What happened::
I post the topic want to buy aws ec2 account on bhw forum, his skype is: gregregervq (blackhatworld.com). He said he is the hero member in bitcointalk.com, also a member which has a good reputation on bhw. After I did a research, I trust him straight away because he owns the hero account on bitcointalk forum. After send him the payment, he tried to said with me he got a problem with teamviewer and gone. WATCH OUT FOR THIS GUY.

Additional Notes: I advise you to not deal with this user until this dispute is resolved.

Hello, no mod work for this case?

Mods will not get involved in helping to resolve scams, I am sorry to say. I have tagged the guy with a negative, hopefully this will get him to respond here and resolve this issue with you. If he follows through on the deal that was agreed, I will remove the tag.

Good luck.

So is it mean he will not be banned or warning by Admin or Mod right? So sad.

No but the tag from Zepher will be enough to warn people to not deal with him until the situation is resolved. Always try to deal with dark green trust members that have been helpful to the community for a long time. If the seller doesn't respond here I am afraid he will open another account to scam again so you have to be careful with whom you deal with especially in the goods or digital goods section.

Memlova seems to have sold his account, the new owner seems to be a good guy, even re paid me the btc memlova had scamed me a while back,

Which is completely irrelevant. If the account got sold, then the negative ratings should remain regardless of whether it was paid back or not. I have also left a rating, as I've previously missed this accusation.

What kind of nonsense if this reasoning?
If I am making up for acc previous holder by PAYING back the amount he scammed, I think this is quite valid reason to lift the neg trust.

Could you elaborate on the logic behind leaving neg trust for me?

I left neg trust for people to get their attention, since as THEY WERE requesting me to respond, which I did by sending them PMs.
And instead of replying to my PMs they ignored me, so I don't see any other way to get their attention.

Your negative trust means nothing to me,  so knock yourself out.

Buying accounts is, to me, untrustworthy behavior.   Hence, the neg I left you.  You apparently compounded this stupidity by paying off someone else's scam-debt.  That's on you.  If you had got to know the community around here before buying a high ranked account you would have realized all this was going to happen.

Thanks for posting here.
Apparently the community you are referring to consists of immoral people, where making things straight is considered a stupid behaviour?
In that case, thank you - I will skip and keep up with my "stupidity" where the reputation one has is the most important.

Think of it this way:  You are enabling people to get scammed by 1) buying accounts and 2) paying your money to people who got scammed.  Neither of those things is good, if that's what even happened.

Why does no one want to take the time to create an account and just post normally.   Why buy a high-ranked account?  Don't answer, I already know the answer.

Who are you to decide what is nonsense here and what isn't? A random newcomer? Please. Unless of course, you're an older member who has a certain reason to purchase another account. ::)

This alone, is adequate to warrant a negative rating in most cases. Considering the status of that account (hero member with 2 untrusted positive ratings), it is more than welcomed.

No. They requested that the previous account owner answered the accusation(s), and not you.

Making things "straight" would be the original account owner staying on the account or letting this account die with the rest of the prior scammers. IMO, buying another persons virtual identity is immoral, unethical, and leans towards nefarious behavior, especially on this forum.

There is also a strong level of stupidity shown here by buying a virtual identity that is already tainted and has a bad reputation so I will assume you are new at this... it is probably best for you to stay away from this type of activity and avoid this in the future. Most sold accounts are going to be hacked, stolen, or involved in scams that haven't yet surfaced. Those accounts will not get any leniency from most active DT members, for many legitimate reasons, so it's not worth it.

IF this is not a scam ICO, it will get support without needing bought accounts or bounty hunters.
