Ouch, 5 BTC? I won't laugh at you, because getting scammed is always a shitty feeling. I have been scammed for far less, but now I know I should not feel shitty or complain about my little loss, 5 BTC is alot of money dude. But this will be the first and last time you do this right? Smiley

Heard of Bitcoin OTC? This is a web of trust. Here you can sell 5 BTC fairly easy without any problems because many people there are trusted. http://bitcoin-otc.com/ '

Anyways, Im sorry for your loss man!

Might help ypu to avoid being idiot like me.

Was selling few btc, and posted on a thread of a guy who was buying. Got the PM later that he wanted to buy, I insisted on escrow, he suggested Yankee (Bitinstant), good ols user and I accepted.

Only when I sent coins to supposed escrow I noticed that account I sent to was completely new and had dot after Yankee, while supposed segvec I was trading with is actualy seqvec.

5 BTC gone to wind due to my stupidity.

So, be careful and avoid doing the same mistake.

Accounts involved - https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/seqvec-395486 and https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/yankeebitinstant-383069

You're allowed to laugh at me, I deserve it.
