Topic: Update On Someone Paid Me $2,500 in April And Forgot... (Read 742 times)

Thanks for pointing us about that thing and yes I really didn't noticed that the thread got bumped after two months. I must have to be careful next time when sharing my opinion regarding an issue because sometimes we just see the objects of the picture and ignore the whole scenario that is taking place in that picture. Thank Royse777! I just blanked my reply and I will remove it after 24 hours. It doesn't make sense to share your opinion in a thread where @OP or the members of the thread aren't active at all. Thanks once again!

This is called spamming.

You bumped a thread that had last response two months ago and you quoted a post that was over two months ago.
The other two posters did not even notice where it started.

O.P. is delusional. no way in this world a person would do that. the agreement was $4000 but he paid in advance for $2500 like what seems to be the problem? It's good enough to buy yourself medicine

No I don't think people's mistakes defines them but not every one who makes mistakes are willing to learn from them. To some people they keep repeating same mistake they made long time ago simply because they believe people forgave them may be because what they did was seen as a mistake but what do you think of people who keep doing same thing and call it mistakes? Should they not be punished so they don't think of doing wrong again? don't you think it is better they face the penalty of doing wrong so they don't think of doing wrong again.

Taking criminals as an exampl, there have some cases where criminals were granted pardon but they end up doing more of their crime simply because of the second chance that was granted to them.

Getting this before people.

The stories that are made up by some forum members in order to seek merits are becoming more and more unbelievable yet they continue regurgitating lie after lie. What would you really say the chances are of that scenario happening as you described it?

Add to that the OP stating he will refuse to share transaction details therefore no evidence will be provided yet he assumes we all are basically going to take his word for it that someone not from this forum paid him $2500 and forgot about collecting his work and the OP being a caring individual is trying to reunite the client with his work? No, we will not take his word for it.

Someone who is not a member of this forum, but knows a bitcointalk moderator, paid OP to do a job, but forgot to collect it and the moderator doesn't seem to know them either, so OP wrote this story on bitcointalk, so that person, who doesn't use bitcointalk, sees it and responds... I bet only OP understands his motives, but we are all dumb for not understanding and not believing.

As the situation quite expectedly progresses along the farcical track with each post from the OP and with no evidence of any $2500 payment ever being made let alone being received by the OP being presented and with the OP categorically stating he will refuse to provide evidence, I wanted to take the opportunity to add that both the Newchanka account and the Cyberczar account have received negative tags from me and have been excluded from my trust.

I suppose the OP must be disappointed he brought unnecessary attention to both the Newchanka and Cyberczar accounts but he has nobody except himself to blame.

The OP obviously concocted the story in the hope to be on the receiving end of frantic merits from the community as a thank you gesture for his (alleged) integrity but his plan backfired. He received trust exclusion and he also received negative trust therefore had he not created this nonsense thread he would have avoided it.

What made me laugh was the manner in which the original ambiguous lie put forward using as much incomprehension as possible yet as soon as I tagged his account he edited the OP and added very comprehensive English to elaborate on what allegedly happened with the $2500 he will never be able to prove he received.

As you correctly pointed out, there is no proof of anything the OP claims except that he has created this type of thread in the past.

If @OP is not aware of account selling, it's his mistake, not the DT members. If you did plagiarized post in 2011 and you're active until now, but someone report your plagiarized post since 2011, do you think the moderator is wrong since they ban you because of old mistake?

There's no proof if he's really own the $2,500, there's no proof if he got hired, we're here just because we trust his words, but it seems it's not.

But I have ANSWERED it in what you quoted. Isn't that clear enough? Someone from the same company that paid later sent the txid and a content that I published for them on my website.
The $2,500 I was paid is for a job that took me six weeks to complete, so it's mine. I just need the hirer to reappear, collect their job and give me a balance of $1,500. Is it clear now? And if you've been following, you should have seen me post that the fellow knows a moderator here, Mprep, but when I contacted Mprep, he said he couldn't recollect the Telegram ID. So I'm aware that he comes to this forum even though he's not a member. The purpose of this post is for him to see it if he comes again. So I want it bumped up steadily.

You can see the email from the exchange that sent last year's payment you're interested in here: https://imgur.com/a/okUotWi

But you still haven't answered my question about "Where you able to see the person who sent you the coin deposited on your exchange wallet on September 18th last year? Yes or No, and if NO, what did you do about the coin? Because I already know it's quite different from this issue and you weren't expecting any payment. And secondly, I will like to ask that what do you intend to do now with the $2500 that you got paid for and yet the person hasn't contacted you since, and yet you were able to trace the wallet address that sent you the fund, and already noticed it has huge balance. Do you intend to send the money back to the address or what. While thirdly, is the person who sent you the $2500 a member of this forum? Because if not what's the need of posting this thread asking us if we see someone who sent $2500 and have forgotten to come meet you?

Lol now I know.. he used same telegram user in 2019+- 😃

No there is no beef  

The OP is a fantasist who makes up stories in order to try to receive merits whilst claiming he is doing nothing like that. As far as I am concerned he claims he writes for a living but he has avoided answering the question while posting about other things. I thought he would at least provide an answer but I probably gave him undue credit.

I don't care about the post at all I'm just watching the beef & this question poped up 😄

I merely asked the OP what the connection was between the Newchanka account and the member operating the Cyberczar account. He has posted a lot in this thread but has unsurprisingly remained unwilling to answer.

Why are you implying the OP has more than one account?

Is having more than one account on the forum a problem? Me and most of users have more than one

The OP is calling you a dumb fellow who is living in the past. I guess that is his way of insulting  

You should ask the OP about the exact relationship between his Newchanka account and the member operating the Cyberczar account maybe that will drag him from the past and back in to the present.

Since he likes to write a lot maybe he will provide an explanation that would make sense  

Thanks man. You didn't disappoint. The issue is that the guy has been out of circulation. Otherwise, this wouldn't come up. At least, I got an idea to check on the company the articles were about. About the money, I agree. You wouldn't believe the transaction volumes I saw going in and out of the address that paid me. On a lighter note, working for a client like that on a regular basis would be just great. The money may just be too small for him to bother, though I hope it's not the case.


Like the other dumb fellows, you're still living in the past...

But you seem to be living off bitcointalk. I'm talking about your account deals.
The way I see it, we'd next see someone come and claim they were the ones who broke a deal with you and got all the money back. These stories usually have a continuation if left to unfold in peace, but unfortunately for you too many people came to this thread and spoiled it. Back to the drawing board

I have no idea or whatever you and your business partner have done but have been thinking, with you dropping this here will it help in any way?
This is between the both of you but forget how you think it would work out but I can tell you for free that you ain't going to get what you looking for (like a solution) cos I can't see anybody owning up to this...
Forget it and end this, is pointless to me.

That is a crazy story but stranger things have happened. I’ve seen plenty of deals fall apart because someone mysteriously disappeared and I’m sure some folks in this space have more money and ideas than they can juggle, so mistakes like this could happen for a million reasons. Let’s just hope everyone is happy and this was just an oversight.

Yea? I really used to see you as one of the reasonable fellows on this forum prior to this time. In fact, I once quoted one of your comments about an exploit in one of my blogs, perhaps, when it goes beyond computers, it isn't really your turf. That you never trust people doesn't mean there are no people who do trust. "Create reputation indeed" Not everyone is living on Bitcointalk for reputation.

What? Don't spend the money but if it was waited for some months the money is yours? Really, man. If you don't earn the money, it's not yours, regardless of how long you hold onto it.

Unless you're referring to the quote 'Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins". And that's how crypto works.

Yeah boy. Keep bumping this thread for me and be useful for once. You know, that's what idle merit-hunting fellow like you is good at. Who knows, you may just help me find my man.

 Really don't know hoe to go about this, but I'll sure try.

Well, when you realise you no longer suffer from amnesia and you are willing to post evidence of the imaginary payment, we might possibly engage in conversation further including your alleged redemption from past errors  

We already knew it because you were obviously fabricating the whole drama in the hope of receiving merits.

Yes I did tag your Newchanka account, it should have been tagged years ago. Even though you messed up on this Newchanka account you might do better with the others you are farming. Better late than never, at least this one is tagged.

Ok, let us not digress (not my) friend.

Since you can write a lot and that is apparently what you portray your trade to be, can you explain in detail exactly what the relationship is between your Newchanka account and the member operating the Cyberczar account.

If you cannot post back with an explanation based on your very own "Just Think it, I'll Write it" signature text, then do run along.

Contact the blockchain company and that's it. He might be an agent that died.

Let's not digress my friend. I passed the merit hunting level years ago. As you can see, this account was created in 2017. So I left the merit hunting level for you. In fact, I only am active around once in a while. For now, I'm hunting for clients, especially a missing client. Continue with your signature campaign hunting okay? In any case, if you haven't got a reasonable advice on how to locate him, do run along and increase your post count elsewhere.

No, I do not think anything of the sort. My life does not revolve around Bitcointalk but as you were the one trying to build up this "Newchanka" account I would say you (courtesy of your other accounts including any you intend on trying to sell) prove that your life revolves around this forum.

You anticipated you would receive bundles of merits for your fabricated story but in the end you received a negative tag for account selling. Now, had you not bothered with making this thread to attract attention on to yourself you would not have received the negative tag and would not have been excluded from my trust list.

I hope others also tag and exclude your "Newchanka" account as that would send out a message to other accounts traders from some of us old and new members.

Not really define them but it's almost too impossible these days to get such an amount and the sender will not look for the owner of this address. Believe it or not, people kill for $20. With $2500, it's already a dragnet.

And then he posted the story here like he is sure the sender is not from here. If he posts the tx, someone will probably find the origin of the coin but if he isn;t posting it, the story could just b e a lie.

Does people's past experience/mistakes really defines them ? I believe people makes mistake and learn from it as well, maybe the OP was never aware of account selling not being encourage in the forum for the first place before such post was made in the past.
If the OP really got the offer and was paid that amount of money and the person who hired the OP is no where to be found, without considering the OP's past I will say it's of a good intentions, because most people will be silent and want to squander the money without even making any form of noise.

Don't you think an old member like you shouldn't be stuck in 2017?  I'm always amused at folks like you who think life revolves around Bitcointalk.

Somehow it seems to me that you are the closest to the truth, because this story, like some others presented before, is not very convincing - and all together it really looks like some kind of bad attempt to create a reputation. Besides, why would someone just send $2500 to someone unknown without thinking about using escrow?

The purpose is this: I asked if he is a member here, he said no, but he knows a moderator here. Since he knows a moderator, I assumed he comes to the forum. Perhaps, he'll come again, see this and remember. By the way, I've asked the moderator about the client and even gave him the Telegram username but he didn't recollect him.

My simple question to you is that the person who paid you 2500$ is not a member of this forum, so what is the purpose of posting this on here in this forum? If he is not a member here, he won't be coming here to see what you have posted.

What was the mode of communication between you and him? If he is offline at that medium, then just wait and do nothing. If he never appears again, then you can keep that money. But I doubt that anyone who has paid will disappear until or unless he or she is in a very serious issue like an accident or near death tragedy???

Yeah, I remember that issue and its quite different from this because I wasn't expecting the payment. That was actually a business that wanted to guest post on my site. Apparently, the chap that made the payment didn't communicate the fellow that would send the article for their backlink posting. She contacted me weeks later with the TXID. This is quite different because this guy paid and hasn't collected his job for months.

He can always verify the real sender by asking to provide the txid and the wallet address use for that transaction by private message. And if those people cannot provide any proof then we conclude that they are just trolling and trying their luck to fool OP then maybe to get the amount mentioned by him.

@OP since the client is missing and if you don't like to use that money maybe set aside that funds and wait for him to contact you again. If he's still not coming back after few months then maybe that's the best time that you can use the money. You already made an effort to reach him out but nothing happen so take an action with the funds since maybe he's not coming back for that.

The OP has a history of account trading therefore dismiss the nonsense he is posting. Do not believe anything the OP is claiming because he is attention-seeking.

He probably thinks that by making up false stories and narratives he would receive merits but his irresponsible conduct can be traced back to his first post in the forum under this "Newchanka" account:

OP you have created these two similar threads before this one.
How do I find a Client that paid for A Job and Disappeared?
Someone Sent Me Some Coins, Could Be A Mistake

Is it a coincidence or what? Why are your clients always disappearing leaving funds? Maybe you are always fortunate? Or you are carrying out a survey?

This looks fishy in my eye, but I'm sorry to say this, because I can remember you O.P made a similar post like this on September 18th 2022 (i.e 9 months ago) about someone sending you some coin into your exchange wallet address of which you were yet to discover who that was Someone Sent Me Some Coins, Could Be A Mistake, of which before I go further I will love to ask some few questions as follows,
1. Where you able to see the person who sent you the coin deposited on your exchange wallet on September 18th last year? Yes or No
2. If the answer to the first question is "NO" then what did you do with the fund?
3. What kind of website do you run, because if it is a crypto investment websites then you are likely to be getting such deposit once in a while.

OP for your employer to have been this silent for long does not connotes any good. Definitely there must be something wrong because I see no reason why some one would pay such amount for services and yet is no where to be found but I would advise you to follow the councel of yahoo62278 to try reaching out to the organization for which you wrote the article for and see if you could get any tangible response from them.
Nevertheless, you making this thread have exposed you to impersonators and possibly scammers who would come in for you. I opine that you be careful and thread with caution as you deal and responds to message via your DM. Scammers are everywhere which I believe you know.

The articles were for a popular blockchain company. Do I just contact the company and ask if they ordered for some articles?


Some are already inbox. No, I don't think he's gone. He really needed the articled in 4 weeks. I was the one that insisted it wasn't possible. Apparently, he had just the 4 weeks. What baffles me is why he's been offline since then. Went through his on-chain transactions and they're quite large. That's why I wondered if he forgot this.

You wrote the articles correct? Do you not know the business the articles were for? How did they contact you? They must have given you some sort of contact information when they asked you for your services.

You may need to have a disclaimer for unclaimed work or something.

If someone get scammed like this, he's really naive because there's no exchange or wallet which demand more than $2,500 for minimum amount to withdraw. If it's about fee to transfer, it don't make sense too because you use Bitcoin too which automatically deduct your total holdings when you make a transaction.

That guy must be a millionaire, ordinary citizen can only accept to lose for $50-$100 without any problem.

What article did he ask you to work on? I don't think it's difficult to identify your client if he is promoting a specific brand where you have to research in detail at the start of the deal, you know the relevant company you should contact first but with some sensitive information kept private.

The spending is quite large if this money is taken from the company's marketing allocations, I'm not sure even the wealthy would forget this if they had good financial records.

But OP you started the same thread a few weeks ago. How do I find a Client that paid for A Job and Disappeared?. Is it still the same client?

Anyway, our life activities are not predictable. Maybe something happens to the client because nobody will want to waste such amount of money. Maybe health challenges or other uncertainties might be the reason for his disappearance. Maybe he can just show up at any time so ensure that you are through with the job.

Your counsel is good but he said the person is not a member of the forum which means he might not be located in the forum. But it will be difficult to locate the owner except if he had posted the address on any platform.

I think that person should have a various way to be contacted why not chat that person on his or her social medias handle. I believe if his work was fully delivered he would definitely come for a balance since the task aren't completed and besides you may receive some random messages claiming they are the one who did such task for you. Maybe sometimes you wouldn't make it that open because in every platform we have some people who always clones people username name to claim what they aren't.

Edit..

I never knew it was op who did the task and hasn't got paid completely.
sorry for my bad

Oh, no! You just opened up yourself for evil ones to come up with claims they're the one. I hope you've a way to sieve that, anyway. Do let the forum know once those who will masquerade themselves as the right person come up (they will come) so we can take appropriate sanctions on them.

By the way, has the thought of the person you're looking for passing on occurred to you? It's a possibility too. We're in a perilous time and news of death aren't scarce any more.

What kind of justice you are offering in your advice? This is not fare because someone hired him and also paid him advance so OP has responsibility to do something so that he might search out the client.

I don't know OP why you are too late to post an announcement regarding this. Though it's not a duty for you but it would be better if you try to search out your client in April. Anyway It's been too late and there is a less chance that you might search your client. Have you got the client from Services section? Then there maybe a possibility to find out that guy. And obviously sign a message if someone contact you and claim it.

Expect some impersonators to message you, I hope you have ways to recognize your client you don't have to post this all you have to do is send him a message on the platform you communicated like telegram or his account here or an email but if you cannot reach him and since this is already posted and this is to show that you have the intention of giving back the excess amount, then better lock this thread now, I don't think he is throwing away that money, maybe he is busy and God forbid something bad could have happened to him, we never know until he reaches out to you.

You do not need to stress yourself, just wait for the person to contact you. Do not spend the money. If you have waited for some many months or a year and the person has not contacted you, I think the money has become yours.

I saw something this on this forum this year or so and this is another one. I wonder how some people can do something like that, or a way to look for someone to scam.

I have seen some people that started scam like this before and requesting very small amount in a way to scam anyone that is trying to help. I hope this is not like that.

It's certainly good that you're trying to show an act of justice, but in your place it would be better to shut up and take the money))

If the employer didn't even remember he had sent money to you, it mean that's amount doesn't bother him. He's the one who contact you, so he will not forget about your contact and where he contact you. If you're a good guy you can hold until he comeback, but if the employer never contact you anymore, you have a choice to use it or not.

Disclosing the wallet address only leak privacy, but there's no other problem because if @OP ask to sign a message, there's no way for the impersonator to reach the address except they know the seed phrase.

Doing this will just make you a target of impersonator claiming for this money. You can use the wallet address that he use to send the funds on searching the owner because he might posted that address on social media or here in the forum.

Don't disclosed the wallet address and always ask for signed message for the user that will claim the money.

Someone that is not a member of this forum saw my service and hired me to write some articles since April. I charged him $4000 and asked for $3000 advance. He paid the advance of $2,500, but has since vanished. I'm putting up this post in case he forgot he gave someone $2,500. If you know someone that paid someone for a job and forgot the person, please let them know I'm the one. As in, can't imagine someone throwing away their money just like that.
I also hope he sees this post and remembers.


Edit: Some people don't believe my story. That's not atypical of Bitcointalk. Anyways, I do not care if you believe it or not. For those of you that have given me some advice, you're all appreciated. Hopefully, my client will be back. I really pray he comes back because men like him come by very rarely. As in, men who have trust in a weird harsh, near-trustless world. For those hoping for a TXID, keep hoping, but that's not gonna happen.

I've written to the company. Hopefully, if he's working with them they'll respond. Thanks all.

Last year, someone sent me some unexpected funds and I posted it here. Some folks say I'm sort of hunting for merits and reputation (whatever that means) for these posts. In other words, that I claim people sent funds when no one did. Anyway, those seem to be mainly people who live in Bitcointalk.

In the interest of objective people, I'll explain what happened last year. An exchange contacted me to publish an article for them on my site. It seems that the contact didn't know when the finance chap sent me the funds and for days, I didn't know the source of the crypto. Later, perhaps weeks later, the initial contact sent me an email and notified me that they had paid for my service. Here is a link to a snapshot of the email: https://imgur.com/a/okUotWi


I'll keep updating this thread until my $2.5k client shows up.

Update:

No response from the company yet. I'll give them a couple of weeks before sending another email. Meanwhile, I want this before a lot of people. Who knows...
