Title: BTCFan97 Scammed Me for $55
Post by: BigBitcoinMan on July 12, 2015, 09:32:01 AM
I agreed to buy $100 in starbucks cards for $40 in bitcoins. I sent the coins but was told instantly after that he no longer had access at the bitcoin address I sent the coins to (I had purchased a few days before and this was the address he gave me).

I forgave him and to remedy it he agreed to give me a discounted rate on my future orders. So this time I sent $15 for $40 starbucks cards to the new address he provided. It has been about 2 days and he responds intermittently, in his last message telling me he has been busy and ran out of cards so he will send the money back to my address. He never did that. Given his behavior I find it reasonable to believe he received the original $40 I sent him (considering he has access to the address a few days earlier and never told me explicitly not to send the money there for the next order when messaging him) and was just trying to get me for a few more dollars.

No posts since Nov 2013, then you pop back up with 4 posts today all about the $55 scam.

Seems strange  ???

Yeah, I'm going  to have to ask you to provide proof for all the things you said.
You said you gave him 40$ a few days ago? What's the transaction link at blockchain.info?
You gave him another 15$ after your 40$ went to waste? Seems silly to trust someone for that, but where's the transaction link?

Where are your chat logs where you both mention the terms of the trade? Where did he say he would refund you?

We can't solve any scam accusations until the facts come out.

Member sent to the wrong address twice and that is why I have not sent the cards, on top of it the member is spam posting all these warnings about me on threads that are unrelated.

what's make you think he sent it to the wrong address ?, according the screenshot, this address matched with an address that you sent to OP
