+1. OP it does look like the hologram has been tampered with to about half the coin width which could have given access to the private key.

Either contact who you bought it from or redeem it yourself and sell or keep the blank as Blazedout said. Nobody is going to buy it just in case someone does have a copy of the private key and redeems the bitcoin themselves after the sale.

P.S. If you do decide to redeem it and wanted to sell I would be interested in buying the blank if you retained some of the hologram.

He's been asked repeatedly for pics and hasn't provided any .

OP hasn't logged in for 10 days probably moved on to another username scam attempt.

I think that's why most people ask for 7.5%+ above Preev rate when buying btc for Paypal to cover fees and make a little profit on top.

For the record I wouldn't sell btc for Paypal to a newbie at any rate, far too high a risk of charge back. I would sell to established members with decent trust feedback though.

Looks like a blatant scam.

Newbie with 1 post, no photos, no mention of escrow, too cheap, message me.....

Yes I understand it must be a difficult market. I'll keep my eye out for your next auctions hopefully if I start saving now I might be able to afford one of your silvers . Any idea what you might be auctioning or selling?

I dont blame you buddy. Only way to get what you really want is to sell at a set price rather than auction.

Hey Blazedout if you've got any more at this price I'm interested .

He did, ha ha just noticed I said good pretty I meant pretty good .

I think Took got a good pretty deal there.

It would probably help with your sales if you had some trust comments from MCHouston and blackheart13 on your profile and Tomatocage could confirm he's escrowed for you in the past as looking at your profile you only have 1 negative comment which doesn't look very good. Also you havent left MCHouston or blackheart13 any feedback for their purchases.

Yes I think you could be right

It sure is taking a long time for those pictures

My mistake I hadn't read through the whole thread. At least escrow is being offered.

I've removed negative trust as you've now changed your password and TECSHARE has vouched for you.

I'd still recommend that you post photos with name / date of the things you have for sale.

I'm keeping my eyes out for old inactive accounts that start posting again especially with things for sale after the recent hack, I think we'll start seeing quite a bit of activity from these old accounts from now on so we all need to be super vigilant to try and protect each other from the hackers / scammers.

Bit worrying that you haven't posted since September 13 before today or changed your password since hack.

You didn't sell the last ones because you never posted any photographic proof of ownership, you just disappeared after repeated requests for the photos. Not a good sign.

I'm sorry to hear this, it really makes my blood boil criminals extorting bitcoin / money from people in this way. As advised above all you can do is wait it out I'm afraid.

Can you please let us know as many details as possible about your problem i.e. what its done to your pc or network, what message you're seeing, btc address you've been told to send payment too, how much are they demanding, do the criminals call themselves anything, did the infection come from an infected email attachment or download etc.

Well done OP this is a really cool idea I can't wait to play it .

When I've got some time over the weekend I'll throw some ideas into the hat.

I suggest you do some reading the subjects have been covered plenty of times.
