What happened::
Krishatnet and I agreed to a trade, my $325 vanilla card to card transfer for this users 1.3btc, as stated in my thread, i dont mind sending first to users with green trust. Seeing that this user was a hero member with positive green trust i didn't mind sending payment first then he would send btc after payment confirmation. It has now been 24 hrs since i sent my transfer to his vanilla card and i have yet to hear from him since....No confirmation, no explanation on delays, no nothing.

Additional Notes:
my question is, this user gave me their card number to send the transfer, is there anything i can do with that to find out the persons identity? maybe give it to the police or something? Is there anyway i can do a chargeback or anything?

Damn, it's rare that you see a Hero Member scam people here. He could've probably sold his account for that.


That probably depends on how sloppy he's been. Have you contacted Vanilla Reload customer service to see what they can do?

This screenshot says your email is marcchernandez@gmail.com at the top: http://m.imgur.com/yzZXnmY
I guess it's karma that a scammer gets scammed  :D

Karma's a bitch lol

Karma got him!  ;D
Didn't saw same situation like this long time on this forum.
At least krishatnet should return money to users who got scammed by marcchhernandez or he turned to the dark side (to a scammer).

probably why he didn't send the Bitcoin. Still not right though

Edit: can you remove the black bar from that screenshot?

Who is marcchernandez@gmail.com?

marchernandez is a well known scammer on here

Whoops, I have no idea who it is. Guess I need to read up. :-X

i have heard his name several times when scams are mentioned. I think it might have had something to do with btc Otc or something in currency exchange.

Scam accusation against marcchernandez

It's funny to see scammer got scammed by another scammer.

He charged back a bunch of PayPal and skrill payments. Check fraud. Never paid back a loan because his account was useless after the negative feedback.

He shouldn't get anything. Scammer got scammed.

Account abandoned!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=843459.80;topicseen

i know what state as well as area he lives in if anybody wants that info.

only because i sold him some btc recently. i almost went first too, good thing i decided on escrow. (he could have gotten way more, his trust was just starting to build up).

he bank deposited with cash in person. so i have a bank receipt which should so state and from bank branch he shouldn't be more than 2-3 miles away. but i doubt this info is useful, just putting it out there.

i'm probably not gonna care though, since op was a scammer anyways.

the question is why do you have -22 trust ?:)

I have decided to remove my negative trust for the person who scammed the OP. Although I do think he should give the money to a good cause and not keep it personally

The dude who scammed OP is a clown. Abandoned his account for a measly $325, hasn't logged on since. Can't trust anyone on this forum nowadays without escrow no matter how "legendary" they are

I think it hasn't been long enough to say that he abandoned his account.

I am also not sure how Vanilla works or if when you receive funds via vanilla the email address of the sender will be shown. If so then it is possible that he saw who he was trading with and decided to scam him

OP is fucked.

Why? It's still a scam. The guy likely didn't know he was scamming a scammer.


He wasn't a legendary member though.

my feeling is that the guy he scammed deserved it. (He scammed for over ten thousand in a very short time).  Him scamming revealed a scammers new account. As speculated above it is possible he saw the email address of the person sending him the money.

He may of deserved it but that doesn't justify it or vindicate him. If he knew the guy was a scammer and took the money but gave it to one of the person's scam victims Robin Hood-style it might be justifiable, but merely taking them money for himself isn't justifiable or ok.

yea as I said above he should give it to some good cause.

And until he does I can't see any good reason to remove the feedback. If he at some point returns the money you could maybe remove it then but I cannot see that happening. Just looks like a regular scam to me.

I guess that is fair enough.

you deserved it...
Karma?

bad karma LOL

Great read this thread, has put a huge smile on my face :)

And who you'r another Marc Hernandez Victim ?

Nope, just this thread gave me a chuckle :)

The OP of this thread has written over 100k in bad checks.

Run little piggy run.. a lot of people are looking for you.

scammer got scammed LOL

+1

It's always nice to see a scammer get a dose of his own medicine.

The OP was probably trying to build up trading history without escrow so he could eventually show people his extensive trade history without escrow and get people to send him large amounts of bitcoin to him.

Well this is interesting on what i just found

This guy is probably going to be the downfall of LBC, at least for non-face to face trades.

He has scammed so many people that it is almost not safe to sell bitcoin via LBC right now

Well most importantly he is located in Covina, so they have somewhat of a location on him.  If the bank is able to pull security footage from the atm along with prints on the check etc it could be his downfall.

He easily could have had some homeless guy, or some guy on fiver deposit the check. Just as easy it would be for him to to trade from another location. 

Someone got a full dox on him

karma is a b**** :D

hopefully you can get back up on your feet, $300 is a one weeks paycheck, so you can buy back bitcoin due the recent price drops.

OP is a scammer, he deserved it.Karma got him.

And OP has written arround 100k$ in bad checks...

I know this user "KRISHATNET". He is still active on EMS forum. If you want, I can try asking him to pay you your cash but since you are also charged for scamming, I would request you to first pay the people who you scammed. It isn't worth to cheat people as it happens with you too. Be honest and pay those members.

any proof for that?

Here is a quote (but writes $40k in bad checks,must be more somewhere..) and there is more info on localbitcoin as he had done trades there,but not face to face just online ones.

Of those 100K written, OP has made off with 20K and repaid about 6K so far. Thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=843459.140

he must be very stupid to do that...by using his name.

BAN ALL SCAMMERS!!

                     

SCAM ALL BANNERS!!!

SCAN AND BAN ALL SCAMMERS!!
 :P

a "scammer" must be convicted in order to be called like that. Yes, i know that it's frustrating but it's very easy to call anybody "scam".

I saw a lot of post with scams regarding to genuine biz
