Unfortunately, about the only time an admin or experienced member can help is by providing advice before there's a problem.  

A topic on the home page of the Bitcoin wiki is titled:
 "Best practices for traders"
 - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Secure_Trading

It provides suggestions that, if followed, would likely have protected you from this situation.

That wiki article contains a link to -otc Recommendations, which read:


How can you prove that Jermainé didn't already give you a Mt. Gox redeemable code?  That's where the necessity for using GPG signed communications comes in.   If I am sending non-reversible bitcoins and accepting a reversible payment method like Dwolla for a transaction in the range of $500, I'm going to want to make damn sure I can prove that I really did deliver whatever it was we agreed to.   Since Mt. Gox doesn't provide the ability for a third party to see who redeemed a redeemable code, or when it was redeemed even, I don't know I would do a trade with that payment method, at least with someone I don't already have a trading history with.  At least with Bitcoin there is a publicly visible transaction ledger where if the agreement is that N bitcoins are to be sent to X address, any third party can verify that has truly occurred.

Another recommendation is to break a transaction down into smaller parts.  The -otc recommendations read:

- http://wiki.bitcoin-otc.com/wiki/Using_bitcoin-otc#Risk_of_fraud

With Dwolla this is easy -- the fee per transfer is just $0.25.  So even without using an escrow intermediary, ... had you broken this down into four transfers of $125 each, you would be out at most $125 at this point.

Hopefully you can get this resolved with Jermainé.  Best of luck to you!

That's not how it work.  Bitcointalk only connects buyers and sellers. 

You are one your own after that.  Looks like Dwolla may help you get your money back.  Please keep us posted on how that goes.

I have sent many PM's to Jermainé but he didn't responded and now finally i have talked
with dwolla for stopping this payment. They have placed a hold on pending withdrawal on
Jermainé's dwolla and suspended his account. I want moderators and admin's help so i can
get my money back. I am really disappointed that i have submitted my fraud issue yesterday
on USD between MTGOX <--> DWOLLA topic. But no admin or experienced member tried to
contact me or help me
420 contacted me to give a little help. All the help will be appreciated. Thanks
