Title: Warning User Lieutenant Dan Scammer
Post by: pbflash on April 15, 2013, 12:43:08 PM
I can't post this anywhere else so I am posting it here.

User Lieutenant Dan took my MoneyPak, confirmed he received the money, and never sent my coins. I've sent him numerous PM's and have not received a reply.

I heard from one of his other customers and he did send them their coins. I still have not heard from him about mine.

Did you trade with escrow?

No which I know was very stupid of me. After seeing a confirmation from someone else that they received their coins, I figured he was safe to deal with. I know better now.

Got any proof you sent money?  Screenshots of PMs confirming deal/sending/etc.

Here's the last PM I received from him saying that he sent me the coins. He signed off as soon as he sent the message and I have not heard from him since. I've sent a few PMs saying that I haven't received the coins and sent him the link to this thread. I know he has been logged in a few times since I sent my messages. I can't see my sent PMs for some reason. I tried using the MoneyPak to transfer to Paypal and it said the code has a $0 balance.

What address did you tell him to send to?  Just want to double check things.

Since Dan isn't online to defend himself:
I asked him about this guy. He said this guy backed out when Dan tried to escrow the payment. Dan has agreed to escrow my pending payment. Will report back when successful.

I didn't back out. I sent him the MP number and he confirmed he received it and said he sent my coins.

Can a Mod tell me how I could view my sent PM's so I can post the entire conversation?

You can't unless you setup archiving.  See my stickied post in the newbie section.  Can you still redeem the MP code?  I talked to him and he said after he told you to escrow with John K you stopped responding.

Can you post a screen shot proving that he said he sent the coins?  Make sure to redact the MP code if it's showing.

Here are the PM's I can see in my inbox.

After I saw a post from someone else confirming they received their coins I decided to just send him the MP code and my wallet address. After that I received the following.

After I didn't receive anything in my wallet and no replies to PMs I tried to use the MP to deposit to my Paypal account and it said the code has a $0 balance.

Alright, I'll accept that as proof of dispute. I'll hold off my transaction until yours is mediated by an objective party.

Still nothing from Dan.

Mods - can this be moved to the scammer forum?

I'll move it over there.  You should have the option to move your own threads as well.  I've heard a little from him and sent another PM, waiting to hear back on that one.

Dude waited a year to scam $100? That's gotta be the biggest waste of an account ever.

Not sure what you're talking about, but check out his profile (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=96146).  He's been registered for 1 week now.

EDIT:
I sent him one last PM, if I don't hear back by the next time I see him online I'll look into getting him tagged as a scammer.

Woops, I was looking at the OP's profile instead. My bad.

At this point it appears that Dan had a few successful transactions and kept the rest without paying once some trust was established. pbflash has presented some compelling evidence in this regard, and I'd like to apologize for doubting him.

The email address he gave for paypal is klymeso@gmail.com  Paypal has it as Allen Sweat.

Also got scammed here.  The Username was Blitzing and the same email address klymeso@gmail.com, oxylocus@gmail.com, and mawswc@gmail.com.  He goes by Allen Sweat and David Briggs.

I would love for me to be wrong but I doubt it.

Appears to be scamming poker sites too by pretending to be people of a similar name as established posters.

Quote from: Some Poker Guy At Another Forum
WATCH OUT.....WAS JUST INFORMED BY *SEEKER*

Someone is posing as me, he received an email from someone that has similar email and 2+2 name acting like me....I WILL NEVER EMAIL FOR A TRADE....below are the details he provided to me

"Klymeso@gmail.com 2p2 name Clemson FTW. Obvious scammer, emailing me"

THAT IS NOT ME

I bet these scammers have many, many handles and the reason why so many attempts are similar is that they are often the same person.

The only thing to do is to not trust anyone and insist on using escrow.
