Title: 219bxway Local Bitcoin Scammer
Post by: cooldgamer on July 13, 2014, 09:07:44 PM
Bought a $125 Moneypak from this user, was okay with releasing escrow before I found a buyer since we had traded before.  Bad move, now I'm out the cash.  Notserp tried to redeem it and the funds had been used.  I also got a scan of the receipt

Greendot and Local Bitcoins have both been contacted, but do NOT trade with them

Is that a chat log from here? Who is Nigma?

It's difficult when you have traded with people before, I try and use escrow every time, But I do avoid it when I have sent something to their address and got a signature on file, Or a F2F trade.

Best thing to do, Is what you are doing (letting people know)

Not a nice feeling  :-\

I always thought with localbitcoins you meet up with the person or is it just a way to see who is selling in what ever area's ?

hopefully the site will give up the other persons IP and they werent smart enough to use TOR

Greendot pretty much told me to fuck myself since I was using Moneypaks for payment...  At least they didn't shut down my prepaids, could have gone a lot worse :-\
