Found this thread after searching and being scammed. I see there is a username that posted here in this thread named btcbuyer99. I am wondering if it is the same person that was scamming on etsy or if it's being used as a stolen identity.
I'm not sure how this is the same guy that is referenced in the eBay scam that this thread is about so I really can't speak to that. I do know the person that scammed me on etsy was using btcbuyer99@gmail for the registered email (that's how I landed in this thread). Could it be the same person? Yes. Could it be a different person? Yes. There is no real way to tell that. You could ask a mod to see what email is attached to btcbuyer99. If its the gmail then it's probably him. If not then I would say no.
What I do know is the person from etsy that scammed me was located in Germany. I called him and the number was a land line in germany. He answered and we spoke for a few minutes. He had a heavy german accent and I could hear a tv in the background also in german. Also, a germany ip address. If I had to bet the eBay guy and the etsy guy are the same, I would say no. Could it be possible this person has stolen some identities and is running both scams, yes that's possible. (the phone number is now disconnected).
I looked at the suspected eBay guy and I would say that he isn't the guy we are looking for. If you follow that guys trail, I don't think he would run scams on eBay. Probably a case of stolen identity.
We aren't going to get our money back since this was done in a foreign country. I spoke with etsy and there isn't anything they can do about it. I filed a police report and was told they would be in contact.
I can't believe I was this stupid. I guess it's a life lesson.

You called the guy??!?!
What did you purchase off him? What was his username on Etsy??
When did you pay and how did you pay?
Someone has already said, a package from the eBay guy came from within the USA. So it can't be a German running both scams.
I bought a KNC Miner a few days ago. I can't recall the username. I had Etsy disable my account. I paid with all of my Bitcoins I had. Lost them all to this guy. Stupid me deleted my wallet so I can't even see the transaction anymore to try and follow where they go. Hopefully you still have your address on hand.
I did call him. I wanted to talk on the phone to him. I didn't put 2 and 2 together until it was too late. I feel like such a moron here. I really do. I paid yesterday morning.
I think it's safe to say eBay guy and our Etsy guy are not the same person. You should start a new thread and post the info there. We don't want to mix these two together. I am sure there are others that were affected by this as well. We will want all our info in one place. I'm certain we are never going to get justice or see our funds again since this guy is in germany.
You can't remember the guys username who you bought off?
How much did you pay?? Yeh Timothy, pretty funny
