Title: [Scam] SaveYourBitcoins.com
Post by: Ignorance on August 21, 2014, 02:04:32 AM
What happened:: I made a thread asking to buy BTC with MoneyPak. This user contacted me saying he could do it. I have confirmation that he received the money and said he has to load it onto his card first. I said okay. He said his wife took his card and will be back in 15-25 minutes max. Its been about an hour now and he hasnt contacted me. He sent this to me and told me to use this. https://localbitcoins.com/ad/113468/buy-bitcoins-with-cash-fulton-mo-65251-usa Hes done multiple deals with users on here so I though he was trustworthy. Guess not. I understand he may have been off on the time frame but, still he coudve contacted me back and said just a few minutes.

Looks like he has scammed at least one other person in the past...   :-\

I've left him negative feedback, so hopefully no one else trades with him.

Congrats, you've left negative feedback on a scammer for once, instead of leaving negative feedback on people you suspect to be scammers based on very circumstantial evidence with around a ~50% false positive rate.
