Did he get you BCB? He has been on bitcoin friends scammer list for months. My wife Amber sent messages to all his family and friends calling him out on being a piece of shit. We where thinking of running an ad in his local paper too. That guy sucks.

No idea.  The scammer is located in  Chester-Le-street, Durham, Great Britain

He hit me too, I'm still not sure why I strung together quite so many stupid mistakes, but if you have not heard it before gift-mode paypal is risky and should not be used, here is some additional info that I may be following up on:

He (or someone close to him) are currently operating under the name "Bitcoin Sales" on facebook and he is claiming he never received my money.

Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/roomywebs.hosting
Paypal Alias 1 - Darren Burns (locked account, reversed the charges): 0708714Darren@gmail.com
Paypal Alias 2 - Daniel Allan (claims it's locked and he reversed it, I suspect he has withdrawn it, or is just incompetent): dannyallan94@live.com

I'm considering next steps, although if he is willing to split the damage or make it up in volume he can still make it right, but at this point I really doubt he is interested.

So let's stop it...

Everyone else who got hit please file a report here: http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/

Mine is in, and I'll be following up with the Durham Police later this week. If you have or find any additional information be sure to add it to the thread.

Thanks for posting this. If enough people take this serious, it could prevent future scams. As someone said in the united kingdom cyber laws are very strict. So hopefully people who are going to scam will think twice.

I'm assuming international laws are also strict, However I would not know because I'm based in the united kingdom.

@ BCB I really hate this guy we have sent countless messages all over durham about this guy being a scammer. This guy is a real piece of shit. Me and my wife decided this morning that we would like to do something about him. What we where thinking is taking out a full page ad in his local paper we are willing to throw some money into making that happen would you be interested in contributing to the cost of posting the ad?

don't trade with anyone not authenticated, and who doesn't have a long, positive history

Problem is, Being in the U.K. Farting in someones direction is an arrestable offense, Posting a full page add warning about someones scamming attempts/succeeds Will (IMO) not be allowed, There are two ways to deal with people like this, Either send the heavy's round or take him to court,  First one will get you nothing but satisfaction, Second will cost you alot and he will be avoided but not cost him anything.

Please also open a complaint at the link in my post above.

Unless multiple folks are complaining he is such low priority that I doubt they will ever get around to doing anything.

I have yet to get a satisfactory response, but they claim that the investigation is "open"

I can't add this latest information to my case except as hearsay, it means nothing in that context. If you report it yourself it can be taken as evidence and used against him, so please take action to defend yourself and others!

Dear Everyone,
I think this is my first post and it is a bad one. I was scammed for $1363 through paypal. It is in the resolution center. I bought 3 bitcoins and paid scott harding through paypal and did not receive the coins. I emailed his webhost and they graciously took down the website. It is suspended. I hope that provided more evidence to paypal to get my money back. I also filed a police report in the UK. I am from the United States.
My UK police report is complete on scott harding bitcoin-sales.net scammer  ref CRN: NFRC140400587006

Sincerely,
Rocket

why you send coin if he not send items to user ?
You are escrow agent ? Sound waste of time if you release fund without user receive item ? what point of escrow?

Man in the middle attack.  He took orders from Legit buyers.  Came to me for coin.  Gave me his bitcoin address.  Legit buyers sent me funds.  I sent him coin.

How is it possible that he scams through Paypal?
Is he using his own Paypal account?

I mean when you charge back, you just get your money back after a certain amount of time, right?

Edit: He asks to send it as a gift so you can't charge back, missed that.

Man in the middle attack.

He finds some one with payapl who want Bitcoin.

Then goes on IRC and finds another person with bitcoin who takes paypal.

He negotiates the deal then get a btc address from the buyer.

Then He gets a paypal address from the seller.

Then he sends the buyer the seller's paypal address.

Then he sends the seller HIS bitcoin address.

Seller sends bitcoin to Bitscotty.
Buyer sends Paypal to seller.
When buyer does not receive btc he charges back.

Buyer gets his money back.

Seller is out of bitcoin.

And bitscotty drifts off into the night to come back under a different nick.

Always communicate via the paypal address to confirm a paypal trade.  

You'll be surprised of the response you'll get - "Who are you!?"

Rarely has the attacker compromised both the email account and the paypal account.

I have also been fooled to pay this person with Skrill for 1BTC. I have reported to Swedish police and with http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/ (http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/). Also I have reported this scam to Skrill. This person can still be contacted with Skype name skizza10. He sent me screenshot claiming he had already transferred the bitcoin to me... The picture actually helped me to locate the real transaction he made that was not to my address of course...
http://www.tp-server.se/scam.jpg
https://blockchain.info/sv/tx/1e7e995ff6e063780007bf2f4848a11b22f6c0c966cdfad54113e1a53439239e (https://blockchain.info/sv/tx/1e7e995ff6e063780007bf2f4848a11b22f6c0c966cdfad54113e1a53439239e)
If that is his actual transfer then he owns the bitcoin wallet with ID: 1BCo5UM6NT5soEEi52wFmJ9DNyWY3ar9Co
Anyone who has transferred any bitcoins to his wallet (https://blockchain.info/sv/address/1BCo5UM6NT5soEEi52wFmJ9DNyWY3ar9Co (https://blockchain.info/sv/address/1BCo5UM6NT5soEEi52wFmJ9DNyWY3ar9Co))?
And if the picture is actually from hit telephone it is reasonable to believe he is from UK and using the operator EE (http://ee.co.uk/ (http://ee.co.uk/))

This user can be found in various places...

Scott Harding is using a new Skype account: scotty15y_1
But his old account is also still active: skizza10

Scott's changed his tactics.
He now frequents #localbitcoins-chat as he's constantly banned from -otc, -otc-uk, -otc-eu. The LocalBitcoins people have given Anduck and I ops in that room as well, so we can ban him there.

I am aware that there is apparently a warrant out for his arrest as well, so the more people that file complaints with Action Fraud UK, the faster we see him off the streets.

He is also using Skype to fool people into buying bitcoins from him.
With the skype accounts scotty15y_1 and skizza10 he tries to fool people into paying him money with PayPal or other ways...
