Title: Scammed out of $10k by a "Richard Gray" on Ebay (Avalon Batch 3 Preorder) Post by: bobbywvz on August 09, 2013, 09:36:44 PM Few months ago I almost won an auction on Ebay for Avalon batch 3 preorder. Contacted the seller (graysellers601) to see if he had anymore, responded and notified me he did. Talked over phone/email, gave me passport, screenshot of Avalon order, had extensive knowledge of mining etc. (also had over 200+ 100% positive feedbacks on Ebay). After all this I found him to be legitimate and decided to go ahead with the purchase...
Offered me a 10% discount to go outside of Ebay (huge newb mistake) and went for it. "Purchased" the preorder for 10k. Paid him 5k with btc and 5k with dwolla (also huge mistake trusting and paying in full). Talked about bitcoin periodically in following weeks. Then when Batch 3 started to ship I contacted him, no reply... Contacted him every couple days, no reply... So on and so forth He went completely dark, phone numbers he gave got disconnected, no replies whatsoever. Gave him an out to send 100 btc to a btc address by a certain date or I would contact authorities, no replies and no btc. Have since filed ic3 complaint with fbi, contacted ebay and dwolla. Nothing so far Cry If anyone has any ideas on how to retrieve money or routes to take please speak up! If anyone was also scammed by him I would love to team up with you to track this scumbag down.

Law enforcement is clearly interested in pursuing fraud involving virtual currency.

Title: Re: Scammed out of $10k by a "Richard Gray" on Ebay (Avalon Batch 3 Preorder) Post by: gadman2 on August 10, 2013, 08:53:58 PM Just for fun skyped the numbers and the first two were busy or disconnected, the third was to an "Auto Pro" who doesn't know a Brandon Ruddick, and the forth number didn't ring for me. It just said "calling", no ring, busy signal, or anything. Odd.
