Title: Etsy Bitcoin Miner SCAM
Post by: coinuser12 on December 04, 2013, 06:32:04 AM
If you were scammed on Etsy.com and purchased a Bitcoin Miner on there put all your posts on the topic here.

What we know:

Etsy store name: BitcoinForever

Etsy user name: John Adkins (most likely stolen identity)

Location: San Diego, CA

Email: btcbuyer99@gmail.com

Actual persons location is in Germany. Has heavy German accent. German IP address.

Currently using localbitcoins.com with user name Btcbuyer99 to sell bitcoins in Germany.

Stolen from 2 known persons so far.

Had a listing on Etsy.com for KNC bitcoin miners. Accepted payment in Bitcoins then disappeared.

If you have more information on this or were a victim then post all info you have here.

Can you give me the IP and phone number you called?  I can't find any trace of a German IP accessing that email.

Also, PM me your contact info please so that we can discuss this further.

Confirmed 'coinuser12' is 100% frauding.

I've been told by a guy working for Etsy that no one else was scammed on their site.

Who could 'coinuser12' really be?

Do you even know anything about this situation? Or are you just spouting nonsense?
The problem is, you don't.
Read the other thread before going on like that.
