Topic: Problem with Legendary User b!z (Read 1714 times)

Everything good. Thanks for coming back I really appreciate it.

Deleted my negative feedback already.

Refunded https://blockchain.info/tx/bec09eac54c0bd9a68b26c4a4971bcacd382ce3dc741537bada3e366499ef696

Sorry for disappearing from you. I've been busy with IRL even though it is inexcusable to be gone like that. Hope everything is good now.

Kinda ironic that on his profile it says "Pm me for a quick reply!" now after reading this scam accusation, hehe.

Well, it is actually 0.5 btc getting scammed by him. I know him as a trustful and helpful member and don't think he will ever run away with this amount of bitcoin.
Even if he sold his legendary account, it would be worth a lot more than 0.5 btc
Anyways, good luck:)

No news from him.

Anyways I dont understand how a person with around 25btc in a wallet can become a 'scammer' for just some BTC 0.25 from me..

So stupid.

Thanks for actually doing something, GP. It'll serve as a warning if b!z has actually gone rogue to those who may have future dealings with him.

What I can't understand is why b!z has gone this way.

I left him a negative trust for the time being. Looks like he hasn't been on since mid-September (not sure if he'll ever come back online though) but if the scam accusations against him are ever sorted out I'd be willing to remove the negative trust I left.

I sent him a couple dust transactions with a public note attached. Hopefully he pops in and takes care of this or at least gives an explanation to all of you. Good luck!!!!

Just sent him some money with public messages.

Hope he gets them and acts in a good way.

Thanks

Can someone do that of the message, how can I do it from my wallet?

To let him know about this thread?

He last logged in on September 19th and si1verbox opened his thread on September 9th.

He also spent BTC on the address that was sent to him on October 6th, two days ago. 

seeing as how b1z still clearly has access to their wallet, maybe send him a few small 0.000001 transactions to the 177777iciAzEV7MQoiHgobrgm6dXgFdhMW, then put a link to this thread as a public note on bc.i? i would think that b1z would be intrigued by a few dust transactions and would check them out, and hopefully see the link. just a suggestion, its in no way guaranteed to work.

I will wait to see what happens.

I hope b!z check this thread.

What if he did this to a bunch of people? That measly .5 could be a paltry 2-3BTC. I agree though I just do not see B1z doing this on purpose. My assumption is that something is preventing him from logging in (medical / family issue).

You could kindly ask an administrator (theymos?) to look into that and maybe restore your messages, as messages never get deleted but only flagged as such.

Though I cannot say whether he'll do this. So, just a suggestion.

he hasnt been online in weeks, and i dont think he would have pulled an exit scam for a measly .5 btc considering their activity on the forum; maybe something happened that left him/her unable to access their computer for a while, just my guess. stuff happens in life you know.

This is the second thread ive seen on this guy and the same situation in both. Why would he screw his account over .5 total? He could sell a legendary acct for probably at least twice that considering his trust rating.

Sad to hear your story and hopefully that guy will return your money back, but I doubt he will do that. Just got to move on and accept your losses and give that guy some negative trust ratings which is appropriate in this case. With regards to your question about signed message, just follow these steps:

On blockchain.info wallet

Receive Money -> Addresses (active) -> Actions -> Sign message Wink

-- or --

Receive Money -> Addresses (active) -> Actions -> More Actions -> Verify message

Good luck!

To be honest I deleted my PMs some days ago so i dont have anything but I could provide a signed message on the address as a proof. How can I do that from Blockchain wallet?

Thank you.

can you provide more proof? like PM screenshot and perhaps a signed message from that address. don't think signed message are necessary but might as well do it.
I'm afraid all of that stuff on the OP are not enough to prove anything.

You are not the 1st person to have problems with b!z, around a month ago someone else claimed to have a similar issue, only that B!Z took the .25 and never delivered the script.

Hey there,

I need advice on what to do in this situation.

I am having a problem with user https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/bz-67815 who is Legendary and his name is b!z here online.

On July 31 I sent him 0.25 for the script he is selling online which is this one: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/myexchange-bitcoin-exchange-script-start-your-own-bitcoin-exchange-for-025-btc-308360

One day before sending the money to his address which is public here in the forum I messaged him saying I was going to send him the money I did on july 31th https://blockchain.info/tx/4d0f20dd70ea0c78eed28ed04c93eec3f676a487f3cb01d7dbd7f2ce50d0b6c4

As you can see he is moving money from his wallet so he is active and he is not dead or anything: https://blockchain.info/address/177777iciAzEV7MQoiHgobrgm6dXgFdhMW

Ok once I sent him the money 3-4 hs later I send him a message saying I talked to my legal assistant and he told me this is ilegal to do in my country so I decided to message him before he even sent me the script saying if he could refund me the money because I would have legal problems if putting that exchange online.

Never got a response back from him until one month later aprox he didnt even come online. After sending couple of messages he decided to reply to me saying that he would REFUND me only HALF of the money so 0.125 instead of my 0.25 I payed to him even passing that he didnt come online for one month and NEVER even tried to send me the script asap. I told him I WOULD accept 0.20 for refund even that he failed to communicate with me.

If he would sent me the script fast after I paid I wouldnt be eligible for a refund obviously but the situation is that today OCTOBER 6TH I didnt recieve a refund either the script he sells. Obviously I am only accepting refund from him and a complete one of my 0.25 BTC sent to him on JULY 31th.

Please if you know him let him know that I am waiting for a FULL REFUND of my 0.25 on my Wallet that he already has.

B!z if you are reading this lets resolve this fast since we know 0.25 is not worth an issue not for me and not for you.

My wallet is: 17Hj1B6GEoEcRyRb943WpJQJfSq4PZvqFW

I am only accepting refunds since time passed and no response.

Thank you!
