Bitcoin Forum

What happened:
So the user btcbounty made a thread on the service section about buying referrals under his Gokano account for 0.002 BTC each and so some forum members signed up under him including me and he promised to pay and he did pay only to the first few members signing up under him and for some of us , there was the problem of Malleability attack going on so the amount he sent got labeled doubled spend on the blockchain so as result I pm'ed him as said : The transaction just got double spend as you may see in the picture: ( You should ask the blockchain support as lately many double spend transactions happening since last night )

his answer to that pm of me is the one on Oct,5 and until now nothing has happened

His two last posts on the thread:

However has been 4 days from then and still no sign of any payment

2) The user on Oct,9 Bid 0.11BTC using on of his alts to buy a Senior member account on Auction section : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1203174.msg12642318#msg12642318

5) Credits to Sharma for noticing first:
6) In the 2nd screenshot I posted , you could see on one of his replies that his asking for a feedback
7) If anyone could give his four accounts a lesson it would be very helpful as clearly his a scammer and it would be better to not do any business with any of his accounts


Updates:

Update 1: Found another two of his alt accounts:  wayayo and Shield
Update 2: Shield is Pending to be removed as the text was miss-red but due to some feedbacks associating it to the list, I'm waiting for some proofs
Update 3: Shield is not an alt of the associated accounts , apology on my behalf for mistakenly put your name on this thread and sorry for shorena that I provided wrong info here
Update 4: User has now payed all the remaining payments with another address of him: https://blockchain.info/address/16fYvWaM7USgE1pHKqdK5t9CZXCiRoiic6

So he tried to pay you but the TX was double spent because of a malleability issue? Have you tried following up with him about this? It is possible that he does not fully understand that you did not receive the transaction.

I agree, admin could be new, or not understand the issue you are having. I wouldn't rush to report.

yes actually he did understand well about it and posted in the thread explaining a bit and promised to pay on Oct,9th but didn't and surprisingly he used another of his alt accounts on Oct,9th to buy a senior member account for 0.11 BTC meaning he had somewhere the funds since he bid in auction and won the auction as well ... I gave him enough time before reporting him as I though he will pay but until now many users haven't got any payments from him

Here are list of the other alts of escrowboy
 wayayo  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=480969)
 shield (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=393981)

Edit: The names are already mentuoned LOL.

The guy was a pain. He's stubborn and I think behind those accounts is a teenage boy looking for easy money online.

Just in case -> https://archive.is/kmxiX

so...I signed up on Gokano for the same guy who left negative trusts on my accounts (Shield).  >:( >:(
@op thanks for creating this thread. I was wondering who SHield is and whether he has an account with DT here.

What the hell is this?
why my username is added to this list?

Lol
I wonder who added you to DT?
you can't even read the english properly, read the post again that you archived

BadBear did.

I like how you keep calm and all that. You are correct I (and several others here) missread the post. Your feedback will be removed when I have time to do so.

If I do something against forum rules I deserve negative feedback I will accept this happily but I don't like called scammer because I am not one

I am just helping the community to findout the possible scams and save money of legit user
I have started thread about this so I can find possible scammers,check my signature

First of all Thank you shorena for quick acting for this matter


Probably missed it by fractions of seconds on the update :)


your welcome ... Probably yes base on some evidence which i'm still checking in order to be sure since Shield contacted me on pm



based on some evidence found and I will be contacting those who left feedback on associated accounts telling that your also an alt of those mentioned accounts and if on your part you have something to prove that your not an alt of those accounts, i'll be more than happy to re-edit the thread and remove your name on the list but for now these are some evidence:

Trust feedback of Shield:

Lol   :P

don't you notice all those feebacks were given by same user jaycee using his alt scumbug

If I give you feedback that you are alt of a big scammer then you will?  ;D
read the proofs he given in comments for negative feedback on trust page  :o

use common sense friend  ;)

The trust system is not about the forums rules, doing what you do (I know your threa btw) I think you know that.

@SFR10 read the "proof" for Shield again. The brackets make it somewhat easy to miss. I will quote it slightly modified with my own additions in [] below to make it clear.


I removed my rating towards Shield respectively and will leave a neutral rating to explain the situation.

thanks shorena

hello, escrowboy don't bought the account...
it was sold to another user
My Account is available to any Escrow for check the Pms

Hey guys

The main account of this guy is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=520680     lastuser

he bought the hardtime account from me when it was potential full member account also i didn't get paid from btcbounty i will send shorena a pm and will ask him to left a negative feedback to his account .

regards

Edit : i am pm's save when he bought the account if its need to posted here let me know !

great work
post some proofs so we can confirm this

Dude kindly get rid of lastuser's name here cuz it has a new owner as I sold it days ago. Yes, I am lastuser and I am the one who bought hardtime from you :) The said accounts were already sold and in control by two completely different user respectively (hardtime was sold to a scammer(now) and lastuser was sold to a reputable hero  member). I don't wanna let that reputable hero member be involved on this :)

when you sold this
post some proofs

What account are you referring? The lastuser one or the hardtime one? Or both? I will be posting proofs here as long as its needed, let me know what account it is.

I see that the password for hardtime was changed twice late Sept[1], if you can provide proof that the accounts had been sold on Oct 3th (or earlier) I am willing to remove the ratings.

[1] https://archive.is/mAR4S

Both,
provide proofs like who bought them , who was escrow, payment amount, tx ID for payment etc

Actually it was sold earlier, give me a minute to look up those proofs including the PMs and the transaction id ofthe payment

he says that account was sold on 13 October, the same day user started scam accusation but when I asked him for proofs he say he can't give those details

if he don't provide proofs then I doubt the account is still controlled by him and he is lying, account was not sold just changed the password

here is his PM

Here's the tx id of his payment  https://blockchain.info/tx/601ff7e1bad0847f78555c03db5e060436d5039a4c1ad4d4756ff9a872cebcc9

@shorena: regarding to lastuser, I am willing to send our conversation with the buyer as you are reputable enough to hold confidential details, just let me know

Just shut up scam buster wannabe, you'll definitely eat your words after I cleared this up. ::) Anyways I don't have more time arguing with   you.

Here are some alts of Laosai

Someone dodged a bullet there, will remove the rating. see edit below.

If you get permission to share what you have regarding lastuser, let me know.


Is that relevant here? If not please dont make this more complicated than it needs to be.

Edit: Just a second... if hardtime was sold why did I get the following PMs?

I got same PMs from Hardtime and escrowboy

Kindly check your PM shorena , I already sent the details and please keep it private as possible as I don't want the buyer to be involved on this :)

yes it is
he had many alts and he may list any of his alt as buyer for the account lastuser
So he should share the name of person who bought the account lastuser so we can check if he is his own alt or different user

Yes, Im checking back with the other person.


I will see if they are willing to share that, I dont think it will be an issue.

I asked him to share the name of buyer and said that i will not share name in public if he is not related to scam
but he is afraid to share the name because i know his many alts

I think I was not clear enough. I got the name of the buyer and contacted them to verify the information Laosai gave me. Once thats done I will ask them to state they bought the account here. Considering who the buyer is, I dont think this will be a problem.

yes
its not a problem sharing the name of buyer, forum allow having multiple accounts
but its an open scam accusation so we must know name of the buyer, payment amount and tx to confirm this account was sold

ask the laosai for payment amount and tx id of the payment for account lastuser sell, just name of the buyer is not enough

I'm afraid to share the name of the buyer not because of my alts, its because I care about the privacy of the buyer since we had a deal privately. That's why I told you to wait and I will ask a permission to the buyer if I can disclose his identity as the buyer. Good thing shorena was here to help, thanks man!

still other questions are unanswered
deal amount and payment tx id

FYI I already gave shorena such details, No need to worrry :) Let's just wait the judgement of shorena after he contacted the buyer

Sure its a problem. If someone asks me to keep something private, I keep it private.

I am the one who bought the account "lastuser" on 13 October 2015, 9.44pm GMT+8. I have selected BIN after looking in laosai's auction.

Auction: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1206848.0

Really i don't know, what's the problem with btcbounty (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=541941) as per shorena's request on PM, i'm posting the proof of payment got from this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1199495.0) here https://blockchain.info/tx/277e33cfe5fdd23a21ec8e458a178ed9ba66903cfeeb15e9967e28bedbf3700c

Hmm,I also got paid .... what's wrong? https://blockchain.info/tx/a536574995711826291be434e2bababec134ec3ba99dca790aabe49eb4f40dff

Thanks for the confirmation.

The thread was created because not all participating have recieved their payment yet.

2/20 confirmed, according to my list.

I also got shorena PM, i am feeling really bad that btcbounty is still not paying us. Maybe within few days he will clear the payments?

I hope so, but I dont know. For now I made a spreadsheet to keep track of things -> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WwHFi086-iRlgr-8xK6VI90d5nKCcfQ2oHn9QmYu2aw/edit?usp=sharing

Received a payment of 0.002 don't know if it sent btcbounty, what about others?

Also received the payment as you could see here: https://blockchain.info/tx/133ef8982ed479e1ccacfd0a56ef94b7ceb792fcca5863eeb3c32b9d9241712f

Same for me , he used another address for sending this time

To the best of my knowledge everyone was paid. TX IDs can be found here -> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WwHFi086-iRlgr-8xK6VI90d5nKCcfQ2oHn9QmYu2aw/edit?usp=sharing

All TX are confirmed, some recipients did not answer, but I would still think its settled.
