Title: [scam] user - Economy - multiple scams Post by: dozerz on September 07, 2020, 11:39:04 PM What happened: i have traded successfully with economy before. i answered his thread for $300usd swap for paypal. he contacted me via pm and telegram to say he had funds and to transfer the btc. i usually dont send first but for some reason (scam) he asked to send first so transaction sent ff7d155e4659408a7eb3c713f8101e2eb41beb4eba0a1df873db87710274b6b7 0.0298 for $300 paypal. he then queried the tx id and said couldnt find it, i sent the link again in telegram, then no response. he then deleted the temegram conversation and stopped responding.:

IMO we shouldn't trust people again from his trade history and how many positive feedback they got from DT members. But well, if you accept to trade without using any escrow... actually you know you have already take a risk about it. Title: Re: [scam] user - Economy - multiple scams Post by: HCP on September 08, 2020, 05:20:59 AM Have you considered creating a flag against this user (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;addflag=2170208)? An active flag will then show a warning for other users on topics created by that user... it could potentially stop someone else getting scammed!
Anyway, negative feedback has been left by myself and The Pharmacist... hopefully that either spurs the user into getting into contact, or at least helps prevent others from being scammed. :-\ Title: Re: [scam] user - Economy - multiple scams Post by: TheUltraElite on September 08, 2020, 05:47:03 AM One thing I can suggest is not to deal with users on telegram. Using its good features of being able to delete old messages scammers are using it to their advantage and removing evidence and thus it is advisable to keep all PMs in forum PMs.
Now I dont know why you wished to go ahead with the deal even after Vod has left a negative trust on the account. I see you have dealt with them before so by any chance do you know them better? And I would also suggest you to open a flag because it effectively warns people and non-logged in users for scammers. Title: Re: [scam] user - Economy - multiple scams Post by: dozerz on September 08, 2020, 11:04:24 AM i deal with people all day on telegram, its normal but first time i saw my messages deleted. i am not dozerz on telegram for anyone reading this, that is a scam account.
yeah i thought this would be fine, same btc address, same telegram account but sending first should have been a red flag. how do i open a flag?

HCP already linked to the appropriate place:- On the "Trust Summary (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=2170208)" page, it's the second statement for negative type feedback... - Follow the steps by choosing the correct flag type, then on its next steps make sure to use this thread as its link. - Don't forget to update this thread with that flag link, so we can support it. Negative - You think that trading with this person is high-risk. You might also be able to add a flag (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;addflag=2170208). Have you considered creating a flag against this user (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;addflag=2170208)? ~Snipped~ Do you have any other information apart from his/her BTCitcoin address [1Jd6CjiLK9AG7ngjPGyoDS9AhGtVTAKzGH]? - Might help in connecting it with other alt accounts (in case there are any).
