DO NOT BUY FROM makaveli82 >> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1602325
 
I bought several of these codes through aiobuy.net and they didn't work.  I PM'd him asking for replacements and his reply was this


He has locked the thread so that you can't write negative comments.  Read his trust feedback, he is doing this over and over

Same for me! i got not Answer at all. Stay away!

I have looked at his thread, and aiobuy.net, and i can confirm that his disclaimer isn't shown on any of those pages as for now... I personally don't think he should be able to throw a "secret" disclaimer in your face when you ask for a replacement.

I can second this. This scamming kid first tried to trash my thread where I was selling Barracuda codes (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1587916.0), then he opened a new topic where he pretended to sell Barracuda for $2 and later on he changed it to $6.

While the Barracuda codes do exist and are real (I have sold quite a few of those and haven't got one single complaint) this little scammer seems to be selling just random strings of 14-15 characters beginning with "PC". Maybe he sold some genuine codes at first but that seems to be long over, now he is just ordinarily stealing money from people.

If anyone could be bothered enough you could open a topic in the Scam Accusations (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0) and request his account to be banned. You can also report his OP to moderator.

Thanks guys, as a hero member here I have been around a while, and have so far bitten my tongue on public scam accusations.  But I'm tired of the sheer number of scammers at the moment.  I'm usually quite careful with new accounts, but often too trusting, and have therefore been scammed several times recently.  /rantover

Thank you. I was about to buy a code from him today. If I didn't see your thread, I would've been scammed by him, too.

I'd recommend you to open a thread in the scam accusation section or let a moderator move this thread to there.

How the hell can you have a disclaimer saying some codes might not work no refund ? ?

Thats hilarious . FFS we could then make up codes and sell them with the same disclaimer .

This site is dying because of these kids .

Same with me. already bought 1 codes and it's not working. Sent pm to that user but no reply. Beware he is big scammer!

I'm sorry for your loss but unfortunately, scams aren't moderated so you won't see the account banned anytime soon. Hopefully DT members will negative rep the scammer so that he can't scam any more bitcoins from his customers.

Please guys give him negative feedback to let others know that he is a scammer

i did, it right now.

Ok first of all, you could've asked me and I couldve given you a "business email" from my mail domain.

Secondly, there was a seller selling these for $2.

Thirdly, these codes are being sold for free.

He is the same scammer he just make the price $6

"Sold for free" is a logical nonsense, "given away for free" is probably what you meant.

But you are wrong, Barracuda stopped giving away their codes several weeks ago due to heavy abuse by PauloLauro, nobody can get this code anymore.
