burrito also tried to scam me.  He tried the old "let's use Teamviewer to verify your btc" trick.

I will paste here a post I made about it in the currency exchange forum.



Just want to warn everyone that burritos is probably a scammer.  

I'll give a rundown of the PMs he has sent me...

1.  He is interested in buying BTC with Moneypak

2.  If I send first he will take 2 btc and buy a $1620 MP card to pay me with.  He ignored my earlier mention of escrow.  He asked me to send first despite being a new account with no history.  He also showed he doesn't know much about Moneypak.  The max amount you can put on a card is $500.

3.  He says escrow is kind of expensive but that he would be willing to send first if I would verify my BTC for him using Teamviewer

The Teamviewer idea seems like a dead give away that he is a scammer.  The earlier behavior felt sketchy too.  Be careful everyone.  Scammers seem to respond to just about every one of these threads.
