Topic: My personal list of scammers (Read 3281 times)

Get out of this thread, little kiddo, you are not welcome here.

Yeah, in any way breaks the forum Rules??

You got it backward. According to the AWS Promotional Credit Terms & Conditions the codes are given to the end users only by Amazon. You can not receive a code from a third person and you can not give or sell a code to a third person. If you violate these Terms & Conditions the codes are void and Amazon can remove them anytime.

If you still don't get it, let me reiterate: each and every code that you obtained in any way from anyone other than Amazon is from unknown and illegitimate source and may be canceled.


P.S.: please do not publish private messages without the consent and permission of the senders.

!!! WARNING !!! Keep in mind the codes are from UNKNOWN possible not quite legitimate sources and may be canceled.


Bullshit and lies.

This is a good list.. should be avoided like bitcoin users like us. There are lots of sites and people who are doing scams especially nowadays because they know what's the true value of btc.. so be very careful with your btc.

Here are some more scammers:

1. NvidiaFan  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--1665256


and these are fake accounts confirming purchases from NvidiaFan

- mircoCHIP
- BTCnexux
- TranceLover


Haha stupid moron even locked his thread after I busted him.

There are people on here with glowing feedback and Hero status that are prolific scammers.

Google the name.

use keywords:  Name * scam, bitcointalk userame for sale, look at the company they keep, remember that they aid and abet one another, so have lots of shill scam buddies with bought names shilling their posts. look at people constantly offering altcoin service at the cheap end. Google that service with the username and bitcointalk. Try it with scam and disappeared, etc.

The altcoin section is the worst.

It will be nice to see some exchanges added as well. Some play dangerous, and do not not have the protection of the Russian border.

OP updated.

Some active Scammers: [UPDATED 23 Oct 2016]

   1. seller.aws.ec2
   2. LocalBitcoinsScript
   3. AmazonGCKing
   4. MaxDeliver
   5. lind82
   6. makaveli82

Two active scammers: iPhone9 and LBCAIO to that list as well.

Also, asked to use an escrow with Nvidiafan or get him to go first and wouldn't do either. Bit concerning.

Keep this thread stricky!!! Everybody need watch this.
Thanks!!

Thanks for the list.
It's always good to see scammers being exposed, so forum administrators can take the reasonable steps to neutralize their accounts.
Meanwhile, we can secure our transactions using escrows or only trading with trusted forum members. The scammers are everywhere and if we don't take care, we can have a big headache later...

Who knows... But if it is... so what? We all wear multiple hats.  At least the adults do.


Exposing scammers is unfair
Maybe the scammers feel it is unfair.  Personally I'm grateful for the info provided & think what the scammers is doing is unfair.

You should be more careful while trading with a newbie of course, but you can get scammed even by a legendary member if you are not careful. There are scammers with green trust too. As long as people trade their accounts for btc, we will never be safe.

I think one of the best sign for scammers if they are not giving vouch and no feed backs about the vouch given from op its more chance that the seller is scammers.. if you to dont scam always go to high reputative members here and high rank accounts without negative trust.

This guy is an alt of PokemonGoArea who is selling amazon aws. This very unfair practices your are doing.

Great thread. Wish I had found it earlier.

Got scammed by MaxDeliver, not lots, just enough to teach me a cheap lesson.

Thanks to PokemonGoArena for providing good codes & great service.

To identify a Scammer:

   1. Make sure you enabled "Show untrusted feedback by default" in "Profile / Forum Profile Information
   2. Check the thread if it is locked or not. If it is recently posted locked thread from a newbie then it is definitely from a scammer.
   3. Check seller's trust status see the feedbacks
   4. Never send payment first if the seller is newbie before checking his trust status
   5. If you still got scammed put the -ve feedback on thier trust section and also let us know so other users can't get scammed

Sorry to hear that but what did you expect from a newbie selling from a locked thread so that nobody can comment there? A locked or self-moderated thread and a newbie seller are the most obvious red flags. On top of that why didn't you check his trust feedback? He started having negative feedback since 4 days old.

Make sure you enabled "Show untrusted feedback by default" in "Profile / Forum Profile Information".

Same here already got scammed . unlucky reading the thread after    user who scammed me AmazonGCKing , Beware don't send him any btc.

Thanks for this buddy.
I've been getting scammed 2 times already

great work johnsmithx thank's for that
AWS still one of the best cloud solution 

thanks, you helped me dodge a bullet

there are such services. PM if you need to know more.



good tip, thanks

I added a paragraph into the OP regarding opening multiple AWS accounts. I think maybe some people want to buy AWS accounts only because they think there is a rule 1 account per 1 person, but in fact no such rule exists and it's perfectly alright to have multiple AWS accounts in your name and address and even with the same phone and card number, only the e-mail needs to be different because it serves as a login.



That's a great point and this can actually be helped using roles. I added into the OP a mini tutorial how to access multiple AWS accounts from one single AWS account without logging into each separately.



Yes, of course, but the problem with this is that you can't really check this. I don't know of any world-wide service where you can enter a card number and it would tell you whether the card is blocked or was reported stolen, but even if there was such a service you can't really use it because you can't see the card number in the AWS account settings. It shows only the last 4 digits. But if you buy an AWS account it's logical that you will change the card information so that you can actually make the payments (if that's what you are planning on, anyway).


You may be able to estimate the age of an account from looking at the Bills section. There you should see the list of months since the account was created, even if the actual bill for given month was $0.

biggest giveaway in this thread (and biggest mistake rookie buyers make) is email account handling; that plus recovery can make the same account, even if legit, 'sell' over and over again to people who don't understand how AWS-client relationship works.

I think you are right to some extent but you can still depend any thing that could make your account secure from the op and he would try to provide it if actually is a legit seller.

No but it's good practice to follow when you buy one. You cannot force the seller to prove safety/provenience of the CC attached to account nor can you find out the time & place when the account on sale was created, but you can ask these questions and measure the answers along with all the other elements that the OP initially stated.

This your information is very helpful and well detailed, thank you
It is also possible to avoid buying a stolen/hacked AWS accounts following this your tips?

To add, don't the AWS accounts also have to add a credit card to their account , which can lead them to get into trouble if the cards are obtained fradulently.

Good and nice advice for those who do not know about what is difference between EC2 limit and non-EC2 limit and My best advice for those who wants to buy EC2 limit is to TV the computer of the seller if the account is truly EC2 limit.

As someone who mass produced AWS accounts for personal and professional needs I concur to all the above.

Also make sure that you keep consistent with access IP if you use the console, clean and fresh contact data (most important of course payment method).

Too many people around here offer 'tainted' AWS accounts - that is, when they offer it 

If anyone is selling Accounts with Raised Limits (like on the last Pictures) Feel free to contact me, i want to buy some accs.

Good advice here, hopefully this helps people from being scammed.

My personal list of scammers I encountered on bitcointalk.org

Avoid these little lowlife fraudulent kids at all costs:

• seller.aws.ec2 (reference here)
• awsses (reference here) <-- this scammer first sold me a few working AWS codes expecting my positive feedback in an attempt to establish some kind of an apparent legitimacy and then went on and scammed everybody else ever since, therefore I eventually decided to remove my positive feedback
• nanohits (reference here)
• edulord (reference here)
• DannyHamilton <-- gives fake negative feedbacks
• mocacinno (reference here) <-- extremely dangerous, tries to make people publicly reveal their btc addresses, ownership, wallet software and other details; also gives fake neutral/negative feedbacks
• iCEBREAKER <-- gives fake negative feedbacks
• R00TC0IN (reference here) <-- lies, scams and tries to sell old and broken version of a free open-source software that he stole from github, hilariously retarded little scammer
• topherhf (reference here and here)
• pipobuccshop (reference here and here)
• XXXXXXXXXXXXX <-- hilariously funny little scamming kid
• iCEBREAKER (reference here and here) <-- besides scamming he gives fraudulent negative feedbacks as an extremely silly and futile revenge attempt for being exposed, I encourage everyone to give him a negative feedback
• AmazonSESAws (reference here and here)
• NvidiaFan (reference here and here)
• iPhone9 (reference here and here)
• LocalBitcoinsScript (reference here and here)
• stableversion (reference here) <-- another account of MaxDeliver
• MaxDeliver (reference here and here) <-- another account of stableversion
• AmazonGCKing (reference here and here) <-- besides scamming he gives fraudulent negative feedbacks as an extremely silly and futile revenge attempt for being exposed, I encourage everyone to give him a negative feedback
• Dadan (reference here)
• makaveli82 (reference here)
• white.walker (reference here and here)
• Symeave (reference here and here)  <-- very dangerous, can steal your money repeatedly in the future!

The general rule is: if the seller is a newbie, with no reputation, with no topic nor trust feedback, offering no vouches and/or selling from a locked or self-moderated topic and unwilling to go first or use escrow => AVOID.

Also avoid anyone calling himself "we", it's just an early teenager desperately trying to pretend he - a little boy - is some kind of a legitimate business entity, truly laughable.

Always check the trust feedback first and make sure that you have enabled "Show untrusted feedback by default" in "Profile / Forum Profile Information".
