Thank you, and I'm sorry my choice of seller wasted both of our time!

Indeed, This first buying experience through the forum has definitely been a learning experience. I’m very fortunate I went through escrow for this purchase. Though I wouldn’t have bought anything at all without escrow, unless there was an invoice through PayPal.

Obviously I’m biased, but I’m in agreement that enough time has passed and the situation has been thoroughly explained to the forum to the point where it is time to release my funds back to me.

Couldn't agree more! Thank you for weighing in.

Update with scam accusation thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2999715.0

I am the buyer in this transaction. This was my first attempted purchase through this forum and I believe some of my own foolishness/ naiveté contributed to making this a difficult escrow for OgNasty.

Shortly after escrow was initiated, Sherlock began communicating with me directly via email. Big mistake on my part. Sherlock was far more responsive via email than via forum pm and provided me with the "shipping" information over email. The "shipping" website provided was www.voanexpressltd.com . This immediately worried me, as I had never heard of this company and their website was incredibly shoddy. After some googling, this website was linked to a number of different scams/sites, a number of which actually shared the exact same website design elements. After asking Sherlock about these disturbing details, he stopped communicating with me via email. I also asked the same questions over PM with both Sherlock and OgNasty so that Og would have visibility and included the shipping details that Sherlock had provided directly to me. Sherlock never addressed these questions and, after a number of days of inactivity (over a week), replied that he had paid for shipping. That was the only detail he provided, not the shipping information he had provided to me nor new shipping information. It was also at this time that shipping information for my order started coming back as invalid on the site.

I have not received the Antminer R4 I attempted to purchase through escrow. I have not received shipping information which shows something has even attempted to be delivered (at the last update on the scam site it said the package was in the UK, no details on where in the UK nor information on what it was doing in the UK, e.g. customs, changing shipping partners...). In addition, the seller has still not provided any shipping details directly with the escrow OgNasty.

This has been an eye opening experience for me in regards to purchasing through this forum and I appreciate all that OgNasty has done to adjudicate this transaction, protecting both my BTC and providing the seller with an abundance of time with which to do the right thing.

I am cautious to provide the actual shipping number as when it worked, it showed my address.

Any chance you would ship to the USA?

My purchase from OgNasty has arrived and was as described.

Yes, he's looking into it now that the seller hasn't responded to his query, will give me an update soon on what he wants to do.

I would avoid if I were you. I attempted to purchase an Antminer R4 from Sherlock_er (this thread), and the shipping info is from a site pegged as a scam site. He also has stopped communicating and hasn't logged into the forums since Feb 9. If you must try and buy from this guy, use escrow like I did.

PMed

What was the price dropped to? I'm interested in buying your last one.

I don't either! I hope I'm wrong and it shows up. Maybe the plan is to use the site to say its delivered and try and convince Og to release the funds?

Escrow with OgNasty thankfully!

Edit: Still a little worried, no idea what the plan was given we're using an escrow. Hopefully I'm wrong and the R4 shows up at my doorstep tomorrow/Friday.

Have received shipping information. Should arrive tomorrow or Friday.

Edit: shipping is being done by "voanexpressltd.com" which appears to be a scam shipping company. Will update as this progresses.

Will update when I receive shipping information for my order.

PM sent!

Done.

Sorry, the process has started, he needs your BTC address.

PM sent!
