Received this PM shortly after making this thread way back when. I assumed it was the same guy trying to squeeze more BTC out of the situation.
Which account sent you the PM? Yeah that might be useful info, eh? My bad. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=205367TheMaze Has legit feedback from several people, but I don't know. Received a PM with the offer on Dec 31st, so my paranoia was still on. |

What was the name of the escrow company?
There's a few scams where someone claims to sell something of value but you have to pay the escrow company to ship it. It's a common Craigslist scam.
This was more of the person literally not having enough fiat to pay for shipping. They asked me to send coins so they could liquidate them for hard currency to pay for the shipping of the item. Like I said in the update, the user claims to have sent it and that the tracking number isn't working. I'll make prompt updates to this thread if the situation changes. |

Update - user suddenly messaged me after creating this thread and claims to have sent the collateral, but the tracking ID isn't working properly. I will remove this thread and my negative Trust if this user turns out to be legit.
After not hearing a word for two days, I didn't know what else to do but assume I got hit for 0.06 BTC. We'll see how it plays out.

Stock updated. 11 1x-16x are now available.
Stock updated - I didn't examine the new 1-16x cable I received. It is NOT powered. |

Update: Read next post - user has PMed me claiming to have sent it. If this turns out well, I will remove this thread, my negative Trust, and offer an apology. What happened:: User created a Loan Request thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=440213.0. Due to the user having collateral, I decided I would back a portion of the loan. I corresponded with the user regularly, and we agreed on the user sending an iPod and a laptop as collateral on the portion of the loan I would back. The user talked me out of sending the iPod, which was fine with me (I would just reduce the loan amount to compensate). The user then gave me a story about how he needed money for shipping. At first I refused, and pointed out that BTC wouldn't pay for his shipping, then the user sent screenshots of PMs between himself and escrow.ms regarding a trade he was setting up - 0.06 BTC for however much in Rupees. I sent the coins to the user, he sent the coins to escrow.ms, then responded back that he was awaiting his payment. The next day, the user messaged me back with a story about oversleeping. He then messaged me later saying he would provide the shipping info (tracking number I'd imagine) soon. That's the last I heard from him. I've sent him numerous PMs over the past two days, with no effect. The user has been online (although making no more posts, which leads me to believe he is using PMs to attempt to scam more coins) and hasn't responded to me. I'm making this thread after the user was online for about 3 hours, then logged off without responding to me. Scammers Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=209050Reference Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=440213.0Amount Scammed: 0.06 BTC - not a large loss, but annoying nonetheless. Payment Method: None - sent coins. He received a bank transfer from escrow.ms for the coins. Proof of Payment: https://blockchain.info/tx/bf27dcf8f1c231bb74f75cf28682e178565e9e9ecb63133ec66eee9bb4df2178Then his transfer to escrow.ms https://blockchain.info/tx/25b60e27cb0c3b748141af2aa0109f5f3e942a16541b9faa3c11152af634f473PM/Chat Logs: http://imgur.com/Ox6fxAF,PpO7rSy,gbPxMuh,w9H8QS8,xpec9oM,p09RNxaScreen caps of the various PMs he sent. I can provide full caps of both sides if there's any doubt about the scam. Additional Notes: I'd just like to point out that I only mention escrow.ms for transparency on what happened. I didn't get him involved in any of this because it's frankly not his problem or any of my business who he is doing business with. He received some BTC and sent payment. The fact that the payment was supposed to go towards shipping has nothing to do with him or his transaction. Obviously, this is my fault. I even explained the situation of "You're flat broke, you admit you're flat broke, you want a loan, and now you're asking for BTC for shipping". I was hooked in by the legitimate nature of his pending trade with escrow.ms, and that "put me on the spot". Just another lesson learned - don't send BTC to loanees under any circumstances without collateral. I'm making this thread simply so that this user can be exposed as a small-time scammer (he was eager to send "collateral", as I believe the scam was just the shipping money story - a scammer doesn't care how much they make, as a payday is a payday.). Hopefully, escrow.ms will dump the user's personal information (from the bank transfer) so that other users can be on the lookout for any sale requests from this person. Freezing him out of being able to sell his (probably stolen) BTC via bank transfers would be a plus. I'd expect this person to be back with another username hitting people in about a month.

Bumping once again. Come and get your powered risers, folks. Bulk deals are available - just ask away.  |

Wow.. my post got deleted? The TS is selling risers but he's sold out and I'm just saying perhaps someone still wants them and is looking for options.. let's talk about that (or pm)
Yeah, mine did too. Amusing that you can't advertise in someone else's thread if that person is sold out of the same goods you're selling. You'd figure that would make a nice alternative. |

Hey folks. I have 10 1x to 16 Riser cables and 10 16x Riser cables for sale. I don't have any pretty markups in this post - this isn't a "store", this is me unloading 10 1x to 16x cables, and 10 16x cables. I noticed how quickly these seem to sell around here, and have procured some for resale to turn a small profit. Prices are as follows: 1x to 16x - $14 + Shipping 16x - $14 + Shipping 1x-16x Unpowered - $10 + shipping All orders will be shipped USPS. I'm offering 10% off to anyone who wants to buy all 20 cables at once. I accept BTC as payment. If you are not willing to pay before shipping, then we will use an escrow, provided that you pay the fees and you accept the extra delay in shipping time. I'll say that once again for clarity (scammers, read this). If you are NOT willing to pay BEFORE shipping, we will use an escrow, YOU will pay the fees, and you will accept the extra delay in shipping time. All items are shipped in sealed plastic. Pictures are as follows (Sorry for the quality - bad lighting and the plastic makes for bad pictures):   Please respond here in the thread if you want to make an order, or PM me if you have questions about the cables. I will update this thread as the quantity I have in stock goes down. |

I can't believe I'm seeing this for sale. I LOVE deer jerky. My family always used to have it made from the hunts around here when deer season was in. PM me info about your prices. I'm down for some jerky. If everyone had the same mentality as you the world would be void of all living creatures. And if everyone had the same mentality as you, we would all be assholes. |

Does Google Wallet allow for disputes / chargebacks?
A simple google search is all it takes. Chargebacks work with Google Wallet the same as anything involving a credit card. The chargeback is filed, then Google Wallet attempts to "dispute" the chargeback using any information the seller provides. Seems risky. |

Hello, I started using Bitcoin yesterday, and I am trying to get a handful of bitcoins so I can learn how to use it. If I send you $10 by PayPal (which I know is a no-no, but I'll risk it), will you give me like 0.005 Bitcoins? ..or something similar? I am just trying to get a handful so I can make transactions between wallets and see how it all works. Alternatively, I can provide you with some web hosting, if you need a website? I will accept Bitcoin as payment: followfolks.com P.S.I currently don't know how to make transactions, but I have 2 wallets. One called Multibit and one from Blockchain. So, I am yet to figure out how to receive Bitcoin payments (which is why I want to get some Bitcoins, so I can experience it and learn). Any direction on how to receive the Bitcoins would also be appreciated. P.P.S. Please don't rip me off. I am a noob P.P.S. I promise I am not a scammer. I'll give you any details you want from me. I just want to get a handful of Bitcoins to practice with. Just post your wallet address somewhere. Anyone can send BTC to that wallet address. If you have two wallet addresses, you can use either. |

This is just laughable - I mean come on who is going to be stupid enough to fall for this?
Yup, haha. At least TRY to make it seem like you're legit. i will try my best i just never use that before, donot want to get scammed , anyway i am still buying atm You have a pretty sexy scam accusation thread open on you. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=424703.0it isnot me mate Oh okay. I thought because it was a similar name, with a similar MO, and a similar method of doing PayPal "transactions" it might be you. Because those pretty much add up. *Edit* Also, if I remember correctly, I contacted you to do some business and you wanted BTC up front. Just saying. You should probably add that into your OP so that people are clear about you receiving coins ahead of time. Especially considering that you can use an escrow provider on these forums with minimal fees and avoid the whole "who sends first" problem. |
