would you mind fixing the link to the image? at the moment the link shows "site can't be reached".

the dude's previous account has been negatively tagged before but has nothing to do with phishing. if you can fix the image link that shows that what you claim is real, perhaps he'll also get a negative tag for it.

I can open the image just fine...

The main problem is that PM's can be faked pretty easily... It's not that i don't believe you (cause i do), but a screenshot might not constitute as sufficient proof for everybody...
Maybe you can ask a mod to verify the PM, afterwards the (potential) scammer's account will certainly be tagged.

If you want to trust someone to verify if the PM is valid  (and not deleted), I recommend LoyceV to check it out. He will log into your account and make sure the evidence you provide is genuine. I've seen him in the past several times helping with this kind of case (just to verify the evidence) without any problems.

Yes, sometimes imgurl from some ip addresses show this. I've been try update image url, may be now it will work.

>fix the image link that shows that what you claim is real, perhaps he'll also get a negative tag for it.
By the way is it not so much democracy here? I mean these guys (not only that one) has a lot negative "tags" but they still exists on forum and trying to scam newbies. Is it ok for such forum?

I believe admins has access to all PM's messages, so they can check if it's genuine for sure.

still the same. anyway, you should do what mocacinno has said. if mods can verify the legitimacy of the PM then surely the user will be tagged.

scams are not moderated here in the forum so scammers only get negatively tagged to warn others that transacting with the user can potentially lose your money. a scammer will only be banned if they have broken a forum rule that is a bannable offense.

just a tip, if you plan to quote a post. just click the "quote" button on the upper right side of every post.

There's no need to "verify" the PM through other users, just click Report To Admin (http://) (at the right under the PM), and type: "phishing link, please ban".

Kontrakwel aka konabel has been known to users of this forum as a troll and a scammer for months.

Just look at his trust section from an account he abandoned earlier due to negative feedback:

My account id from 1xbit = 252045431

My account on 1xbit site is:  252045431

I think now there is no longer any doubt as to what a person this is.
