PONIZ is a cunt scammed me 30$ yesterday for buying sams club
Hello. I was scammed by richG and on the next day this account showed up and offer me a deal with him. I believe that they are all a same person. Those accounts were created in 2014 and have a big gaps in history posts

Thanks for stopping him scamming other people.

@nachius should post proofs of transactions, if he has nothing to do with the scammers account

I'll agree with that. Or this is looking like a case of farming trust between your own accounts to give the appearance of being legit. I'll shoot him a PM and ask him to come provide some proof of the trade/s. Because if the account belongs to RichG, someone else is going to end up hurt.
Edit: PM sent. If I'm wrong, I'll happily retract my post above.
Zepher, thank you for looking into this. I have my reservations on any DT holder who haphazardly empowers potential scammers, while throwing out a everyone does it defense. Such power should be in their hands. Whatever conclusion you end up at after reviewing his PMs will be respected.
Not a problem. I have been in touch with nachius and he has provided proof of the trades done that I believe to be truthful. He has just been caught in the crossfire, and has nothing to do with any of this.
I've changed my rating. A PM has been sent to Zepher if you really want to get nitty-gritty about getting me involved. I do apologize for leaving a positive feedback after only one deal, however it's a habit of not only mine but many. Nothing stops a green trust member from scamming, and that goes for everybody. Unfortunately it's not the giver of the green trust's fault. RichG seemed like a legitimate seller for others up until now, not only me.
Sorry to all who got scammed, I'm surprised he chose only some of us to scam. A reminder to use escrow in all situations involving big amounts.

Have you really done the transaction ?
Do you mind posting the blockchain link and SS of your transaction PM ?
Do I mind? Yes. Private messages are private for a reason, making them public by posting here makes them public forever. I sent them to a trusted member who contacted me already (Zepher). I'm awaiting Zepher's reply on here. If you don't trust what he says, maybe you're being a little bit too nosy.
I have been provided the screenshots and transactions by private PM. nachius does not wish to have them disclosed publicly for them to be on the internet forever. I respect that. In conclusion, nachius is completely innocent and those trades are legit.

The activity of the profile nachius (https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/nachius-138601) who gave RichG recent feedback looks suspicious. There is a gap in activity from May 2017 to Dec 2014.
In addition to RichG which restarted activity second week of May, he green tagged a few other newbies that started up accounts/activities at nearly the same time. It's a deadly use of trust.

Account RichG has been tagged by 2 DT members now. This should hopefully prevent anymore scamming from that account.
edit: @vh - I'll look into those accounts above shortly.

I made a Bismuth sale to him and didn't get paid. I sent him 2500 XBM worth .35 BTC first naively relying on his trust score.
Here is the chat log with his wallet:

I've left feedback. He has another thread going as well: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/richg-fraud-and-trust-abuse-1927424
The account may have changed hands. The recent green trust is likely from gift cards purchased through fraudulent means. I'm sure he wants to sell more cards, so there is a chance you might get your money back when he has more cards to sell.

He got me for 5k Bismuth as well. I'll take the L for not using escrow. But going to leave him negative trust so no one else does business with him.
Very sorry to hear that mate. People are buying accounts with green trust for exact that reason..to scam people. Never ever trust people in this forum,always be safe...hope this won't happen to you again.

That's true but in this particular case the user got a lot of green in the last week. I think it will be fair for the community that the people who made him green to check and at least make neutral.
he already has 3 negatives including mine and he can still scam if people doesn't click on Untrusted feedback /show ratings.
A 'good' scammer has 2 or even more bought green trusted accounts to do as you said...give his main account some trust...its a shame that this is allowed in this forum.
