IMO, I don't think it is fair to accuse Tomatocage of collusion. I would not believe that for a second. I think if he is guilty of anything it is making judgements a little too quickly without sufficient evidence (something easily corrected if need be). Please give him time to reply before you start throwing accusations around yourself.

You'r friend Niann scammed my friend for over 600 usd and he run away , TECSHARE , if u don't understand what happened correctly is not my problem.
Second , those scam acussation's are from the same person , who tried to scam me instead of what u said, if u don't belive me , what happen sharp if i start to create random accounts and try to scam u and then leave some neg feedback.


I'm new to the forum but not new to the kind of scams that the internet has, and ur friend TECSHARE is a silly scammer.
And you sharp u need to learn somehow catch scammers, real ones.

BTW , i can't argume very well by writing, by any one who has any debt , we can have a skype conversation , I can show you eveything u need to prob idiots wrong , ALSO to prove Niann scammed my friend out of 600$.

OK if shipitbuddy really sent 1000$ worth of BTC - show the TX id. Otherwise he is a scammer.
Interestingly Tomatocage put negative comment on PokerBTC "deals with stolen funds".
They must be friends. Many people scammed by shipitbuddy have been tagged by Tomatocage, based on nothing but bullshit of the "he said" type. I am sure now that this forum has ZERO IP traceability towards it's users. Shipit has at least 2 accounts here and is constantly scamming people.

But he does it smart - he deals in small amounts with real BTC with trusted users, and scams newbies with 1000s. And everytime - he is acquitted of all acusations. Not only - he is extremely arrogant about it and that is why mods are tolerating him.

Besmurch his Trust as you did with the users he scammed Tomatocage. Otherwise you will confirm that you're friends with the guy, or that he uses your account! 3 people that legitimately acuse him, but are newbies, are tagged as scammers by you, just because he said so. He uses multiple accounts and never stop offering his "services". Doesn't it all sound strange?

PS: Con-man is short for CONFIDENCE man. A man with no confidence cannot be a con-man. That's why he acts better than thou. Not because he's innocent.

Personally I find Tomatocage shows a bit more restraint than the other users engaging in this "scambusting" type of behavior. In general I think he calls them right, but as I said the bar of what is considered sufficient evidence has been dropped dangerously low. I have notified Tomatocage of the information I have added. I am sure he has not had time to read it yet. We will see what he has to say about it.

As a bit of a side note, I would think adopting a standard of using neutrals for tagging suspicious users unless there is actual evidence of a scam, other than just an accusation, would be beneficial to the community in general.

TECSHARE you said it brother. I completely agree with all you wrote. The mob mentality, scammers disguised as honest traders. Sick really.

BTW: Tomatocage is really protecting this guy. Putting negative ratings to anyone he scammed. Fishy.

Of course it is possible they are all the same person. Personally I try not to make assumptions I don't have any evidence of, and frankly I was only incidentally involved in this so I don't really have any stake in this situation, so I haven't looked into either of them very closely.

As far as this forum seeming to be obsessed with potential scammers while ignoring actual proven scammers, I agree 100%. There seems to be a rising pattern of "social justice warriors" who are looking to top off their ego and forum status by subjecting people to shaming and blame with little or no evidence. They often claim they are protecting the community, but this is a bit unrealistic and ineffectual. Additionally a lot of honest users get caught up in this ego driven witch hunt. Mob action is never historically a very good way to apply restorative justice.  Unfortunately the staff foster this kind of mentality by catering to these trolls, extortionists, and scammers operating under a guise of social justice.

Edit: I did also just now notice that the account "MTGObitcoin" was created the same day "verification" was burned.

OK, this is a post from Verification towards Niann.


Niann claims that Verification was defended by shipitbuddy.
Then today this account is trying to exchange bitcoins for Skrill. Not only. He left a positive feedback to shipitbuddy.
Is it possible all three of these accounts belong to the same person?


What annoys me in this forum, is that you guys are really good at targeting "Potential Scammers", but you suck at targeting REAL ones.

Again - Im not saying he is a scammer for sure, but c'mon there are allegations for 1000's of dollars worth of scams and you don't even look into it? People get scammer tags for 5 bucks (eventually).

I am not an admin, so I cannot do anything about it, should anyone ask why I ask these questions.

I just wanted to chime in here since I have had some personal experience with Shipitbuddy.  His buddy "Verification" paid some money for the temporary use of a friend of mine's account with the stipulation it not be used to take out loans. I got a request for a very large loan in my PM and contacted the actual owner of the account via alternative means, and he verified that it was not him making the request.

More details are here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=875976.0;all

I then made a neutral post on the "Verification" account after I was pointed to it by the real owner and the user himself admitted it was him. He didn't like this so he left me a negative rating. As a result I replied with  my own negative, which was well deserved to begin with but I figured I would cut him a break. He didn't see it as a break and went on the offensive against me, which is why I decided to go with a full negative after this. After this his buddy "Shipitbuddy" made a series of demands and threats against me, after which I also marked his account.

He quickly became apologetic and changed his aggressive stance toward me once he realized I would not be intimidated by his threats. Because he seemed like he genuinely regretted his actions I removed the negative rating. Now I am reading this and I am thinking maybe I should have left it. While the evidence I am providing is mostly circumstantial, it does demonstrate his associates with scammers, and himself is willing to make threats to defend them. Frankly I wouldn't believe a word out of his mouth here. Be warned.

nothing im in the US

What happened to u in there?

yep not worth getting banned from PS, i wish i could still play there.

Guys, they took the 1000$ out of my account and they restore it back ,  third time it happened in 2 months, so im not longer reciving $$ from not trusted members into Pokerstars, once more and they close my account :/.

I think that these pictures do not prove anything, and have you ever heard of something known as escrow?
If you are too lazy to use an escrow, u deserved this.

Yeah almost read " was restored back " as hacked as well





I dont see where he says that he reversed it and it got locked?

Wow, I read ShipitBuddy's post as "My account was hacked" for some reason.

If you read closer that isn't what happened...shipitbuddy was sent $1000 in pokerstars in exchange for his BTC. The $1000 was tried to be reversed and pokerstars froze his account. He is out $1000 BTC but was able to get his PS restored back, don't know if he got the $1000 he was suppose to or PS took it out of his account.

If your accounts get hacked and they're used to scam somebody you're responsible for paying them back.

I have never scammed anyone and my account was restored back, this guy is a scammer, beware trading with him.

Sorry mate but you clearly didn't check things right. Did you fail to see the scam accusation posted by user lolilol on 2014-11-14 claiming he was scammed $800?

Also a quick search of "shipitbuddy" in the scam accusations section would have pointed you to this thread:

Sorry to say but you have only yourself to blame for your loss. Red flags where visible.

Can you provide screenshots of pm?
