Title: Bitmit Scammer - Thekingfamily

I highly recommend everyone treads lightly with this user. He was ready to accept 2.5BTC for the 2x iPhones and 1 x iPad. He wanted me to make payment first to his Bitcoin / PayPal address. I firmly told him that I would not do anything without Escrow and that's when he said he wanted me to send money first to his Virwox so he could pay shipping costs.

I have no problem with people selling goods cheaply, that's not the issue here. The issue here is he's wanting people to send payment first.

Secondly, this is what set off another trigger.

I got outbid on that and there has still been no received feedback. You would think if someone was selling an iPhone they would want the buyer to leave feedback right?

Hopefully Bitmit support see this and no one gets scammed.

only about half of my buyers leave feedback on my bitmit page, just for reference, and i provide the best service and price in my niche.

I'm sure you haven't asked someone to pay out of escrow though, there's a difference. Updating this because there seems to be another scammer from the UK who's doing the same thing.

Check his feedback, no way you would cancel an item after it's been sent.

Also - check the feedback he left him...wanted help with postage costs...sound familiar?
