I believe you tracked him down to a college student in texas ? How is that going.

I am pretty sure he has bought a hacked account from an actual member that used to own that account. There are many selling these accounts now and we need to be more careful then ever. It is sad that we have to now forget what a members trust ratings are and how long theyve been here. Lessons learned.

jefe541 is a scumbag scammer and he is not going to get anyone else because I will keep putting his bad name out there until everytime he logs in he thinks of killing himself because he has done such wrong.

Happy I veered away from this one....
Good dox with the info that he provided, but my gut is telling me it's not legitimate. The university link... that guy just doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who would waste 5 years of expensive schooling for 7-9 bitcoins.
Does not make sense, does it?

yeah true, looking back i was just watching this thread with curiosity but glad I stayed on the sidelines

That'll keep happening until victims start giving the proper trust feedback to at least prevent the usage of his account.

About escrow i can't use cause i need to collect money and pay gridseed.

Hmmmm.... Roll Eyes

Hmmm? How could i use escrow if i have to send the wire transfer to gridseed before miners receivement?

Okay, did I miss some other feedback from others that could vouch for any prior deals with you?

Just looking for some positive reputation sources (eBay, etc) we can go on....thanks!

He never replied, and this was a huge red flag!
I'm sorry for those that did the deal, but we have all learned a lesson.

Stay safe, everyone!

OK, Ill share some info as well.
I asked for 50 miners and i got price for 4800€.
He asked me to send money to private account, after which i declined hes offer. Theres no way that i would send money to unkown third person without any info about the seller. I asked for hes personal details and proof of identity, but he did not give me any.
SEPA payment account which i was supposed to pay belonged to name: Maurizio Fabbri and bank is in Rome: http://www.swift-code.com/italy/swift-code-cimtitr1.html
Unfortunately i have nothing else on him.

I am no sock puppet. I did meet up with that person claim to be jefe541's brother. Like you guys, i am also eagerly participating in this GB as the price is too good to be true but i sat this one out at the very last minute. Hopefully you guys are able to claim back the btc you have paid to him.

Sorry to all those who lost on this - I actually spoke with the guy about a 100pcs order and was offered a great price a couple days ago.

Did some research (his post history from before a few weeks ago is all junk) and spoke to a contact about the wholesale price Gridseed were providing and this guy was $40 per unit under wholesale. Dodgy as.

Really hope you guys get your money back or your miners.

I am not sure you guys are on the right trail..check on the guys that said they met with jefe541...Zach_BTC and mingophoria says he met with jefe541's brother..I am not sure where this info is coming from that you have but you should look in the USA as that is closer to where I think he truly is. I am following up on some stuff and I have a friend high up in a government agency checking out IP info from the past for me now. Look deeper than what he told you. It was to throw us off.

He PM'd me that info. I know that it's probably fake, but it's worth following up every lead we have. People do get sloppy. That phone number for example - at the point he gave it to me he was very likely expecting me to call and confirm, so it may be a number he or an associate of his had control of so he could allay my fears. Burner phone? Most likely. But someone answered it just an hour or so ago. Your high up government buddy would very likely have more success than me in pulling info on the number though Tongue

Edit: He's also got a pretty extensive post history, it'd be worth seeing if he posts from a limited number of IPs and follow those up too.
