Hello, I have a big problem, I need to buy bus tickets to the airport which is 700km from this place, in already 3 days!
I had money on Paypal, which I couldn't withdraw because I don't my bank card with me, so I started this thread
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16834218 to exchange 75$
but i got scammedand now I am utterly screwed! I have nothing, if I can't make it to the airport then my tickets will go to waste and I will be stuck in a foreign country with no visa and might be sent to jail
so how do you know I wouldn't scam you?
I can verify my identity, show my paypal, selfie, national ID etc. My account here is 6 months old, but not active poster. willing to sign a legal contract
I could pay back in 10 days
damn i'm so screwed
One thing I noticed is that you didnt post who this user is in the other thread (had to dig around and saw the post you made about the user who did), so how do we know if this is a true story that you got scammed? However, you have no real collateral to cover the loan. Accounts can be created under anyone elses names and even verified using information that can be stolen from other (eg ID Theft). Same goes with IDs. If there is any truth in your story then im sorry but you are probably better off asking a friend or family member for the money. I also never heard of a bus company accepting bitcoins (though it is possible). Signing a contract doesnt even help anyone either because it would cost more to recover the default, and probably would be impossible since many courts would probably throw the case out - which would be a waste of time and money. If you sent money on paypal and someone ran off with your money open a resolution claim, but cannot promise any luck with that. You probably wouldve been better off trying to do an exchange using localbitcoin or an exchange that accepts paypal.
Word of advice: If youre doing a trade/exchange, use an trusted escrow. Probably using a multisig wallet.
