Title: Re: Diary of a Bitcoinary Scammer Post by: BCB on February 13, 2013, 03:28:34 PM man in the middle attack
attacker (tyler kurtz) contract with a mark to sell btc for paypal. Attacker then contacts a btc seller Attacker gives mark btc seller's paypal email (or asks the btc seller to send 'invoice' to mark) Attacker give btc seller Attacker's bitcoin address. If it works: mark send paypal to btc seller btc seller sends attacker bitcoin mark can then charge back paypal and coins remain with attacker so if it works the btc seller is the victim In this case I contacted the mark and actuall sold him real btc then we fucked around a little with the attacker. |
