Topic: Just got scammed by a "Legendary" member ! (Read 1321 times)

Thank you for giving me a chance,
As I already explained the @mikeywith about the issues I was facing, and I prefer keeping it private. I can tell you I had a medical issue and due to which I was unable to solve the problem created here but still when I came back here just repaid him for his loss, as you can check it by his statements above and also apologized him for the inconvenience cause. He agreed to my issue and found it genuine.

I am also apologizing here for late reply but my real life conditions kept me away from it. Still I have repaid the depth and am now looking forward to work in legit way the help the forum.

@OGnasty and @KWH please remove the red tag from my profiles as I have resolved the issue here. And also working here for the betterment.

Thank you!

I would be open to hearing more opinions on this.

I am here to remind OGnasty and KWH that please remove the red trust or at least make it to neutral as I have proved my innocence here.

I have also sent PM to you but I guess you missed it and OG nasty have just blocked me from messaging him . please unblock me.

Understandable. Now I see your neg was deleted from their trust page. I might just downgrade it to a neutral to reference this topic.

I deleted my negative review on his wall because he paid back the money he owe me.. but i am keeping this topic unless the mods think it should be deleted. i think it's for everybody's best interest to keep this topic because i am pretty sure some people won't delete their negative trust on stingers trust page ,and they use this topic as a reference, so others need to see it, read it and then judge for themselves whether or not they should trade with stingers.

i will also edit the OP and mention that stingers did pay back my money but i will leave the initial  "story" so that people can learn from my mistake to never ever trust someone just for their merit or rank.

Says another scammer? lol

Honestly im surprised ANYONE even still deals on Bitcointalk, We all know a forum which encourages the SALE/TRADE of user accounts isn't to be trusted.
It has become common for accounts to be sold/hacked for scamming purposes, Its like the only reason the forum is still active lol.

Staff/Admins don't care its been proven time again, Sorry for your loss hopefully you'll learn from this experience.

I never could understand why all scammers are asked to wait until the next day. It makes sense?

Ok so just to clarify things to everyone here. I would like to report that "stingers" paid back the money "150$" that i sent to him. he texted me on telegram as well as on this forum explaining to me that had his own reasons and asked for my forgiveness.

now regardless of  his intentions or story of why he stopped replying. I do appreciate that he finally came and talked to me and of course paid my money back.

so from my side the problem has been solved and i do forgive him for what happened. i will also delete my negative feedback on his trust page.

 but again this is a lesson learned , never deal with anybody without escrow.

thanks to everybody for supporting my case and thanks for keeping this forum as safe as possible.


Mikey.

I think you should first do some research before just claiming someone a scammer and also know the views of the person once to whom you are pointing too.

I guess you should be banned from here for supporting a big Ponzi scheme like bitconnect!

Sorry for replying late but I was in a situation when this deal took place and I didn't have any intention to scam anyone.  I have explained my situation to  mikeywith and solved all the misunderstandings between both of us. I have also apologized him for my mistake and have repaid the amount for which he had a loss.

I would like to catch the attention of all the people who think I am not trusted and gave me a negative trust rating for this.  I respect that many DT members are active here and are doing great work to keep the forum away from such type of frauds. But as this is already proved that I am not guilty please remove the red paint from my profile it really itches me

Thank you for understanding everyone and also again a sorry for all the unconvinced caused due to this act of mine.

The guy has a lot of scam accusations against it's a big warning sign, his being a legendary member is useless because people and campaign manager will not let them join their campaign so he is as good as a newbie to me he should be ban here I don't know if he is the real owner of that account.

Guess who is PMing me with BTC instead of making this shit right?

ETA: Shit made right I guess.

exactly my friend !  . the first and only RED he had was some drama bullshit! . that's why i didn't really care about it ! . now the new REDs he got is SCAM-BASED. so it has more meaning

Not all the time you can't consider someone as a scammer after seeing the red paint because it has gives for so many reason so you need to read the trust rating and also the reference link to identify the scammer or maybe some other reason.Initiallt the user stinger has give ret trust for merit abuse so we can't consider him as scammer but now he has scammed someone so the appropriate link will be added by the DT member to mark him as scammer.

I think so too. Don't you see his red TRUST?

Dude got his wall painted in red and that's the point of the scam accusation forum. thanks to everyone who helped in the painting process  , i hope that he's now a more OBVIOUS scammer.

A legendary with negative trust was way less than $150 before the merit was introduced, I believe it was stingers lucky day that he got a deal of $150 for a $50 account at max.

You shouldn't be trusting any Legendary/Hero member just because of his rank. Back in the old days (before merit), ranking up was pretty easy. You could just visit the forum every 14 days, post any nonsense and after some time (when your potential activity has high), you could post burst a lot of spam and rank up in a few weeks.

Not only this, but his account was also NEG TRUSTED. Which means that the account is useless to join bounties or signature campaigns. Thus, making any scam worth for its owner if all he cares about is money.

Before trusting anyone, you need to check his background. If the user doesn't have any reputation (or a bad one), you should never trade with him without a escrow.

Exactly the way i was thinking before sending him the $$$ . i mean with such an account rank and a little bit of brain and work you can make some good money !! .  look at all these Digital goods , the least you can do is to act like a middle men between too newbies ! make some profit . because by default NEWBIES " like myself" . trust those  "Legendary" members based on the exact point you stated ! . it's common sense and simple human nature ! but it's all wrong in this forum ! .  i have dealt with bunch of newbies and some were legit and professional ! . so this Rank shit is meaningless to say the least !. my brother was scammed by a localbitcoin paypal seller who has well over 5000+ reviews and over 1000 btc trades ! . guess for how much ? 500$ ! dude charged back and ran away ! . it was probably a big hit for him that made him run away " not the 500$" probably another HUGE hit that worth a couple years of working " my brother was just unlucky to be among those poor people who had pending transactions with that guy while he was planing for the big hit.  many people will act and be legit for a while for a BIGGER and LARGER scam-plan ! . you will be amazed when you see the numbers of previously-legit members including former escrow agents on this forum turned into scammers when they had the chance !. 

Money drives people crazy ! anybody may turn into a cold blooded scammer at any second specially when they can easily get away with it ! moral of story " as long as you on the internet the chances of getting scammed is relatively HIGH.
