I agree 100%.

My mistake sorry I thought it was a long running one.

No its not you lol I'm over the top with suspected scams most of the time myself.

Its weird how it started with GoldBits being a new and user starting a self moderated thread and than deleting any slightly questionable post. I don't think for one second he's a new user more like an old hand playing a bit of a game or as mentioned starting a scam with one legitimate coin. He seems to have been on a bit of a wind up rubbing it in that he's sold the coin on page 2 of this thread without escrow and mentioning requiring escrow on other peoples threads.

I don't know why he would sell a coin under market value again unless it was just bait for a later scam.

I'm not sure why elianite would risk 4btc on what looked like a definite scam at the time especially with escrow being refused.

I then don't know why elianite didn't get proof of the sale at the gold dealer to show here especially as he was already being accused by some of being part of the scam. Unless the coin he received was fake but he didn't want to lose face.

I just don't know its all very strange and there seems to be lots of unanswered questions.

Yes I understand. Hopefully whoever is doing it stops soon.

Ha ha another scam tactic is to link to other well known btc websites in signature and / or profile so people might think they have something to do with it.

Lots of scammers offer escrow but when contacted try and avoid it or use a fake escrow.

They also know most people are greedy and are tempted with cheap stuff so on occasion someone will buy their non existent goods without escrow.

EDIT: Also people don't realise how difficult it is to obtain genuine Apple products to sell and there certainly isn't a massive mark-up on it.

You ok with escrow?

What on earth is wrong with people doing this .

Have you looked at cloudflare or something to block DDos attacks? I suppose it will depend on cost whether its worth doing.

Exactly, its the same old story if it sounds too good to be true it usually is.

I'm still scratching my head about this whole situation, it's the most bizarre set of circumstances I can remember on a selling thread.

Funny how so many people with cheap gadgets find this forum and have to start a brand new account to list them.

Not even any pictures this time and just because they say accepting escrow it doesn't mean they will because some people wont bother to use it.

100% scam until proven otherwise.

That's good

Now cant access front end at all. Think you are being well and truly DDOS'd my friend for some reason.

Perhaps check this out aTg: http://www.eukhost.com/blog/webhosting/how-to-check-ddos-attack-on-server/

Yeah yet another very lame scam attempt.

Yes that works. Now can't access through solomining.com again.

That picture could have been found anywhere and doesn't prove its yours without a piece of paper with your username and date on.

Can you make the pictures any smaller and are you accepting escrow?

Yes photo's would be good. And not just one or 2, we need proof of your huge stock.

I've only just been able to access it about a minute ago not before then. Seems to be up again now I can refresh the page.

I think this will be the one and only trade GoldBits does on this forum.

Looking at the latest post on his thread he's still asking for btc to be sent first and assume he's still not willing to use escrow.
