Topic: My account has been compromised! -iluvbitcoins - page 2. (Read 4466 times)

iluvbitcoins sent me a PM:


I told him/her to post on this thread.

I am sorry you got sold a hacked account
Though you probably knew it was hacked and ignored it *check below*

15+BTC in trades, 2 green trust of 5.5BTC
Legendary with 938 activity
I would certainly not give away this account for 0.09BTC
When plain legendary accounts without any trust at all go for a minimum of 0.2BTC

Also, he gave you my password
He sold the account with the password I have used before, that is the reason I did not know my account was infiltrated earlier
I only noticed after the password was changed aka. after you bought it and reseted the password

If an account is being sold without a signed messege, without a PGP key which is clearly stated in the account profile and a legendary green trust account with 10BTC in trades for only 0.09BTC that there's something suspicious about it?

Also check the OP


I see he gave you my password, also my Betcoin account with the same password was cracked but I recovered access to it
I'v found the e-mail later on
9.vel (veljača, 9th February)

Which means the hacker also had access to my e-mail since he got into the account
The e-mail unfortunately shared the password with my bitcointalk account
And now all my data associated with that e-mail is at risk
I have already changed password of everything important I could remember, money related items have already been enabled with 2FA
So I believe I'm safe there so far
The IP lookup claimed location to be Buchurest, Romania
Which I have never visited which esentially means nothing because of VPNs
Again, I'm sorry you got sold a hacked account, but I really can't understand how could you miss that the acc was hacked?

No signed messege, no PGP verification, no escrow, extremly low price, 3rd party seller

Also, my last post was on February 11th

op is liar ans scammer he claimed his account got hacked only the day i bought it however the seller already had access to the account weeks before i buy it and he confirmed he is selling his accounts a week before i buy it..see his reply date

i am sure op is the seller ..he got the money and now wants to get the account who sold it himself back
so he is just a scammer

I am really not familiar with the account market, so I have limited ability to judge the .09 verses the market rate for a legendary account, although it looks like an account with 938 activity would have a "baseline price" of about 0.18 based on archdow101's account pricer formula.

I am willing to wait a short period of time for a signed message before I pass final judgment on either Pelk or the 'new' iluvbitcoins although I would agree that an interim negative rating would be appropriate. The low price does imply complacency though.   

It's obvious iluvbitcoins didn't get any signed message. It's also obvious he knew the account was stolen because of the lack of a signed message and the very low price. Other users warned about that on the sale thread.

iluvbitcoins, you knew you were buying a stolen good. Of course you won't get a full refund. I'd recommend you to reach an agreement with OP. Until then the account will be red and therefore basically useless.

OP, can you detail exactly when you realized your account was compromised? Did you create this thread as soon as you realized it? Why didn't you notice it before?

Did you get any kind of signed message from the seller to confirm ownership of the account?

There is a GPG key that is still listed in the account's profile, so you really can't say that no key was ever posted.

i bought this account from the seller
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/selling-bitcointalk-accounts-all-shapes-and-sizes-1778083
he did not mention anything about hacking it and he told me he bought it before so i sent him 0.09 btc and he sent me acc info


this is his skype and proof it is his

the weird is the op who claims his account got hacked never complained about until i bought it recently only ( only a week after i bought it he claimed his account was hacked) however the account was with the seller for long time and he messaged me from it to confirm he owns it and it took weeks for me to negotiate about the price until i bought it and there was no changing email recently message on the account when i bought it which means the account was with the seller for long time without any complaint from op so i actually doubt if this is a method to scam users by selling account then claim it was hacked to get it back
finally..i am not going to send account info unless i receive a full refund of btc i sent to the seller first

i told everything honestly with evidences and not going to argue about it anymore..either you refund me or forget about it

Sent a PM to Cyrus 

theymos doesn't really deal with account recoveries so try cyrus.

I think I deserve at least a reason to why I'm not getting my account back?

I PMed Theymos
The recovery thread states I should PM only one 

Did you pm Cyrus? He is quite busy and it'll take him awhile to reply and recover your account but he will do it. Just pm him a signed message and other necessary info

Can anyone explain me what's going on and why I'm not getting any replies from anyone?

Why am i not getting any replies   

Yeah, I know that now 

You need to include an email address for your password to get reset to.

I made I mistake on the day I noticed my account got hacked, so I just contacted theymos without reading through the Meta to find the sticky about hacked accounts

I was in a bit of a panic haha

This was the PM


I know theymos has a lot of work to do but I didn't think it through, I just reacted

Is there a possibility theymos skipped through the PM because it wasn't in the correct template?

Should I resend a PM accordingly to the sticky or should I wait?

The phishers must be becoming even more sophisticated then. Looks like we really just have to be vigilant. Good luck on getting the account back and hopefully this won't happen again to you.

Not on the forum, it's my own fault.
Just dunno how
I noticed only the accounts with the one password were broken into, others were intact
I use 2FA on websites I have funds in and not that password, so I got away fine
It's just that someone could suffer a scam because of this

Most logical solution would be I logged on a phishing site, since it's only 1 password theft
However, I have no idea where I could have gotten phished

Anyways, learn from my mistakes
Improve your security!

You meant he exploited something here in the forum or somewhere else? Gee, that made me uneasy right now. I probably can't help with your account since I'm not a very technical person but I hope you get it back. Any thing I can do to help? I'm not sure if a lot of people are reading this thread. They need to be warned.
