Topic: LEGENDARY BITCOIN ESCROW SERVICE (More than 19K BTC transferred) - alts too! - page 20. (Read 53486 times)

Over the last few weeks, scammers have tried every annoying trick in the book.  One of the annoyances has been sending me PMs in order to get a quote from me that they are using to send other members to try and scam.  This has been a waste of my time and is happening so frequently that I am to the point where I am no longer responding to stupid questions or users with negative feedback.

If you want to use my escrow service, read the OP and do it correctly.  I will no longer be responding to newbies with dumb questions or anyone with negative feedback unless I am bored and simply want to waste their time.  Also, I don't care what you're selling, but if you tell me it's gift cards, paypal, forum accounts, or altcoins, I will most likely tell you no.

I have plenty of longtime users I don't mind messaging back and forth with.  If you are one of those users, do not worry about this.  If you are a new user, read the OP. 

There is also a good chance I will be raising my minimum fee soon to try and combat scammers annoying me for small non-existent escrows.

And here next scam

Hi Poloherb,

Thank you for your offer, hoping it is a serious one as ive been messed about quite a lot via pm Sad
I really dont want to peel this coin so will accept your offer to keep it intact.
I dropped OgNasty a PM to act as escrow and he sent me this pm -

Hi Loqlow,

No problem acting as Escrow for your Casascius sale.

Please forward the buyer the link below to my main Escrow thread on the forum -

www.bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=303281

After he has deposited 40.05BTC to the Escrow address in my first post ask him to pm myself and you the transaction I.D.

After you have confirmed payment you are safe to ship the coin.

@Poloherb please pm me when you have received the coin and I will release the funds.

Cheers,
OgNasty

Ball is now in your court, drop me a pm with your full shipping info and the transaction I.D after you have sent the funds to OgNasty.

Coin will ship first thing Monday.

I only trust your direct answer... this is really a pity, i would like to have theese miners... 

Hurts to see, people still fall for the oldest scam trick in the book, impersonation. Quotes can be easily faked too, if you haven't noticed.
Edit: The scammer too seems to be really dumb, the profile the "Quote from Ognasty" leads to, is your profile 

I said i would buy 2 alchemist 256 Mhs for up to 5.7BTC both, and i received a pm, and we arranged the deal. Then the seller said me to escrow with OgNasty. Here are the last pm:


What do you think about this??? 

Remove the https:// when posting phising etc site. Anyway, as bitspill has said, it was clearly said in the last post that external links are not to be trusted, especially free ones

Please refer to the post directly above yours.

SCAM!!!!

WTF!!!!!

I'm very angry!!! 

There is a user directing people to a fake bitcointalk website with a fake post by me giving a fake BTC address.  Please make sure you are trading safely.  You would think the URL would be a pretty good giveaway.

I will not escrow bitcointalk account sales or any kind of fiat transaction.

Please don't ask me to escrow gift card sales.  There is no way I would release escrow immediately after you provide someone with a carded gift card and I will flat out deny you unless you have a long trusted trading history and are willing to wait until goods are received by the buyer.  If you argue with me about this, I will ignore you.

Please don't ask me to escrow bitcointalk account sales.  If you do, I will call the seller a scumbag and will call you a scammer.

DO NOT SEND BTC TO ANY ADDRESS EXCEPT THIS ONE:

IMPERSONATORS WILL DOCTOR MY QUOTES, IMPERSONATE ME WITH SIMILAR NAMES, GIVE FAKE BTC ADDRESSES, DIRECT YOU TO 3RD PARTY SITES, AND WILL USE INFORMATION IN YOUR WTB THREADS AGAINST YOU.  DO NOT SEND BTC ANYWHERE BUT THE ADDRESS ABOVE!

I will not sell my forum account, PGP key, or the private key to my public Bitcoin address.  I will not act as a 3rd party escrow for a deal in which I am also involved.

Fair enough. Thanks anyway.

No.  Traditional escrow only.  I do not like my actions tied to the actions of others.

Hi, do you provide escrow holding multisigs?

I have an address that needs escrow and need a trustful member of the community to be my pair sig.

Please read the OP before replying to a thread.  That was literally in the first sentence. 

Do you have a minimum amount for escrow?
Or do you escrow even the smallest of transactions?

I'm asking because I need an escrow for a $3 transaction.

A Friendly Reminder:  As the Bitcoin rate increases, so do the scam attempts.  If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.  Always use escrow, and make sure any communication of where to send BTC is sent directly from your escrow agent.  Trade safely!

Probably why you should rely on a trusted escrow agent with years of experience over a newbie who has probably never signed a multi-sig transaction or an unproven 3rd party service.
