Worldwide BTC got mad because I would not rush into selling him the coins.
He only will pay western union,and freaked out when I recommended escrow on localbitcoins.
a lot of users here recommend LB ?
some other user tomatoecage has left me negative feedback for no reason at all.
I now think this is WWBTC playing games this child has a lot of free time on his hands.
Anyway to all the genuine people who still would like bitcoin find me on
Local bitcoin a for escrow.
I am trying to get the negative removed.
As you can see by the chat above I have not stepped out of line once.
Happy new year

My Trust is flawless. If you're serious about selling your coins, send the 1.25 BTC to: 1DVNbLRM8q65D7moYJWcNTLHpPLmVUGsR7
Escrow is a must here to protect both of you.
I must be missing something because you yourself have very little trust on this forum. All your positive feedback was from early last year and for small amounts, you sent first or used escrow?
Some people do not feel comfortable using a person as escrow (I don't have any examples but some escrows have scammed in the past and it is always possible their computer is hacked, PGP key and everything - although the chances are overall low).
As a result they would rather use Local Bitcoins as escrow. I personally think it would be easier to scam via LBC but others do not feel that way

WorldWideBTC, you should've suggested using a trusted forum escrow. If he refused it then you'd know he likely had scamming on his mind.
From the dialogue posted, he told you to send first. You responded by telling him to send first. He responded by suggesting a localbitcoins account which hasn't even had any confirmed trades. That's when you should've pulled out Danny Hamilton's name or someone similar.

That's exactly how I conduct business - I believe that a newbie with no Trust is a scammer if he wants me to send a WU payment to a third world country. Yep. That's how I do business.
Now if you would have said "Hey. I don't trust you, so why don't we use TomatoCage or SaltySpitoon as an escrow?", I would have said "Okay, great!" Instead, you took a shot at getting a WU payment up front, and you avoided using a trusted forum escrow. Your localbitcoin account doesn't mean shit to me, or anyone else.
Try to get any other reputable buyer/seller on here to send you WU first and watch them laugh at you. You scammers need to try a little harder, or just go away. It's not funny any more. I've had to sift through at least 4 of you people in the past 12 hours. I'm tired of it.
I'm going back to my old ways and making scam accusations against anyone whom I suspect of scammy behavior. If others want to listen to me, fine. If they don't, then the best of luck in their future trades with those people.

What happened:: User (JonnyQuid) wanted to receive a $400 USD WU payment in exchange for bitcoins. User (A newbie) was not willing to go first, and insisted I go first. Insisted on using a third party escrow out of the forums (Gave me some random link to LocalBitcoins) when I refused to send first. In my personal opinion, I do not trust this user. His "name" (John) that he signs his PMs with does not match his WU information (Sheikh Naveed Ali).

Reference Link: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10108554
Amount Scammed: 0.00 BTC (Refused to deal with him)
Payment Method: Western Union
Proof of Payment: None (Refused to deal with him)
PM/Chat Logs: Just ask me for them - I don't feel like taking 4 screen shots and putting them on imgur unless I have to.
Additional Notes: This user did not scam any coins or currency out of me. I am posting this here as a warning to other users as to his suspicious behavior. I'm afraid I haven't had many positive transactions with users from Dubai who assume false identities and demand to have Western Union sent to them ahead of time.
