Zepher and I have sorted out this entire debacle.

If you have left me negative trust please be so kind as to remove it.

Thanks and sorry for wasting everyone's time.

I've learned an expensive lesson in password security.

Here's the transaction of 0.86 to Zepher's address for all to see:

Good job mate, and sorry for the loss, but you are now a real stand up guy IMO

Cheers, neg removed. Wink

Should be home from work within an hour and I'll check if I have that privkey.

Okay, no problem. If you can repay the amount I was scammed, and also sign a message (I will look for some more addresses in the meantime, so you can sign any one of them), then I will remove the neg rating and ask other DT users to do the same.

Thanks

Hey..

This is the real str4wm4n.

I have not logged in for a while and see my account was hacked and used to scam Zepher.

I have changed my password ( It was my fault for originally using a weak password.)

I am willing to payback the 0.86 in order to restore my account trust...

Hi str4wm4n,

Okay, thanks for the PM and posting in the thread here. I need to do something, but will edit this post shortly.

Thanks

Edit: Okay, paying me back the 0.86 BTC would be appreciated, thank you.

I would like it sent to my forum profile address, which is the same address I used to pay the hacker of your account.

This address is: 1VAULTPU7XXsB5h6pb6VdZE7ZxKHCxmVb

If you can repay the 0.86 BTC to that address, and post the tx here for everyone to see, that would be great.

Secondly, to verify you are the original account holder, I would like you to sign a message from an old address.

In this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14022858 - you have an address that has been quoted. The address is: 1K6VqufBesJPvdHXuZD2tyWqJrJXxyYqTt. Do you still have access to this address so you can sign a message from it?

Thanks.

Should be home from work within an hour and I'll check if I have that privkey.

Appreciate the help, Avirunes, really

I know exactly who the original account holder is, down to the name and DOB. I am not doxing anyone though.
This account was sold/hacked, and managed carefully for the exit scam as Lutpin has pointed out.

Appreciate everything guys. Consider this "resolved", as I ain't going to see a Satoshi from str4wm4n.

~snip research~

Thanks for looking into it. A few points:
- I've contacted Anduck immediately after zepher posted this thread, they are pretty sure the account changed hands based on recent posts/language.
- The original owner isn't hard to locate (we got a good idea where he is) and str4wm4n isn't the most generic nick either, especially when used several times on different sites/boards.
- If this account was indeed either hacked or bought, it was probably for a long time now and the user waited an unusual time for their "exit scam".

Going to post where he posted 12HooZ9bhW5TxH4y1RCnGKT63cy1Xs8oWA . He edits half-an-hour before dealing with Zepher.

Edit Time: December 04, 2016, 01:30:26 AM (archive: http://archive.is/tbi6f#selection-7139.15-7139.49)

He quotes the same post in same thread later

Edit Time: December 04, 2016, 01:32:28 AM (archive: http://archive.is/BDxqU#selection-2743.16-2743.50)

Question is how I am sure that he edited the address only and not the content? Then check this :

Someone quoted his post just below with original address: 1K6VqufBesJPvdHXuZD2tyWqJrJXxyYqTt that he posted: http://archive.is/RhsBj#selection-2983.6-2983.40

I think this is a bought account, but it was done probably months ago (if not more). And the reason for the purchase was one and only: scam. I'm not sure if a research on that would help and that is why I haven't bothered myself.

No it was not IMO. I think its the same str4wm4n.

Proof: I went on checking every post and every transaction he made but none of them lead to anything. Most of altcoin/bitcoin address were either used as tipping/donation address.

Anyway searching for str4wm4n in all the saved pages of seclog.php on archive.is leads nothing. That means he didn't changed any passes if we check.

Reference(archive of seclog.php): http://archive.is/http://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php (thanks to one who maintains archiving seclog)

That means he didn't changed pass between 7 JUN 2015 - 4 DEC 2016 . (There are some gaps so there might still some chances. But if you ask me,then I think it was still on the possession of the same holder judging on the posting history)

OK so the main part comes

If the account hasn't changed its owner this year then following users might be able to give some more info:

Anduck
MnemonicInsomnia

Hope it provided some help

He contacted me for 90eth@market price, I had an issue and couldn't follow through, but we agreed on using SebastianJu's escrow service.

Keeping an eye on this, couldn't he have been hacked ?

Zeph this sucks sorry to see this happen. One thing i dont discount though is the original owner of the account (if it was sold) is an ass. He/she allowed for this to happen. I wish like hell account sales could be banned here....would clean this rot right up. Hope this shows other hero/leg members dont be offened if you get asked to use escrow, just accept the fact thats the sad reality we live in on the forum....this place needs to get cleaned up or it will soon disappear.

You got that right, my man.

And I got hosed for 0.3btc earlier this year by a light green-trusted member. I lent without collateral and learned my lesson good. Fuck account sales.

He was also trying to scam me a several hours ago.
He wanted to sell me few gold bars for around spot price.

Right after we agreed about the deal he asked me to send him the funds, when I asked about using an escrow(fees on me) he refused.

After refusing he offered me a pretty weird offer, that I will send him 25% of the payment and then he will deliver the package, and after getting it I will pay him the rest, which made it pretty obvious that he is scamming, why should he agree to trust me on a 1100USD, but not agree to use an escrow.

He was trying to scam me for about 1500$.

Sorry about your lose, you should always use escrow for large amounts.

As above, glad you didn't get stung either. I left him a neg and then noticed you did the same shortly after. If my neg helped you to NOT get scammed in any way, then that's something at least.

He won't be doing this again. That account is ruined. FU str4wm4n. Dicks like you should rot in hell.
I don't believe this is the original account owner, as the original owner back in 2013 was giving out 1 BTC bounties for doing (relatively) simple math problems. This account was sold (or hacked and managed carefully for an exit scam). You chose the wrong target buddy. Account seems to now be abandoned. Good. He wont be scamming anyone else under that account, at the very least.

Last comment from me on this anyway. I did what I set out to do - destroy this scammer and the account. Its done.

Thanks for the help everyone.
