Bitcoin Forum

I am new to this world of bitcoin and I hope I never mess with it again! The question is:

I bought a lifetime account uploaded.to member of the Coin-Exchange.CC and then I did what he said he would pay me the account after 6 confirmations that was on the 11th of December and I do not understand this and would like to know how long takes to get those 6 confirmations? In my wallet in blockchain says it already has a 445 confirmations! And now he no longer answers my mp's!

How should I proceed? Or I lost my bitcoins?

Is your wallet synced?


Edit; Misunderstood the question, sorry!

Oh, bad news then...
Coin-Exchange.cc is known as a scammer on the German board and in some other subforums
He also does an escrow scam using bitmerch (bitcoin shopsystem) and many other bad things.

How much paid you him?

Cheers

what does that mean? As I said I am new in the business of bitcoin! but I think he received bitcoins!


Do not tell this guy! WTF! MF! 0.23 bitcoins! >:(

Yup, you got scammed. What was his user name on here?

everyone speaks bad of my country here just apes and  thiefs! But all businesses have made here or the staff of the Japan never had problems here I thought it was a world first forum and I'm stealing this way! Excuse my rant but never experienced it before! Live and learn! And unfortunately thief has to be everywhere in my country (Brazil) or here, is only discrimination that should not have anywhere!

The name of my "friend" is Coin-Exchange.CC

Is there anything I can do to not get into mischief?

What fate do scammers deserve...

Always use a trusted escrow when trading. Of course he must be known as a trusted one. You shouldnt simply use some other noob account who claims to be an escrow because the other mght suggest him. The escrow might be another account of the scammer. But if a real escrow is involved your money is safe until the trade is done. Thats how you trade securely.

I completly agree with the above.

It's a shame as there seems to be so many more scammers in here now which obviously puts a terrible image of bitcoin to new comers

Thats why i think its important to catch the scammers. For example i work with others to find the labcoin scammer. When these guys see they land in jail for messing with bitcoin community then scams will become less likely. Of course some groundrules still have to apply.

i should'nt be mean
 

It wont change if bitcoiners life after the motto of "not throwing good money after bad money". Pirate was catched... labcoin scammer will be catched too. And it looks like bitcoiners changed mind. They will go after them.

indentured servitude imo

General rule of thumb is that you're a new user and you choose to do business with other new users, there is a 100% chance that you will get scammed, or you're a scammer yourself.

what happened to Pirate after he was caught ?

He is the main protagonist in Assassin Creed IV - Black Flag  ;D

Yes. Read this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=106391.0).

Don't send money to people you don't know.

The case is still ongoing i believe. Didnt read of a verdict yet.

I did not see this thread until yet  :o

A payment never appears, please send payment hash via PM.

I sent what you asked and hopefully answered my message because the last message which you replied was December 11, and 8 of them were not answered message from

One month later ... No answer! No private messages answered! No emails! Nothing! Is looking like he does not want to clear his name!

AFTER we get scammed, we wish that we could destroy the coins that we've been swindled of.

BFL!
