Title: Scammer - trake
Post by: BCB on August 25, 2012, 02:33:42 AM
Evidently user trake has been flipping between BCT and Bitcoinary scamming users, receiving PPUSD and not sending coin.

So far the following users have claimed to be scammed.

starsoccer9 had a 14.5 BTC trade reversed.

I'm going to ask these and any other users to post proof of amounts owed here -  paypal screen shots, empty btc address etc and ask user Trake to make arrangements for repayment.

If user trake does not make arrangements to pay or refund I'll release his real name, home address, cell phone number, ip address and other personally identifying information and the scammed users can pursue the case further.

I'm also holding funds sent to me by trake in escrow that will be returned to him upon full repayment or used to repay the scammed users.

I also have emails where he has admitted to the scams and has promised to repay.  These too will be released if necessary.

Great! That seems like some good evidence there. However, that could be anyone. Could you post proof that these transactions are linked to the user in question?

Also, does this user have a Bitcointalk account? Were any of the transactions made over Bitcointalk? If not, do you have evidence that the two accounts (assuming he has a Bitcointalk account) are the same person?

How were the escrow funds sent to you?

Just as a note you should probable simply google user names and email before you send funds.

I think something needs to be done at this point that he simply gets to pick and choose who he pays back is alot of BS

you're out of luck starsoccer9

I don't think anyone is getting anymore money out of Trake unless you got to Pittsburgh and find  him.
