Hey Everyone!
I have sad news. I was scammed. And being naive and not knowing enough played a role at this. Also greed was in this.
There is a user named BobbyL and he also goes by Michail1. He was looking to buy a large quantity of XC. We talked and he agreed to buy everything I had because he was offering me 3.5BTC for 1500 XC. 1500XC was my total amount I had been saving since June. I've been buying a few here and there every week (especially when it was cheap back in June).
He setup a wallet on blockchain.info with a username and password with 3.5 BTC in it. When I logged into the wallet to check, I saw the BTC. I didn't get the private key to transfer funds out. He told me to send him the XC and I will get the private key. Well, I sent the XC, but he never sent anything and changed the password very quickly. This person wont return my emails. His email is [email protected] - He goes by Michail Hoffman.
I lost my life savings. 4 months of saving XC and it's all gone due to greed for some quick turn around cash. I feel bad. If anyone knows how to get my XC back, please help.

Argh. That's awful. So sorry to hear that.
What a bastard.
Next time use an escrow service you trust (localbitcoins.com?) or make the other party take the risk.

p.s. it can also be used with bitcoin ie bithalo. The client is now one piece of software with both options for setting up a contract with bitcoins or blackcoins
