Topic: Scammed for 0.6 BTC by ChrisLandin (Read 1022 times)

A very sad situation, I recommend you to use escrow, usually safe escrows will charge you. Pay attention to this point.

It is true what Lauda says, if they block his account he will simply create a new one and repeat the scamming process again. Giving a trust rating will warn people not to trade with him or do it at their own risk

I have been scammed by Chris Landin too.
He is now using Bitrated.com platform his profile is "Moniker" as escrow agent. Url: https://www.bitrated.com/Moniker.
He did scam with his friend user "does" Url: https://www.bitrated.com/does.

I am sure that this is his twitter: https://twitter.com/PorchiusMonkius. Since he joined Bitcointal July 17, 2011, 10:09:14 AM and after searching probably joined Twitter Joined November 2011. Talking about bitcoin so it is him for sure. He is not ready for what is coming. Good luck dude from England you will need it. 

but are you serious? its almost clear this account is not his account look at this detail..he was absent from december 2016 to may 2017..you just make this poor guy become rich now may be 1500$ its almost 100.000$ in his country

Absolute bullshit. Dealing 0.6 BTC which is over $1500 with a member that has zero verifiable trading history is not "easier to blame in hindsight". This was clear as day. The account used for scamming is probably worth less than 0.1 BTC. The scammer(s) will just buy a new account, rinse and repeat.

This is really sad...And now, it's easier to blame OP on the hindsight. Sometimes, these things happen. We can't really know every time if something will truly turn out a scam or not. Though it's necessary to take precautions at all time.

However, 0.6btc is a lot of money in today's value not to use an escrow. It's almost $1,800 in value!

Chevad, thanks for trying to help OP out here but unfortunately doxs do not belong here. Please repost this information in the investigations board under reputation and delete this post because I'm pretty sure that it's not allowed by the forum.

Can anyone confirm that this is the real Chrislandin? Because it might be a hacked account OP was dealing with due to the fact that the user ID is so low. I have no proof to back this up though.

Anyways, OP hope you have learned a lesson. If you don't use escrow here you are literally begging to be scammed.

Make this occurrence as a lesson, don't give your trust any person directly in this community usually when money matters, 0.6 BTC is not just a $ that you can send to anyone without using escrow. Just be careful next time when you trade someone, always use a trusted escrow.

Do not use ''me being new here'' as an excuse,

you could have at least read this in the board dedicated for new members.

You were careless.

Yes if members do their share in reading topics like the one I posted above.
When in doubt, ask the community.

BTW welcome to bitcointalk.

Hero member means jack shit on this forum and neither does Legendary.

Scams are not moderated. Therefore, you will not get banned for scamming someone.

I didn't do that to save fees. We were negotiating for like 2 days and + hero member + me being new here I thought he is legit.

I am an idiot. But the mods here need to do FAR better job. Even now he is not banned.

Few days ago someone created a user similar to Yassin (#from ydx) and sent me messages. I notified the mods, but nothing was done. A day later he scammed someone for 5 BTC.

That could be easily prevented.

I don't really get it. I mean, I understand when people don't want to deal with escrows for smaller amount. However, we are talking about $1.6k here. Did they want to save 1-2% in fees? There are plenty of escrows nowadays, from various time zones.

I concur.

There is no better word to define your over-confidence.Stop posting bullshit if you don't know what's what,idiot.

OP,No escrow.No trusted account.You literally were asking for it.There you go,be careful next time.Only through the hard times you learn

You are an idiot.
You could have said this without using the idiot word also.
What now I say MF.

You're an idiot.   He has one negative,  and it doesn't even have a reference link.  You just quoted OP's sent feedback.

You should had read is trust feedback before sending him some cash..

I saw you are interested in buying and selling bitcoins. Maybe you would like to learn how to withdraw money from PayPal account directly to your bitcoin wallet and buy bitcoins at low price. Take a look: https://selly.gg/p/22bbfc8c

Don't spam people.
