Hello everyone,
Alright, let's start from the beggining. I will make the story as short as possible.
So I have my thread, where I sell bitcoins with really nice rate. You can see it right there:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sell-btc-bcc-ltc-eth-shop-stable-10-rate-paypal-ff-or-gift-only-4387173I wanted to sell this guy @hottstepper 0.2 BTC.
Here is his profile:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/hottstepper-1685399He wanted OgNasty to escrow the deal. I agreed.
Here is the private message that hottstepper sent to me and OgNasty:

https://imgur.com/a/i2pjyHqAll these things seemed already fishy to me. First of all as you can see - there is no real message from OgNasty (with OgNasty being an author), instead there is my name, as if I sent a private message to myself...
But the email seemed pretty legit. However, I did not send him the BTC and I thought I will get deeper into this for a while.
Then OgNasty gave me negative rep, calling me a scammer, even though the trade has never been made and I did not scam anyone:
https://imgur.com/a/zdvlTHyI thought "well I can agree to send BTC to his address as he is really trusted and maybe we can still get things done." So all I asked him for was to send me a message directly. Which he claimed he did and sent me a PHISHING LINK to some other site.
Here is my email asking him to send me PM:

https://imgur.com/a/wa8XEOphere is where it forwards and also there you have my reply, after I clicked the link and saw that address, I've decided, screw this, I wanna cancel the trade, not gonna make any business with these guys... but still I wanted the negative rep removed, so I thanked OgNasty for his time and asked him if I owe him anything for that, he told me to just send him a tip to the BTC address he provided before. And I've sent him 5$ BTC as a tip to that address.
Here is the transaction from my coinbase account:

https://imgur.com/a/33kGKDLthere is no such a message!
So OgNasty was involved in all this... as he gave me the negative rep.
But still I did not trust this guy at all, I've decided that I would like to cancel the trade and asked him kindly to remove the negative rep, I wanted to run a long-term business on this forum as my rates are pretty competitive, so I wanted negative rep removed, as it got me this "Trade with extreme caution" thing.
Here is my email I wrote him:
https://imgur.com/a/BuwUpeNAnd then he has asked for a tip - I've sent that 5$ and then look at this... he wants me to pay him 100$. LOL.

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DEALING WITH THIS GUY!!
