Topic: User Jakers: Beware (Read 7082 times)
once a bitcoin scammer always a bitcoin scammer.
Unless Barrow, Alaska is either a physical or proxy hotbed of Bitcoin users, Jakers aka Gia, Niann, Desertz, Farley, blupig, is still active in #bitcoin-otc (see my previous post for the IP>nick history.
Hello All,
You may recall in many times I posted my trust for jakers in the past. But now that he has left he took about 150 USD + worth of My GCs with him. Just wanted to put this warning out in-case he comes back. And to revoke any Rep I may have given him.

Also I did a bit of digging and this user is using a brand new wallet address.
Nothing to be alarmed about really, but consider the following...
Read Got BTC's past posts...he definitely is not new to Bitcoin. Quite the opposite actually. So he probably has had a couple established wallets by now right? I have been in BTC for about 7-8 months now and I have about 4 established wallets ALL with transactions. So why make it a point to make sure you have a brand new wallet to go with your brand new username? Looks like someone is trying to hide something.

Also using a different BTC address for each transaction isn't a bad idea, it makes it easier to make sure that the person actually paid you and allows for more anonymity.
On an unrelated note, I think that it would be a good idea if the forum flagged users that repeatedly use an IP address solely associated with a scammer on this forum.

It's actually the default behavior for the Armory client. It is an aspect I find both convenient and as annoying as hell, but when deterministic wallets become standard on every client it will be the default behavior.
Jakers is as shady as shit, don't get me wrong. I just want to discourage confusing prudence with malice.

I think this new "Got BTC" guy may be Jakers. I have no hard proof, I will admit. But they have similar posting patterns. "Got BTC" popped up around the time Jakers was being outed as a scammer.
I also find there to be similarites in typing/speaking style.
Finally, I PM'd Got BTC "hey jake," and got no dispute. Just a smiley with a question mark. What's to be confused about? Just say "I think you PM'd the wrong person."
Again, no hard evidence, but my gut tells me I am right here. From the first post I read of his I got that feeling.
If I am wrong I apologize in advance. If I turn out to be wrong with a reasonable amount of proof and community agreement, I will transfer 0.1 BTC to the user that I am accusing.
bang

I think he's been given enough time to respond.
Verdict please?
Scammer tagged. He's been given ample time to reply and defend himself. Verdict please?
Just sent him a link to this thread via Skype.

I have PM'ed Jakers asking for his side of the story. If he does not reply or provide adequate information, he will be tagged.
Nooo, Jakers? A SCAMMER? You don't say!
Hmm. Jakers, what is your reason here? It's not looking good for you. This is about the 4th accusation at you in this week alone.
Here is the complete chat log. I did not start saving copies of my sent messages to my outbox until I realized he was ignoring my messages and the deal was going south.
Notice at 1:05 pm he said he would send 1/3 of payment. Never got it.
Then at 1:57 pm he said give him 5-6 hours to finish a trade. I have not heard from him since.

Jakers offered to buy my Xbox code. I replied with a question and said that the amount he offered is acceptable. He never replied. Glad I didn't send the code...

As of right now the public perception of him is not good and he is not doing anything to help it.
I would love for him to prove me wrong though. I would much rather have have gc codes or BTC instead of being right about him being a scammer.

Wow. Looks like he got the guy above me too.
I can absolutely co sign on what Kalm is saying. This Jakers guy is a SCAMMER.
I made a thread trying to sell my $100 walmart gift cards. He said he would purchase three at the rate we negotiated which was 12.75 BTC for all three gc's.
We began the trade well over 24 hours ago. More like 30 hours ago actually. At first he claimed to be waiting on email confirmation from walmart.com after he used the gc's to purchase new gc's.
He claims to have received the first gc code but the second two had not arrived yet. While I had no way to verify this, we agreed to wait another 5-6 hours at the most and he send 4.25 BTC for the first gc while I waited.
He claimed to be waiting on a LR-->BTC trade and that was the last I heard from him. I have messaged him multiple times only to be ignored. He hops on and offline pretty regularly.
I have the message log to prove what I am saying. I have every message he sent me and started saving my outbox messages to him once he stopped responding.
Prove us wrong Jakers.
