Title: Bush possible Scammer???
Post by: hlynur on June 10, 2013, 12:51:17 AM
so i watched this auction
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=230048.0

after looking at Bush's trust summary he has 4 untrusted positive feedbacks.
somehow two of these guys that did these feedbacks (BitNit & NumberFive) have bids placed at this auction and their profiles were registered some minutes after another.
(June 01, 2013, 01:45:51 AM; June 01, 2013, 01:47:36 AM)
these profiles themselves got only positive trust feedback from Bush before.
when checking the only reference for his feedback from transcation with BitNit, i get a currency exchange transaction thread that is filled with profiles with negative trust level screaming SCAMMER in their trust summary.

i don't know what's up with that whole connection,
but i don't feel like buying his cake.
It simply feels too constructed to be true that two guys register with 1 1/2 min time difference and by pure chance place bids at same auction from the guy they both gave positive feedback before.

is there a way to put profiles on Scam-Watch or something similar???

I'm new to auction and just passed by.
thanks for any feedback


edit: I don't want to discredit any trader just by assumption so I'll post if everything went well. perhaps buyers can give feedback here...

this guy also thinks you're scamming

no ranting please, i wanted to take  the whole case low because i just saw a strange coincidence.
i don't want to discredit an honest seller in any way so that he has disadvantages from that.
there is no evidence right now that somethings wrong

seller pmed me some minutes ago and i will close my thread with an excuse when auction is succesful.
 until then nobody should start a hassle

status:
auction ended.
one bidder:
i see friedcat is online and he didnt confirmed anything here, and bush told me he pm-ed him 2 days ago ...

any updates?
nopes ... this is taking too long, ill ask my money back from John

so until there aren't any news from friedcat or a statement from the seller Bush (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=120439)
whole situation will stay  fishy.
other users also posted comments about strange stuff happening.
If somebody's interested to read the whole story:
auction: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=230048.0

i will do a last update if there's any change...:P

stay tuned...on the next episode of bitcoin patrol:

update:

I have confirmation from friedcat that Bush has not sent out the share transfer request yet. (not sure if he still has the shares though)

Escrowed funds will be returned if there's no confirmation after 2 days.

so he tried to scam us ...  >:(

well imo case is closed.
i can just advise users to trade with Bush with serious caution and always do escrow!

last update:

Bush gave me negative feedback for "false feedback", lol, when he actually tried to scam us, LOL

yea that's really not the gentleman's way how to deal that situation.
at least users are warned now.


Bush is a Scammer!!!

Witnessed, and gave him some negative rep. Can we get some other Trusted's to drop some red on his profile too?

Warning added. I confirm the story on my side as the escrow.
