I've sent him 1btc, fyi. Pretty sure caffeinewriter has as well.
Were you ever paid back? |

Ah, I see. I thought you sent HIM the 20 BTC. Edit: Sorry you got scammed. In the future though, check this thread to learn how to easily an quickly spot likely scammers before doing business with them: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=119896.0 |

yeah seems pointless..
This seems legit IMO... I don't see him taking off with so little.....but who knows...
Could be legit. But then again people have scammed for similar amounts back when BTC was worth even less: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104633.0Edit: I think I'm wrong about it being worth less at the time. Too lazy to look at the historicals right now. |

In the time it took you to write this post and the followup reply, you could have just gone to the bank. You seriously need to borrow $2?

Wow, I just did a quick check and only 2 of the dozen or so loan requests on the first page in Lending seem to pass the smell check. Be careful out there, guys!

Transaction ID where you got scammed?
Edit: It's not that we don't believe you. But if you provide the transaction ID, we can at least follow the bread crumbs and see where the coins ended up and possibly help identify the culprit.

1. Account created within the last 3 months.
2. Low-medium message count with vapid posts
3. Use of a seemingly realistic first/last name as their forum account name
4. Signs posts with full name
5. Straight out of Newbie mode right into Lending (requesting a loan of course)
6. Straight out of Newbie mode right into Currency Exchange (PayPal, Liberty Reserve, Western Union)
7. Straight out of Newbie mode and selling gift cards of any kind
8. Any user blatantly claiming to be female
9. New user trying to sell an Apple iAnything
10. Sob stories asking for handouts
That might be a broad way to indentify a scammer since I fit all 10 and I am looking for investosr to invest real money (not btc) and sign up a contract with me. You registered in August 2011. Which 10 list items are you referring to? |

i think scammer mostly wont reply properly for doubtful question On the contrary, jackdavis1983 dragged out his thread for three pages before he suddenly "lost interest" in Bitcoin and stopped posting. Coincidentally, that's about the same time it became clear he wasn't going to get any hand outs. Funny how that works, isn't it?  |

Thanks for including me
but in the mean time newbie in here also be good
every one here in the starting is newbie
but anyway its kind of good thread
Right, and I included you simply because the timing of your request, your post content, etc matches the cookie-cutter filters. This doesn't mean you're a scammer -- you just fit the description. In fact, if there are any lendees that fit the description that didn't turn out to be scammers, please post them here and we'll start a separate section for them. |

Added your informative thread in my list of defaulted loans above. This thread is almost sticky-worthy at the main marketplace section, especially if you would extend the guidelines to deal with all general dealing (goods, etc) and not only loans.
I only briefly touched on what to look out for with goods (gift cards, Apple iAnything) but most damage can be mitigated by using escrow when it comes to trading tangible items. For coupon codes/gift cards that might be purchased with stolen CC info it's harder to avoid being scammed. My advice would be to stay away from new accounts offering such digital goods and stick with established resellers. I also added to the list of suspect threads/users in the OP. |

Gosh, he seemed so legit too. It's too bad nobody warned you in advanced.

Guys, the language is often harsh in this forum. This is scary for the newbies. Can we have more respect for each other?
Go fuck yourself, you cunt. ^^ ROFL I like this guy... |
