Bitcoin Forum

Damn, I knew something is wrong.  Try to contact peoples who paid him cash and bank transfer.
You can get more details easily.

Try to contact peoples who paid him cash and bank transfer. You can get more details easily.

"gapthemind" the only forum member who paid with SEPA - not answering any PMs - probably fake account
the other two who "paid in cash" arent linked to any forum user and could be just some random names

As i told a guy that have sent me a PM, i was at a work doing 2nd shift and i couldnt send him info he asked and i told him i will do it when i come home.
So here are his bank infos:
HU87 1040 2812 8050 5553 5750 6002
name is Zoltan Nagy, bank is K&H Budapest, Hungary.

Now, all of you calling me a scammer i have samething to say to you, FUCK OFF. I have a real job and a baby on the way and i have more important things in my life then this forum.

i will offer a 1 bitcoin reward if i can get my 7.12 bitcoins back!

For people based in the UK there is a site called actionfraud where you can report online fraud. I'm not sure btc scams are recognised as a form of electronic fraud but we can give it a go.

And the Picture linked above with the logo and the text on the window, I am pretty
sure the text says "phone" in lowercase in an unusal font. Maybe some phonecompany logo?

I'm "walking" through SZEGED with street view finding for that mysterious logo....

 >:(

The font is similar to "Angelina regular" - last letter "e" is skewed or another font used. There can be just a part of the name or slogan.

Ive created very coarse representation of logo just to get any idea how it could looks like.

Nor color or shape is precise. Dont use it to google image search - wont get any results (ive checked but please feel free to try other services)

So, we got scammed and lost ~300 BTC. what now?

First, most important thing: reference
- reference thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=252180.0
- reference user: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=79855

What happened:
vdragon started a group buy for buying 1000 block erupter devices from yxt
he collected funds from the participants and pretended driving to yxt for personally picking up the order
the day on he seemed beeing on the way he cleared the wallet and started washing the money

There are some possibilities:
A: he is clean. still on the drive way or pausing in a motel without internet. and has a fucking reason pushing all our 300 btc through a mixer
B: was a legit member before and decided to do this scam shortly
C: scam was planned long before and so are all old posts fake and just part of a story (=we are screwed)

What is you definition to know if it is a random idiot?

Here we have a group buy from an account with a good activity and also yxt posted that at the begin of the group buy:

These arguments are easy but in fact it was impossible to know and finaly it is the bitcoin world, we are never sure at 100% about what we order until bitcoin has another platform than a forum to organize group buy.

We can trace the shop and see if there is a second floor with the logo on it.

Well I just sent him an invoice from paypal and his name comes up

   Stefan Darin (vccdragon@hotmail.com)

He must have a certified paypal account

it seems that vdragon owns or owned an avalon,
maybe we can trace back via this way?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=154009.msg1635436#msg1635436

I assume the avalon owners are pretty limited and the company maybe can help tracing

Or via Pool owners, they maybe record ip addresses

Well I just sent him an invoice from paypal and his name comes up

   Stefan Darin (vccdragon@hotmail.com)

He must have a certified paypal account

I sent an invoice as well but no name came up. How exactly did you obtained this information?

When I sent him the invoice it came up as the person I was sending it to on paypal

    26 Jul 2013   
Invoice To    Stefan Darin   Pending   Details Invoice To Stefan Darin    Choose Remind

sent it to his email address on his profile page

Is there anyone from bitstamp here? if yes.. he wrote about bitstamp on many post,so i think you can ask them to match his details (email address, bank info etc) with their customers.

Is there a possibility to trace his laundry attempts by some clever analysis?

I randomly clicked through the flow and found this fresh and heavy loaded:

I have been googling and contacting some of the owners of the outputs in the blockchain and they confirm that the transactions relate to bitcoins they bought on bitstamp. Getting the info from bitstamp should not be too much of an issue as they are a UK registered company therefore they have to follow the proceeds of crime act and money laundering regulations.

Does anyone from the group buy live in London and would be happy to contact the Mets E-Crime unit?

Can someone contact bitstamp by every means they can ASAP and get them to freeze his account as he may not have withdrawn the funds yet.


This is the address we need to be looking at: https://blockchain.info/address/1CSPFR5CrkcxHmNG9yra3rL2BW6BHttJHL

This address is his bitstamp address https://blockchain.info/address/1meLbV7TMMSpWrW9Nw6QUAbf9XJRztXL8 all the outputs are our coins being sold (i contacted the outputs owners).

green, you should contact them direct yourself asap - https://online.met.police.uk/

If he really lives in Szeged, Hungary, this must be one of his IP addresses:

Hello


I sent bitstamp an email with the ripple information and with the address you posted!

https://www.linkedin.com/vsearch/p?keywords=Zoltan%20Nagy&orig=FCTD&pageKey=voltron_federated_search_internal_jsp&rsid=1356893681374869504556&openFacets=N,G,CC&pt=people&f_G=hu%3A0

https://www.linkedin.com/vsearch/p?keywords=stefan+darin&orig=GLHD&pageKey=voltron_people_search_internal_jsp

Yes I seen it too - saying something about policy not being able to freeze funds etc

[EDIT] and advising you to contact police

If they can't freeze funds, they should give his all details.

they won't give us anything, never! they would provide the information to the police only.

Can someone contact theymos and ask for his ips?

I am also in the process or writing a report to be sent to the police can those who have been scammed by him contact me so i can add your contact info to the report.

You can print all pages from the group buy and attach to your report

Bitstamp may share private user information if there is a relevant
investigation carried out by the authorities. To victims of a crime we
would kindly suggest to contact police and file a report.

In linkedin the man removed his picture , i am sure it was in his profile two days ago
Someone to confirm this?

So it takes a little bit longer, Police -> Courtorder -> Bitstamp gives out data.

It shouldn't go as far as a court order unless Bitstamp refuse to cooperate and the Police deem it suitable enough to seize their server hard drives.  

I believe vdragon is watching this thread and enjoying the show.
1) vdragon's profile point to a shop.
2) gapthemind claims vadron's bank account points to "Zoltan Nagy". Maybe the IBAN is correct but not the name. My guess is that gapthemind is working with vdragon or is vdragon itself and IBAN points to random account. It's the only user who payed with SEPA. Lost ~1800€ but has better things to do than check this forum.
3) vdragon's paypal account points to "Stefan Darin". It's probably fake too but since vdragon did not used paypal for this scam, it's likely the most reliable guess (unless we are dealing with professional scammer).

His photo is still showing up for me (I've never looked at the page before).  The URL I'm looking at:

http://es.linkedin.com/pub/stefan-darin/39/337/372

if gapthemind is legit and was scammed too, he will help us
by providing the sepa-transfer proof and filing a report to his police too

That guy looks like a proper Dutch guy, hence his native language is Dutch.
Is it even the person we are looking for?

Also, I noticed that Gapthemind is from Spain, and the maybe vdragon IRL both live in spain?
It's from the top of my mind, but I am just posting any leads I can think of, I am not Sherlock Holmes...

Nope not spain, says romania:
Anonymous            1              Spain            GLS                                  0.89             (sepa transfer, btc done)
gapthemind           30            Romania            GLS                              26.7             (sepa transfer)

What do you think about it?

https://www.facebook.com/darin.stefan.5
https://www.facebook.com/stefan.darin.7

both accounts seem pretty fake. the second one played a game called "dragon city". the guy is playing us!

i would suggest that someone from UK press charges and have the authorities contact bitstamp in order to reveal the IBAN account(s) used to cash out the coins. preferably someone with big losses (green65?).

from there, we will see what's the best move.

Maybe its a good idea to get every vitcim identified before green files a complaint. They want names and ID's , not just forum nicknames.

I assume it will be possible with the Bitcoin message averybody should have sent? right?

i sent that to green65 but i worry that some people might be working with vdragon notice how many people are on this list *CURRENT ORDERS

I sent everything to green65

Message sent to green65

Message sent to green65

now he deducted the rest too...
https://blockchain.info/de/tx/50799b6634331bd32751f4b110ae616e50417de3659972589db1e29a4ca7c01e

Can anyone explain me what the police wil do with the personal info (e.g. Addres, Real name) of the report green65 is going to submit?

maybe yxt can help us about the price,
@YXT, was it possible for him to resell @ 0.89?

I'm not accusing anyone.

But if yxt actually was the brain behind this scam, involving a random hungarian buddy, it would be a most excellent one, since he would have stolen over 200 BTC and still can continue his business unbothered.

No answer.

And maybe he was not looking depressed enough about a negative 1100+ eruptors on his order book.

I know, paranoia.

It’s just going to be a list of victims with their contact details along with the amount bought, bitcoins lost and aprox. fiat amount.

If the police want to ask you any details then an email or phone number would be useful, also having victims addresses would be useful if he is found and compensation is to be paid, as people know the legal system still likes using lots of paper and snail mail. If you dont want to give me any info thats fine I will just put a note saying you did not want to provide me with this info which i would totally understand.

If you send me a screenshot of your PMs thats evidence of a transaction and contact between you and vdragon.

I have contacted action fraud today and got a crime ref. number.  ::)

Can everyone who was scammed in the UK report it to http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/ if you want to i can provide you with my crime ref number so everyones reports can be linked (PM or email me)

If your outside the uk report it to your countries police.

Guys, pffffff, this just totally made me break my keyboard: (Well, I hit it so hard the C is broken, had anotherone lying around)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=263893.0

Why the FUCK did we even order the pieces of shit of vdragon, we knew I would take a few more weeks then he said...

exactly  >:(

Hmm, true, but still, if you think of it, the price drop of these things is gigantic...

We didn't know that the price was going to drop at that time

I am very impressed by the progress of finding this guy. I'll never scam anyone because people are so innovative when finding people. Online traceability is difficult to cover up (I hope for your benefit). I'm sorry for bloating the thread but I want to subscribe to it to see the progress.

Good luck guys.

Hi,

dude also invited his victims to this scam on bitcoinforum.com  https://www.bitcoinforum.com/marketplace/usb-erupters-groupbuy-0-89btc-a-piece-euint/msg4453/#msg4453.

But one has to register to see posts.

There are some possibilities:
A: he is clean. still on the drive way or pausing in a motel without internet. and has a fucking reason pushing all our 300 btc through a mixer
B: was a legit member before and decided to do this scam shortly
C: scam was planned long before and so are all old posts fake and just part of a story (=we are screwed)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=148086.0;wap

If you search vccdragon@hotmail.com you will find he might have sold his account and someone else is using it.

Yeah I found that selling thing too.
Are there really no mods here who help with this kind of thing. IP checks and whatnot.  It just seems so shit that scams are so easily donecandvare allowed ton continue undeterred

Mod's can't check ip address etc, only admins can.  :(

we need news green65.

question did we ever have proof that green65 was not vdragon? i could be totally wrong and if i am i would like to apologize to green65 i just wish there was a way to check and so whose who

If I were him I'd feel partly responsible for your loss

BS. Stop "feeling sorry" on other people's BTC. You wish to pay for all the scams going on, go ahead.

Alternatively, the various muppets thinking they're hot shit on the basis of having said the word "Bitcoin" fifty times the past week and having "been involved" for "a long time" by nobody having heard of them ever since last Autumn need to chill the fuck out, read my posts, get with the program and stop feeding the scammers.

What the hell does the peanut gallery think Bitcoin is, anyway?

Would there be any way that the seller of the blockerruptors (friedcat?) would give you the block eruptors you paid for? I know that fraud takes place in these forums all the time but it seems that this one was unavoidable. The way that they were being sold meant you needed to place trust in one person and escrow wasn't easy or practical. Has anyone tried emailing him make him aware of the situation. If I were him I'd feel partly responsible for your loss and I'm sure a few blockeruptors wouldn't break his bank when I'm sure it has for a lot of you guys.

Sorry if this is a stupid suggestion or it has been done already, it just seems investigation is becoming stale and it's not looking good.

PS: I scammer-tagged him to prevent him changing any details (posts etc).

That is complete bullshit, sorry.
Serious group-buyers use escrow. The rest get scammed. Period.

This is completely outrageous to suggest that (one of ?) the only asics provider with real stock should cover for a scam involving his products ?
You want him to pay for all the AM shares scams, too ?

You pissed me off, there.

I don't understand how escrow could have been used in this case. The seller needs the money to send the product so either you trust the main group buyer with all the money and then all of the products before sending them out or you send the money to an escrow, they send to the seller and the main group buyer still has to be trusted with all of the products before mailing them out to the group buyers. Please clarify my outrageous line of thought if I'm wrong. As far as I know all of the block eruptors go to one address.

Please also tag scammer EuropeanMiner. It would be nice if there is possible to restore
all of the posts he made while preparing his scam. He deleted most of them after he was exposed.

Profile:   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=136036

For now I beleive it is just an alt of the vdragon, and there are more of his alts out there possible.


route

True. Escrow could do nothing but make sure the order is actually executed.
That is still better than what happened here, though, as the scammer would have to get rid - or mine with - the eruptors, instead of getting a load of bitcoins he can instantly convert to cash.
Probably makes things easier in case legal actions are taken, too.

Still does not fix the issue, I agree, and apologize.

But that's not the part that made me mad. :D

For now I beleive it is just an alt of the vdragon, and there are more of his alts out there possible.

Haha Danny I saw it on YouTube, you explained it pretty good.
You have so many stuff, do you even have space to live in your house? :P Kiddin mate, I love your videos.
I lost all of my BTC, well, I still have 0.001 but thats rubbish.

I dont think we wil ever see our BTC back, we should have not trusted people from eastern Europe, I know it sounds hard but it is commonly known here that there are only scams to be found in eastern europe...

I looked over the original tread again, and noticed a red flag: He first said he had a Audi A6 but a few posts later he said he doesnt have a A6 but A A4, Im sure everyone knows which can he has or no?

What do you guys mean?

Hey what's going on here, I am pretty sure I saw a post yesterday
from "Blazr" that is gone now. Someone deleting posts?

I've always wondered why your ignore button is so lit up. I justified my reasoning. I know there is a lot of fraud in the forums but this is a bit different. The means that these were sold made them vulnerable to fraud and I feel that part of this responsibility lies with the seller.

You did, several posts have been deleted, including the claim by Blazr that they we're just in the 'background' doing coding for a group of scammers

whaaaaaa ??????  You understand the concept behind bitcoin right?  The whole non-reversible part?  The whole part about only you controlling your money and no one else?  What made you be interested in bitcoins anyways?

I've posted this info on page 7:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=148086.0;wap

If you search vccdragon@hotmail.com you will find he might have sold his account and someone else is using it.
You will find caspercat1997@gmail.com, which could be a stolen/hacked account as well. It's in Hongkong.

He actually admitted to have purchased bitcointalk accounts, reason given to extract xrp from the free offerings.

Knowing once email address doesnt mean that I am one of the account owner of it. To be frank, I own plenty of public email address of BitcoinTalk

You can find me acquire history at

The above is the qualification tool and the email searching too i have created.

By the way, BTCat please consider removing your neg rep at me coz up till now you have no prove that I own, I have incentive to scam with this account.

The above content is a summary of what i have PMmed BTCat. Instead of having a proxy to send all the message to you guys thus having some more neg rep dropping into my account, I think this is the best way to clear all the FUDs on my side.

Here is some important information about the forum. This is not a rulebook or agreement.

RESTRICTIONS FOR NEW MEMBERS

After registering, you will be unable to post in any section except "newbies" until you have spent some time on the forum and have published a few posts.

If you are registering to ask a question, please ask it in the newbies section. Do not wait to ask it just because you must post it in "newbies": the question is very likely to have already been asked. If you don't end up getting good responses, you can ask it again elsewhere after you are established, or you can move the entire topic.

If you are commenting on Bitcoin, use your newbie wait time to read more about Bitcoin. If you are criticizing Bitcoin, find similar criticism using the search tool to see which points have already been covered. A good use of your newbie wait time is reading Satoshi's old posts.

STAY ON TOPIC

Every reply should contain some comment that is relevant to the topic post. Do not reply *just* to another reply -- include at least some on-topic comment.

If you would like to reply just to an individual reply, you can create a new topic about it.

MOVING TOPICS

All members have the ability to move their own topics. The link is at the bottom of the topic page. Do not ask moderators to do it.

ILLEGAL SITES/TRADES

Do not post trade offers that are obviously illegal in most of the first-world countries. Do not link to or advertise sites that are built to allow such trades.

Alright.

I was understanding everything in this until the last 3 posts by Blazr, BTCat and now the incomprehensible 001sonkit .

Or is it just me... what's going on?

Hi Casper.

Sorry about my negative post but it seems you bought a bitcointalk account that was involved in a scam.
Perhaps it's better to learn what happened, so that you are not immediately accused of it.

Please tell me what you have done with the account vdragon
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=79855

If you can help to find the person that stole about 300 btc with vdragon account, there are a few people willing to give a reward (btc).

Please send me all you know then I will concidder to delete negative trust as well.

Thanks.

Yep, sorry guys I had to delete the post, I'll explain as soon as I can, but for now anybody wondering what it was about:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=159359.msg2749356#msg2749356

Does anyone have an update on this? Anyone have the UK crime number for the report to the UK police?

Someone who I watch on YouTube got hit by this douche, hope he gets what is coming to him.

Someone who I watch on YouTube got hit by this douche, hope he gets what is coming to him.

I guess this is pretty dead, unfortuantly.

This guy is on skype, name is robert nagy
search vccdragon@hotmail.com

Hmm, that's very interesting, and it does match the email on his bitcointalk account...
