Title: !!!Scammer - JelezeN
Post by: George5 on August 28, 2013, 11:02:21 PM
What happened:
I saw this guy JelezeN selling pennies (270CENT), made an offer and we agreed that I pay 0.6BTC for all of them. Wa also agreed to make a deal in two steps: I pay first for the half of pennies (135) 0.3BTC, after what he transfers them to me. Then I pay another half. But when I transfered the first half of BTCs to him, he suddenly wrote that (quoting): "Actually I have mistaked, thinking of other things, I am very sorry. Looking for more  0.3BTC and will send 270 Pennies. I will not wait confirmations, just notice and will send Pennies, they are already 287, you will taka other 7 as gift...
Regards,"

After that reply everything become clear to me - the classical scammer - still no pennies, no BTC.

Additional Notes: I advise you never to deal with this user and if it's possible for admins to ban his account and IP, so he stoped ripping people off here.

Rule #0 Newbies, NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH OTHER NEWBIES, EVER. There are plenty of veteran members to do business with and ALWAYS use escrow. If you're a newbie and you're doing business with another newbie, there's a 100% chance that you will get scammed (or you're a scammer yourself).
