Hi, everyone been hit 2 times today, but ip's based in the uk and us, asking to make payment to my hdfc account using a payment service called xoom. the first guy had only 1 trade, when i asked him for documents, was going round and round as to how good the payment service is, but did not provide any documents. asked him to cancel, as something seemed wrong. as soon as he cancelled, within 5 min someone with a us ip sent me a request, asking to transfer money via xoom.
havent traded, but just wanted to know, this looks suspicious. just though would give everyone a heads up. i could be wrong, though.

I am sure it is the same guy using a VPN,
haha must be, the payment service looks decent, i had a look at it, but the way he spoke, smelled of a scam. i just couldnt figure out how he would do it.
Yeah better to be safe than sorry! The fact that he changed VPN to convince you as another user should tell you that he was looking to scam you. Apparently Xoom is a paypal company, so i am guessing they support charge backs? If they do, that could have been his modus operandi!
hmmm, it appears that they transfer directly to bank account, but in my experience with banks last 2 years, if they would request a charge back, the bank would have gone all out to block my account and what not. the banking system is so bad, i cant tell you, its the only reason i think bitcoin has a future.
