You mean in exchange for bitcoin?

Paypal doesn't allow it is a pretty strong motive...

Paypal actually allows the exchange of Bitcoins now. eBay also allows the exchange of Bitcoins, and Paypal owns eBay.

Did you check his trust rating before sending (it obviously says "Multiple scam allegations against this user. Never do business with Lubizix without escrow.").

CARDED? If you can send first PM me.

So you're knowingly purchasing carded items and actually seeking them out?
267  Other / Meta / Re: Shdvb - Potential Fake Feedback on: March 28, 2015, 05:25:23 AM
There are a lot of people who sign their PM's with "regards" and I would find it conceivable that people would sign messages in similar ways.

The tl;dr way to protect yourself from possible fake feedback is to only accept feedback from people you trust, and if your trading partner does not have enough of that then use escrow

Given all the previous evidence provided, all the users posts are in shdvb's thread (probably signed the messaged out of habit and didn't realize it possibly because he's been doing it so long), and the fact that this has been an ongoing thing for awhile, I'd lean more to the fact that shdvb is manipulating the trust and bump features to make his services look more popular than they actually are. This was a major problem from the previous sites he has been on.

As a practice, I will never give a payment address via Skype (etc) that is not GPG signed by me. I also have this policy posted on my forum profile, and this has been displayed for a long time. This way when someone either hacks my Skype account or is able to impersonate me via Skype or otherwise, without a PGP signed message with a payment address, it will be the fault of whoever supposedly sent funds to the scammer.

I personally do not trust the security practices of Skype or most email providers as they are not designed to be methods that people do business when one person send money via a way that cannot be reversed

That's correct to give a warning. However, if an account is still being used by you and is under your possession I think whatever happens on it is still your responsibility. Unless the warning would be mandatory to read before receiving your Skype name, but that wouldn't be possible as there's no features to allow it (and it also opens the door to fake scam attempts). It wouldn't stop potential people who you are selling something to you from being scammed either. People who have had business contacts for awhile will get a false sense of security when talking to you and be more likely to just conduct a trade without going through the proper measures, more so with what your warning is stating. There's still many scams that could be pulled off without providing a PGP signed message with a payment address.

I also don't trust the security practices of most instant messaging services or email providers. I've seen countless businesses that conduct business through Skype or other apps that are similar have their accounts hacked and used to scam unsuspecting victims.
From my profile:
Quote
Skype:quick.seller                I will never send you a payment address via Skype that is not PGP signed
It is not possible to see/get my Skype address without also seeing my disclosure about needing a PGP signed address.

If someone were to get a PGP signed address that was not signed by my PGP key (or one that does not verify) then it is their own fault for not checking. I have previously gotten payment addresses for a very large transaction whose PGP signature did not verify, and my response was that the person needed to resign the message before I would be willing to send funds to them.

Sure this could open up the possibility to fake scam attempts, however like you said the security for Skype (etc) is not the best and should not be relied upon, so instead of relying on their security, people should rely on the security of PGP.

There's a large amount of scams that can occur that wouldn't require a PGP signed message. Most traders do not have their Skype located in one place, they usually give it out in PM and post it around the forums. Unless they wanted to provide a message each time they gave their Skype name out then that wouldn't work (and people would also have to familiarize themselves with PGP). There would have to be a number of rules and guidelines put in place that would have to be followed, which would definitely not happen. Given all this and the condition fake scam attempts will likely occur regularly, it's more convenient and reasonable to just take responsibility for whatever happens on your account.

Does anyone find it suspicious that there is still constant newbie accounts posting on shdvb's thread and giving him feedback? Some of the new accounts created are still only posting in his thread.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583572.980

Example: This account has only posted in SHDVB's thread and finishes a lot of his messages with "regards" - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=463790;sa=showPosts

SHDVB finishes a lot of his messages with "regards" too

I think its already confirmed that if your bitcointalk account is hacked and used to scam then you are responsible. At least that's what I've always thought and what would be the most reasonable in my opinion. It seems there is some confusion though when using a 3rd party source of communication and it gets hacked and used to scam, people think they aren't responsible. In my opinion you're the one taking the risk and you should be held responsible, not the unsuspecting victim. It also opens the doors to fake scam attempts.

I am looking for 1 BTC through paypal.

E-mail : 1337.slackerc0de@gmail.com
Hi,

if you would like to buy BTC with Paypal / Credit Card on TOXCOIN, please consider to use a PayPal MyCash card or create a Payeerwallet.
About how you can exactly buy BTC with CC on TOXCOIN, please have a look at our short tutorial here: https://www.toxcoin.com/support/kb/faq.php?id=11

okay, thanks for reply
No problem Smiley

As no legit trader would use some of your purchasing methods with as much as a 59% mark up fee, it's safe to say you are knowingly assisting in the crime of money laundering. I'll be keeping close notes on this thread.
Hi,

the only payment method which has such high fees is PayPal MyCash. Any other payment method has "normal" rates like Bank Transfer 1.8% and e-wallets from 1.5% already. The high rates for voucher exchanges are normal, as Paysafecard for example charges already 20% merchant fees.
This fee is because of the many fraudsters out there. We've had serious trouble with Paypal accepting such cards and so it's very difficult for us to redeem them. We always recommend to use another voucher type like Reloadit or Ukash instead.

And we do not work with money launders. Our system has an internal fraud detection and if an order seems to be "fishy", it's manually being checked.
As we are a company in Peru, we need to comply with the laws in this country.
We just want to offer an easy way to exchange Bitcoins without much paperwork, as many people do not understand how to verify on exchanges and how to use them etc.

Greetings,
TOXCOIN Support


These are all the fees I could find where no legit trader would think of taking, unless they are crazy.

Paysafecard: 1:0.605 (39.5%)
Ukash: 1:0.605 (39.5%)
MoneyPak: 1:0.605 (39.5%)
PayPal MyCash: 1:0.405 (59.5%)
ReloadIt: 1:0.705 (29%)

You just said it yourself, the fees is for the many fraudsters out there. Looking for a way to cash out their funds. I agree that paysafe charges a high fee, uKash has some fees. The others are free to load. The only plausible reason someone would buy basically any of these to buy Bitcoin from your site is if they were to get them for free. That honesty makes no sense, no legit trader will take those fees. You fully know that.

My Skype is Hacked again
Please PM me Here for confirmation before any Deal !
I'm Not Responsible for any Scams Happen Unless You confirm its me by PM

For Security Reasons, I will never use skype once again



Many people use offsite methods of contact to conduct trades, and as you see stuff like above happens. It's actually quite easy to have your Skype account hacked. Dr Exchanger seems to have stopped using Skype (yet he still claims he's not responsible for any scams that occur if you don't confirm it's him), but there are many other people still using it and other forms of offsite contact to conduct trades. For future reference before a large scam occurs, I think it would be a smart idea to determine whether or not you're liable for repaying the victims if you're offsite form of contact is hacked and used to scam (Skype, Email, ICQ, ect.).

Edit: This should also be moved back to Meta as its discussion about the Bitcoin forum and measures that should be set in place to improve the overall security of traders who use 3rd party applications.
