As some of you know (but most probably have not), i have a very unfortunate situation with betcoin.ag casino (in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5284557.0 i explained how they stole around 1 btc from my loosing account with them). I am a new user, and obviously this DreamerBT user has tried to use this situation and my frustration to scam me even more.

As you can see from the screenshots, he pmed me shortly after my thread was posted and try to persuade me to contact this "support manager" of the casino that closed my account. Of course he provided me with the fake Telegram handle.

At that time i wasnt suspecting anything so i did contact this guy on Telegram eventually. Our conversation on Telegram you can also see in the screenshot above. Fortunately enough (even though the joy of getting the justice done almost did scrutinize my ability to think straight) i did spot the deception and tried to "play" with that scammer. Its all in the screenshot anyways, but was left out (coz its very very tall picture), is how that "agent" always denied my requests to send the btc address by email to me. I also offered to send Western Union ;)

I tried to pm the scam forum admin, but still got no reply.

Anyways, i m glad i could be of any use to this awesome community (as i am a very very recent member). People like this, who try to take advantage of the already unfortunate deserve only the worse (if i did any mistake in judgement, please feel free to correct me).

I also want to express my sincere gratitude to this community and all its members. I really appreciate that some of you came to that thread i started (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5284557.0) and supported me in the uneven fight with a casino. The betcoin.ag representative is doing everything to deceive there, but most of you guys can spot the scammers and express your support for me in the thread.

THANK YOU.

PS. Should i be worried of the scammer's backlash on me in my fight with the casino topic?

It's your fault that you even went to trust a person who has something like this in his Trust profile (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=2596530)

Although this is just another in a series of confirmations that the user is a scammer, I have no doubt that he will continue to find his victims through the PM forum.

Most of those appeared after my incident i think. That is the day the scammer went all in i presume ;)

but yes, totally my fault.. would never guess need to check the trust system for what looked to be an innocent pm comment... but no harm done, the scam was too obvious

After seeing your previous thread scammers are trying to get some easy money from you by showing wrong guidelines. If you make mistake from your side and let them play their money stealing game then no one can save you from getting scammed. After having a experience like that I don't think still you will believe on strangers who are trying to help you for their own benefit.

I don't know you have checked "DreamerBT" trust page before following his instruction but its the only way by which you can justify someone. Good to see that you haven't put your foot on his trap. Anyone can contact you and say that he is a team member of Betcoin.ag but you will have to justify it from your end.

I will suggest you to use small size images which will help thread visitors to read your topic without too much scrolling.   

i wish i knew how to do that ...

zikzik, to resize images just use this code and adjust values.

Just another fake support from scammer who pretending to be a site's support. There is no way the support prefer to contact you through telegram instead email.

op you are deluded

What a trick this is! I saw in many groups some active scammers don't do late to pm first after joining that groups. But rarely the scammers try this way to scam as I see. This make us a new sense to aware. But I can not understand why op agree to try his suggestions after seeing his trust ratings.

Ignorance on how scammers works excuses no one, if some one pm you the first rule of the thumb is to check his trust rating, check if the password or email has changed and get a testimonials of the member whom he transact lately, if you got scammed then the blame is on you, this section is the place to be if you are involve in transactions, check how they scam people and who they are.

Next time before you engage in any kind of transaction here in Bitcointalk learn how to read the user's trust feedback it visible to anyone with an account here clicking the "trust" under the profile page will help you see both trusted and untrusted feedback under their names this should help you decide for yourself how trustworthy this user is. Just take this as a learning experience and I think you knew from the start that something fishy was going on and you still bite which was the wrong move you did.

Since you are very new to Bitcoin and to this community, be much aware that scammers will try to shoot you through PMs here, and will also try to lead you on other social media platforms.
That user seems to be helping you, but you know from his first statement that he is trying to lead you away from the community and try to talk about the issue privately, which is not good for you.

Be more familiar with the trust rating that a user has, on the case of DreamerBT, you will notice that there is a red-colored negative number on his profile.
This is an indicator that you should be more careful on dealing with those kind of user.
Also, always verify if you are talking to a legitimate support.

thank you for all your suggestions, i will certainly use them.

In this case no harm done, as i could spot the scam as soon as there was money in question.

I will be more careful in future, THANK YOU
