Title: User legendster: Scammer. Post by: crumbcake on May 12, 2013, 02:00:49 PM User legendster claims to be an exotic car broker representing an unnamed friend in the USA.
1. legendster makes a claim of having recently sold a car for $36,000 in an "offline sale" (the car is a 911 Porsche turbo with California (US) plates -- user lives in India). 2. legendster offers us a series of photos of exotic cars he is currently offering in this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195234.msg2107280#msg2107280 3. legendster posted a photo of an Aston Martin with visible licence plate here:https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/560832_523780937656648_1588410876_n.jpg (https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/560832_523780937656648_1588410876_n.jpg), making the match to images here: http://teamspeed.com/forums/automobiles/70436-2006-aston-martin-db9-volante-black-black-scottsdale-az.html irrefutable. The match proves photos presented by legendster are harvested from the web, having no other connection to legendster. While the scam is absurdly juvenile and obvious on its face, and the odds of legendster successfully scamming anyone are laughable, mere presence of such low-grade cons on the Marketing/goods forum casts a shadow on the legitamacy of Bitcointalk.org as a reasonable place to conduct commerce. User legendster has been accused of scamming by several users within just the thread i've linked to above. User legendster is a Hero Member. Though "Hero Member" does not actually denote trustworthiness, the wording unquestionably implies it to new users. It's time to give legendster a scammer tag. MODS: Even if you think it's a 13yr-old boy, and i'd say that's more likely than not, don't let these forums become a known hangout where 13yr-old boys can hone their scamming skilz. Without fearing anything, not even a scammer tag, when they're caught. Title: Re: User legendster: Scammer.

Post by: shibaji on May 13, 2013, 04:51:31 AM I do not think legendster is a scammer or trying to scam (this is my understanding based on limited knowledge, please take with a grain of salt), but is certainly very misguided, and needs a reality check for his behavior if he wants to get any footing on any kind of business.
Title: Re: User legendster: Scammer. Post by: Benson Samuel on May 13, 2013, 05:05:01 AM I don't believe that he is a scammer.
He has crude methods and is a bit aggressive, and may need to tone it down a notch. I saw those posts when he had made them and it seemed like his intention was to act as a middleman for someone in Cali who has a dealership. That is my opinion on this.

I am now not a scammer :) But changing my sig wont change me, I might find some new prick picking on me to be annoying enough so I'd put his name down there.

AGENT for a broker in California, I collect contacts & forward it to him, so if I disclose the name the would be 'contacts' would directly contact him instead of me :) Please don't pretend to be an idiot or take me for one. Definition of Broker, from M.W. online dictionary: 1 : one who acts as an intermediary: as a : an agent who arranges marriages b : an agent who negotiates contracts of purchase and sale (as of real estate, commodities, or securities) The title of your thread is "Buying/Selling Exotic Cars (Through Broker)" But you're not the seller. Or the broker. You're a ... broker for a broker? Seems borked to me. EDIT: English is not my native language either -- don't bother with the race card. Quote 2. I DID NOT SELL THAT CAR. My friend BROKERED IT FOR HIS CLIENT ! You had nothing to do with that car, I get it. Why spam trading boards with pointless graphics? Quote 3. Go back to the post & see the source of the Pic. I did. What's your connection to Le Cruze Exotics (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Le-Cruze-exotics/132800936743624)? L.C. Exotics? (a cropped & shopped logo of Le Cruze Exotics, different Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/LC-Exotics/115837658461483)? Why did you try to blur out the account name in the pic you posted? Why didn't you bother to check if your image could be mined for personal info & leave it in the screencap for me to find?

Hello. If you have a few minutes to spare, the thread in question (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195234.0) is worth reading, though i should warn you: It reads like a lampoon of public perception of Bitcoin economy. If i'm to give legendster (facebook: Legend King) the benefit of doubt, this sums up his business plan:
While trying to disprove my claim that his business model was based on harvesting random car images from the web, legendster posted a screen capture. This screen capture included a date, 2011. It also included a blurred-out Facebook account name & did not include a link to the original image. It did include an area of the screen which *did* contain user names: Both legendster's (facebook: Legend King) and Facebook: Le Cruze, linking to L.C. -- both pages created by either young auto exotica fanciers, or ... ? None of this is proof positive of legendster's scamming. I think you'll agree that a scammer has to be exceptionally daft as the mods get exceptionally lucky for such proof to exist. That's the very reason legendster attracted my attention: he epitomises the worst of public misconceptions of Bitcoin trading: Vacuous, smoke-and-mirrors fronts, backed by shifty "used car salesmen" who lay quasi-legal internet traps for unsuspecting marks. What's worse, existence of such amateurish scams on these boards highlights just how low the bar is set for budding Bitcoin scammers. Thank you for answering. Title: Re: User legendster: Scammer.

I saw those posts when he had made them and it seemed like his intention was to act as a middleman for someone in Cali who has a dealership. That is my opinion on this. Hello. If you read legendster's reply to my accusation, you'll see that he has mislead you on both accounts:
Title: Re: User legendster: Scammer. Post by: Benson Samuel on May 13, 2013, 04:00:47 PM Quote Hello. If you read legendster's reply to my accusation, you'll see that he has mislead you on both accounts: He admits that he's not a middleman (broker), rather making a vague claim of "having a friend in US" His "US friend" is not a dealer. Legendster currently claims his mysterious US friend is "a broker." Legendster claims to having met this friend on Facebook. In another post he vehemently denies having met this friend on Facebook. When confronted with this contradiction, legendster retorts with (loosely): "I'm only human, we all make mistakes, lolz!" Thank you for taking the time to answer. I cannot defend him as it is obvious that even I am not 100% sure of his RL identity. But that is the beauty of Bitcoin, no one cares about RL identities, but they do worry about risks. What happens if you try to buy a car from him and it turns out that he does have a connection with the chappy selling those cars? This does not look like a scam, it is a badly advertised and ill connected business that has been defended very badly by legendster. I agree 100% with shibaji on legendsters behavior. I do not agree with the race card being played here. It had nothing to do with the fact that he is Indian. It started only because of a demanding tone for a loan which obviously was rejected. And he has been blaming it on stereotype statements about India. Legendster may not be a scammer, but is definitely good at digging his own grave :). I cannot see how he can penetrate the community post this without laying down heavy collateral or agreeing to high interest rates. Title: Re: User legendster: Scammer. Post by: legendster on May 13, 2013, 04:10:11 PM 1. I did not have any connection with Le Cruze Exotics prior to a contact in common between him and me - who bought a car from him.
2. Le Cruze exotics is a company owned by my "Californian Friend Vercetti" 3. The image in Lecruz's profile was uploaded in 2011, the picture that matched in teamspeak website is from a BANNED USER WHO UPLOADED THE PICTURE IN 2012 - obviously he was not THE real seller. 4. I have not HARVESTED anything. I have duly asked permission from "Vercetti' to allow me to post these pictures on a forum. you may verify. 5.

You have Successfully disclosed the NAME of my BROKER friend. You have not proved ANYTHING about me being a scammer. 8. I have clearly mentioned in previous posts that have merely re posting what "vercetti" has already posted, I have limited access and limited reshare rights. 9. You are an Idiot. Hence read this AGAIN !! I am human I make grammatical errors as well. Atleast this level of attention to every slight detail in my post gives me an impression that EITHER you really have nothing to do OR you are really that interested. I have not MET this person on Facebook like you meet a normal person : You search them you add them or you play games together. Lets create Assumed names so its clear for you to understand : Lets call my Car broking friend Mr.B the person that I know in person & who introduced me to him Mr.R. So Mr.R is my real life friend, lets say more of a professional acquaintance. Mr.R posts this picture of a very beautiful and expensive car on his fb cover shot with him in it. I ask him is it yours where did you get it ? He said he bought it with his own money that he earned. I didnt believe I asked for proof, he introduced my to Mr.B by tagging him & Mr.B said yes he is an international car broker and he got him that car in finance. Time went by i found Mr.B has a number of 'rich' people and agents/owners of various showrooms on his friends list who interact with him almost on weekly basis. I eventually came to believe that this guy Mr.B is legit and after I saw another picture of Mr.R with his family in that car he bought. Get the difference ? 10. Quote

Post by: Benson Samuel on May 13, 2013, 05:36:42 PM Quote I see your point about the risks involved. Dealing with legendster could expose anyone's identity, no matter how closely once guarded (see where he purportedly posts his "friend's" seekrit Naem) Thanks again, Regards. So, you are basing this on a future hypothesis that he may expose someones identity? Exposing an identity when requested not to, is a bad business practice, not a scam. I do not think that anyone who has the BTC to buy a car will not indulge in due diligence before they trade with legendster. As per the post on How to spot a scammer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137288.0), he seems to fit just 1 criterion. The second criteria mentioned below is just for lulz. Quote 1. New account (usually created within the last 3 months, plus or minus) 8. Any user blatantly claiming to be female I am sure that this will be investigated further and will decide an outcome, but I do not think it will be a scammer tag. Let us also not forget that he has not scammed anyone yet. Am not taking sides, but I see a lot of this discussion coming about due to a non alignment of people rather than an actual problem.

PLEASE Enlighten the people oh lord of DUMBFUCK IDIOTS, how ill I scam someone if I am not taking their MONEY >??? Quote 8. I have clearly mentioned in previous posts that I have merely re posting what "vercetti" has already posted, I have limited access and limited reshare rights. You have clearly edited your posts after people have called your bluff.Oh is that it now ? i have edited my posts ? Seriously you cant answer me toe to toe on this ? Come on !! is this the best you can do ?? hahahahaah :D :D :D :D :D :D Since you are at it, please show me WHICH POSTS I have edited ? because the people that have replied to all my posts are still there & they can VERIFY which posts are edited or not. Seriously, donate your home, buy a donut & roam the streets of rome naked, thats a better way to spend life for a person like you. Quote 9. You are an Idiot. Hence read this AGAIN !! I am human I make grammatical errors as well. Atleast this level of attention to every slight detail in my post gives me an impression that EITHER you really have nothing to do OR you are really that interested. I have not MET this person on Facebook like you meet a normal person : You search them you add them or you play games together. Lets create Assumed names so its clear for you to understand : Lets call my Car broking friend Mr.B the person that I know in person & who introduced me to him Mr.R. So Mr.R is my real life friend, lets say more of a professional acquaintance. Mr.R posts this picture of a very beautiful and expensive car on his fb cover shot with him in it. I ask him is it yours where did you get it ? He said he bought it with his own money that he earned. I didnt believe I asked for proof, he introduced my to Mr.B by tagging him & Mr.B said yes he is an international car broker and he got him that car in finance. Time went by i found Mr.B has a number of 'rich' people and agents/owners of various showrooms on his friends list who interact with him almost on weekly basis. I eventually came to believe that this guy Mr.B is legit and after I saw another picture of Mr.R with his family in that car he bought. Get the difference ? No, you'll have to try again :D This "Mr. R," who becomes "Mr. B" lower in your quote, is actually "Mr. Vercetti" ??? :D :D :D Fail! Mr. B = Broker = Vercetti. Quote 10. Quote
11. You are a mother hugging IDIOT ! Stay on topic. ----Lessons in American idioms .5BTC/hr. PM me.--- PM me, I'll teach you how to be a better human being and actually how to get a job. For free. Oh since you are such a greedy loathing bus taard I'll give you 1 btc off my pocket if you can prove that I aka Legend King/legendster is a scammer. Quote 12. So you want me to think you're a total idiot with no grasp of anonymous business transactions? Who'll leak my identity all over the web if i deal with you? Or are you a slightly more sophisticated scammer offering me another layer of bullshit to wade through?Quote did not include a link to the original image OFFCOURSE I did not want to link to Vercetti directly, My mere purpose of gaining 'Profit' is by sharing contacts with him & making sure MY CONTACTS go to him THROUGH ME ! Why else would he pay me any commission if someone directly contacted him instead of me.The Idea IS to SHARE information, there is nothing hidden here, any buyer/seller would be dealing through Vercetti hence they will see his id/docs etc there will be NOTHING that is obscured, we are not trying to sell you a BFL/KNC unit here. I tried my best to NOT reveal his identity to trolls and (probable scammers) like you, its pricks like you who fucked me over. Nah, just pretty bad at what you do -- scamming. Try digging ditches? :D Nooo, I'll try dig your forum grave. I might fail but I'll try :) Count on it. Title: Re: User legendster: Scammer.

Title: Re: User legendster: Scammer. Post by: legendster on May 13, 2013, 08:29:54 PM Since we agree that he may not be a scammer, you may want to consider adding a disclaimer on the thread title as well. Cheers! +1 This guy is the same as you. He does not know me, he has never met me, but he has chosen to be a little bit more compassionate, a little bit more polite & open minded. Thats what sets him apart, thats why he's in a different league than the likes of "crumbling cake dicks" and "Tom the cage cat" he is here to BRING btc to his country and NOT try & be the Troll King. (that reminds me I have to play Dota2 ;D ) He has seen facts and has not accused me pointlessly, he has criticized me, but look at the way he handed it out, Learn from him. Title: Re: User legendster: Scammer. Post by: legendster on December 04, 2013, 04:27:54 PM I banned crumbcake for spamming pointlessly ...... AWESOMENESS !! Title: Re: User legendster: Scammer. Post by: Fickle-Friend on August 31, 2019, 10:16:35 AM New scam and plagiarism accusations there :
So, my other thread was moved to investigations due to a couple of pictures I posted: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5175731.0 Let's stick to pure reputation here then. This foul-smelling, nasty looking, satoshi munching pacman (Legendster) has been around this forum for long enough and seems to be constantly getting embroiled in scammy shit, following which he writes pages of dribble to defend himself when caught, and finally has to resort to large fonts and bold letters to try and have the last word on any topic. Well, it all ends here. Please stay away from this character LEGENDSTER and any projects he promotes. Most are fraudulent. I give you a chronological history of India's 2013: Car Sales Scam: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=202979 In 2013, Legendster claimed to be selling exotic cars from Porsches to Ferraris on the other side of the planet. Our delusional cryptocunt lives in a smelly part of India, yet was advertising cars for sale in America. As expected, he wasn't able to sell a windshield wiper, let alone a car, yet the forum had to suffer many many pages of nonsense in this regard. User legendster claims to be an exotic car broker representing an unnamed friend in the USA. 1. legendster makes a claim of having recently sold a car for $36,000 in an "offline sale" (the car is a 911 Porsche turbo with California (US) plates -- user lives in India). 2. legendster offers us a series of photos of exotic cars he is currently offering in this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195234.msg2107280#msg2107280 3. legendster posted a photo of an Aston Martin with visible licence plate here:https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/560832_523780937656648_1588410876_n.jpg (https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/560832_523780937656648_1588410876_n.jpg), making the match to images here: http://teamspeed.com/forums/automobiles/70436-2006-aston-martin-db9-volante-black-black-scottsdale-az.html irrefutable. The match proves photos presented by legendster are harvested from the web, having no other connection to legendster. While the scam is absurdly juvenile and obvious on its face, and the odds of legendster successfully scamming anyone are laughable, mere presence of such low-grade cons on the Marketing/goods forum casts a shadow on the legitamacy of Bitcointalk.org as a reasonable place to conduct commerce. User legendster has been accused of scamming by several users within just the thread i've linked to above. User legendster is a Hero Member. Though "Hero Member" does not actually denote trustworthiness, the wording unquestionably implies it to new users. It's time to give legendster a scammer tag. MODS: Even if you think it's a 13yr-old boy, and i'd say that's more likely than not, don't let these forums become a known hangout where 13yr-old boys can hone their scamming skilz. Without fearing anything, not even a scammer tag, when they're caught. 5. I am NOT the BROKER OR the SELLER, I am merely a contact collector, I planned to connect "BITCOIN OWNERS" with an exotic car dealer and CHARGE COMMISSION FROM THE BROKER - VERCETTI, you can call me an AGENT to a BROKER. I'll just call you a scammer or an idiot -- you pick. Agent to a broker? :D :D :D :D :D A broker to a broker? :D :D :D :D :D Until my bodyguard hires himself a bodyguard, i'll just laugh at you. Like this: :D :D :D :D :D :D2015: BTC Loan Scam: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=954169.0 Legendster decides he can get rich quick by owning a Bitcoin faucet. But his broke ass can't buy it outright so he comes up with a good scam to fund his purchase: Quote from: Quickseller Almost anyone that is not outright offering/willing to use escrow is almost certain to be 100% scamming, period. Even the most trusted members of the forum offer the use of a neutral third party escrow service when soliciting trades with others. The faucet that you claim to want to buy is not worth 60 BTC, which is the amount you are requesting, it does not matter that the loan will fund at a lower amount, if enough lenders are stupid enough to lend you 60 BTC then that is how much you will receive. The seller of the faucet was trying to get a scammy loan using his faucets as collateral. His faucets are not worth .1 BTC altogether, let alone whatever amount he was claiming they were worth. I am not even going to try to do the math to determine how many users would need to visit the faucets every day for it to potentially have that much revenue, however the numbers are just not realistic. It is a well known fact that running faucets are simply not profitable, especially not to that scale. Asking for collateral upfront when lending funds is a trend that scammers try in order to steal from their potential borrowers. Anyone who has legit intentions of actually lending should have no problem with a trusted escrow holding collateral, and when other lenders neglect to include this option in their OP, I have never seen any lender having any issue with either myself or someone else making the statement that all collateral should be held by a trusted third party. The fact that this person has negative trust is an indication that collateral is likely to be stolen in the event it is sent directly to him. For the record the OP has a self moderated thread and deleted my comment about the importance of all collateral being held by a third party, and the only reason why I did not give him negative trust for such deletion is that he quoted my post and agreed that he would not have an issue with having collateral being held by escrow (although he did make a snide comment that my suggest was the stupidest thing he has ever heard) Additionally I have seen this person, on numerous occasions tell potential trading partners to modify their trust settings to have a trust depth set to "4" in order to get a "more accurate" reading of his trust. Having a trust depth of this much is not reliable and is very easily to manipulate, and this suggest is in itself scammy. edit: I see that he has since deleted his post agreeing to have all collateral held by escrow 2016: Offering MultiMedia Services by fraudulently claiming others work as own https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1380870.0 Offerred Multimedia services by showcasing his 'updated portfolio' which are actually random images grabbed from google and he slapped trademarks on them.

Only proves that you're out to scam. Quote from: doctorsnaggles Quote from: legendster Let me tell you how. You TELL your client that you have years of experience under your bag, which - I admit- is a LIE, you show them a portfolio which has a LOT of work. Mostly that aren't yours. Because nobody wants to hire a noob. But when you GET that job, you work! You work like there's no tomorrow and you MATCH that fake portfolio's quality. That is how THAT 17 year old green rookie turned into THIS 24 year old "professional". And guess what? That student portfolio with an awful content quality is now filled with work that pleases a LOT many people and why don't I share my portfolio online? because I don't want a rookie like I was, to find my portfolio and do what I have done. Do I understand right that you try to explain its absolutely normal to deceive someone in order to get a job? You would also write in your CV that you worked for NASA and tell some fantasy story in a 1:1 job interview just because you think you would get that job? In your head you excuse that lie because you think you are the best astronaut in the world? Thanks for telling how things works - what the fuck is going on here? In case I misunderstood, im sorry, but if that shit there is supposed to be real, I believe you are still stuck at 17 in your head. Let me tell you "how" this will end up when you, one day, enter the real world. You pull that shit and something goes wrong, you end up with a fine for fraud, pretence and misrepresentation. Following your logic, why dont you call yourself Salvador Dali Jr. and claim you are some long lost son who actually painted some of the stuff his father was credited for, then you get the job and you MATCH that work. I do understand your logic (I think) but...that is so so so wrong, and people here shouldnt take this serious. The day one of your clients find out about the lying part, no matter how good you are, they can legally just tell you to fuck off with no pay and any court will confirm it. Everyone is prepping up his cv with some nonsense, everyone who speaks 3 sentences of french writes crap like "French Language: Advanced" etc, but this is an outright fraud. Its like, Sony and Pioneer are 2 companies and I want a Sony, you show me pictures of Pioneer with a Sony logo and tell me its 100% a Sony...but then you better make 1000% sure I dont notice you sold me a Pioneer. You just try to speed up your career by deceiving because you wasted 4 years in some shitty school and argue with some weird form of necessity. Dont really care about the topic and claims itself but this little explanation .....S U R R E A L ... 2019: Shitposting An example of a post containing extremely valuable information not at all related to racking up post counts for any sig campaigns. :o ^ This dude is stupid. But he is consistently stupid. And I respect that. I wish he was consistently trying to better himself though. 2019: Promoting fraudulent projects Justifying promoting fraudulent projects and taking no responsibility for the same. Advertising a business on your advertisement space does not imply that the owner of the advertisement space is in any way liable or condoning any shady shit the advertiser is engaging in. Getting off topic here, but when you accept money in exchange for advertising for a business, you absolutely do bear some of the responsibility if that business is a scam. You're helping them scam people. Very basic logic here. I wouldnt have come in and commented if the issue wasnt already being raised here. And yes, I partly agree with you, which is why I think it is completely fine for Fortunejack sig campaign participants to show eagerness in busting or proving any scam accusations that is being made against the very entity that they have rented their signature spaces to. I don't see the problem here. Guys please ignore this imbecile Legendster, he obviously bears absolutely no responsibility for any project he promotes. Pls have a looksie here: EXHIBIT A: Bragging about misleading investors to the tune of $575m in an exit scam project, and feeling tickled by getting "a good feeling to be mentioned" in an article where the headline states A Wannabe Netflix Raised $575 million On Ethereum Then Ditched Crypto. Talk about a sane and grounded individual! ;D Yes, he feels good to be mentioned there since it's a prominent publication. He fails to see the context in which it was mentioned, hell, he probably failed to see the title of the article. When you offer a few sats to this greedy toad, all morals and ethics dissappear right quick!I was recently interviewed and mentioned in an article on Coindesk by Leigh Cuen about my involvement with TaTaTu. https://www.coindesk.com/a-wannabe-netflix-raised-575-million-on-ethereum-then-ditched-crypto https://i.imgur.com/mpPCGU8.png Sad that TaTaTu isn't focusing on being everything that they were supposed to be. Still, it's a good feeling to be mentioned there. That's fucked up. The short summary: Quote from: johnniewalker https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195234.msg2082258#msg2082258 I'm not going to lie, fucking with you is a lot of fun. But thats not the [main] reason I do it, and I can vouch for everybody else you mentioned and say their case is probably the same. You say one thing, you contradict it with another. You have sketchy written ALL over you. You have scam on you almost as much. Its people like you who give bitcoins and bitcoiners a bad name. Please beware of any projects being promoted by Legendster as many turn out to be frauds or exit-scams. To be updated... |
