Tried Buying Bitcoins and Got Scammed TWICE..

Middleman and by someone else that got banned and deleted.

Just a warning to some of you noobs.. Be careful ffs..

Thanks for the info ;D

That's why I'll just stick with an established exchange for trading BTC.

Yea, no reason at all to do anything else. Every other method IS a scam.

I trade a lot on #bitcoin-otc.  Works fine, but always check ident and ratings.  Long time users rated by many (beware of short time users with few and very high ratings by other short time users), can be considered safe.  Be very careful with anyone else.

Where did you get scammed, or maybe that is impolite to say in a forum?

That's sad mate, thanks for the info anyway.

how does #bitcoin-otc work? Do you just do a bank transfer and get bitcoins???

vultures everywhere. never do pp

sucks for you but how many scams does it takes for a idiot to turn on the light

That's very alarming mate. Have you reported it though? Just be cautious next time.

Maybe it would be better if you still share how you got scammed? That would help others be able to pick out the scams more easily.

This thread is old! It's also unclear if he really was scammed or just tried to get someone else in trouble. Look at these two threads:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=33455
DiamondPlus states in both threads that he got scammed, but the sellers are not labeled as scammers. It's even said that "DiamondPlus was offering people large sums of money to say that he was an honest trader". In one case both parties never got to the trade (the trade never happend because both parties couldn't agree about the trade conditions) and DiamondPlus started a thread blaming his trade partner as scammer for a trade that never took place.
