who is this guy so we can tag his account, scammer should not be left to go around undisturbed

be aware because some scammer buy a trusted account and use it as escrow, they control both account the escrow and the account for trading

Yes I agree... post public such username/user .... when there is a scam we need to know and "red tag" !

He didn't give me a bitcontalk account. He probably didn't even know what bitcoin was, judging by his "bitcoin address" Wink

If he is a scammer he is very bad in that, he didn't even bother to prepare everything for good scam.
But if he isn't a scammer he is for sure dumb and lazy.
I don't see any other explanation, good thing he is busted in any case.
Your story is good example for people who trade, always infor yourself about people u trade with.

You know despite on the scenario you described, if he did provide another btc address from a public ledger and shown proof of other peoples btc.

The escrow would be obviously the safety catch here since he/she isnt going to be paying from the same address.

But, yeah scammers are sometimes not on the brightest thinkers lol.

Wow. This guy was so smart lol, even if he didn't know then he should have just made a new coinbase account, it isn't that hard.
Goes to show that scammers aren't that smart, and not really that hard to prevent.

Just wanted to share a funny scam attempt.

I was trying to sell my knife (Karambit UV MW), and someone added me straight away. He said he wanted to pay on real money. I said I only accepted bitcoin, and he said okay. He quickly rushed into which escrow I was going to use. But I kept persisting with the question of "Can you give me your bitcoin address so I know you actually have the money?"

He finally listened to me, and said he had exactly $20 in good wallet, and have me the address 1F1tAaz5x1HUXrCNLbtMDqcw6o5GNn4xqX.

I checked it straight away, and found out the address was a wikileaks address Roll Eyes

It turns out when you search up "bitcoin address", the wikileaks donation address is the first thing that comes up. What a joke. Grin

scammers are getting lazier.
you should ask for a signed message from bitcoin address, he was a lazy scammer otherwise he could have just opened blockchain.info and copied one of the addresses from live feed and say this is mine.

Lazy and with low IQ scammer or he thinks that others are silly. I wish I can see the link of profile of this scammer guy.
