I live in the UK and can come collect it today! PMed you

Thank you, i will collect it this evening after work.

Received funds from HonorMe and he has just collected it. Hopefully he will verify this when he gets home?

Yeah turned out to be what it said it was. 1 negative point, the computer was dismantled, but i purchased it only to sell it on as individual parts, so i cant really complain

Thank you :)

Would you be interested in trading for the 3960X for 3930K + bitcoins?

Possibly, message me about it and perhaps we can work something out :)

Yes, please pay your loan back before you raise money for your sister who has cancer.  Because that is more important.

Classy move, Znort.

Very classy.

In fairness to Znort, i was overdue and it has all been sorted now. Besides, thanks to these sales, i have raised almost 200 BTC So far, so it is all looking up.

Trading sylkyx my 3930K + 63 bitcoins for his 3960X.

Here's how the trade will go down:

1. I will send my 131 BTC to escrow (Hashking) to cover the 3960X being sent to me via DHL.
2. sylkyx will send me the 3960X first.
3. When I receive the 3960X, I will send my 3930K.
4. When sylkyx receives the 3930K, Hashking will release 63 BTC to sylkyx and refund the rest to me.

*If item received is damaged, DOA, or lost in transit, it will be the responsibility of the sender to continue the transaction as stated above and to pursue the matter with DHL.

Hashking and sylkyx please confirm that you want agree to these conditions.

I Confirm that these are the conditions we have agreed upon

Please send funds here for the escrow.

1FSxt4qGmHVB8cSuzPLYTkwZzmu3vprAiT.

Escrow received.

Thanks, PM sent to sylkyx regarding my physical address.

I smell..
edit; Removed my accusations against this seller and some other parties. I am watching closely though.......

I smelled fish on 2 of those nicks when I first saw them posting, but I didn't bother investigating.

See the two lending threads for both of em.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88705.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88875.0

I see a similarity in the title, and the select capitalization.

I am the one who purchased the 16 Toxic 5850s from Sylkyx. He sent me a picture of them along with a named and dated sign (or at least 15 of them, in the 3x5 array), and has provided a DHL tracking number. The tracking number is still not up on the DHL site, but there's still the possibility it will be soon.

I have noticed that HonorMe and Sylkyx log in and log off at the same time, so I've been careful with this transaction as everyone should be with big purchases from new users. I'll let everyone know when the shipment gets into the system and when/if I get the cards.

sounds good. I'm probably just being paranoid. And with the influx of new users over the past few months there are bound to be similarites in their locations, etc.

Hi there,
Sorry i am not subcribed to these threads otherwise i may have responded sooner. I am confused as who else you are referring to other than myself. I have others on this forum who can vouch for how genuine i actually am. Yes, that picture is same, as its the same rig, i never sold my entire rig, just the cpu, so why that would be brought up in this thread i do not know.

Besides, i shipped 16x 5850s to MrTeal yesterday morning, still waiting for the tracking to be updated with DHL. I provided a signed picture of all 16 cards and have been doing a fair number of genuine business on these forums over the last few days to raise money for my signature.

Please could you not try and give me a bad name on this forum when i am working very hard to do the opposite.  


Edit: Oh you are talking about HonorMe. The only thing i have in common with him is a sale we made a few days ago. Regarding login/logout times, i am not able to verify this.

All this evidence is very circumstantial and imho you're wandering into the FUD zone. I politely ask you to not clutter up a sales thread unless you have something more concrete. As far as I can tell, sylkyx has been more than professional and demonstrates good faith that he wants to complete the transactions posted.

There is a separate Trading Discussion (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=8.0) forum which might be more appropriate if you believe that he is attempting to scam people.

No worries at all. If you are on the up and up then I am the only one who will be left with a bad name for jumping to conclusions too quickly.  And I never leave things hanging. If I am wrong I am more then willing to say so and clear up any issues if I cause them.
yea, I am aware of the available 'forums' here. And if I thought you were getting scammed I would have PMd you. I posted here instead of trade because anyone interested in the 16 cards would not have saw it in time. The parties invloved saw my posts, contacted me and have cleared some things up. Thanks for your useful input though.  I may be mistaken but one thing I do not do is spread FUD. If I bother to spend my personal time on something it is becaue it either has value to me or I belive it to be beneficial to others. In this case I am hopefully wrong but that does not change the info that I saw which is much more than the small bit of 'circumstantial' info I posted here.

Regards,
 Derek

Thanks Derek, I understand that people do have to be weary these days, however the 16 cards i have sent to MrTeal are now available for tracking, so i do hope this clears up any doubts about me and my sincerity.

Andrew Roost?

I feel members would like to know, the 16 cards shipped to MrTeal are confined to have arrived by DHL

confirmed by who? DHL shows the package stuck in customs.

11.   Processed for clearance at CALGARY - CANADA    CALGARY, AB - CANADA   16:06

11 Clearance delay CALGARY, AB - CANADA  16:06   
10 Processed for clearance at CALGARY - CANADA CALGARY, AB - CANADA  16:06

May i ask what you have against me when i have been nothing but decent on these forums?

notthing at all. Just posting the correct information.

I copy and pasted that directly from the DHL website, so as far as i am concerned that is correct information.

Wednesday, June 27, 2012   Location   Time   Pieces
13   Processed at CALGARY - CANADA    CALGARY, AB - CANADA   12:35   
 
12   Clearance processing complete at CALGARY - CANADA    CALGARY, AB - CANADA   11:58

feel better now?

I will take the 4x 7970's for 180 BTC, if we use "Cablez" as an escrow agent.  Only if he agress of course, but I am sure he will. 

Yes, i would be willing to do this.

Got a SATA cable in the mail today, which isn't exactly what I ordered. Somehow there must have been a mixup in shipping. The phone number he gave me didn't seem to work, but I was able to find the right one and I gave him a call at home. He was very apologetic for the mistake, and agreed to fix it within 24 hours. I remain suspicious, but I will follow up in this for anyone else interested.

Haha that sucks.

Side note. When did OP get scammer tag?

Order 16 5850s, get a SATA cable in the mail. I found it quite humorous, tho I would be ripshit if that were me. 

I don't really know anything about the circumstances, but being apologetic and making (empty) promises is a very common scammer behavior. Watch out.

On the flip side, what's an honest trader supposed to do? If I were selling thousands of dollars of GPUs, and there was a screw up, I would be apologetic and trying to fix the situation.

About time.  I called that shit the day he got out of Newbie status.  Lemme see if I can find the link...

Edit: Here it is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=76155.msg845139#msg845139 ... Ok, so maybe it wasn't the same day he got out of Newbie mode, but it was pretty close :)

Damn that sucks.  I’m curious how he is going to try and fix this if it really was just a screw up.  Because I'm guessing the cards are gone or he would have noticed an extra 16 cards lying around.  And if he got the sata cable and card orders mixed up the sata cable guy probably won't return them.

He claimed he must have accidentally sent them to Leezyist. I find it hard to believe that he could have done that, but who knows. He actually did have the cards in his possession as he sent me a photo of them with his name and the date on them. The mistake is hard to believe as the DHL documents he sent me showed the weight and value as 10x the numbers as were listed on the actual documents I received.

His story does seem to check out though. The person he was fundraising for to help her sister actually does exist, though her Facebook page doesn't indicate if she's left yet. Sylkyx does also live with someone with the same last name as her as well, which was how I was able to track down his information. Who knows, maybe he was desperate to help.

Really, I'm too pathologically honest. I was extremely suspicious of this, and other members counseled me to just wait for the package to arrive before sending anything. In the end I did because I had agreed that I would send half upon confirmation of the package being sent, and that was fulfilled. Still, we'll see what happens tomorrow, I'm actually hopeful that he'll return what I paid. I may not be in England, but I do know a lot about him. He got a relatively small sum of coins, and for most people it wouldn't be worth me contacting his foster sister, his parents, former employers, the local police and his profs to explain the situation to them. It might not do anything, but if I were a prof and I received reasonably solid proof that a student of mine was committing fraud on the internet I might not do anything about it, but I would definitely look twice for academic dishonesty in the future.

Funny that he would say that since HonorMe is the one who was selling cards to Leezyist. Sounds like he is getting his multiple accounts mixed up.

You are way to trusting. I(we) told you not to send that money, m8 :/

and he is the only one in control of the Danielle Revell Facebook. The account was just created recently. The 'first join' wall entry was deleted and none of the 'freinds' seem to know anything about her.


edit; Did Azn atleast get his cpu?

So sylkyx = HonorMe = InterCoin?

not sure who InterCoin is.  I do suspect Honor and Sylk are the same or atleast are working together irl to pull shit off. And am fairly confident that leez is either one or both of them.

Sorry you got burned, but WTF bro?  Why would you not use escrow? 

because he was keeping his word that he would send half whne they got shipped. It was a rather large chunk of cards for someone to ship first on. I have to commend him for that and am sorry you he got burned for it.

Holy fucking shit.  It's that easy?  Makes me want to give up the paltry 6.8% I'm making each week and just start scamming people.  It's much more profitable it seems.

Edit: Sorry, MrT.  I'm not necessarily directing at you.  Good man for holding up your part of the bargain.  It just pisses me off when I see people taken advantage of when it could easily be avoided.

Yes.

Also, there's no practical reason to releasing any funds at the time of shipping vs when the item is received. I could understand needing money prior to shipping in order to pay for the shipping, but once it's shipped, just keep the funds in escrow.

Even if the actual cards were sent, many shipping services allow the sender to redirect the package all the way until just before it is delivered. Until it arrives, assume that it is still in their possession.

I think it's time for a good doxing.

Just out of curiosity, where's the post where he's selling a SATA cable?

There isn't one, of course. :)

Well that does indeed suck.  How much did you send him? :(

Not yet. The shipping number is still invalid afaik too.

sorry to hear that. With your deal you've atleast got everything buttoned up in escrow right?

Correct.

I'm a bit confused why he would try something like this since I insisted on escrow if he were actually intent on scamming me. Originally he wanted to send first and then when I got the package, I would send bitcoins and processor without dealing with escrow.

But I insisted on an escrow as protection for both parties since the sums involved were rathar large.

He still has my benefits of the doubt (maybe HonorMe is his roommate or something?), but anymore strikes would make me feel quite uncomfortable.

I don't belive you guys were the intended targets. He was using the trades with you and MrTeal as credit towards some new loans on both accounts.

You idiot.

I do feel bad for MrTeal.  

At one point he/they may have actually intended to send the cards to MrTeal as a way of building rep because I do believe that us lenders were the real intended target.  I got to chat with him through PM several times and something just did not feel right to me.

What really pushed me to the scammer side was not anything he/they said in here (these forums) although suspicious, it was this:  http://www.indiegogo.com/p/122324 (http://www.indiegogo.com/p/122324)

Which he linked to from this message:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88015.msg968353#msg968353 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88015.msg968353#msg968353)

The whole "Cancer Sick Sister" page itself reeks of scam.  

My working theory is because that did not work, raised $0, and having spent all the time to write up that scam and not wanting to waste the effort he/they then came here to the Bitcoin forums.  The idea was to sell a few things, build some rep, then scam as many large loans as possible.

When the lenders became suspicious the fall back was to take what they could on the cards.

I am willing to bet this guy is 100% an alias of DoubleIcaras guy that scammed 200 BTC off the fools here ...

Not happy ... soon BTC will be used by Nigerians for 419 frauds too >:(

I am generally quite a sympathetic person but tbh this is just beyond ridiculous. All the glaring warning signs were there for literally months. Anyone who couldn't see the cancer sister page was a scam is an idiot. Look at the poor spelling and cheesy bullshit. If this guy isn't Nigerian I will eat my own toes..

And yes I have been scammed out of a couple of btc here and there from various business deals, but for this large a transaction there is no excuse for stupidity like this after receiving so many warning from other posters..

PS: this isn't hindsight bias I saw these threads weeks ago and laughed at this guys pathetic attempt at scamming. little did I know he'd actually be successful. doh!

DAWCHS! DAWCHS!!!

Given the non-response from PMs, the still invalid DHL tracking number, and recent developments here on this thread, I believe sylkyx actually was actually attempting to scam some loans and has no intention of actually sending me the processor and now want my bitcoins back so I can pay off the loan I put up for this trade.

I will PM hashking in a moment with my bitcoin address.

thank goodness for escrow. It may not prevent the hassles of a bad deal but atleast the bitcoins are preserved.

Please do not post his dox. He may be a POS thief who has no qualm stealing from people, but we should respect his privacy.

A thief deserves privacy?

Don't mind me. I'm just trying that reverse psychology thing I read about on teh internet.

The only reason I can think of not to dox him is that MrTeal might want to sell everything he has (and that appears to be a lot) to a collection agent in the thief's home area.  Possibly by talking to his parents some of the money may be recoverable.

A very long shot I know.

Aye, I would concur since only one party ended up being harmed in this case we should leave the doxing decision up to that party.

didnt you guys find out where some of the other scammers live ?
just curious what has ever been done to them... besides bad mouth them on the forums ?

shameless plug..  I will buy bad debts / assist in collecting from scammers in Australia =)

A big fat NOTHING because you cannot do crap about stolen BTC.

BTC is the best tool for Nigerian scammers like me.

Too bad nobody in the community gets to practise the jailhouse mining techniques when they drop the soap :D !

I am waiting for government enforced cryptocurrency, if that will ever exist ;D

Some idiot from Germany got doxed and was about to get arrested before he suddenly decided to return all the BTC and blame everything on his roommate. Can't remember the thread though.

Arrested for WHAT ?

Surely not for the stolen BTC ... nobody recognizes them anyway.

"Crybaby : mom, he stole my imaginary money !
Police : Stop trolling noob !"

Can't remember, but apparently it was serious enough for him ti do a 180 and return the money.

How much were they talking about ?

I find this hard to believe, still ... shakaru took $20K and nobody did a damn thing !

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=64012.0

Hmm sounds familiar.

WOW. I actually remember that Dexter guy with his cool rack of cards with LED dummy plugs and industrial AC setup !

I also remember the Powercoiner guy selling like 35 5830 cards !

But ... there is a difference here mate.

The guys paid with wire transfer so they could trace him to his real information.

If they would have paid with BTC I doubt they would have had anything back.

That is true, you do need some proof that you sent funds to the person you are accusing. Not as if wire transfers are the only way to do that but it is easier for the police to work with since it is something they deal with semi-regularly.

Definitely depends on the country, the US is very locale specific in how the police would deal with complaints. Where as some Asian countries have actually been vocal about the willingness to use police action over digital property crimes.

Exactly. Please show me an example where BTC has been stolen and somebody prosecuted for that.

This would show BTC is legitimate or starting to be accepted by the "world".

The guy accepted wire transfer then fails to deliver = no wonder he gets jail.

Why has shakaru scammer not had any problems whatsoever ?

Maybe he is such a good guy and everybody loved him ? Or maybe nobody can do a damn thing to BTC hackers / scammers unless BTC is legalised.

Exactly. So there's absolutely no reason not to release his dox. Sylkyx has absolutely nothing to worry about!

Are you going to repay the coins?

*grins evily*

He probably just hasn't checked on this thread because he's not subscribed.

Wow, this one really turned into a shit storm. Fuck that, put his info all up in this thread.

It's a kid? Get a hold of his parents. Fracken sata cable, wow, this was a way to lie to his parents I bet, to make it seem he sent off what was supposedly to be purchased?

This is a big bowl of spaghetti, all messed up.

That's why I posted in the kids request loan thread, stating, so you may close this thread and he replied with, yes you may < that was odd.

Scumbag twerps. I wouldn't care how old ya are, I'd beat the breaks of the kid and serve my time.

You just don't do this shit.

Edit:

Are you serious?

I'm sorry, have you met bulanula?

Sorta seen him around holding some guys 25btc, so I wasn't sure if he was being sarcastic.

He is being sarcastic. He did the guy wrong in some respects but due to the lack of a tag that is in between scammer and maybe one for 'unethical', he got the full out scammer tag. He is still very pissed, and maybe rightly so in some way. He should still just send the guy his change back and move on with being a "highly moral, respected, super cool forum guy' imho. ;p

But, he is definitly not in the caliber as these dudes pulling the multi-account, confidence scams...

You can sue for breach of contract and the lost value and consequential damages as well as the value of the item. There are things that are sold or traded that are not money. Especially art and real estate and securities where no real cash trades hands, only digital codes or rights or certificates. You could even claim fraud and possible go for treble damages in small claims court and easily win a judgement, or get police involved.

Coins have been confirmed received.

Somewhere out there, there's a poor guy who is still waiting on his SATA cable due to this honest mistake.

Exactly. I need to up my game it seems :-\
