I hate this people, that's the reason newbies are not allowed to buy or sell a single BTC in this forum. Admins should take note and put something on the user you can see its a possible scammer, or a confirmed scammer.

I think more posts should be required before allowing access to other forums.  Not because it doesn't mean they are a scammer.. but because it gives you more to look at in their previous posts to give a possibly better indication of what they may be all about.

I did not think of doing this until AFTER i bought these 3 singles (yes i was the other idiot) - and after reading his posts i see that he said in one he was doing some bitcoin project then in another that he was getting out of it.  I probably would have been more cautious.  At least i paid with paypal (and i have opened a dispute to lock the funds - did it really quick after seing Bogarts post).

Definitely a scammer; according to the matching PayPal addresses, he's the same guy as Scarface Tommy.

He PM'ed me offering to sell 3 BFL singles the other day.  I took the bait but fortunately he wanted to be paid via PayPal.

I'll be opening my dispute right now...

Scarface Tommy PM'ed me regarding buying his Avalon ASIC. He stopped responding when I asked him for a picture with the date on a piece of paper.

Something about this seemed fishy, but I almost got sucked in too.

the guy is in Vietnam. Good luck (you should have used the 'unauthorized transaction' - less questions, faster money back...

I went ahead an opened a dispute on PP.  Hopefully that will lock the funds in place so I can get them back if he fails to deliver.

If he does indeed deliver (looks doubtful now), I can close the dispute and release them then.

The paypal receipt shows payment to David Green ([email protected]).  Googling that email finds what appears to be a previous scam of his:

I've been the victim of this type of scam about 2 years ago for a radeon 5850. I stated I paid for it in the thread, and another person said he paid for it too. It was clear that we both got scammed. I'm just trying to help you claw your money back before it's too late.

I PM'ed the guy earlier about his bitcoins for sale. Suggested he use FastCash4Bitcoins to sell them if he wanted Paypal, otherwise I'd offer to send him Paypal if he'd use an escrow service. I never heard back from him. Scammer.

I'd definitely just do a chargeback on the guy. The longer you give him with those Paypal funds, the more likely it'll be he will withdrawal them to his bank account and clear. 3 business days is average. It would be nothing for him to send to a bank account, withdraw from it, then close the bank account and you'd never see your funds again if you give him a week. If you chargeback now, it would most likely freeze his withdrawal request until the dispute is cleared.

I used pp backed by a cc, which seemed safe.  Looks like I may find out just how safe.

I would chargeback as soon as you can. clorox stinks of scammer. He posted in Newbie section until he could get out and immediately went to "sell" bitcoins and BFL singles.

I dunno if I really have a basis to chargeback yet.  I'm thinking I'll give him a week, and chargeback if no delivery and no contact.

I've already PM'd him asking for an explanation of the seeming duplicate sale.  The forums say he's not logged in since.

I'm pretty sure you guys just got scammed. Clorox only has 9 posts. Did you escrow?

Scammer made serious bank. 2000 dollars.

I just bought one, so I guess there are 2 left.

So clorox, another user just contacted me and said that you took payment from them for all 3 units.

Do you have more than 3 to sell, or are you scamming us both?

Butterfly have shipped something Huh  Huh

These are their 832MH/s FPGA Singles, which have been shipping since March 2012.  They're good for a $599 trade-in credit towards the purchase of an SC Single until June 2013.

I just bought one, so I guess there are 2 left.
