Thought the security log indicates that the password was reset, i feel that the account was not hacked or stolen, it was the scammer himself who changed the account details to create confusions.

EW sorry for your loss man . But on other hand did you really think 1 trust is enough to send someone 3 BTC first !!!!! you had a lot of trusted members with big thread  and all of it  positive  on exchange area ! What forced you to send first to someone with 1 trust score . in his quoted message he saying $3500 for 3 BTC while you are reporting him only for $3000 which of them is the real number ? .

I really feel sorry for you man 3 BTC is a lot  Sad

Didnt know that 1 trust is useless... i got carried away.. anyway i put $3000+ which is 3 bitcoins(thats what i sent to him)

Its the principle, I dont mind giving out free money, but scam me and i'll spend triple to make sure you suffer Smiley
If the scammed gamblers would have your mentality, Game Protect would flourish! Smiley

Unfortunately, most gambling victims are not willing to spend anything to enforce their claim.

Well i needed neteller to withdraw via atm not to gamble...

and secondly i will get the money back.. trust me..

Send a ton of Bitcoins to criminals, yes, spend some more to enforce their claim, no.

He seems like an Indian.Please message me all the details you have,email or neteller addresses/IP details.I should be able to help.With the Indian government promoting online payment systems,Cyber Laws are getting strict everyday here.
Let's do this legal ways.

Im getting a lot more info from someone who knows him.. I'll message you what i have so far..

to the scammer, i suggest you return my bitcoins here > 1EM7oFRB1nPHxUDsGXoayXezvPk42oY7LJ

Otherwise this will be the most stressful $3000 you have ever stolen in your life..

If the OP is not an Indian, how can he file an FIR? Also, the cyber police don't help when you are dealing with bitcoins as it's not a recognized payment. They have already said that whoever deals with bitcoins is doing it at his/her risk.

@OP: I don't want you to hurt you but with bitcoins, there is nothing you could really do. If you had to send skrill/neteller, you could rather do a chargeback (because you were scammed). With irreversible payments, you should be very careful. Also, if he had to send you the payment, who knows that those funds would be genuine. I'm really sorry for your loss as I know how it feels when you get scammed. I've also been scammed earlier.

This is clear what happened here, someone farmed an account to later scam or someone sold a scammer a farmed account to later scam. So, the prev owner of the account could show up and talk, of course that won't happen.

I don't believe that he got hacked or this is a bought account as the password changed after doing the transaction according to the seclog: https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php

Code:
Today at 05:48:50 PM - sabbirshm - password changed

We can't know further details as the seclog isn't really showing anything before 14 April for some reasons but there is definitely something phishy as the guy didn't do any trade until 25 March with a trusted member. My guess is that he was trying to build trust and scam high amounts.
It's obvious that that's what he was doing.  Doing trades doesn't lose him any money, so it's very easy for him to build up trust.  It might have even been that he just bought his account and changed the password after the trade just because he bought it recently before doing the trade.

Always use escrow, don't trust anyone !
This is an oxymoron.  Escrows are people that you trust with money (when you're dealing with an untrustworthy person), so all you need to know is how to determine who to trust.

The rule of thumb is that unless you've been on the forum for a long enough time and see who others trust significantly, you shouldn't trust anyone except for people near the top of the list of Bitcointalk escrows.  Green trust doesn't necessarily prove that someone won't scam you and red trust doesn't necessarily prove that someone will scam you (although in most cases red trust will).

Also, when you're dealing with any escrow make sure you verify their address in the escrow thread if you can and verify their PGP signature if you can as well.  You need to be communicating with the escrow directly and be careful of people with very similar names to the escrows trying to pretend to be them.  Sometimes people who supposedly deal with escrow try their best to scam you and make fake messages from the escrow.
