Title: Coinabul Scammed me out of .21 BTC on Reddit?
Post by: acs26 on April 25, 2013, 09:39:43 PM
Well, one month ago a guy named 'Coinabul' scammed me out of .21BTC on reddit. At this time, .21BTC was probably $10. The deal was I give him three Minecraft accounts (migrated), and he give me .21. I was trying to make sure he wasn't a scammer by giving him one account and get .10BTC. Instead of paying me .10BTC, he said:

Please send me all the accounts.
I'm quite obviously not a scammer. http://coinabul.com does millions of dollars in BTC txns per year.
I'll send the .21btc on receipt of your next message.

Trusting him, and looking at Coinabul.com, I decide to give him the rest of the accounts.

It's been one month, and I haven't gotten my .21 or $10 yet. Will be adding pictures when I get home.

What do I do?
