I am used to win big and lose big with btc so 5 btc is by no mean the worst loss I had, though yeah, I had better times and it was not great one to be scammed in.
I hope the fucker will spent them on healing his baldness.
Topic: I'm an idiot who just got scammed for 5 BTC :D - page 2. (Read 5794 times)
I think most of us been scammed one way or another during our time with btc 
And most of the times its usually a lesson for next time. But a scam of 5 BTC, is something else. It hurts if you lose that to a scam.

Not really except the BTC address I've sent coins to. It's posted on first page.

You have duplicate links in the OP. The correct link to the impostor Yankee.(BitInstant) is: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/yankeebitinstant-383069
This recently was pulled on me as well. The user they were impersonating was TomatoCage though and the username was Tomatorcage.
It's likely the same scumbag that did this as well.

I don't think of you as "stupid", I think of the scammer as a "bastard". 
Yeah, I'm agree with you, the OP just need more experience.
More careful on another transaction, make it into lesson.
I still can't believe you got scammed. You are Hero Member why you sent him first even if he was real segvec.
Why did not you used Escrow or asked him to send first.

I did sent to escrow but fake one too, lol.
That's why I said I am an idiot
You're not an idiot , the scammer is a bastard . The next time I suggest you to check the forum account ID and use an escrow , cheers.

Still selling? Interested in 1.5btc
Seleem I strongly believe you got scammed by old scammer on this website forum id "marcchernandez"
as this guy "misunderstood " is same scammer
as I just received below reply from this fucker as below
I could take the 2btc @ bitstamp rate and I'll pay the fees. This is my alt account, you can check the feedback on my main account marcchernandez. Magic 8ball is in possession of it for now because I took a loan from him. Pm him if you wish first.
If you're willing to, you can send me 0.5btc in good faith then I will send you the full amount of $750 and then you send me the rest. Let me know if that's good for you. I'm from the United states and will pay with western union.
If you want to use escrow that's okay with me too if you don't mind waiting.
If you agree please between 0.2-0.5btc so I know you're aerious before I send you the cash

this guy 100% scammer you so silly not to check forum ids and easily got scammed and lost 5 BTCs[/b]
Well, he is bastard for sure but you can't deny I was stupid here, it was too easy trick I failed on.
I don't think of you as "stupid", I think of the scammer as a "bastard".
I cannot agree more with you.
And so sorry for your loss, OP. Be careful next time.

Shit, that's bad, sorry for your loss man, I got scammed for a little a while back but not on the forum, I didn't tell anybody about it, felt a little dumb myself. Could you post the bitcoin address you sent the coins too, maybe someone can do a little tracking and find out more about them.
Ugh that's a tough amount to lose for a lesson.
For 5 BTC I would be investigating every detail from their trust
Since these users create accounts to scam users like these, and its illegal, can't the bitcointalk admins provide the IP addresses of such users? Would definitely help, if they are not using Tor. For 5 BTC I would be investigating every detail from their trust
