Topic: User liveHS is a scammer (Read 750 times)
User DiabolusLoki is strangely similar to LiveHS. I strongly suspect this is another throwaway account from the same scammer. If admin had any way to check the IPs, that could help.
Always use an escrow!!
Especially with new members.

Sorry you got scammed, but there's absolutely no reason why you should have sent first to a 02/2014 account.
Yup, you're right. This is me being stupid all right. But that still doesn't change nor excuse the fact that this user is a scammer and should be prevented from doing this again. I realize this is meaningless since he could just open dozens of accounts but i'm doing what little i can do.

Why would you just send 1.575 bitcoin (almost 1000 dollar) to a random stranger on the Internet 
I know it's too late now, but: always use trusted escrow.
That address is also mentioned in another scam story:

So yeh most likely gone, sorry man.

Hello everyone, I tried to sell my bitcoins on a dutch site called 'marktplaats'. When someone wanted to buy them he told my if he could see my bitcoins at teamviewer, so I give him my id and pass. Then my screen froze and I saw him trying to move the bitcoins to his own wallet. Hes wallet is: 16yJTFDefLyE41HCfUtUbXtXDTQtbLQxuo. Luckily I could open task manager just in time and close teamviewer. I already sent him 0.01 two times because he wanted to see how withdraw works... I cant believe that I almost fell for this scam. Can anyone maybe trace him and tells me where he exactly lives etc? I already know his name is 'Geert' and lives in the netherlands.
So yeh most likely gone, sorry man.
Because i basically expect people to be honest, which is apparently a dumb thing to do. I thought splitting the transaction would even out some of the risk, but that still cost me those 1.575BTC. Let's just hope this can help even a little to prevent him from scamming anyone else.
Yes, show some screenshots...
Because a link and a btc transaction does not prove that he actually scammed you

As you can see, my balance doesn't show the promised 4.5BTC

Do you have any proofs?
Like what? All i could show is my MtGox address in the blockchain, or a copy of my MtGox account balance to prove that no funds have been transferred back to me. I really don't see what else i could provide to prove my claim, but feel free to make suggestions.

This user advertised selling GoxBTC for RealBTC. We exchanged PM and decided i would buy 9GoxBTC from him in exchange for 3.15RealBTC. I split the transaction in half to test first. I sent him 1.575BTC to this address: 16yJTFDefLyE41HCfUtUbXtXDTQtbLQxuo
Here is the TxID:

He immediately moved the funds to this address: 1JjXoBaaHPvBSiPvzsHau4V9tvkZq8ci9W and stopped replying to PM.
