Title: BEWARE of User: pinkman12345 !!! Post by: TucoRamirez on October 02, 2018, 06:52:42 AM It is unfortunate that I find myself writing this topic, however I have no other option at this stage.
What happened:: I made a loan (my first on this forum I might add) to user pinkman12345 on Aug 28 2018 for a period of 30 days. Scammers Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=288496 Reference Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4696736.msg44842585#msg44842585 Amount Scammed: 0.3 BTC from me 0.24 BTC from mdayonliner Payment Method: Bitcoin Additional Notes: I made a loan to user pinkman12345: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4696736.msg44842585#msg44842585 It (0.3BTC) was due back on Sep 28, and pinkman12345 has since gone off the grid. His telegram aliases are @lacheko and @imtuktuk . He has read my messages inquiring about repayment but is choosing to not reply. He also took a loan from another user, @mdayonliner around the same time and has not repaid. So far we are two of us, who have lost 0.54 BTC in the last one month to this user. We will edit this if the situation changes. I advise you to not deal with this user until this dispute is resolved. Title: Re: BEWARE of User: pinkman12345 !!! Post by: mdayonliner on October 02, 2018, 08:40:26 AM I confirm that I am still awaiting for pinkman12345 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=288496)'s response. He has taken 0.2BTC without collateral loan from me. I feel stupid.
I hope Peterson comeback and repay the loan as he promised. Loan details: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4485985.msg44707537#msg44707537 Title: Re: BEWARE of User: pinkman12345 !!! Post by: marlboroza on October 02, 2018, 03:31:04 PM I see they own you 0.3 BTC http://archive.is/cWReb and mdayonliner 0.24 BTC http://archive.is/IeHyZ if you don't mind to edit post with correct information?
I know it is not my business, but may I ask you why the hell are you giving no collateral loans? Easiest way to scam someone is to make small loan requests and repay on time, then these loan requests become bigger and bigger and finally they steal your money. Example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4508262.0 I'll tag them for now and I honestly hope they will return money. Also read this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3062663.0 they didn't respond to last post. Title: Re: BEWARE of User: pinkman12345 !!! Post by: The Sceptical Chymist on October 02, 2018, 03:57:10 PM I tagged him as well, and I'm also hoping he shows up and pays both members back.
OP, I feel your pain. I think I've made a grand total of 3 loans here on bitcointalk, and I got scammed for 0.3BTC on one of them. And why did I get scammed? Because the member had green trust and I didn't ask him for collateral. You really have to expect that someone is going to try to scam you when they ask for a loan, and therefore you always have to get collateral. I learned that the hard way, but hopefully both of you guys won't have to. That's a lot of money pinkman12345 borrowed. Title: Re: BEWARE of User: pinkman12345 !!! Post by: Avirunes on October 02, 2018, 04:18:32 PM I always kinda felt suspicious about that profile but he did sent some screenshots that proved that he was not linked with Chevas Regal as I accused.
I am waiting for a response... vvrr .. Title: Re: BEWARE of User: pinkman12345 !!! Post by: TucoRamirez on October 02, 2018, 06:10:08 PM I made a big mistake giving a no collateral loan. I had to turn to this forum to give a loan because Poloniex started requiring KYC, and I hadn't found any other platform I was comfortable with (well there goes using my comfort level as any sort of a gauge). One of my reasons to ignore the bright RED flag was him successfully repaying a few loans in the past as indicated by feedback. One loan was infact repayed to mdayonliner, after which mdayonliner gave pinkman12345 a second loan which has now been defaulted on (correct me if I am wrong, mdayonliner).
Well I have been investigating this fellow a bit, he claimed to me on telegram previously that he worked with the Stacktical DSLA team as a bounty manager. Today I chatted with an admin at Stacktical ( https://t.me/stacktical ), and he informed me that they had hired him for a brief period during which he made off with 9 ETH and delivered nothing. I can post screenshots of my conversation if needed at a later stage. Additionally he is also said to have several alts - snakey and 3x2 is what I found so far. FWIW, my BTC ended up at this address: 32bf8LDdJRGFuen16hRNrhcmr2KWDxeQte Looks like an exchange wallet. I also hope he turns up and responds / repays, but if not is there any realistic course of action in such a case? Title: Re: BEWARE of User: pinkman12345 !!!

I am waiting for a response... vvrr .. I believe he is linked to Chevas Regal: Open up this doc, authored by pinkman12345: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-81VAG6ZbUG8Ja3eylhudnc3s_kaJpDL/view Click the 3 dots on the top right, and click details.

https://i.imgur.com/duIHveL.png Where did you find this? Additionally he is also said to have several alts - snakey and 3x2 is what I found so far. Can you prove this? These are fake eidoo tokens https://etherscan.io/token/0x8c34f21b12c6293ae5ff831d7183b8163171905d Contract creator: 0x4ac1ca01a37d62c5221eac2d5ef8841c46775b1d (https://etherscan.io/address/0x8c34f21b12c6293ae5ff831d7183b8163171905d) Pinkman12345's address can be found in this spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mLysiSCr3fIiC3Rluto1oAScjTeqr5YxLBuLOstLgpM/edit#gid=1001893286 archived (https://web.archive.org/web/20181002194351/https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mLysiSCr3fIiC3Rluto1oAScjTeqr5YxLBuLOstLgpM/edit) https://i.imgur.com/CxUwZVU.png It is the same address.

Post by: Joel_Jantsen on October 02, 2018, 08:12:57 PM If all the above-mentioned information is correct, sad to tell you guys that you probably are scammed by an Indian scum called Engg.Chakks. I hope this proves that the green trust shouldn't be taken seriously when it comes to money. Don't lend random people on the internet if you don't know them personally or have a long trading history with them. Both of you seem like a newbie in the lending business on bitcointalk, this was pretty much expected.

Can you prove this? I have been combing through his post history. I found it on the Eidoo bounty spreadsheet - pinkman12345 was disqualified for using alts and multiple submissions: https://preview.ibb.co/dNFkYe/image.png (https://ibb.co/kfLxeK) I suppose it's not surprising that since he didn't get paid for all his hard work on their signature bounty, he just went ahead and made himself a bunch of fake Eidoo tokens instead. While chatting with me, he mentioned he is in the UK, but not British. I am inclined to believe that if we assume that the user pinkman12345 on LBC is the same - https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/pinkman12345/ I also found a domain registered to the chivasregal email address a year ago which seems to have a bogus address in India: https://preview.ibb.co/kStTmz/image.png (https://ibb.co/n7Czte) Thank you all for your assistance, I hope we can get him to come around and do the right thing.

I am inclined to believe that if we assume that the user pinkman12345 on LBC is the same - https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/pinkman12345/ I don't think he is. Pinkman12345 has a post gap like Chevas and I think it was a bought account. I have some info which might release his doxx if proper proof is there and is reported. Engg. Chakks is a kind of person who finds his scams as kind of trophies and I think some of his scams previously had his alts involved on both side to make a fake accusation. After I posted on this thread I saw some changes in the real guy's social and chatting accounts. So I think this might be it. He also blocked me on telegram when I asked for for response on this matter. Title: Re: BEWARE of User: pinkman12345 !!! Post by: TucoRamirez on October 04, 2018, 02:50:03 AM I am requesting everyone to please put all info regarding pinkman12345, his aliases, and any personal information about him, in public on this thread. If you don't want to dox him in public, feel free to PM me with what you have.
If he is indeed in India, and we are able to get his identity and info, there are some courses of action I can take... I can also confirm that pinkman12345 is or is connected to chevasregalfan@gmail.com I added the user on Google hangouts and sent him a msg inquiring about smart contracts, he sheepishly replied before blocking me permanently.

Post by: TucoRamirez on October 05, 2018, 01:04:31 PM well my investigation so far has come up with numerous alts, numerous ids, emails, telegram handles, ETH wallets. this is turning out to be more complex than a one time scammer, it seems this person has set up his entire op sec to scam.
How did u deduce that the same.guy is snakey and if aTriz knew he is the same individual, why did he not alert the community about it? Letting others run amok when you very well know them to be scammers. ::) aTriz a/c has changed hands and is not the most reputed member here anyway. I did reach out to aTriz who stonewalled me. however he has made this post on another thread today: Hi BTT, Well, as most people have noticed as of today, I'm Kevin, also know as Zapo and previously, Atriz. LoyceV, posted this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5042702.msg46487639#msg46487639, a couple hours ago, when I was looking for a 0.3BTC loan. I guess it's time to come clean and address some issues. I will swear on god, that this entire post will contain no lies, and all I wish is for other people to truly understand me. I’m not mad/disappointed at Loyce at all, actually I think it’s pretty moral of him to post that, and I completely understand his/her position. Let’s start at the beginning of aTriz’s downfall, shall we? Well, It was never my intention to EVER defraud, or scam anyone. I can admit I was very careless, and maybe didn’t act the best in certain situations, and this is due to my inexperience, and I guess spontaneous nature. The goal was to maintain a good relation with everyone, and have a steady income with management. The Bitbliss debacle was fucked up, especially in the way I responded. I never really dug deep into their site and never checked if they were a scam, and for some fucked up reason, I thought if I lied about being involved in it, it would be easily solved. The only time I noticed it was a scam, was when they stopped responding to my questions a week after the campaign ended, and they didn’t send over my last payment of 0.1/0.2 BTC if I can remember correctly. As for snakey debacle, I Definity had the idea of paying him back in mind. Like many people, I know and used to like pinkman12345 very well, and we worked together a lot, with him helping with eth dev work, and me giving him little tips here and there and giving him a small loan there and there. The last trust feedback I gave him was in December of 2017 when he helped me distribute tokens. https://i.imgur.com/ddEToB1.png I was going to keep paying him back, as much as I could, until I them realized that Pinkman/JH/Lackeo, who was one of my closest friends at the time, was the same person as the guy who is trying to get 17 ETH off me. Of course, I was pissed, and at that point, I gave up on either redeeming myself on aTriz. No one would believe me, and there was no way I could prove this, except with just the similar write styles, and screenshots from JH, and screenshots from snakey where both a Samsung device (looked like a note8/s8). Proof of them being alts can be found in this post - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5042099.msg46437898#msg46437898. Title: Re: BEWARE of User: pinkman12345 !!!

Do post your investigation on that thread as well. Title: Re: BEWARE of User: pinkman12345 !!!

I would also like to see this connection as well since Zapo also believes it right away while there isn't any proof of snakey and pinkman connection being posted yet. Regarding the information I have already sent it to someone to see if we can find out something more. Title: Re: BEWARE of User: pinkman12345 !!! Post by: mdayonliner on October 06, 2018, 05:59:30 PM pinkman12345 PMed me and said he will repay but slowly. I asked for possible dates. I do not mind giving him time (it's not something new for me, I never even asked anyone to pay me the late fees if they do not pay extra willingly) but I really hope he pays both of us. If s/he really does then I would request DTs to remove his tags for this case.
TucoRamirez PMed me the email you sent him and ask if we should wait... @TucoRamirez I do not mind to wait (please pinkman12345 let me/us know reasonable dates as I stated on the PM.) rest is your call.
