I was also trying to trade with Peezr but after I mentioned the word "escrow" I never heard from him again.

Two sellers are selling MSC at 0.135 in the order book.

WTB 5 @ 0.135BTC using escrow.

Edit: done.

I'm not claiming i got hacked. Its what happened. Did you remember ppl got hacked a few days ago?

I still don't quite get it.

Are you claiming you didn't do it or are you a regretful thief?

You claimed you got hacked? At what point?

My bid 20 @ 0.138 have been fulfilled. Please help removing the bid. Thanks.

Actually I have the saved info so if Doran agrees i can put it here. Pouncer has to agree also

I think maybe it is acceptable to make the thief's address public here? If Doron does not mind his address is disclosed too, disclosing that transaction may help us to trace it to the thief.

No don't do that. If pouncer agrees, I'd like to reimburse him. My account is the one who has gotten hacked. I changed my password so futurely hope it doesn't happen again.

Pouncer, you did a great job as an escrow agent and you are not liable for the loss in my opinion. The instructions for payment of the BTC were in your original PM. The victim was tricked by an unscrupulous and dishonest person, who is liable for this loss. What he did amounts to a criminal offense -- theft.

Following the incident reported by Doron404 below, here is a summary of what transpired (timestamp in UTC +13hrs):

09-12-2013 8:41:42
I received an escrow request from Doron404 (buyer) for an MSC trade with Peezr (seller) worth a total of 2.88 BTC

09-12-2013 11:51:46
I sent out a PM to buyer & seller containing Trade Details based on information received from Doron404 through the escrow form. The Trade Details PM requested both parties to verify that the information contained therein was correct, and if so to proceed according to the instructions.

Escrow address given was: 1HjQ76Ssnoqof8Bb2Fifi28M1VJWV5maGF

09-12-2013, 14:50:35
I received a PM from Doron404 asking what happened to the BTC which he just sent to xxx since the MSC has not been delivered.

09-12-2013, 14:55:57
I received a PM from Doron404 asking if escrow address was xxx, suspecting that Peezr had swapped the escrow address with the BTC receiving address when replying with a quote.

09-12-2013, 15:27:42
I sent PM to Doron404 confirming that the escrow address was 1HjQ76Ssnoqof8Bb2Fifi28M1VJWV5maGF as per my original PM, but has been swapped by the seller. This was said based on the quote from Peezr embedded in Doron404's PM to me.

Who is liable for this loss?
In my Trade Details PM, I requested both parties to use the "Reply to All" button when communicating, so that the entire conversation regarding a particular trade can be easily tracked by all parties. I did not foresee this potential exploit, and hence did not warn users to refer to original PM when sending to escrow.

I have successfully executed 93 escrow trades totalling 682.76 BTC using this this system before this incident.
If there is consensus amongst the community that I am liable, I am prepared to compensate Doron404 for this scam.

I would also like to announce that I will be ceasing to act as an escrow agent in this thread with immediate effect.

Pouncer

Please withdraw my buy order. I have received enough sell offers for now

thnks

Firstly, I didn't change the addresses. Secondly, I just responded. But when i clicked it i saw coins, but not in my wallet nor escrow's wallet. I changed my password because i believe I've been hacked, but i'm pretty sure nobody would believe it anyways. I also notified admin about it. This forum gets hacked way too much.

Please add a sell order for 38 MSC at  0.132 each asap. Also pm me if you want to do this deal..We are definitely using escrow. Thank you.

How do I go about moving mastercoins if I sell to someone?

Also please post 300 mastercoins for sale at 0.131

Thanks

We have a first prefunded sell order (DGulari, 200 @ 0.1999) in the order book.
DGulari already sent 200 MSC to an escrow address of mine so buyers can purchase these Mastercoins directly from me – no need to contact the seller first.
Anyone interested in this order, send me a PM and I'll let you know a payment address.

I believe this is now resolved. None of the transactions from yesterday afternoon were showing up in mastercoin-explorer, but they are now. Tachikoma looked into it.

Anyone knows the reason why two transactions are shown in mymastercoin.com but not in mastercoin-explorer and masterchest?

Thanks a lot.

Really sorry that this happened to Doron404
I removed Peezr from the order book. Peezr, if you think you're wrongly accused, feel free to make a statement here and clarify things.

Lesson to learn: When using escrow, always check the original PM (coming from the escrow agent) and don't trust quotes.
As an additional security measure, I will from now on sign escrow details with the GPG key in my signature.

Now you tell me ...

Problem is, Even using Escrew didn't help!
