Bitcoin Forum

so recently i've stated been trying to figure out my PW on here... well this person named mchu168 told me to get on skype and wanted to know all my info including mesending my .wallet file, next thing I know all my funds are gone...

You learned a lesson what has been happened to you.never trust anybody when it comes to money. Money can do all things ,just like turning a good man into a bad one. Hope you get my what im saying.

LOL mate. Is this really true? I guess you just hand in over your bitcoin to the freaking guy. So he scammed you. Why did you do that? Do you know him personally that you trusted this fellow? I'm sorry, but this is really a hard way to learn how to protect your bitcoin. First, don't trust anyone, money is involved here so you know people will do everything to stole hard earn bitcoin. Again, I hope you learn your lessons very well.

so it's all in my PM log but he wouldnt talk through here or through email, demanded it MUST be through skype and came in with the pretense he wouldhelp me for a %of lost bitcoins

i removed my previous comment because it seems like i didn't understand what you meant at all, but going through your post history it seems like you had a topic here with a forgotten wallet password problem. correct?

and also is this the user you are talking about: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=154223

if yes then you should move the topic to scam accusation board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0
and provide the required information so that default trust members can tag him as a scammer ONLY if you can prove it.

sad to hear that buddy, by next time you need to be careful in all the people who you are talking with, next time dont give them your infos, be vigilant and wise,just report it to the admins to help you with your issue, to avoid that it might be happen again to another people the  suspect of yours need to be punished and been terminated to this forum.

There is nothing that people wouldn't do for money and that is to tru. Scams and frauds of all types are appearing every day and people are sow naive so fraudsters sometimes have realy easy job. Don't trust.people your don't know anything about and don't ever reveal your personal and financial data.

1) This thread needs to be in this section: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0.
2) You need to use the proper scam accusation format (edit your original post):

---

Your money is gone for good. Serves you right for giving your wallet file to some random scumbag on the internet. Do not deal with users that aren't trustworthy/don't have a verifiable trading history.

are you retarded? plenty of people I trust on this forum with BTC - some random stranger.. never - but some of the people here have integrity.

this has to be made up - no one could be into BTC and really be that stupid

I would suggest the OP to make a thread in scam accusations or move this one to that section and post the accusation in proper format as Sir. Lauda has explained. It will be a warning for all the other newbies as well as members who may get scammed by that person in the future.

thanks for the advice? moderators can i get some help?

I will say this ETC is the only wave of the future. It's systemic originality and robust active of the market (especially in the future through more well-run accurate exchanges) will beat out fiat currency any day. As far as I understand it (i know i'm a nub) crypocurrency is unique and the faith and value of such a product will never go away since it helps make function certain parts of the internet as opposed to a fiat or even gold/precious metal backed currency

and All i was trying to do is get some help... make $9 an hour doign clerical work as this is to me is no bubble.. the thing .1 is around 500 dollars now.. that's not chump change to me..i even remembered the pw right after and our pm log will confirm..anyways not to panhandle but any amount ($00.1 will be appreciated) I have a lot of bills and dont live on a lot

Wait, what? You never sent me a single bit of info. Why are you blaming this on me?

This is a joke.

Added me, and never sent me a single bit of information that could be used to steal his money. He never sent me a wallet file, any backups, or anything. This is ridiculous. If anyone believes this guy, I will honestly be in awe of stupidity. Why would I scam, when I was just trusted with 0.2 BTC in an exchange last night, and 0.5 BTC yesterday. Of course I paid up. You really think I stole your 0.1? This has got to be the worst assumption I've ever seen.

Post proof or this story is total bullshit.  Got it?  You can come in here slinging mud without facts.  I don't believe you and no one else should either without proof.

hilariousandco has left me negative trust over this, which is surprising. I would not have thought such a member would fall for this thread. A scam accusation does not make anyone a scammer, it is simply an accusation. And this is the dumbest accusation I've ever seen, which makes me wonder how someone could leave a negative trust over this. I did not steal anything, I am always an honest trader.

There's a strong possibility that your account is hacked or looks to be that way. You have no posts from November 04, 2015 until 2017. You could still very likely scam via Paypal as well. Can you provide any reasonable proof that this account belongs to you? Can you sign a message from an address associated with it?

This is no reason to leave a negative trust, I estimate around ~50% of active users cannot sign a message. This account has always been completely under my control. It's *possible* that I can chargeback the PayPal, that my account is hacked, or that I created Bitcoin. But a possibility, especially not a high possibility at all, is not any fair reason from my view.

I was sent the 0.2 Bitcoin first, without escrow. What kind of scammer would send the PayPal, when they have already received the BTC? I returned 0.5 BTC to a user after a trade failed to go through as well, and these amounts are among the smaller amounts I've been trusted with. If any action should be done, the poster of this thread should receive a tag for making such an unstrustworthy claim, which actually turned out to ruin my name....  :-\

Evading the question of whether you can sign a message doesn't help you, but I still say OP needs to post solid proof.   I agree with hilarious that it does seem suspicious and you could have hacked that account.   And you could be doing deals to lead up to a bigger scam.  So sign that message.

One that is wanting to scam more via the same methods or do a chargeback at a later date which you have plenty of time to initiate. You also only sent it after he opened a scam accusation against you. There's enough red flags here for me to warrant the negative feedback but I'll happily remove it if you can provide reasonable proof that this is your account, but it looks to me like it very likely isn't.

No, I did not send it because he opened a scam accusation. I was PM'ing him before that saying I was on my way home, but he opened one anyways. If you noticed, I didn't send it instantly after he opened the accusation either. Please do not be like the OP here and jump to crazy conclusions like these.

I am not a PayPal scammer, if I am, prove it? My account is not hacked, if it is, prove it? There are absolutely no red flags. You are jumping a long way into these conclusions. I can call a trusted exchanger such as "sardasa" a PayPal scammer because he is able to chargeback at a later date. I can call a random member "hacked" and leave him a negative trust until he signs a message. But is that what anyone in their right mind does? Absolutely not. It's completely unfair to call me any names without a single piece of evidence. I am honestly shocked to see a member like myself have orange trust, it really is shocking that someone so respectable would do such a thing.

I am almost 100% positive that this account is compromised. Unless proven otherwise, I will not be removing my rating (regardless of the validity of this accusation). Do not PM me again unless you have conclusive proof of being the same user as the one in 2014.

This is a complete joke.

I will be opening a thread shortly. How can you be almost 100% positive, with absolutely zero evidence?  ??? Lauda, corrupting the user-base like a poison, user by user.

You are playing on the presumption of innocence, but this isn't a court of law. In cases like these, the burden of proof is on the accused and not the accuser (although the opposing situation is also not uncommon). You can open countless threads, but that won't help you [1]. Without the proof that you're the original owner of this account, you are only going to dig your own hole.

---

[1] - There are over a dozen threads about me, and zero in which the accusers have made a valid case. Good luck. ::)

There's quite enough evidence against you to arouse suspicion. The fact that you haven't posted since 2015 and then come back trying to do trades straight away and can't prove the account is yours is good enough for the feedback as a warning. If you can prove otherwise then people will remove the feedback but it really doesn't look good for you.

You have an address posted here:


Can you sign a message from it?

That address is not a part of my wallet it must have been a single-off deposit address for a website

Sign that freaking message or another red tag from me.

Your red tag means nothing, you come on here every day to give red tags that do nothing. Wonder why you're trying to police the forum when you don't get paid, or even give insightful comments.
