It looks like his IP address is 70.208.200.218 which resolves to Verizon wireless. It looks like he is probably using a Skype app on his phone.

"Looks like"? Where are you getting this information? Were you in contact with him recently?

The hospital and brother situations are likely just excuses in my opinion. Maybe it is true but they seem like the first port of call for scammers to buy some time to me. They also wouldn't explain why he was still taking money in and this has been going on for quite some time so that's why I don't buy it.

Guess since he likely turned away i could say what he told me. He told me his grandpa has cancer and knowing the US health system it was an explaination to me why he needs money and doesnt give it back. Though when he tells other stories to other users then this most probably is not right.

Yes, people can be saddled with debt for hospital bills but even in USA you don't have to pay up front for care. I think you're right that he's just offering up excuses. Very sad situtation in any case.

He contacted me for selling some BTC through Western Union some day ago. So I don't think he gave valid excuse of hospital.

There is surely something fishy.

http://prntscr.com/7sn6i9

Did you send him it? Sounds like he doesn't plan on stopping scamming anyone soon. What's his skype? You can get his IP if he's online but he might be using a proxy or something.

No I did not sent because I can't send WU because of Indian govt. rule. We can only receive.

He is still online on away mode.

His response was that he couldn't send WU because he is in India so I would doubt he sent him money, especially considering how expensive it is to send money overseas.

What ID? People can easily buy fake drivers licenses for around $100 or maybe even less and that's probably all most require, though hopefully he did leave some real info behind. Some people don't intend to scam from the get-go either but get themselves into a tricky situation and get desperate or just decide to take what they can get. If people do have this info I think now is the time to start collecting it and posting it to see what people can track down.

This is my impression with Maidak. I believe he made some mistakes and possibly took some bad luck in real life (there was a discussion earlier about him being in hospital). I'd still like to see a concrete list of who he owes and how much to each. People keep popping in here and saying "o what a scumbag" or "I talked to his brother" and I think it's confused the issue a bit. OP talks about 400$ but someone else was talking about 10K. What's the actual state-of-affairs. Can we compile an actual list of who is owed?

When people would send him money via money gram or Walmart to Walmart then whoever is sending money would need to write the name of the person who they are sending to and he would need to show the agent an ID that matches that name in order to pick up cash.

Sure he could use a fake ID to pick up the money however that would be very risky to use, especially over long periods of time. If he didn't plan on scamming from the start and didn't have any reason to keep his identity secret (like because he was busting scams for example) then I would doubt he would go through the trouble of using a fake ID

That is extremely sketchy. I saw on his group buy thread that he claimed to make 6 figures running his website. Judging by the amount of money he stole, I would say that is probably not true.

Anyone who boasts about this stuff is very likely just blowing hot air up your arse. It's like when people make out they're hot shot traders or investors but need your money to do it. If you're so good at trading why do you need my money? Make it yourself. Maidak is unfortunately very likely just a long-conner. Nothing you can really do about those people other than only trade with people you absolutely trust which isn't always as easy as that.

I think people should post all the info they have on maidak but I'd be surprised if most of it wasn't bs. Even that poor quality picture of him looks to me like it was probably just found on the internet somewhere.

People should have a strong indication of his identity considering that he often sold Bitcoin via ways that required him to show his ID that would need to match what the sender put as the receiver's name. I believe that he would also have some things shipped to him over time which would help confirm his physical location. Some money transmission services will also confirm at least the general location where he was when he picked up money.

He replied and said he will be making this right with everyone.

11 days later it looks like that was not much more than an excuse.

Guess im lucky that i could get my money out when a month later he goes scammy. Roll Eyes

If this goes longer then maybe all his contact details arent valid from the start. Local Voip-Number maybe and other things? If someone wants to set such thing up then this would be possible.

Maidak has been really sketchy for the past 1 year or so. He constantly messaged me on Skype looking for me to invest in projects with him. It seemed that the project that I invested into was secondary to the investment itself. Here's some examples of the weird / sketchy convos I've had with him. Maidak strikes me as the type of guy who acts very successful, but it's all just smoke and mirrors. He's claimed to me that he has made 6 digits many years, but in hindsight I think he's been making peanuts for a long time.

Here's some examples of him trying to push absolute trash investments on me.

Sebastian or anyone who was a victim of Maidak's fraud/scam:
why dont you guys pursue any legal action against him??

I wasnt. He sent the coins, or let someone send for him, after i threatened him to open up a scam accusation thread.

And i think its way too early for legal actions. You would have costs without them making sense. He now is under real pressure. When he doesnt come through then such actions might be worth it.
