At first I felt bad for you, but getting scammed twice in the same way within an hour? I think you should stop doing trades on the net

Rule #0 Newbies, NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH OTHER NEWBIES, EVER. There are plenty of veteran members to do business with and ALWAYS use escrow. If you're a newbie and you're doing business with another newbie, there's a 100% chance that you will get scammed (or you're a scammer yourself).

you got scammed 2 BTC twice, or is it just alt accounts by the same person?

3 things.. 1st.. i don't have a skype.. second. i never spoke him regarding adding on a skype which i dont have. 3.. he never agreed to escrow so i rejected him. If this community is on that,.. then its bogus.

I'll give this guy the benefit of the doubt for now.  OP can you link "havi" on skype to this username on BCT?  A screenshot of a PM to you with him asking you to contact him on skype would suffice.

I wouldn't. I have reason to believe that Jank = greendots.

Tomato, I guess I don't know the backstory, but what evidence do we have that they are one and the same?  Because all I saw from the OP was that he did a deal with a guy on skype that went sour, but has no proof that that guy is this guy!

Hmm, yeah suspicious. I too would like some evidence linking greendots to the Skype name shown in the screenshots. Til then I'm giving greendot's negative rep to Jank.

Hey!  Someone actually listened to me for once!

Once again, I'm not saying that the accusation is true or false, just that we have no evidence and since that evidence has not been presented in a reasonable amount of time we should take the tag off of the accused for now! :)

Greendots is infact a scammer. I just recently went to do a trade, MoneyPak -> Btc for .9 BTC. As soon as he got the MP code, he said the BTC was sent. 30 minutes later, no BTC, and offline. Fucking ass hat.

I'm very interested. I have neg feedback because 1. Tomatocage gave me neg because i woudnt prove my btc balance... then i ended up proving it because I got tired of his crap.. 2 moneypaktrader.com ripped me from another member. He sold me an mp and then the user who gave it to him said it had a diff amount on it.. and it didn't. In all i lost the mp and my btc. I'm 100% trustworthy and i can pull out all proofs if needed.
