Bitcoin Forum

veteranBtc & RTaki
A while back I was contacted by RTaki and asked to split a loan payment of 1BTC each to a member called veteranBtc. I was skeptical of RTaki so I asked them to create a public forum which can be seen here... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=189807.msg1967813#msg1967813

I was a bit to eager and sent 1BTC to veteranBtc which he agreed to payback with 1.5BTC on the 6thMay. Although suspicious I was stupid and sent the BTC lol, I figured veteranBtc had normal looking posts and if he intended to scam from the start it was a lot of effort to ask for 1BTC. Well I was wrong and he has not paid back the loan, both users have not been active so the scammer has abandoned those accounts and is probably trying to scam more people with new accounts by now.

Also I should add that a user called majinx contacted me the day after my expected payment on the 07th with this message. Perhaps this is the same scammer? I wont be waisting my time with private message loan offers anymore lol.

Lesson learned, don't trust people.  :(

I see that veteranBTC is active on the forums once again after running away with your money. Just wondering if you ever got it back? If not he should really get a scammer tag.

It's normal to be active on this forum because I am not a scammer as he says.
I've paid him back! Maybe he is just trying to "ruin" people's accounts and for small amounts of bitcoins.

You did not pay me back, post up the transaction Id! It is clear that you went offline during the trade, don't think the mods are stupid. You are a scammer and I feel sorry for anyone who attempts a trade with you in the future. Your idea of ruining peoples account for Bitcoin is stupid, I have done numerous deals with larger amounts, without escrow and the buyer paying first.

You are the only scammer in my transaction history, lets hope you are also the last. I suspect you have tried contacting me with other scam accounts too.

@Dougie
Thanks Dougie for pointing this out, I assumed he would have a scammer tag by now, maybe the mods missed my post?

So what's the story here, some esl scammer organization/forum somewhere has banded together to make the fake "reputation management" offerings so that the individual members can later come and claim that

WTF? A scammer tag for what?. You sent me a PM that your repayment address is wrong, remember?
The loan was 1 bitcoin for 1,5 back. I've paid the loan, but now he ask for another 1.5 WTF?
I don't have any transaction ID because I've changed all my accounts!
Also, I don't have any business with users you've said.

Excellent, even Kruniac wouldn't have tried this one out.

Obvious scammer is obvious.

Both you and RTaki both disappeared after my end of the transaction. Maybe you two are disconnected but 'veteranBtc' you are a scammer. You are lying to the forums about any PM's suggesting I provided a wrong address. I think forum members can already see your excuses are fabricated.

Yeah I kinda gave up trying to point out obvious scammers. I mean there's already a thread that's stickied in the Lending section on how to spot scammers and the two in question fit the mold perfectly. Still apparently that's not enough for brand-new users to come in like big ballerz and start lending their coins out thinking they're going to get an easy 10% back on their money.  Here's a free tip: You won't.

Every time I'm referenced in a thread, my belly tingles. <3

veteranBtc just sent me a PM in regards to my loan request.  (here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=242020.0 )

Should I be weary of accepting it? 

I am new here, but have collateral and really want to get my hands on some ASIC USBs as soon as possible.  I doubt I will recover my costs, but this is more of a hobby and I'd like to recover as much as possible so I want them quicker than I can get them without a BTC loan.  USD loan is easy to get, but I can't turn that into BTC into group-buy as fast.

All I can say is he is a thief, he has lied to everyone in this thread and he will most likely scam again. I would not deal with him again regardless of the offer and I would advice you to do the same. Don't rush into deals when there is risk involved, that is the fastest route towards getting scammed lol.

interesting conversation today

I guess he is back to scamming lol, it is a shame he hasn't been banned by now but I guess more newbies deserve to learn their lessons. I have resorted to creating my own network just so I can ban idiots like this and network with decent people.

I just gave him negative trust since the trust feature wasn't live when I dealt with him, I recommend anyone else that he has scammed does the same.

Banned for what?
Why you don't admit that I've paid you that loan back?

That KID is crazy. I have sent him the contact of an escrower and he refuse the deal. This is scamming ?

Are you feeling good now "owenprescott" ?

Posting here was a complete waste of time!

So post the transaction ID and prove him wrong.

Any scammer can propose a legitimate deal, not that your proposal is legitimate, In fact from the looks of it your escrow buddy is probably another one of your scam accounts. Believe me I have better things to be doing then wasting my time with you but I don't like scammers, they are cowards.
