Hi everyone,
I'm glad to be now part of this great community and start my adventure in the charming e-currency scene, whose first day for me wasn't unfortunately as I hoped. Yesterday I bought $150 worth of BTC via Paypal from the user Ludacrisx after seeing his thread here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wts-049-btc-paypal-406805 but he didn't send me anything. The scammer wanted to "sell" $600 worth of BTC but luckily I decided to try him with a quarter of the full transaction.
Since new members can't post, send pms, etc, but I still wanted to buy some BTC, I contacted that guy because he published his Skype (of course none of the posts about his negative reputation you can read now in that thread were present). In fact, I had previously contacted an established member who had their email in their profile, but as I expected, they didn't reply since I'm a forum newbie.
His details:
Name: Alvaro Barboza
Country: Costa Rica
Skype: mircx777
Paypal email: [email protected]
Please post a link to this thread in the scammer's thread above.

That guy contacted me last night I got on skype some member warned me first (thanks for that PM) I said I need escrow and the guy hung up! But he was Alvaro Barbarosa said he had some account i need to first send money and he is honest and once it clears he will send bitcions I said escrow he just left. That was that!
I did get my first transaction done this morning with try second later tonight so I'm excited to get this going. It's sad people are praying on members here it's a bad thing for Bitcion that this is going on I wish everyone was honest but I guess that is not the world we live in.
Sorry you had this bad experience I hope your next one is better. Good luck.
