well this guy https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/beaman-484393 scammed me of 440 USD after I paid him on paypal and he disappeared and stop reply to msgs. He even used a email cloaker to fake an email from changer.com posing as a staff member http://imgur.com/A6ZRUky,hICFLE9,BuWQ8Bi,2JIapXA,PmZJJAd#0 , which after he disappeared I emailed changer.com to check and they said he is not affilated with them http://imgur.com/A6ZRUky,hICFLE9,BuWQ8Bi,2JIapXA,PmZJJAd#1 . here he is trying to gain my trust by lying saying he is a changer.com staff http://imgur.com/A6ZRUky,hICFLE9,BuWQ8Bi,2JIapXA,PmZJJAd#4 . His paypal account is fake as well, it says his name is Kevin Reyes, where in reality, after searching his phone number on skype, which says he is female from dubai, http://imgur.com/A6ZRUky,hICFLE9,BuWQ8Bi,2JIapXA,PmZJJAd#2 ,it shows he is actually Rana/Muhammad Waqas or Faisal Tehsin from Pakistan http://imgur.com/A6ZRUky,hICFLE9,BuWQ8Bi,2JIapXA,PmZJJAd#3 .

I emailed paypal to stop the transaction.. Hopefully I can bring him to justice? Does anyone recognize this guy?

That's very common around here. Next time use a trusted forum escrow and have them sign a message before sending funds.

Luckily you used paypal and will most likely be able to reverse the funds so nothing is lost.

In Collateral I Trust.
Using Paypal, only the buyer will be protected via escrow, not the seller.

At least he can provide this kind of information..

I have well established flippa, ebay and online business sites with 100% feedback and a good history of customers that I can provide verification for.

It would help but still do nothing to stop a chargeback in the future. A lot of sites have other safeguards to go after someone that acts inappropriate but not so much here.

It doesn't matter what other businesses your own. Escrow should be used to protect both parties so whatever reputation you claim to have will not affect anyone.

Hey guys, I'm a complete newbie on this forum but I have well established flippa, ebay and online business sites with 100% feedback and a good history of customers that I can provide verification for. I need to buy 440 USD worth of bitcoins by paypal. I can email you at my various business emails to verify my reputation if needed. Hopefully someone can oblige and we can finish this trade today within 2 hours or so. pm me here or on skype at: sixlibra . I can provide you with some of my online products as compensation for doing this trade. PM for details.

edit: I also have a localbitcoins acc I opened yesterday with 2 completed trades with some of the veteran sellers, CryptFair and Trager, for 500 and 400 USD, if that helps boost confidence.
