Title: User: caixa - says BTC not recieved after being sent, no new reponse for status
Post by: ta1 on March 21, 2016, 10:15:51 PM
What happened::
Made a deal for invites to 2 private torrent trackers via PM, user agreed and I sent BTC to address given in PM. Followed up the next day and user stated never received and that it "might be an issue with the wallet". Tried to follow up a day later and now no reply's via PM and original topics for selling the torrent invites are locked/deleted.

Additional Notes: Hasn't replied to more follow up PM's. I will be happy to remove this scam accusation if user follows through with original agreement or PM's me to return my BTC. If not resolved by tomorrow, I will leave negative trust/feedback on user profile. Time to ban this guy.

You should have used an escrow mate. It would have prevented all these issues. No idea why you would skip it unless maybe you find $90 to be a small amount. To some of these scammers who are from third world countries, its a huge amount and they dont mind ruining their account for it.

He sell btn invites, is impossible because btn have the invite system closed for over 6 months now, members who are on this tracker can confirm this.
