Bitcoin Forum

Two weeks ago I made a thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1174628.0) selling one of my CS:GO knives for $185 in BTC. A week later I received this PM from coinmaster222 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=119409) offering to buy my knife:


Note how he insists on going first. I offer to use escrow:


He doesn't respond for a few days and I send him a PM asking if he's still interested. He responds with this:


According to the seclog (https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php) (archive.is of the seclog after receiving this PM (https://archive.is/KD73o)) and his profile, he has not changed his password in the past month. We first exchanged PMs a week ago, meaning he is lying about being hacked.

I checked his trust and found that he recently put his account up for sale in this thread (https://archive.is/yEhvP). His stats perfectly match those described in that thread, the Total Time Spent Online (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=119409;sa=statPanel) stat is a dead giveaway.

Anyway, I believe this is enough evidence that he intended to scam me and anyone else who would send first to him. He lied about being hacked once he realized there was no way I would complete the deal without escrow. He clearly doesn't care about his reputation anymore and wants to get a quick buck out of his account before discarding it, whether that be by selling it or scamming someone.

I have left negative trust and I urge others to do the same, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets someone to send first because the account is a hero.

Thank you for notifying us about this person. Further transactions with this guy and his scam attempts will be prevented.

He could've made a better excuse tho. He sounded like a teenage boy trying to fool some tricks to his parents. ;D

Yup. That seems like a very lame scam attempt.
Good job for requesting escrow!   8)

Good find! This is definetly a dumb scam attempt, default trusted members should leave a negative feedback on his account with this as refference. I wll also leave negative trust on his profile.

I had my account hacked on 20 sept,actually had my computer hacked and lost a lot out of Cex.io whos 2FA did not work at login.when someone actually got me myself I told them I know nothing about it and took the advert down straight away.As for my account for sale I am more apt to dump it than sell it this forum has lost all its charm and credibility.The hacker is days away from being caught as Interpol are now involved as he tried to steal thousands from my account at Banx.io till Simon Dodds got the account frozen.
I now live in a hospice and sometimes glad I am away from people who just assume anything on here,as for you writing bad trust I can see the point of the guy who thought he was being ripped off but WTF is VOD sticking his friggin nose into it for.
Write as much red trust as you like I dont really give a shit I have more pressing matters in my life than worrying about that
Apart from the guy who was selling a knife,in nearly 3 years you will find no one that says I tried to rip them off,I am more likely to give you something for nothing as steal from you

If you were hacked, why has your password not changed in the last 30 days? https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php

the honest truth is I have more important things going on than worrying about here,but will do it now

but the thing that gets me is without having a full conversation with me you just put down negative trust,I feel I should return the favor

So what you're saying is that your account was hacked, but you didn't feel a need to "worry about" changing your password and letting the hacker just keep access on your account? ::)

seems legit  ::)

 

If your account was hacked, how would it be possible to have a conversation with you? Or even know it was you?
Not caring enough to warn the community about the hack is a real chump move and any permanent Negative stating so would be warranted IMO.


EDIT: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1185139.0

185$ for a virtual knife?

Seems like someone needs to get a life, and soon before they tart coming.

I think he have multiple accounts here

Meh, that's not really any proof. Just because he bought something from another user and sent bitcoins to him doesn't mean that the seller is his alt; that may have been the case there.

When I said I had more important things to worry about I had a young sister die and was moved to stage 4 Cancer the same week.I will reiterate I had more things to worry about then.Re the Hacker the fool left his mobile phone number with google so the British police passed it on to Interpol along with other evidence they gathered from my computer so the Door knock is not far off.

and whoever stuck attempted scam better get it down or they might have to sell a lot of knives to pay there legal bill

just get a friggin life you bampot that transaction was over 10 months ago

The two accounts did not trade with eachother (at least this is not what this is proving). Shield is saying that the same person controlled both private keys of addresses associated with both accounts. The only issue is that the post on wdl1908 is very old and the account could be been sold multiple times in the meantime.

Although with that being said, there is this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=857670.msg10085032#msg10085032) post in which wdl1908 signs a message from an address of a found block whose outputs can be traced to the wallet that controls both addresses that shield quoted above.

While neither one individually would prove they are the same person, I think both instances looked at together would allow someone to reasonably conclude they are owned by the same person.

Not even going to reply to a complete load of shit he is writing

The truth causes you that much butthurt, eh? Good job destroying that account of yours, and btw, how did your GAW investment work out for you there Daffy?  :P

Looks like coinmaster222 has either sold this account and the new owner is trying to remove the Negatives or he's wanting to clean it up to keep/resell. Threats won't work with me.

Here we go this asshole again trying to get his 15 mins of fame with his bought account.Now bugger off a leave this forum in peace

I'm not posting just to post here.  I've read this whole thread.  Who bought what account?  Is KWH's bought?  Coinmaster?  It's not clear to me what's going on and I'm genuinely curious.

Short of it:
He was caught scamming awhile ago and today tries to bully me into removing the Negative.

I read through this thread too. Obviously he doesn't realize he is simply drawing undue attention to himself, thereby increasing the likelihood he will receive additional negative trust.

I asked a man who had nothing to do with anything to remove negative feedback he left as I was getting tired of it,he refused for whatever reason.I have never scammed anyone on here I dont need to I have too much money as it is

sorry for necro-ing an old post but you are way off base here

coinmaster222 doesn't know how to quote so he copy-pasted the message from hashtalk or wherever it was

doesn't mean he's daffy


not changing the password doesn't square with being "hacked"

trying to sell your account also deserves neg trust so it's not just one thing

you can forget about having it removed

I have no idea why this campaign of negativity persists,WTF is Daffy are you jealous of me just bored and F all else to do.Who said I was selling my account Jesus there is some asswipes on here.Right enough if your broke and married to some ugly 2 bagger suppose just negging others is at least fun because its the only fun in your life

yeah right... there is nothing to be jealous of

I was trying to say you're not daffy as someone alleged but I guess you're not very strong in reading

evidence of selling the account is in the OP:

first of all I have had this account since new and the account has been tried to be wrecked for months.I can read I asked who daffy was but as I said I am leaving negative feedback to people who carry this shit on

i guess its now a trend to sell valuable account and a way to rip a scammer is to sell them a high rank account and then tag the account as sold or potential scammer lol. totally get even with these scammers.  ;D

are you saying you didn't try to sell your account here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1185143.0
https://archive.is/yEhvP

and it doesn't matter who daffy is but if anybody should know then it's you because YOU quoted daffy's post...

This account and my computer was hacked 20/23 september when i was in hospital and 2.6 bitcoin stolen I have the police report

Statements like that also needs proof, you're not new here you're a HERO. most are paranoid if not all really so being cautious this time is part of every days action. You should back up everything that you sad here else, you just said another lie. This is going to be what it is now that scammers are doing it everyday as well.

you post something like you wanna buy, all newbies and ranked members with red trusts Pm you to go first! which is crazy.

Dear Mr xxxxxxxx

Pauline Smith Head of Action Fraud

National Crime Reference Number: NFRC150901183830

Every scamming was did during that period and the guy selling the knife was part of the fraud,they were not happy stealing they had to try and ruin my account as well

Then we get people who know nothing about it just add to the red trust.So as I said people want to continue to promote this fraud and theft I will leave negative trust.Especially things like "you post something like you wanna buy, all newbies and ranked members with red trusts Pm you to go first! which is crazy."Especially from someone with your feedback.You deserve neg trust but I will reserve my judgement till morning

how was MadZ ("the guy selling the knife") involved? do you have any proof? have you started a scam accusation thread against MadZ? can you post all PMs between your account and Madz?

see MadZ clearly has your PM asking to go first without escrow and you have only your word "the guy selling the knife was part of the fraud,they were not happy stealing" - stealing what?


your neg ratings don't matter especially when you just throw them around because your don't like someone

you put neg rating for me:


what does it even mean? what did I post on "peoples account"? ref link? what is the scam I'm trying to perform?

you sure don't make it easy to understand your side of the story

To be honest I dont really give fcuk if you understand it or not I am past caring.I have given proof it was hacked but you still go on.your now ignored

You don't give a fuck about your trust ratings? That's awful man. I feel for you  ::)

Whats the point in caring when you just get idiots on here believe what they want.I honestly dont care.It took about 2 years to get this account then you get clowns and thieves ruin it

well you didn't give a proof of being hacked. You posted something that looked like a canned response from action fraud and a crime report number... that could be a legit report but it's not a proof of anything.

that's not what I was asking though

you accused MadZ of fraud so I asked what fraud is that and what do you have to prove that.

I also asked you about the trust rating you posted for me... seems like you did care enough to do that so you might as well explain what it means.

If you can't even back up your own words how could anyone possibly believe your hack story. that's how trust works or in your case doesn't

take photos of the report and such is a better proof. its something that can't be altered. don't resort to image editing software cause it can be detected. anyone here knows how to edit images.

I have multiple emails from the police and one from action fraud I showed one of the emails without my private details,sorry not putting them up here.I have never defrauded anyone on here in fact I just gave away 150,000 doge in a faucet in 3 days before I sold it.

One other thing the guy who hacked my computer got the bitcoin from my account a CEX.IO my account had 2fa on front and back and CEX took the 2FA off cause he said he lost his phone.That is how trustworthy the company is.Just look at how this started Madz was selling a digital knife for $175 dollars,now who in there right mind would pay that.They had to make it a big amount to make it look bad on my account.The rest of the neg rep is from people who know nothing about it and just wanted to look good.

you accused MadZ of fraud so I asked what fraud is that and what do you have to prove that.

If you can't even back up your own words how could anyone possibly believe your hack story

I wrote below why I think he was involved,and personally I dont care if you believe me or not.You seem to take a great interest in this whats it to you

you keep accusing forum members with no proof whatsoever and your "why I think he was involved" doesn't make any sense

involved in what? hacking you? none of what you said explains any link that you claim exists

I'm just bored at the moment but if you don't want to embarrass yourself any longer then stop bumping the thread and go away

GTAFTYS and write one more bit of shit and you get more neg rep

I'm sick of your false accusations against me with absolutely no evidence whatsoever. The reason I haven't replied to this thread in a while is because it should be obvious to anyone with a brain that you had control of your account when you sent me those PMs. Anyone who doubts this should just look at the security log (https://archive.is/mAR4S) for the month of September. That link shows all password changes made between September 5th and October 5th. You claim to have been hacked around September 21st, yet there is no evidence of that in the log. The only time your password changed in that period was on October 3rd, over week after you supposedly had access to your account again (although you had access to your account the entire time, shown by the fact that your password hadn't been changed at all in September):


Even if your story is legit, I do not believe someone who refuses to secure their account for that amount of time after being hacked is trustworthy to trade with, so I don't see any reason to remove my rating towards you.

By the way, the item I am selling is worth the price I am asking for, don't speak about a market you know nothing about.

ok, that one is sorted out then. You post neg trust whenever you don't like someone or don't like what someone is saying. I figured as much

I'm guessing you're not going to provide any proof that MadZ hacked you? still a chance for you to turn this around.
