If needed I can escrow, under 3 BTC transactions are free, tips are welcomed but not necessary. Check my reputation thread and my escrow service OP too if interested, both found in my signature.

Buyer was sent to bitmit to purchase using their escrow system.

That escrow is fine.. I have never used bitmit so no clue how that works.

If you are down for using this gentlemen for escrow lets do it, if not I am sure you can find someone else to make a deal.

Contacting King right now for escrow

Post by: KingOfSports on July 01, 2013, 09:18:53 PM
Yup I can do it. What is the specific trade ? So I can write a short contract and send to both parties.

1.3 BTC sent to the escrow address. If the amount was 1.34 please send the additional .04.

1.34 rec'd in escrow address. Would recommend waiting for a confirmation, but up to the buyer. Let me know when to release.

This gift card claim code has been redeemed to another account.

The amount on this gift card has already been applied to another account.

Wrong code maybe?

Just fyi, I was sent the code but did not use it. I told him to send that to you.


Title: Re: WTS $150 amazon.com gift card for BTC
Post by: Blazed on July 01, 2013, 09:41:21 PM
Right....
Well that code is no good... glad i use escrow.  Thinking i should stick to OTC trades..

@Alpha what is going on? Why did the code not work?

Please wait an hour or two to do so. We have to give him time to reply. He wouldn't have been serious about trading if he hadn't agreed to using an escrow.

This guy now trying to scam me after sending a bad Amazon code..
I do much larger deals than this all the time in OTC and would not risk my rep for a tiny 1.34 BTC deal.. I just finished a 10 BTC deal not 3 hours ago.

Sorry for ever making the deal with the user, and i am very sorry for the complications to you king, i know that you just wanted to help people out.
Lesson learned: NEVER make deals with new members on the forums. No matter what there feedback elsewhere says.

Post by: KingOfSports on July 01, 2013, 11:53:24 PM
Blazed, I shared screen with alpha and the Amazon representative said it was used on that account. The representative told me it was used at 5:36 PM, about 5 or 6 minutes after the code was sent to you via PM. Looking at the users computer and programs, nothing indicated this person changed photos or did anything illegimately. I checked their amazon account and tabs nothing suspicious, I did not say anything when I studied this. I understand you have your reputation but the evidence here points to the OP being truthfully. I am allowing you 15-30 minutes to provide any evidence you have if anything. After which I will be releasing the escrow. Please do not have ill will towards me, I have tried to be as impartial as I can in this. In the future should I ever choose to escrow again, I will do skype calls sharing screens or literally just ask for account info and add the funds myself so that I am the only one who sees the code n whether or not its legit. I am sorry to both parties for this and I wish you both the best.


Title: Re: WTS $150 amazon.com gift card for BTC
Post by: KingOfSports on July 01, 2013, 11:57:08 PM
The email that used the code used the code at 5:36, if the OP had been smart enough to create an amazon account and add the funds to scam u and make it look like that, they would have added the funds BEFORE sending the code. This was not the case. The funds were added after the code was sent.

explain this? what does this even mean...

it takes about 10 seconds to make an amazon and gmail account. you could ask what the IP addresses were of the users who redeemed the code, if they'll give it to you.

but again if there is collusion between escrow and whoever ends up on the benefit side of this, all of it can be faked.

never mind the obvious redflag of someone giving you $150 for $120 because it is needed "asap" ... laugh.

ALL I HAVE EVER TRIED TO DO WAS HELP PEOPLE AND NOW IM GETTING CALLED OUT FOR IT.THIS IS SUCH BULLSHIT. SERIOUSLY FUCK BITCOIN. after this I am so done with this forum and all, all I tried to do was help, prevent someone from getting scammed, but no even the scammers use escrow. Seriously whoever is lying here I hope you rot in hell for other things youve done in life. Seriously, lying over $150, one of you is.

This stupid transaction has ruined any rep I have because the loser will file scam accusation and all u people who think i sound like someone else or whatever will follow up on it, both parties have decent evidence thus screwing me cause I have no decision.

The only thing I know about fucking Oldsport is him and Viceroy go at it on this forums, and that oldsport got caught scammming or something and still talks here on that account. Literally can someone provide me a choice here that doesn't ruin any rep besides a flip of a coin? There is no indisputable evidence for either side that proves either one innocent or guilty.

I have decided I have no decision. I cannot make one. I want to split the coins, flip a coin or have a 4th party take over this escrow. I can;t do this and never will escrow again.

Call your credit card company and reverse it. I have refunded the person with the most rep, there is no way to prove anything in this. Both parties have no evidence, either party couldve created email. I am done with escrows done with it all, file scam accusations idc im done. Literally I've lost hope in bitcoin users after this. Itll never be successful long term with people using it like this. Whoever lied go to hell.

Only because an escrow was used. The OP did make false accusations and TRIED to get the coins.

What does "shared screen" mean here, the timing seems off.

you were talking to the amazon rep and saw them do this in real time? http://gyazo.com/082a76c33073af11a84b40eb528fc1be ?

Because if you actually saw that, then I'd believe it. Because we have other (more screenshots, easily faked) evidence where reps do not say that.

It's just odd that you claim this very early on in the dispute but then for some reason backpedal when someone else asks the same question and gets a different answer.

I know if i actually talked to a representative, which answer they'd give me.


I'm also interested in how someone else can say "I bought order #12345" and not have to be logged in on the account that actually purchased it to get someone's email address out of amazon. That seems ... fishy ... also. I've checked and here is the email address of the person who redeemed it? Really?

Yikes.
