Topic: Localbitcoins user Scammed me, possible money launderer (Read 1387 times)
is it not Localbitcoins about face to face trading?
wait you didnt use some type of escrow on localbitcoins?
Moneypak business, you obviously don't understand it all.
Moneypaks are often used in scams or ransomware so thus there are high premiums from people who accept them, generally 20-25%. A lot of them sign up people as he offered you to increase their efforts since it is hard to move a ton of moneypaks before getting your SSN blocked by greendot.
I was able to make 5k in about 2 months doing it fully on my own. It was easy and nice. However, after 2 months I can no longer use any moneypak accepting debit cards essentially.
When you accept moneypaks you need to remove the funds IMMEDIATELY. Otherwise you can get screwed. Moneypaks can be chargedback successfully but only if the funds have not been withdrawn yet. Meaning if you withdraw the funds you're safe.
Keep that in mind if you trade again for moneypaks.

How does one recycle MP codes?
I'm so pissed at that fucker, good luck trading on localbitcoins in the future. As soon as the site's back up the fuckers getting a nice review and a post in the forums.

He sells bitcoin for MP at a much higher rate than takes the MP codes he gets and uses them to buy bitcoin with from other people at a lower rate. that way he does not get cards banned for using MP's too much.
I noticed the site was down too, kind of a scary thing, hope they get back up soon. Always nerve racking when sites go down without warning.

It wasnt claimed by him, he recycles MP codes, so in short he got scammed, then he scammed you to cover his damages it was the original purchaser of the card that got the check.
"Markburg2000" scammed me for 400 dollars worth of BTC
I would like to report that I have been scammed for 400 dollars by a user on localbitcoins with whom I have been trading for a couple months. I have never had too many problems with him, except that around 2 months ago I traded 400 dollars worth of bit coins with him. Before the trade, he mentioned something about being worried that moneypak would have some issues related to paypal or something. When I cashed the moneypak, I received a notice from paypal saying that the moneypak had been flagged and that I would receive a refund check for the amount in the mail in a couple of days. However, it never came. Months later I called moneypak and they told me that the moneypak had been claimed by the owner. The only person who could have claimed this is Markburg. The individual trading has refused to send me the money.
The user has also offered me an interesting job: he tells me that he moves large amounts of money via bit coins and that he needs help moving the money around. He told me that he would like to send me money pak codes, have me cash the moneypak codes, and then load the money onto a rechargeable card and then send the money to him via the card. He told me that he will pay me an 8% cut of whatever amount I move and that he needs to move around 10,000 dollars a week.
I will be able to confirm the username once localbitcoins is back up. It is "mark burg" followed by some number.
Here is the "contract" he sent me:

Here is his phone number, provided on the site, and here is the number which he has further contacted me with:
480-719-0418
610-766-7136
He goes by the name "albert" when he has talked to me over the second number.
His email: [email protected]
