So, my very first bitcoin transaction was me getting scammed out of $200USD :(
lesson learned but it will be two weeks until I get my check, and I would like to grab some bitcoin now if possible.

You claim to have been scammed but you give no details.

You've been a member for less than 24 hours, so did this 'scam' occur during your first several hours of being a member or was it before you became a member?

How did you get scammed?

Was it by a member from this forum?

I would like to know the answers to the previous poster questions, also.

Interested in the Photoshop CS5 key :)

Nice sales pitch...  :-\

Buying serial numbers that could have been easily skimmed from seller's place of work, shelf surfing the Gamestop before re-shrinkwrapping, or just obtained off a software pirate site? Might as well pirate it yourself, because an email with a serial number is not proof of ownership (http://mcgladrey.com/Information-Technology/Do-you-have-a-receipt-for-that-software) in any way that matters.

Oh... I'm not that stupid. I will need the invoice also :) No invoice, no deal ;)

But before even thinking about asking the price of a key I want an answer to those questions lol

Wow you guys are really cutting this guys throat into pieces.. But I too would like to hear your scam story.

How were you scammed????  ???

Lawl.

"I was scammed! *Distraction technique* By the way, would you like some oil that cures all that ails you? It comes from snakes!"

It was the site auto-xchanger.com. I found them on google a week before I found this forum.
I was going to try converting pp into liberty reserve, and then LR into bitcoin,but I talked to someone on that sites chat and they told me it is simply faster just to send paypal payment as a "gift" and they would just send me bitcoin directly.

after they confirmed payment, they told me the bitcoin system is very slow, and that they sent the coins but I must wait for my system to catch up.

I know, should have researched more first, but I was excited to learn about this currency.

Every time I go to the site, they tell ask me how they can help me, i give my info, and then they ignore me.

I'm not very smart about this type of crap, so if someone knows how to get my "gift" back, please let me know.

you just gave money in "cash" to a guy you dont know.

What you need to do is put your bitcoin address in the search box on http://blockexplorer.com/. That will show your Bitcoin account balance. Indeed you may have been sent money and not have waited for all the transaction blocks to download on your Bitcoin client. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=51456.msg613055#msg613055)

Nope, not showing on there. Guess I'm just screwed?

Since you're, in your own words, "not very smart about this type of crap," you could paste your address here to have its balance independently verified.

Are you mocking me, or making a serious request?

Seriously, if you got scammed we would like to try to help you.  First thing, post here the address you gave the guy.  The address he was supposed to use to send the BTC to you.

Next, do you have any emails or chat logs you can post?

I think he means it. Post your address here and we could take a look exactly what happened. Include any information you have on that person or entity so we can see if what can be done.

I thought even Paypal Gifts could be reversed?

Yes, I was serious. I've seen recent bitcoin converts misunderstand how blockexplorer works.

Just a note the original poster. Don't take it personally that everyone is suspicious of you. It is just that you are not known yet.

A strange phrasing for someone that registered today...

A rephrasing of the first post: "You might not recognize this new account I just made, but if you blindly send me bitcoins, I promise I'll email you a serial number ('legal', just ignore actual software license terms). Any offer is fine (this $700 software serial number doesn't mean much to me). I have a sad story too, with no information to back it up, I hear those motivate people to do things they normally wouldn't." Skepticism is logical.

Interesting.

Generousity and kindness.
