Bitcoin Forum

I have it in hand in USA, post offers in btc. I'm escrow or use ognasty for 1% you pay.

For anyone that wants to buy, I will point it to your pool until shipment so there's no delay, no escrow though for this deal.

No PSUs, 1 EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 and 1 EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 recommended.

Buy it now: 9 BTC

Probably looking at over 10 right now

At the best I want to make a profit with the thing. At the worst I want to break even.

I'll post pics soon

I'll give you 7BTC and promise to point it at mmpool..  :D

If you just bought these to flip them, I'm confused as to why you didn't just cancel your orders and get a refund from KNC.

At 10k per unit, you would have received a lot more than 10 BTC per unit by choosing the refund option.

i dont think people got refunds so i thought getting in handsomething was safer

Those seeking refunds early (in March and April) received refunds relatively quickly and without questions. I was a bit taken aback with the "no questions asked" refunds being taken seemingly to the extreme, without so much as the traditional "is there anything we can do to keep your business" kind of question. Mine were refunded in the same way I paid, minus bank fees. A friend was refunded in btc so he cashed out fairly well. My guess is that as trickle of refund requests turned into a flood, the claimed delays, queues and lies increased as the refund rate decreased, most likely due to two reasons: shock (so many requesting refunds) and greed (self explanatory).

Yeah i stuck thinking we had hash while you wait in april

I wish you the best of luck. KnC traded on the success and good will they built in the community with the Jupiters to sell the Neptunes. All evidence shows they got bitten by the gold btc bug after that and decided to screw their customers as they'd soon not need them anyway. After the datorhall began producing millions for them, they no longer needed, nor barely cared for the customer. They probably only produced the Neptunes to stay out of prison, and for their own uses of course.

Karma has a well known reputation, and I and I'm sure many others hope that Karma will be paying all of the rotten people at KnC a visit soon (e.g. Sam and others at his scheming level) leaving the very few good ones there alone (way down the line and probably underpaid workers).

Wait how many for sale again?

Also where are you located? It would be nice to do a local deal if you are near me.

A Neptune turned out to be 5 chip boxes
West coast

You still wanting 10 BTC?

Yeah

nothing less?

I'll lower it next month

8.2BTC

Getting there

Great offer, I would take it now..

Pm check, thanks.

This would be good for you who don't like buying Bitcoin and want to mine and hold
Ill take cash

Who did that??

A scammer who registered the name bitp0p pretending to be the OP, bitpop.

And you did send 8.2BTC to the scammer  ???

OMFG!!!

I am a fucking idiot.

I give 10 Btc for anyone find him.

https://blockchain.info/address/18U7p93Nz8FbUHVX1DpzgPK3xLJu81k2bM

Damn. I hate a fucking scammer.

Bounty 10BTC for anyone that will find him.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=667325.msg7536414#msg7536414 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=667325.msg7536414#msg7536414)

Jesus!!! How many more scams will these forums allow????
Mods!!!! Implement a natural expression where if a newly created userid is like an existing hero member id, have another mod look at it for possible scammer, and/or disallow sending any pm or post for an extra x number of days... Unbelievable.... Use that forum btc stash!!!

I can't believe it.

I'm sorry for your loss, tzortz. That sucks.  >:(

In the future, it's almost always better to do these type of deals in private via PM because then scammers don't have enough information to pull this type of thing off.

Wtf, I would laugh at similar case, and now I am the victim.

I cannot believe I got scammed.

Wtf

Why would you magnify your loss? I'm sure people would try to help you track down the scammer for ~4 BTC, so why would you want to offer 10 BTC and lose another 1.8 BTC if the scammer is caught?

I don't get it.

Because I am so mad now.

And want him to be found asap the motherfucker.

If I were you, I would take a deep breath and lower your bounty so you recover some BTC and don't lose more if the scammer is caught.

Perhaps you can check with the forum mods to see if they can give you information about the scammers ip address, and see if it matches any other forum users ip address? I'm sure it is logged by the forum.

I pm'ed them. And waiting now.

Thanks for your advices, I appreciate it.

Sorry for your lost

Interesting. Noticed this has been happening. There is someone or a few people that stalk for sale items and try to impersonate the sellers. They get lucky sometimes. They almost scammed one of my buyers on a previous sale but he caught the difference. 

Be sure to leave negative feedback and the OP of this post should leave the account negative feedback for impersonating

Example. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=324296 tried to impersonate me before

Thanks, but there has to be some solution to that.

It cannot happen forever.

Zero member should not pm for at least 10 days.

Sorry to hear you got scammed tzortz, that really sucks.

I think the forum should implement some changes to new membership names to combat this type of fraud.
Scammers just substitute a zero for an O, or add a tiny character like ` on the end of a known name.

The coins haven't moved yet, so that's good.

Have you sent a threatening PM to the scammer yet asking them to return your coins?

It's a long shot, but I'm sure they are monitoring this thread, and considering they just stole over $4000 they may return them if they think they are close to getting caught.

I'm sorry he stole from me too now that he took what you could have paid me
Please verify pgp keys, even though I'm escrow, I'll still conduct a proper escrow for us

I agree with this. This should be raised to the moderators. All new accounts should not be able to send private PM's for X number of days. Should be able to be done very quickly.

In the meantime, monitor the coins. If it gets moved to coinbase or some registered account that you can track, you might have some hope.

I have pm ed theymos, and also pm ed the scammer for returning the amount.

Thanks guys for your help.

Maybe it was bitpop  himself ? Seems sketchy to me , look at it from all angles.

No because i would sign it with pgp

I've just registered a few names similar to mine so this wont happen again
Anyone have more suggestions for similar names?

Leave feedback https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=348629

i dont think you checked the negative box

Why would you talk to yourself?

marked as scammer.

+1 to that!  Reading this makes me want to grab a baseball bat and hit something

Hate hate hate to see this happen. 1+ to implementing some kind of security to stop this. With any kind of website every account you sign up with will register an IP address. Perhaps the mods could report it to the authorities? Still a long shot with Bitcoin being anonymous. A way to stop this could be as simple as making new accounts wait 10 days to PM. When someone posts a [WTS], most of the time within 10 days it is sold, preventing scammers from creating phony accounts.
Thanks,
Jacob

Sorry to hear this I gave you an upvote on reddit. Let's find this f-cker

as said deep breath and wait....
Bitcointalk MUST appoint escrow services this way cases like this will be over.

Not to be a dick, but why didn't you notice the missing avatar, post count, rating, sig, etc.. and you didnt use escrow?!?!?!

Sucks it happened this way but I bet its the last time it will happen to ya. Always double, and triple check everything.. and for Gods sake, USE ESCROW PEOPLE!!!!

Bitpop is supposed to be an escrow.

Honestly i can see the mistake happening... if he was on a tablet it would have been rather easy to miss..
but 10k for 3th thats a bit much ... Id be content to just wait a a few weeks these will drop in price and the 6th should be hitting somewhere around then.

oh snap.
sorry bro.

You signed up to this site from a certain IP adress.
Is it possible for mods to do an IP trace?
IP->ISP->Scammer's adress->catch that little bitch

The mods do not respond at all.

This is not good.

Sadly the guy probably used tor

This blows

I don't know how scammers live knowing people are wishing them dead, karma is a bitch

Relax a little knowing that the coke he buys will be tainted and kill him

1 unit sold

Another unit still available

how much ya get for it?

Around 10

nice...gratz

around? thats misleading .. 7 8 9 are all around 10

not sure if buyer wants to release that, 9-11

To whom did you sell that?

Is it that confidential?

Bitpop this is not good.

Looks like that everything was set-up.

In bitpop's defense, if I had purchased something from him I wouldn't want the information released without my permission, including the price paid and identity. That's what's called a "private transaction" between private individuals.

ognasty can confirm there was a sale, ill ask buyer if he wants to post

Yes, it is a national secret.

I will ask ognasty.

he never posted here so im keeping it private, ognasty was escrow and can confirm

Confirmed.  I have received funds that I am currently holding in escrow for bitpop.

Can you please confirm the time and date that was done?

yesterday morning

I'm sorry for your loss but please don't think im involved
I'm very honest and been here a very long time with 0 issues

Even my own account or any escrow can get compromised directly
PGP is critical to gain trust

well just by the escrow we can guess he paid 10btc :D

Ognasty doesn't exactly segregate escrows lol

hehe...unless the buyer had ognasty pm him with diff. escrow addy...oh well...no big deal if we know how much he paid anyways...buyer got a good deal...6k for in hand neppy...not bad...considering knc wants 6k for new that'll ship god knows when lol

Yeah i hate being private, I usually do everything public and transparent
I'm not releasing buyer of course but price was 11

10 for Neptune
.89 fedex overnight Saturday delivery
.11 ognasty fee

I'm awaiting 10.89

I'm saying this because buyer never explicitly said private but did use pm and buyer and escrow agreed to use escrow public signature address, full disclosure

For anyone that wants to buy another I will point it to your pool until shipment so there's no delay, no escrow though for this deal

Ugh...I feel rather sick just reading this thread.

If it means anything, reading this will help to remind me to look for scams like this in the future and to take extra precautions.

Always pgp, even my account can get compromised but it's never happened

And pgp is only useful if you store it before

Try BTCrow a third party escrow service, I have used them a lot.

Still wanting 10 BTC for this? I believe you said you would lower it next month, which is now this month  ;)

probably lower it to 9.99 :P hehe
