What happened::
I was trying to sell Lax and were contact over pm on bitcoin talk and later took the conversation on telegram where we agreed on trading terms and price - sadly this guy is a scammer and thinks he will get rich by doing this, hopefully - this can get his account in red to prevent his scams on others.

Some people has over 100 accounts, one less account is not a big deal.

Some people has over 100 accounts, one less account is not a big deal.

The Russian bounty scammers whitetoo, 520bit and RoyalTeam are flooding threads to spread fake hype and create fake buzz. They have lots of accounts and have been exposed by many different users when they approach trying to buy "older" accounts.

Many of these accounts are not "newbie" accounts, they are old accounts. The scammers look up older accounts that have not been logged in to for years and then send PM asking them to sell it.

After the scammers sweet-talk people in to selling their account, the scammers change the email address and effectively take over the account. After that they refuse to pay the original account holder, therefore scam them.

Agreed, since he claims he bought the account for $150 in Janurary (see reference link from Lauda's neg feedback: https://archive.fo/7iYeN).  But who knows what's true?  Scammers tend to have an extremely casual relationship with the truth.

Hopefully this gets resolved.  I left him a neg, but my guess is that he doesn't care at this point.
