I can sell you 2 btc, via reloadit pack. I am rated 100% on localbitcoins, and have done one trade for TAK here, and also sole some antminers with no issues.
If you are local to Missouri we could meet in person, or complete trade online.

It looks like Bryan in Chicago is going to get scammed as well.
This is the same shit he pulled with me. Included a personalized message to attempt to prove this 100% positive feedback account is his. I hope Bryan is more sober than I was.

I am a hater only for scammers.
So hate those kind of cheaters.
Oh no, poor Bryan. Hopefully he will figure it out before it's too late.

That phone number is from an online VOIP provider Bandwidth.com.
It's probably a google number
EDIT* not a goggle voice number.

I don't know if this helps, but when I was looking through my email thread with the scammer, I saw that a few of his emails were sent from his phone with the "Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE exclusively from Sprint" default signature. Does the number we have list as a sprint number? I'm not entirely sure how to check the status of something like this.
I actually talked to this guy on Sunday 2/9/12 around 6PM EST. This number did ring my phone. We talked for a few minutes, then he "lost signal." I'm not sure if he was using some sort of crappy VOIP system or what. He called back again a few minutes later and we discussed different things regarding mining, etc. He knew his stuff. It dropped a second time after 5 more minutes then I didn't talk to him again. I called back and nothing.
He apologized and emailed saying he had no signal and would call back later. He became more and more frantic when I wouldn't transfer the BTC. I was just about to not send it but he made note that he would just give the miners to the countless others waiting. He got me for ~0.9 BTC claiming that prices had gone down for BTC.
He buddied up with me to a point of trust then got me thinking, would an actual scammer call me? The answer is yes. He sounded liked a guy in his early 30's (as I am) and obviously technologically sound.
The story he gave me was that his wife was pregnant and was "going to pop." If this is the supposed real Shaun McNaphee, and info is real. I doubt any of it is, but we will soon find out after I contact the Orland Park PD.
1) He lives in a home worth nearly nothing.
2) He lives with his mom.
3) Went after people a little farther away than his area so it had to be "shipped."
The guy who he is posing as will soon know either way. It's likely he's a "rookie." He either is the guy or knows the guy.
We probably won't get our money back but he will also probably be caught. I made him a promise that I would find him and I would have help. He will probably even read this, funny enough. So, I guess just refund us and we'll just be done? Am I right?

Hey Carpe, sorry he got to you too. I think this guy had us all lulled into a false sense of security, and was really good at assuaging the fears that would crop up during the transaction. I too had a few moments where I thought, "is this a scam?" but dealing with him was pleasant and he was responsive and seemed like a genuine "nice guy". Hopefully we'll get some resolution, even if its just that he stops scamming people.

"Would an actual scammer call me"?
Unfortunately, that's a great big yes. Most of the biggest scams are done over the phone because you start to trust people more when you hear their voice. Its what all those nasty "boiler rooms" rely on.

Does anyone ever pick up when you call that number?
I've tried a couple times but always get a generic answering machine message.
Could be a phone that the scammers instruct others to never pick up, or it gets routed somewhere else

So he has promised myself and another scammed buyer a refund come Monday. I highly doubt he will deliver.
That being said, I still find it odd that the address he gave is in Kansas City, and the IP last used to login to bitcoinclassifieds.net is right outside Kansas City.
It's either a cleverly used VPN, or he does in fact live around Kansas City.

Don't follow you. Why's it odd his IP address matches his real address???
Just because his IP address is Kansas doesn't indicate he's used his actual real address. Probably just a random address in the city ..... or maybe he really is dumb and has used his real address ;-/
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for dumb.
