You're a hero member.  You ought to know that you need to fill out a proper scam accusation report. And moderators don't do anything about people getting scammed. And you need to describe what happened.

It would be quicker trying to get your money back from faucets or signature campaign then waiting for any admin to help.
Posted in wrong format with no details at all, purchased account i think so

I think so too. Newbie knowledge + One liner posts + Bitmixer signature campaign. There's no detail at all about what happened when he was scammed.

Please post in the Scam Accusations (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0) board and use this format:
Code:
[b][color=black]What happened:: [/color][/b]

[b][color=black]Scammers Profile Link: [/color][/b]

Strange thing is the btc address on OP's profile has been used in this forum as far back as 2014 for the same account.

Looks like OP has owned this account since then or also purchase the address (private key) with the account.

If you can prove you are a real Hero member and not just some noob that bought the account for your signature spam campaign then I will help you.

Hello everyone, I was scammed, I want to get my money back and I want to know how admins can help me here.

I'm sorry mate, but you have to say goodbye most like to your bitcoins :( You should definitely always use escrow when dealing with people, especially people with ranks lower than you. Either ask to go last, or use escrow.

You should always create a scam accusation thread after you get scammed, so that the scammer can get the red feedback that it deserves and it warns people about it, so that he can't scam any further. Post it here and follow the format: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

And we have a place for scam accusation dont have any details how he scammed by someone..

This is a big problem with the bitcoin these days because he is so new in the world and he is getting much attention right now. There are allot of hackers who are interested in the coin right now because of the bad security. You cant do anything about it sorry.

Even a newbie wouldnt be this stupid.

There's a clearly marked board named "Scam Accusations", which you should know about.

Make this guy prove his identity by asking him to sign an address that he used a long time ago that isn't his primary one.

Take a look at this guy's post history.

This is the most obvious example of an account purchased for the single purpose of signature campaign spamming that I have ever seen.

I think it is not a bought account at all. I just checked his post history. Take a look at his posts from the beginning. It's all 1 to 2 liner posts. The consistency is fascinating. I think he's the real owner of the account. :D He's been here for a long time now so it's only natural for him to have a Hero rank but it's not like you'll automatically gain knowledge about this forum when you become a Hero member.

I see in responses of guys here that they only accuse me of buying account while they do not try to think about what they say and they do not prove what they claim. Dear Cyaren thanks a lot for helping me.

It is my account and no one else did not use it. Unfortunately I did not know about how to be scammed because they guy who scammed me was a silly guy since he could make the money that scammed me simply by posting in signature campaign. We did a deal at the first and in second time he scammed me for about 0.1 bitcoin and for sure I posted about it.

Nobody can help you even if they want to without the details of what happened.  Details. For example who exactly scammed you? How? How much? Etc.

No, this is not purchased account, the member is Zr which the link is here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=739420
I was asking him to provide some instagram followers and do some social networking services, for the first time at the first he did and then I paid him and for the second time I sent money at the first but he did not answer me and escaped. I think here shows the payment and I am going to report it on scam section too.

I have to say congratulations to you my genius friend. How simply accuse others without no reason, no proof, I asked here to some help because I did not know about this and all forum members are not supposed to know all things here.

I did not check that marked board which you mentioned. This forum have some very interesting members, I was scammed and now I have to answer them! You prove your identity too and so do I.

They're accusing you because you're a hero member who's acting like a total fucking idiot noob.  And it doesn't takea genius to figure that out.

I did lots of deals here and I did not think that a member who did one time  job, do scams for doing remaining of it. While he is active in signature campaigns and scamming makes their account useless.

Just for interested users, I posted it there https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1484882.msg14966039#msg14966039, I want to know if I can find additional information such as IPs, emails... from that user?

There is no need to answer every question separately, you can do it all in one post you know.
I can see why everyone here is calling you a signature spammer, Bitmixer pay per post don't they?

I have looked at your post history and btc addresses used and for what it's worth i do think that you are the original owner of this account.

If you're who you say to be then you should atleast "know" some things like for example you know we cant do much as bitcoins are irreversible. Also admin wont ban scammers. Only thing we can do is to leave a negative on the profile so that others wont deall with him. All in all, being a hero member, you should've been more vigilant and optd to use an escrow.
