if you sold bitcoins via bitmarket.eu to user that has moneybookers address grenouillette40@gmail.com i am informing you that he is a scammer
he sends money and after 6-7 days he cancelles the transaction
he uses different names like "Lerondel Carole" and "Cliff Rouvier"
so stay away from this guy

I have just sold to him some BTCs via foreign wire transfer. If he pays, he cannot then cancel the transaction, right?

@stemby Have you been paid? He just bought bitcoins from me as well…

I've seen him on bitmarket.eu. His prices are much too good to be true. Cancel transaction.

No, of course. I think I will wait 3-4 days.

the problem is that when someone buys on bitmarket.eu the bitcoins are "frozen". if you try to cancel the transaction the buyer also has to agree and grenouillette40@gmail.com doesn't agree to the cancellation.
so unless bitmarket admin doesn't manually cancel the transactions the bitcoins are "frozen" and can't be used.

hey,

i also just sold some bitcoins to the same person on bitmarket.eu.
lets keep us all posted whats happening. i am also going to wait some days, if no EUR arrives i will cancel the transaction also.

Hey everyone,

This person is indeed a scammer. I am just in the process of cancelling all transactions - looks like the guy was dumb enough to use his real ebay account and IP address to get verified. He's not getting away with it easily.

Awesome! First scammed via paypal, now moneybookers :S My moneybookers account was closed (cannot get a clear explanation from them, they are being cryptic) and all transactions reversed.

Have you ever thought about incorporating AlertPay?

why are you using bitmarket at all?

i use tradehill (atm just because they dont want to verifiy my account), just interested in the differences...

It is ridiculous that almost 50% of bitcoiners are only in it to scam the newcomers, scare them from the currency, and then our market diminishes.

Issues like this are what i'm trying to address in my 'why bitcoin' thread. It's why I'm very hesitant about BTC as viable for the average consumer.

If you had stopped at "... in it to scam the newcomers"  then I wouldn't be chuckling to myself right now.

Either way it isn't at all ridiculous; it's entirely predictable – it's the invisible hand of the free-market at work.

There will be always scammers - one will do it in big - like mybitcoin and mtgox

others will do it in small like this one here.

At the end - we end customers will be f...d up - that's the sad truth :(

How will this stop the scammer?????? Can't he just make a new gmail account??

This is a shame :( Is there anything that can be done to prevent stuff like this?

I emailed Moneybookers pre-emptively after reading similar cases. They replied with an explicit warning to not use Moneybookers account for Bitcoin purchase (or sale), due to the likelyhood of said account being suspended. Sorry for off topic OP, just wanted to chime in to mention this.

I can confirm that. MB disabled my account after i asked them whether they are fine with it.

This guy is a scammer as well...

He reversed a transaction on PayPal that we did on bitmarket.eu, just before they stopped allowing users to pay with it. I hadn't realised how easy it was to dispute money with PayPal. Have been using Moneybookers since then, without any trouble, but won't anymore.

Dear friends,

You only have 5 posts and you already offer a new service? I'm sorry but I'm not convinced.

This is so disheartening!

careful

all this does is hurt the btc cause

this is scary. I use MB for a few years now and recently also for btc trade clearing. I have a prepaid master card from them as 'backup' cash out possibility and use the service pretty much whenever possible. I should probably stick to use pizza instead of bitcoin on all reference text fields.
