Title: Trading scammed me 150 USD.
Post by: Joshster on May 07, 2013, 12:52:55 AM
Was selling him 1.23 BTC and I sent it to him and he run off with my Bitcoins.

This post is a retaliation for these posts of mine:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=196473.msg2055029#msg2055029
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=197188.msg2055018#msg2055018
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=197431.msg2054979#msg2054979

The op is accused of scaming from two people:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=196082.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=192971.0

And now I know he is a liar, since I would never trade with him. Therefore, he won't be able to trade here again with this account, because I'll be there posting on his thread every time.

Of course he can't post the transaction id, it never existed.
I was already pointing out that he had accusations of scamming two days ago:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=196082.msg2039445#msg2039445
And he didn't deny those accusations: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=196082.msg2039306#msg2039306

Pay me scammer.

Everything indicates that you are the scammer in all these situations. Simply because you are unwilling to disclose your supposed transactions.

Anyone will believe that after I pointed out that he was accused of being a scammer two days ago (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=196082.msg2039445#msg2039445) that I would accept to trade with him? Or that he would accept to trade with me? I wrote him 4 days ago before knowing that he was accused of being a scammer about one of his threads, but he never answered me.
Posting false accusations only shows to everyone what kind of person he is.

No one believes him. He will be banned shortly, no worries Trading.

The fact that he hasn't already been banned, or at least had a scammer tag attached, is kinda worrying.  The OP has continued to post in the marketplace for a week after the first accusation occurred, and 4 days since a second, unrelated accusation was made.  In 4 days one could potentially initiate a fair amount of trades...

Posting evidence of the transactions could help nailing him. This thread shows how easily is to accuse someone. And he is stupid, because he could had invented a much more credible accusation. He has other alts on the forum (probably, he is this guy: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=198421.0), I'm still expecting for another thread against me, because I'm going to keep ruining his scams.
And we have in this thread another example of how a scammer accuses his victim (jetset220:in the middle time, it seems his account was hacked and is being used by a scammer: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=198321.0) or another person of being a scammer. It's a typical reaction: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=194393.0
Thanks to Rawted and Malawi for their support.

The Op of this thread is so stupid that gives pity. He could make a different account, make some posts and then came back accusing me or one of his victims (and I'm expecting he will do that after being tagged as scammer), but no, he uses an account of a notorious scammer to make this ridiculous accusations. They only make me laugh.

Thanks Fractalrationality, but I think he indeed is referring to me and to the victims that are complaining against the scammer joshster, but as crumbcake says the scammer MartinReynolds and the scammer joshster are the same person. He confessed that here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=197430.msg2066486#msg2066486
So, it's just a scammer using a different account to accuse his victims. I'm expecting him to open new accounts and accuse me again. But that will be great, because I will know it's him and will get him tagged and/or banned again. It's taking some time, but it's going to happen.

Yeah, hence the edit.  Luckily, my trade with Joshster was done through Pokerstars, where he gave me his legitimate pokerstars username.  Being a professional poker player has its uses, having spent most of last year living in London also has its uses.  I'll be taking the further on my own.  GL.

Sad to see all these scammers popping up. This needs to be fixed.

Fractalrationality, if you have any email address from him or email with IP, please post it. A search can always give out some more results. We will have that as soon as Theymos ban him, but more info can always help.
