Title: 2 monbux's
Post by: amartin99 on February 24, 2016, 10:04:19 PM
hello
someone is trying to get me to use monbux as an Escrow

pointing me to this thread  http://bitocintalk-topic303281.eu5.org
sure looks trustworthy

but this thread is listed as his Official Thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=631008.0

and though they have the same name they are not the same forum account
so im wondering what is going on ?

That is probably a phishing website, the payment address is also wrong. I suggest you do not deal with that user.

That person is a scammer. Make sure that you use the real monbux. Anything that isn't his official thread is not him.

I knew something wasn't right there
hated to openly accuse him of it but every time I look at someones trust page I see people getting accused of impersonating established Escrow people

got someone mad at me cause I would just rush and send $300 to that guy's BTC account
well at the moment im really glad to be a bit paranoid

Gj on your common sense. You never trust someone to tell you where to send money, you always deal with the Escrow directly, you never deal with an Escrow through someone, thats the whole purpose of an Escrow in the first place. The Escrow is the one you deal with, the Escrow will deal with the other person.
