Hi BitCorner please follow the scam accusation format so its much better to understand your problem. Just edit your first post.
Regards.

He felt bad and gave me the btc back, and i was able to get another .012 from this scammer. Anyone else who was scammed by this guy post proof, and i will give the additional btc he scammed that i was able to recover from this scammer.

Are you sure you were contacted with the "real" bryant.coleman? Someone could be pretending to be him.
The address which you sent to him (1HqyAU2ZPvtHFmwGRbvXKNu5acdzEkv2AV) as your proof doesn't match with his both addresses on his profile 1FRzKvLYpMjovJ7fqTYdLa8CvZ9fpSzxmU and  3Fj6ZXmFaa3HWk6LwbB5TFKKntCrPNhUUe

Hello all,

I am the scammer who compromised bryant.coleman's account and scammed BitCorner.

After scamming I just could not bear the thought of scamming someone just like that. I decided to pay BitCorner. back and I did so in full. You can see the transactions here: https://blockchain.info/address/13WZYWZpP8RNV14tbroejPNeNB9PaPrcit

I felt an immense guiltiness and decided to pay him back.

I got bryant.coleman's account from an account seller who had been selling hacked accounts. I decided to buy one because i got scammed a lot on the currency exchange boards and thought i could do it myself.

After building trust with two transactions with BitCorner. I decided to scam for 0.11 BTC.

Greed sometimes overtakes everything.

After I successfully got the btc in my wallet I felt sick. I felt like a low life scumbag for doing what I did. But I needed money to pay for rent, debts etc.

So a few hours later after careful thinking I decided that it would be best to pay Bitcorner. back. When I did pay him back he seemed grateful that I did what I did, and I felt happy.

We were discussing how gambling can literally kill you when he sent me a [Suspicious link removed] link to betcoin.ag. I clinked on it and didn't think much about it.

Then he started blackmailing me to release my IP address publicly(which is 124.169.119.66 actually, i thought that i was on my mobile data at the time but i was actually connected to library wifi because once i left the library i searched up my ip address and it popped up with a different one), and demanding payments so that he will not "subponea" my IP address.

All the while I still felt bad about what i did and i decided to pay some btc to him, partly because he said he lost a lot of time and stressed out over our deal, partly because i thought that i was on my mobile data and was scared that he would actually do something to me even though I have paid him back in full already and apologised and he seemed to accept my apology at the start.

He agreed that he will not pursue me any further and forgive me completely after I send the payment of $19.55 in Advcash, which is exchanged into btc.

After I sent, he then said I had one week time to pay him a further $100 in a week's time, otherwise he'll release my IP address in public(again, i'll release "my" own ip address which actually belongs to the library, 124.169.119.66).

I guess it's karma. I try to scam someone and the person i tried to scam blackmails me for return.

My question is is this sort of behaviour morally acceptable? I 100% think that my scamming behaviour and although I returned the full amount was still completely unacceptable, but is blackmailing someone like me acceptable?

These are logs of our conversation and him blackmailing me: http://imgur.com/a/8QfKk

Bryant.coleman, your password remains unchanged, i'm so sorry of what i'm done. I really hate myself for ever thinking of scamming someone in this way. Please accept my sincere apologies and please PM me an address so I can tip you some BTC. I know you'll probably never fully forgive me, but i've learned a lesson.

I will never attempt to ever scam again. It's disgraceful and it's a disgusting feeling. I ended up around $50 in the negative because of attempting to scam.

For those wannabe scammers: Don't do it. You'll regret it.

I guess it's become very cliche now but for the final time, i'm sorry to everyone. Even Bitcorner. for attempting to scam, even though what happened afterwards wasnt great.

EDIT: Oh and Bitcorner. you're welcome to try to contact iiNet and say that i scammed etc. but in reality i have paid you back and you have said that you forgave me but you kept on asking for more.

I have also never actually used iiNet as an ISP nor as my mobile service provider, i'm guessing the library uses it. And before you ask why i'm at the library, i didn't pay the internet bills for 4 months now and and they disconnected me  :'(

I have tagged the account that was used to scam. I am not interested in this "hacked account / hacker" story. This seems a very common occurrence nowadays and it's not possibly to prove that you were actually hacked/that it was not the original owner. If he/she pays back the scammed amount, then the negative can be changed to neutral.

This should definitely be done to clarify the scam to outside observers.

I know you're not interested nor am I going to force you to do anything but Bryant.coleman has done nothing wrong.

But main point here is that me as the scammer have paid him back everything he sent me plus more and he's still blackmailing me for something that I don't really care about since I've already exposed the IP address in question for all to see in public.

Really the thing that pisses me off the most is that I had the courage to pay him back, and it's rare for any scammer especially in the crypto world to do so and apologize to him. But he decides to blackmail me? Like I don't even care whether he releases the IP address or not, it just seems like a dick move.

I'm not saying that what I did was right though, scamming is by all means wrong, even if you return the funds.

Can't really be proven.

Oh wait a minute, so you have paid back what you stole? Can you provide proof of this?

OP is full of bullshit. Not only does theymos actively fight subpoenas, this trivial amount is not worthy of a subpoena.

---

The negative rating is valid on the account until original owner signs a message with an old bitcoin address.

Here it is: https://blockchain.info/address/13WZYWZpP8RNV14tbroejPNeNB9PaPrcit you can see two transactions totalling .117 btc which was what I scammed.

As I said I felt immense dissatisfaction with what I've done even though that $250 meant a lot to me.

http://imgur.com/a/8QfKk you can also see in the first picture him saying I'm glad you ended up giving it back.

And I'm not that worried about subpoena because I've paid it back, he's agreed to forgive and not pursue me, the IP address does not belong to me and also hell probably be arrested of blackmail....

But again huge dick move.

Okay this seems like adequate evidence that you've paid back the amount. Unless the OP objects somehow, I'm going to edit my negative rating as the scammed amount has been paid back.

If the OP is indeed trying to blackmail you now for more money and whatnot, then he also deserve a negative rating. I'd even boldly state that OPs behavior is worse than yours considering that you've *come to a realization* that what you did was wrong (hopefully).

Nobody has posted the link to the user in question:
bryant.coleman (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=75724)

I just got scammed by this guy too, I sent 0.05 btc to him in exchange for $115 PayPal but he did not pay me anything. If you're the scammer and reading this, please PM me and we'll sort things out

Op is a blackmailer , while reading the conversations(http://imgur.com/a/8QfKk), i figured out that Imsorryall is a student and Op is trying to mint money out of his mistake. In this case i feel that OP deserves the negative ratings.

Somehow I have missed that link while scraping through the important bits of information in this thread. You are indeed right, as can be shown by this particular snippet:

OP is full of bullshit. Not only is this criminal, he has indirectly admitted to blackmailing said user. I have neg. rated him as well.

Oh the irony of this post

Hoping to get another DT account that you can sell to a scammer, are we? ::)

Yeah, all the subpoena stuff was BS i was just trying to scare him, and i got another .012btc out of him. If we can find the real bryant.coleman who owns the account I would be happy to give it to him, to help with the fact someone hacked his account.

Lol, this guy hacked an account and scammed my and one other guy, I was trying to get all the scammed btc i could from this guy, and to the other user who claims they were scammed, show proof and I will send you .01 i was able to recover from this scammer.

Seems odd someone would have the audacity to do anything but congratulate me for getting btc from a dude that brings doubt to the site by hacking its most trusted members. ( I got him to send proof of him buying account to hopefully bring down the seller: what ive found so far http://imgur.com/a/MUkIK) Immediately after I got the BTC from the (self acclaimed) "scammer-scumbag" I made posts requesting anyone else who got scammed by this low-life to post proof and I would send them the btc i was able to get from this guy. Since the btc he had was all scammed. I also find it funny someone admitted to hacking accounts, scamming people on your website, and lying about identity and you didn't leave him a negative feedback XD I'm not sure if you just want to feel better about yourself by undermining what I did to help out the community or what? And clearly all that talk about subpoenas and IPs was BS the dude doesn't even live in america, I was trying to scare him out of all the btc he has scammed to give back to the victims, he claimed he already lost $150 of it gambling so I was trying to act fast.

@james I'm extremely sorry. I sent you the scamming PM before I attempted to scam bitcorner and I think you sent the BTC after the scam accusation was opened. The wallet is a separate block chain.Info wallet so I don't get any notification for incoming transactions. Let me know your address and I'll refund you in full plus transaction fees.
 

You are full of shit. Talking BS doesn't mean you're blackmailing. In fact, basically most to all blackmailers talk BS. Also don't act like you blackmailed for charity or to repay other people - I didn't even know that the other victim had sent the funds because I thought he would have seen this scam accusation and stopped. So if I didn't know how could you have known? Show me chat logs please.

I sent first 3 times in a row, I had no intentions of scamming, after I had learned you are a scammer I tried everything I could to get the btc back for people. I knew how devastating it is to lose a large amount of btc first hand. This was a premeditated scam where you said you wanted to gain my trust first before scamming me for a lot. You knew exactly what you were doing. And trying to get all the scammed btc from you that I could was the right thing to do. It would be immoral for me to let you walk away with all the btc you had scammed. That being said I don't know what you are still doing on this forum, you have done your damage scamming $360 (that we know of) and seriously damaging someones rep. and account they have had for 5 years. If anything I wish I had tried harder to get more bitcoin from you so that I can reimburse Bryant.coleman for the damage you have done to his name.

You didn't answer my question. How were you planning on using the blackmailed btc for repaying other victims when at the time I didn't even know there were other victims and going through our chat certainly doesn't show anywhere where I said I scammed other people?

Trust me it was way easier to just scam you instead of having the guts to actually pay you back and take fuol responsibility and tell the whole story to you. You decided to take advantage though.

Anyways all this still won't mean I'm not wrong. I still am wrong. And as I said time and time again I made a mistake, I regret doing it and never will do it again.

I won't be replying because it's really not worth your time arguing with a blackmailer who claims that he is a good Samaritan.

James just PM me your btc address so I can repay you.

You had said you lost $150 gambling, and you had said you felt bad about scamming, so obviously you scammed for that $150 lol. I don't know why you are trying to defend yourself, you hacked a mans account to take advantage of other people. Gtfo

So would you kindly tell the community who the seller was? 

This is the problem with account sales; this is what they lead to.  This is more evidence of the claims I've been making for the past year on this forum, and don't listen to the weasily Quickseller and his ilk who will tell you that there's nothing wrong with it.  There's a lot wrong with it, and account sellers need to be tagged red 'til it hurts.

Can anyone tell me what is going on? I am the real Bryant Coleman, and I just noticed this thread. Lauda gave me negative rep, and it didn't came to my notice as well. Someone here claimed that he hacked in to my account. That is BS. I have checked my inbox/outbox, and there is no sign of anything wrong. No one made posts using my login.

Anyway.... I have changed my password. I have also signed a message using my BTC address.

OK... I found 3 messages in my outbox which were made by some hacker. So my account was hacked earlier.

Someone should have sent me a PM as soon as this thread was posted. I was completely unaware of it, although I noticed strange messages from the user BitCorner. I thought that he was a scammer.

This hack couldn't come at a worse time. I had promised my housemaid that I will pay for her son's hospital expenses, and I was waiting for my signature earnings. Now my sig earnings are gone (BTC0.09) as my trust has turned red. I don't know how I am going to pay her.

Curious. How does this hacking a bitcointalk account even work? It's not like the passwords are stored in a hackable folder or page of this site. Compromising someone's account involves work along the lines of convincing a naive victim to reveal the password but that wouldn't be hacking per se.

It wasn't your fault that your trust turned red. Have you messaged Lauda with the signed message? If yes then they will remove the negative feedback as soon as they could(they seem to be online right now). You should talk to betcoin.ag because this is obviously not your fault imo and hopefully they'll feel the same way and still give you pay.

bryant, you're lucky though that the hacker repaid what he owed. Kudos to him for being a man and correcting his mistake, and hopefully he does not scam again. Otherwise you'll be an extra 0.1 BTC in debt.


I'm 99% sure that this account was hacked via the leaked forum database a while ago. Look at his UID, anything below UID 50000 you should ask a signed message before dealing with them.

So hacker got bryants account, sold it to a scammer but over the whole duration nobody changed the password?

/edit
He was posting as usual over the whole duration. Just look up his post history.
/edit end

Now bryant is sad because he didnt received his weekly sig spam money to pay hospital expenses?
Come on bryant you are a software developer living in singapur working for an insurance or not?


What is wrong here or do i just have an iq of 5? ::)

Someone please tell me what should I do. The old wallet I was using (1FRzKvLYpMjovJ7fqTYdLa8CvZ9fpSzxmU) is in Blockchian.info.

I tried to send signed message, but since I am not familiar with the process, it ended in failure.

I followed the steps here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1467458.0

And got something like this:

Your account was used by someone who was trying to scam on your behalf. I think laud will not remove the red feedback as it was the account that was involved in scamming though the scam was un-successful.
Maybe try PMing Lauda and he might think to change it to neutral.

I tried PMing him, but there is no response.

You did it correctly, Coinig shows it as verified:
 http://www.coinig.com/?adr=1FRzKvLYpMjovJ7fqTYdLa8CvZ9fpSzxmU&msg=I+am+Bryant+Coleman+from+Bitcointalk.+Please+remove+my+red+trust.+&sig=Gz7QkRNRlRadP3su%2FrnA6MUycELHJBKoyScOF3ewJkByYP3WAfdX4%2FHxrB5RqEplOIs1bdKXyS%2BL5tOAW%2BNedgM%3D


The scam was successful but apparently the hacker regretted it and decided to reimburse the victims fully.


Lauda said this so, Bryant, you should be able to get the neg removed. Pretty sure Lauda is just afk or something like that.

Thank you so much for the post. I am nervous, because it is now a matter of life and death. I need the sig earnings for hospital expenses (not mine). Let me see if I can convince the sig campaign moderators.

He also posted yesterday that he has enough BTC to buy a new car or a small plot of land, and now he urgently needs a few bit cents to pay for 'hospital expenses'?

Anyone who's reliant on sig campaign earnings is nailing the coffin shut.  Sorry, I don't buy that story either and it sounds like a typical scam/begging attempt.   Keep that story to yourself,  no offense.

The thing that still boggles me is that why the hell did you leave your trust ratings unmoderated for the past week? the scam accusation was opened a week ago and you should have noticed while you logged in/posted posts. I believe you, personally, but it makes your story seem unlikely, especially with the life and death situation etc. Lauda i think will 100% remove the neg rating as the hacker paid back the victim, but as you said, it really depends on the sig campaign manager.

Also you should have never relied on the sig campaign earnings mate. Even though it wasn't your fault that your account got hacked and stuff, sig campaigns aren't designed as a stable income source.

There was no PM regarding the Scam accusation, and I never checks the outbox. At least there should have been a PM before someone gives a negative trust. Somehow I failed to notice what is going on.

I am having a full time job and a stable income, but right now I am going through some financial difficulties.

This got to be one of the worst excuses of all time. ::)

I am not on-call waiting for your PMs just so I can answer you.

The message has been verified. As no amount was scammed in the end, I have decided to change it into a neutral rating.

It might sound ridiculous. But if you want, I can send you the bank transfer proof and hospital bill. To be honest, there are other options as well. I can sell a part of my mutual fund holdings.


Sorry for everything. I just got nervous.

The user who is posting from this account now really doesn't seem like the original to me. The original bryant coleman used to spend the vast majority of his time in Politics & Society and now the account is just churning out generic two line shitposts.
