John K on the forum is a trusted member which offers a escrow service, check the thread under the 'services' sub-forum.
You might want to send him a private message, to see if you can work out a deal.

You don't understand do you, losing any amount of money is not nice.
That 0.1BTC might be worth $12 now, but in the future it could be worth a whole lot more.
And even if it isn't what's the difference? A scammer has to start somewhere.



To the OP,


Could you please provide more evidence on this deal, conversations, Transaction Id etc.

Why don't you offer Karma coin gift codes? these can be used for thousands of game currencies.

So hang on a minute,  you ran a escrow service before.

So, I'm guessing you already have some BTC, why do you need the whole 8BTC, haven't you already got some BTC?

That's right, he's on the scam list and has a couple of threads pointing out he's a scammer.

Haha, reminds me of the film dummer & dummer, brilliant quote.

firstly,Have you contacted saudibull?

I see in the thread you said you were going to repay, but there was no cofirmation off anyone of you on that thread.

I have already been to san francisco on holidays and I loved the area, that is actually one place where I was thinking of moving anyway...hmm decisions.

Thanks for that!

It seems that the bitcoin community is mostly from america & brazil.

I have yet to find a meetup within the united kingdom, esecially within driving distance from me.
I will be moving out in the states soon, any suggestions where to go?

We wouldn't know, different programs operate differnet, I'm assuming someone would have to create a entire different miner for the PS4 etc.
This would be difficult to start now, because we don't know the final details on the consoles.

It sounds like it's possible, doesn't mean it's going to be profitable.

Reputation, doesn't mean your post count, they may be called 'hero members' BUT that doesn't mean a thing.
I could get hero status within a couple of days if I really wanted too.
Whenever, you are looking to build reputation think about it first.
Be prepared to answer all questions and provide any identification if its a big request.
Also, going back to the OP, if they have done many different loans and have repaid ALL, then that doesn't mean one day they see a good opportunuity to get coins and retire on them. always beware.

If your dealing with ANYONE, always do a background check, if you can't find any information, ask around with people who have done past dealings.
I always keep a record of past scams or 'close scams' where the seller/buyer was very late in replying or paying.


You have to beware of everyone on the forums.

Maybe the lawyer doesn't work on weekends, haha.

I wish you the best of luck and hope this isn't a scam, I have been following all the posts.
I would want identification of the OP, and meet up in person, with your and his lawyer.

But, the sellers story does seem to make sense and I believe that he is actually generally trying to sell the house, and not run away with your money.

AGAIN, another one of these posts, these are proving popular today.

Look in my sig, the ripple scam.

As of yet, not anything.

I seem to get  most of my bitcoin via selling goods on bitmit.net and selling my programming knowlegde.

Thanks for reporting guys! It was fairly obvious and he kind of failed, but well-done!

It's hard to trust anyone with bitcoin, but I would certainly trust trading & john.

They have both showed continues good trades, but who knows even the most reputable member could get their hands on a big amount and scam others, you always have to think, before dealing with bitcoin.

I nearly always ask for documentation, unless it's using bitmit.net or I have a fairly good gut feeling they will pay.

I have ALL conversations between both lenders, I have documentation from bennett.

Yeah, that's true, some people do that.
But, I don't think Bennett is like that, he has shown good reputation, and provided me with documents if he ever scams me or any others.

I'm more than confident that this will work a charm.

This is certainly interesting.


I hope you can successfully do this, I wish you good luck!

Running a ubuntu live CD, install the bitcoin client.
Then copy the wallet.dat on a storage device, keep this safe and don't use this on another operating system.

Then, write down the bitcoin address and use that address for storing your bitcoins, you don't want to keep checking if they have been received via your ubuntu setup, because that will take a long time.

When you want to withdraw any bitcoins, then boot up your live cd once again, then withdraw like normal.
However don't use the wallet.dat on your computer without running a live cd.
