Title: Beware of User "Amanda" for Trading
Post by: ocminer on November 05, 2011, 12:24:52 PM
Just wanted to let you know that "Amanda" is a scammer, I've send him 20 BTC and should receiver PP in turn but never received anything and now he's not even repyling to my mails/pms even though he's constantly online.

Here some evidence pics:

As you can see he is refering to "mc_lovin", I never had contact with him, don't know if you can trust him or not.

Just make sure you dont do any deals with "Amanda".

Ah, theres your first problem. Why would you send someone BTC which is irreversible before getting your paypal?

I've personally done a transaction with Amanda, and can only say good things.
She ordered a few products from my Self Defense shop https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=50051.0
Sent me the BTC beforehand, and I shipped to her address in the Netherlands.

By the way, Mc_Lovin is a member of this forum, who I've also done 2 completely successful transactions with.

EDIT: Amanda may in fact be a scammer as per https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=50051.20
She may have scammed ocminer into 20 BTC and used those funds to purchase products from me.
Because I already shipped Amanda's products, I have offered OP free products from my store to compensate, even though Im not required to.

Well I trusted him and that was my mistake, I still did not receive anything and my 20 BTC are gone.

I've learned from that and will never again send BTC before I've received the PP.

The best thing about it is that Amanda just keeps on scamming, why didnt he post something here ?

Serves you right IMHO. TBH people like Amanda are doing a PSA around here ( place full of scammers ) : DON'T TRUST ANYONE !

You're right. The pity is, that people KEEP ON scamming here even though you reported them to the mods .. Thats why scamming works...

I told everyone on 2 or 3 different threads of his that he was a scammer, too bad people don't listen.

Thanks Yankee,

I really appreciate your move and will look forward buying something from you, but I'll pay for it as it was my fault with Amanda so you could not know that he payed with stolen BTC, it's the same in real-life :-)

Also noone is helped with if there are no consequences for Amanda, scammers will just continue their "work" if the mods dont care.

I delivered all kind of evidence to one of the mods.. I dont know why nothing happened.

So if Amanda doesn't respond you could make that address public?
Just saying :D

Sure, if the Mods, Admin or OP requests it I will PM the info and they can choose to make it public.

That's all on you.

Just a quick update:
As of last night, we finally gathered enough incriminating evidence that objectively proves, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Amanda is a scammer. As a result, this case is now closed and the moderation team fully supports releasing any information that can help bring this scammer to justice in reality.

Thats all the info I have, thanks

Whaaa all of a sudden I'm getting name-dropped by Amanda??  I never did any transactions with HIM but HE did sign up for my forum under my recommendation, and he was asking users on my forum to purchase large amounts of bitcoin using Paypal and I privately advised them that Amanda is not someone to be trusted at the moment..  And Amanda is now SCAMMER label on my forum in 3..2..1..

Thanks for the rep, Yankee, you are most awesome.
