Title: FifaCoinsSupplier IS A SCAMMER! BEWARE!
Post by: sciencefreaak on March 15, 2016, 05:01:44 PM
Partly my fault, but he has also gotten negative feedback on his profile.

What happened:Sent 60$ for a 100$ Amazon Gift Card. After sending the money, he stopped replying me on skype.

Scammers Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=404927

Reference Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1397800
Amount Scammed: 60$
Payment Method: BTC
Proof of Payment:https://blockchain.info/tx/c2849f7bc6ab18a957bcb13c5bc693c5e567bb367c464a78572734bb595cbb92
PM/Chat Logs: Attached Below
Additional Notes: His Skype ID : enraged.hf


I managed to get his IP using skype resolver

76.246.8.156:33975

It seems legit since before dealing, he scheduled the timing based on PST.

Edit : Also, you can see that the wallet address he gave me in PM matches the one he gave me on Skype.

He's now even replying to his thread saying that he never scammed anyone. -.-

Absolutely disgusting.

I thought account scammed means victim, i.e - my account in this case?

Oh wow. So he's just using an alt.

Can't mods shut him down or ban him?

No. Scamming is not a bannable offense here.

"Amount Scammed:

Amount scammed, not account scammed, hence the amount of money the user scammed from you.
In your case that would be $60 or the btc equivalent (0.1445778) you sent them.



Can you post a screenshot/quote from the PM they've sent you including the skype name?
Can you post a screenshot of the skype profile?

You just answered your own question, didn't you? They're like cockroaches.

Post some proof of how you got in touch with that skype user. Did FifaCoinsSupplier send you a PM with the Skype name? Post a screenshot.

WTF? Admins in this forum need to review their rules and regulations then. How can we let them roam around? Especially when the people they scam aren't high level members, thus you own't see their real trust rating straight away!

That's about enough, tagged the account aswell.

With "high level members" you mean defaulttrust users (those whos feedbacks are considered "trusted"), right?
Well, before doing a trade, you should aswell check the untrusted feedbacks, and their references.
Also, if someone "untrusted" got scammed, they can open a scam accusation (just as you did) and get a rating from a defaulttrust user that way.

Yeah. I meant default trust users. Okay. Sure thing. Thanks!
