Topic: Master-P SCAMMER. I lost complete faith in this forum now. - page 7. (Read 80672 times)

I have seen evidence he has been involved in multiple scams in the past, several of which were perpetrated here. He really doesn't want his dox public, even if he is too stupid to know it.

He did get scared (larger payouts started only after the doxing threats) and he hasn't paid all of it back yet. So far there is no indication of this being anything other than a scam that turned sour, and he's still trying to drag this out. Perhaps hoping that some victims won't be able to sign a message for TECSHARE and get the dox.

I would also suspect that this is not his only scam so he might be inclined to pay 100% back to avoid further digging in his past.

Just my speculation of course.

Well if the problems were great enough he wouldn't have means to pay back, right?  So scamming becomes a viable option in that case.  But it looks for all intents and purposes that Master-P took out an interest-free loan from unwilling lenders.  I still can't figure out a good narrative for what happened here.  He's obviously paying the bitcoin back, albeit slowly, so he has it and has not spent it.  Maybe because he got scared?  I just shake my head at this.

I think there were a few of us that did 700 bitcoins at one time, for about 10,000 chips.

Ju!, stop feeding the trolls. hehe.

The only way to be pretty sure about the character of an online character is when he had the chance to get rich by stealing but didn't do it. For example dooglus. He held, i believe, coins worth $60 Million. He never would get a bigger chance to steal but he paid it back. I think there is no better proof of character than that. And it's highly likely that such a responsible person would not sell his account.

Maybe do a little research YOURSELF on the person you are trusting with your money. (I know, crazy talk)

The solution has been around for ages but it seems NOT A SINGLE TRUSTED ESCROW is pushing multi-sig.
Its always "You can trust this one or that one or ME with YOUR money" not a one pushing multi-sig. You just need to ask yourself why.

Escrow should never be used unless for small amounts and the end result should ALWAYS be helping to teach noobs how to use multi-sig.
If your escrow is not teaching you about, and how to use multi-sig, you should find another escrow.
Its YOUR Money. and with a little extra work, you get to stay in control of it.(if you figured out how to use bitcoin, you can figure out multi-sig too)

Esp. if you are looking for "free" escrow - Why would anyone do free work unless there was a payout at the end of the rainbow.
The only Free service I offer requires YOU to do all the work. I would only get involved when arbitration is needed.

In fact, I wouldn't even know you used my service unless I'm contacted for arbitration.

You finally found a moneys that you are completely in control of.
When you hand this money over freely to a stranger, it is NO LONGER YOUR MONEY.
Stay in control, use 2-3 multi-sig with a trusted arbitrator.

And do your own research.   ......or buy a big box of tissues.

The choice is yours.

...And yes, I am going to put out there that I have been doing "FREE Escrow" in bitcoin-OTC for many years.

But if you did your research, you would already know that.

Could you please rephrase this to a more accurate statement?  Though he may anonymously have an app hosted with moneypot, he has absolutely no connections with or to it.

I just got over a way to finish this kind of things . please read it full: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1326409.new#new

his word doesnt hold much value at this point.
also, even if he was telling the truth about being hacked, fact remains he can never be trusted with other people's money again. in the case he was hacked, theres nothing saying it couldnt happen again; him holding the funds would be a risk in itself. then again, its pretty convincing that he wasnt actually hacked, so that doesnt even matter.

Scammers always have a tendency to come back and scam as much as he can although he mentioned he will not return here.

Why do you keep repeating that?

Nothing in Master-P's behavior during this debacle suggests that he's a trustworthy person.

Even if you believe his tales it would mean that the Master-P account is in possession of a hacker and negative trust should not be removed.

And finally - if you would like to use his escrow services you can go right ahead. Negative trust does not ban a user or otherwise prevent from doing business. It's just a warning. Feel free to ignore it.

Yeah I don't think he'll be back to do escrow any time soon.   He says he's done with this community, so he'll probably not be back and even if he did come back no one here trusts him.

less then half funds to repay  until he can come back to bitcoin forum to comtinue to do his escros services.
would you remove his negative feedback if he resolved them all?

Not likely he would spend over 2 years to scam that amount, here's what I think did happen(nearly the same as yours)
1. Eric builds reputation since 2013
2. During the last couple of months , he either gets in a economic problem, or starts noticing how easy it would be to scam a huge amount
3. Eric buys multiple accounts to set up phony escrows with people and steals bitcoins
4. Eric claims he was hacked and wasn't him when people start finding out
4. Eric moves funds to attempt to exit scam
5. But oh shit, Eric forgot to hide his identity and people knew who he was

Staffs cannot get them involved in escrows and how will you just trust a staff because he has a profile tag of a staff? I will still not feel 10% secure in escrowing with an unknown staff. Even theymos also.

Its better you locked that useless thread.

I went to reply to this thread, only to find it locked by the time I was ready to post.
My reply:
Almost every single person scammed on this forum DID go and look at a "list" of trusted peeps.

Another list in NOT the answer and is not going to change anything. Its is just too easy for scammers to infiltrate the list and look like they are legit.(they really do create new shills every day, this way, when one 'gets caught' they have a dozens more ready to step in its place)

Why not tell people to STOP looking at these list that are NOT kept up-to-date and are mostly started by questionable people in the first place.

Maybe do a little research YOURSELF on the person you are trusting with your money. (I know, crazy talk)

I am truly amazed how much info is found out about these scammers AFTER the fact. This exact same info was available BEFORE you handed a complete stranger your money on the advice of another stranger, based on a number next to their fake name.

Anyone caught dealing with selling of accounts should be avoided completely, forever. (you cannot ban all these peeps, but you can avoid them, and mark them in your trust list)
This includes buyers, sellers and escrows.
There is absolutely NO REASON for a trusted person to keep a list of shills. No reason for a trusted person to SELL THEIR IDENTITY.
And no reason why a trusted escrow would get involved with such deceitful practices.(except profit for them at your expense later)

Giving money to admin or staff does NOTHING to fix this problem.
Do I really need to break out the list of trusted staffers and mods that have gone scammer?

To me, the problem IS the trusted lists.

You sound like TecShare. But I agree with your advice (which to me is common sense) to do your own research before making a deal.

Consumed more than hour reading this thread and the posts, really shocking news about Master-P.
I used his escrow services for the near past, and don't think he was a great scammer..Just trying for years to build trust in the forum to scam people , to scam the people who trusted him, really shameful behavior and deserve Jail. I feel like the whole community here, not only me, was shocked as well, and meprising this guy and hating him for his shameful act, that's why each one try to help the other just to know and then publish the real identity of this scammer. What Eric is earning now ? he lost everything because his selfish..The money isn't everything in this world, when you earn the trust of a big community it's in my opinion best than thousands of dollars, the money will come and can be earned legally, but when you lose the trust of people you can't get it back , you lose everything.
And now he's refunding not by generousity, but because he's afraid of jail, and feel it's possible now..
