If his account was hacked why didn't he alert anyone?

Please read the topic before commenting. His account was NOT hacked. Impossible.

That's exactly why I said it. It was a rhetorical question. I've read every post.

Then you know I already clearly stated the opposite. So either call me a liar, or stop derailing this thread. This thread keeps being derailed by people talking about projects being hacked. He's NOT

Either he's hit by a bus or something OR he's a scamming us. The second is far more likely (especially considering the fact he timed to have many loans outstanding around the current date).

BTW: The bank account he paid me from once is British (I saw someone claim he was from Florida).

What happened:
That was a month ago from now. On December 02th I sent user projects 12 btc for 3 knc upgrade modules.
I did not use escrow as he was hero member with high trust level. (never will do so)
In few days he gave me tracking code.
But seems that he cancelled parcel as tracking is not updating for a month.
I have never received any upgrade modules that I paid for. I feel I have given him a fair amount of time.
tracking number is stored in my messages from him so any moderator can check it.

I have traded successfully with Projects on a number of occasions. Two scenarios.

He's been hacked or
he's gone rogue.

Unfortunately it happens all the time.

I'll contact him directly.

I fucking HATE scammers.

Much appreciated BCB - I suspect his account was hacked.

The confusing thing it - I got a tracking number and it was from the UK where he is based and he continued to communicate in a professional manner once I sent the funds to him. Clearly not in the ilk of the poor english, grab and run type scammer you never hear from again. He hasn't replied in two weeks though, and my package is now being returned to him due to the address being wrong. Unlikely to be coincidence, but it shut me up long enough waiting for the shipment - three weeks I have been tracking on usps.

23BTC is enough for me to hire a PI and get the local police involved however.

Oh shit, his PMs indicated he was from Florida (USA)

I will consider my 6 BTC gone

I guess the lesson is use escrow even with a forum member with 1000 posts and 12 trust.

Projects tried to initiate a sale with me on Dec. 27th. We had details worked out, but I didn't feel completely comfortable about it and asked him to post a public sale thread with the terms of the sale and pictures of the hardware. He refused so I did not proceed with the transaction.

I'd be happy to provide any information as well as the PM's if it will help. I'm not sure what the etiquette is for this, but his messages just reeked of scam and I would like to try and confirm this.

Hacked story will be complete and total bullshit

Quote from: wachtwoord on January 01, 2014, 12:45:00 PM

Impossible,he made a periodic payment to me on Sun Dec 22nd and asked for a loan extension the day after. Both using the same email address.

I still hope this is all a misunderstanding and he's just AWOL for new years, but I'm beginning to feel increasingly naive about that though.

I will give this a little more time (but not much). I have his full name and bank account number (he did a SEPA wire to me once). His name is quite common though in the UK. A helpful forum member also send me his cell phone number and I tried texting.

I will have to add to this:

http://blockchain.info/address/1CdESARQzo3q5s22f6icA8E6fZysEcEgX6

Sent him 6.1 BTC on 12/30 for 2 antminers. No escrow done seeing as he had trust and feedback with the community.

His response on December 30, 2013, 08:52:05 PM (after payment):

Quote

Ok will have the tracking for you in a few hours

Money looks to have been moved out of that wallet about an hour afterwards.

No tracking info given, no package received, will give him the benefit of the doubt for a few more days seeing as his last online time was right around when that message was sent. (Plus it's the holidays.)

Not posting negative trust on his profile just yet, he may must be busy.

He has done money gram trades and I would assume he has to give name and details for that. I'm sure someone who has traded with him has his personal contact info.

I don't know what the full situation is, but I had a good experience buying 40 coins off ubettercall and sincerely hope you get your coins back. I will be leaving projects negative trust until this is resolved.
