Title: Resolved Issue: Scam Report: Lala
Post by: victoryxj on December 27, 2013, 12:05:02 AM
What happened:: He agreed to sell me some Nextcoins at a price 15000 coin = 1 BTC. I suggested trading with 0.5 BTC increments. I sent him the first 0.5 BTC and he never sent me the nextcoins.

I have sent you 0.5 BTC. Please answer me directly: are you going to send me 7500 NXT or not? Simple yes or no please. I have many important things to do and I do not want to waste more time with you.

Additional Notes:
I also lost 3.35 BTC to another scammer "insertcoolusername" (see my other post). I just got these coins from coinbase this morning for $2957 and my bank account is empty now. I do not know how to tell my wife about it, and I have a 6 month baby crying all the time. I am now soooo depressed and lost all my trust to the crypto world.

If anyone is willing to help me, I would be extremely appreciated.

LTC: LNccRZPjnMLaSycDMZERUu4NW7GZuvcoZD
NXT: 11971683968767913384




Update: Lala has returned the 0.5 BTC to me. Thank you Hypetic for tracking him down! Unbelievable work!

Confirmed. I was also scammed 0.01 BTC by lala. Go and submit a negative feedback on 'trust' option.

Haha, It really does seem too easy to scam people on here. It's baffling.

I dropped him some negative trust and he was kind enough to give me some back.

Greed can poison a mans soul. Please PM me now if we've had troubles, returning all.

My log:
0.15 HONEYPOT - Refunded, he can confirm if wishes.
0.5 VICTORYXJ - Waiting for response
1 IRATECHINAMAN - Waiting for response
10000EAC (PM'd about this) SATRIS - Waiting on response
10CAT (PM'd about this) ILYASPB - Waiting on response
0.1 NEFLIHIM - Refunded, he can confirm if he wishes.
0.95 DARKSTARX - Waiting on response

+ anyone else PM me if you've traded w/ me in the past.

To those who I've PM'ed, just leave me your BTC address and I'll send it.

Thank you. It takes a mouse to scam people and run off with the money, but it takes a man to admit being wrong and making things right.

Lala has posted that he will be returning the coins. I wouldn't suggest anyone else to start digging information on him anymore. It took a week for me to get enough and I will be following this to make sure they really get refunded.

I guarantee that I will not be posting any personal info if this all gets cleared up.

I doubt he's that much of a man, he's obviously only returning the money because he got caught and probably doesn’t want to go to jail.

I said "edit". Which means I'm not going to be removing the negative trust. Just state inside the negative trust that he did return partially/all of the money when caught out.

Ah, ok. Maybe put a note he only did so because he was blackmailed haha.

There will be a reference link directly to this thread. So that people can see for themselves anyway. Oh and Lala are you going to be removing the bad trust rating from me any time soon?

I just refunded most people, waiting on darkstarx and satris to respond. Everyone saying that I did the wrong thing and now feel guilt, please hear me out. When you feel invincible and earning $, you forget about other peoples feelings. I thought of this as an opportunity to make quick $ but I always felt guilt deep down. After Hypetic made this serious, I acted serious. After reading everything, I realised the seriousness of the issue and how it makes people feel.

Yes, negs will be removed.

Your lost trust should be in the scammers, not the crypto world.

Learn to protect yourself (escrow) and don't risk more money/BTC that you can afford to loose.

With a wife and baby to support playing with altcoins shouldn’t be your priority and just giving them away is (as you now know) rather foolish.

EVERYONE, get a grip and use a trusted escrow and avoid anything that leaves you overexposed should it all turn up bad!
