Yes. Of course, thats also happening now. I just said that to that guy just to support my own side.
There was an incident once: A trade was opened. ID verified, bank account verified, phone number, everything else done. The buyer paid 13K to my bank account. Released bitcoins almost instantly. Exactly 1hr after that trade a guy called me asked : "So when you are going to deliver my 'puppies'?"
He paid that money to someone in dubai to buy Golden retriever puppies. And I was introduced to him as the Indian agent who will be delivering puppies to the guy.
And you know, it is really very very difficult to make them understand the whole things what ever happened. First question what they will ask is "What is bitcoins?" If you can make them understand what it is then they will trust you. If you are not able to, then they are not gonna believe you so easily.
I remember I spoke to this guy for more than 2hrs on that day. Finally solved - An amicable settlement !!!
Thats quite a funny situation and a troublesome situation to be in. Perhaps you could have talked to that guy and had asked how he thinks his bank account was hacked, and why he gave all his ID information to this third party who claimed to be selling dogs to him.
