Title: [HIGH ALERT] SCAM SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: vicknick on June 04, 2020, 03:28:58 PM
What happened::
User f8man offers Telegram/Discord service. I contacted him initially on Bitcointalk and then on telegram about discord service to attract new users to my Discord server. But after paying USD 360 in Bitcoin, this guys just completely didn't respond to my Telegram at all. All my messages are not read, and his telegram status remains 'last seen recently'.

Amount Scammed: USD 360/ BTC 0.038

Payment Method: Bitcoin

Proof of Payment: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/2cc51febbb8bdbb1cb106dcdb88a08c00dd46ca35ae19d6e82353d04ff820479

Additional Notes: User acted very normal without any hint that he is trying to scam. When requested for plans for the task and some drafts to begin, he responded normally and gave the plans as expected. After payment, things changed 180 degree. He didn't even read my Telegram message even after few days, and his status only shows 'last seen recently'.

Op please atleast change your font size and color plus please type word normal instead of All capital later. It's really annoying to eye. And most of the people here will avoid reading your topic for the red font color and size. So it should be changed as normal. Otherwise, your post looks like spam indeed. and follow what Talkstar said.

You're just as likely of getting scammed if you use certain escrows.  Research the escrow names by googling them with site:bitcointalk.org in the searchterm.  

Minerjones is your best bet. (https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=minerjones) I'm working with MJ to build an automated escrow system so current escrows can't decide to keep the funds if something odd happens.
