This is really unrealistic and untrustworthy offer. people should be aware of it.

edit:
I have reached the user in telegram to be more clear about the offer. And here is the chat log

Edit 2: Just make some fun with the scammers to know how actually he trying to scam. So this the way of scamming people who don't want to use escrow even don't know how to use it.
You can take a look below if you have some time.

Technically it's 30% off - you pay 70%. But yeah it's bullshit either way. The posts have been deleted so whoever reported them - well done.

Yeah, first I thought it is 70% off by seeing the words 70% of the cost But lately I understand actually it is 30% off.
It’s totally bullshit weather 70% or 30%. :) No real seller make any offer like this mainly for bitcoin.

Title will be changed soon. Thank you @suchmoon  for notifying me.

Big discount from a brand new user and he is so determined that he will get someone soon. Whatever it is 70% or 30% i don't believe anyone gonna give this amount from his/her own pocket. Yeah its true that after seeing this type of offer some greedy people will be interested and we will see another new thread here.

I was about to tag scammer when I have seen a post on B&H section  (http://archive.is/H2Nwh) and noticed a thread opened by against scammer. Most likely he is targeting newbies now. Anyway when I visit his post history then noticed still there is three active post (http://archive.is/XPcuj) visible of different sections just copy paste same post. 30% off on bitcoin price is obvious scam IMHO. I think OP should create a flag type one against scammer.

Good job OP, keep it up.

Op is updated with the ways of scamming of this scammer. Maybe user exchange account hold/unable to withdraw by the exchange for any reason. And he want to recover it by this way that I guess.

Flag also created : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=2107

You may support it if the user deserve.  

Tnx coolcryptovator, I am writing this post with flag link while you posting.

He's back again making posts in different boards, where trust and flags warnings don't show.

If the mods deleted his first posts, I don't know why they wouldn't just nuke the account

Flag also supported just in case the person is not nuked

It's a fake exchange no one has ever heard of so obviously you wouldn't be able to withdraw from it and perhaps they would ask you to deposit more money "to verify the account".

And the scammer wants you to pay in Bitcoin for Bitcoin LOL. Couldn't they at least pretend to be legitimate and ask for USDT or something :)

That's a new way of an old scam technique and I believe I have seen the old scam and even exposed it here. In the old scam, they used to ask us to sign up on a fake exchange to try to withdraw their BTC for them and they would pay us some percentage, and after requesting a withdrawal there, and the exchange showing it as processed with a fake txid, they put you into trouble by blaming you that you ate their BTC. This somehow relates to that old school scamming technique.
