Title: The username 'loadbearing' is a scammer!!!
Post by: Mintyx on June 18, 2017, 06:21:28 AM
Urgently needed to exchange Neteller for BTC. I got load of offers but rejected all and decided to do a background check on this user 'loadbearing'... I didn't see any complaints on the page he created so I decided to send $110 neteller to him in exchange for Bitcoin...

He stopped communicating immediately he got the Neteller up till now.

Please dude is a child scammer. don't deal with him

Scammer profile : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=772006

Amount involved ; 110 Neteller

This forum doesn't support screenshot so I am not able to post screenshot of transactions here

I'm not sure why it is hidden on the trust page, but you should always view the "Untrusted feedback" on someones profile. This person in particular had a lot of low level negative reports and probably would have warned you off them.

That's another utterly stupid feature of this forum, but OP's "background check" really should have been more extensive.   Somebody needs to dox this motherfucker, because he obviously will do it again.  Theymos apparently likes scammers, and so there's no ban forthcoming.

lol it literally says "Click Here to See Untrusted Feedback",forum can't help it if people are too lazy to do some R&D before trading with random strangers.

That's bullshit..You think banning would help ? FYI,with a free list of VPNs and proxies available,they easily come back with new accounts.Also,scamming isn't against the forum's rules,being stupid is.

It helps on every other forum I've been on.  There used to be a "scammer tag" used here, but instead of banning or labelling scammers,  this forum adopted this stupid-ass trust system which so many scammers have used to their advantage it's unbelievable.  And now this guy didn't even see the other guy's obvious scammer feedback.  You people who think this system is the best we can do are living with blinders on.

Really ? Engg.Chakks was banned several times and several of his accounts.He laughed and came back again proudly saying he used Tor exit nodes and stuff to keep stealing. Doesn't help if the scammers are smart.

Definitely system is not the best what I'm saying is,that's the best they can do at the moment.We have new forum coming in anyway so just hope they have better ways to handle scammer accounts.

This thread is about a user complaining about loadbearing scamming them. Though they mistyped the name in their first post, they linked to their profile here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1916823.msg19018702#msg19018702)


Always check the trust. It should be okay now though since hilarious tagged them.

And the problem is that smart scammers are the ones that make the most money.
