Please post any evidence you have (PMs, emails) into this thread at your earliest convenience. Please sanitize your post here to not disclose any of your own personally identifiable information if you so choose. Please include the BTC address etsanchez requested payment to be sent to.

The allegation is that none of the above members received product.

etsanchez allegedly replies to GuruSteve via PM indicating that it was indeed a scam at: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=42167.msg525281#msg525281

@GuruSteve
Please post PM content reflecting the above statement so I can remove "allegedly". It has been corroborated to my knowledge but it would help to have that PM posted here.

It was confirmed via Administrators that etsanchez and turquoise9955 are the same individual. I have not located direct evidence of fraudulent activity by turquoise9955 as of yet.

In future transactions please be cautious folks. Don't depend on this forum or Staff/Administrators to protect you from scammers. Do some substantial due diligence and if it sounds just too good to be true, just pass on it.

Edit: Please do not post in this thread unless you are a party to the transactions referenced above or have specific evidence regarding the transactions or the accused member(s).
@Staff: Please remove any posts not conforming to the listed post restrictions.

On my netbook, so I don't have my normal screenshot capabilities. Will send screenshots in the morning.

Here's a C+P of the BTC address.

ya i understand and ive been on plenty of other forums with that mind set i just dont know why i was being so naive about this ... i guess i was blinded by my want of the product that i was willing to take the risk/chance ... live and learn right ....
