a legendary member doesn't mean that he is trusted any type of account can be bought even a legandary if you check his trust page it shows password and email recently changed.
About your money it's most likely gone you can try contacting neteller they won't do much but please higher doesn't mean he his trusted use a escrow or trade on local bitcoins

Will the admin ban this account? The guy is still steals the money of persons like me.

Its unfortunate that you had to be scammed by an high ranking member who should even be a torch light to others coming but because they lack morals they care less but at the same time by default in a public forum like this, the onus is on you  to be safe. A mere "change email recently" should be a red flag that should not be ignored for whatever reasons. But you have learnt your lessons and I am happy you came out for others to learn. Just keep tab on NetTeller because they are the one that can do something about it at this time.

Thanks for the messages. I sent an email to Neteller to see if I can get a refund of this, or maybe block the funds of his account. Hope I can get a solution for this.

Rank doesn't measure trustworthiness indeed. Also, checking the trust page for feedback will be helpful. I read neteller terms, not sure if any of these is applicable to your case though but you could ask their support about it.

I've seen a lot of legendary members with negative trust.

This will serve as charged to our experience and warning to all members here that not all members here cant be trusted even a higher rank. What a waste because lots of newbie and lower ranks desired and eager to have a rank as high as that  but he just wasted it to become a scammer. Im thinking of if his account was hacked or he just really did that in reason. Undecided Undecided

Get your game girl
So who paid through netwller again ? Shits confusing.
If you have paid him through bitcoins ,sorry there isn't anything you could do.Yoi can share his personal details from netwller to flag the user or you can report the account to netwller as well.Valuable lesson learned ,do not fall for green trust ,rank or whatever when money is involved.Always use an escrow.

I was in touch with that guy to buy Amazon cards. Glad I haven't sent anything to him yet.
His profile says that he changed email address recently, he might have bought this legendary account in purpose to scam people.
So beware of legendary members with email changed recently.
