I have learned my lesson and should have known better. Someone said to be responsible and report this. I'll take a look for the thread over in altcoins mentioned here and will put this there if that is the correct place

Fake seller is utanapisztim.

This was my bad for doing a trade like this on a trust basis. I wanted to buy several Hirocoins and the buyer would not send first and neither would I so he said split the amount in half. I sent 1/5 of the total amount which was 0.3BTC 24 hours ago and have not got anything in return. They said they had a lot of Hirocoin to sell.

They are in this forum trying to sell coins to people. I assume that they have no coins and intend to rip more people off.

Since this incident I have had two other people approach me to sell me coins, I have told both of them to sell to me through an exchange that supports Hirocoin and I never hear back from them.


Use escrow, do not send first, even if you split the amount !!!!

Gonna take a wild guess that utanapisztim is a new user. If that's the case, please see this thread that's stickied in multiple places, including the alt coin section: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/edu-how-to-spot-a-scammer-read-this-before-doing-any-transactions-137288
