I actually talked to this guy on Sunday 2/9/12 around 6PM EST.  This number did ring my phone.  We talked for a few minutes, then he "lost signal."  I'm not sure if he was using some sort of crappy VOIP system or what.  He called back again a few minutes later and we discussed different things regarding mining, etc.  He knew his stuff.  It dropped a second time after 5 more minutes then I didn't talk to him again.  I called back and nothing.

He apologized and emailed saying he had no signal and would call back later.  He became more and more frantic when I wouldn't transfer the BTC.  I was just about to not send it but he made note that he would just give the miners to the countless others waiting.  He got me for ~0.9 BTC claiming that prices had gone down for BTC. 

He buddied up with me to a point of trust then got me thinking, would an actual scammer call me?  The answer is yes.  He sounded liked a guy in his early 30's (as I am) and obviously technologically sound.

The story he gave me was that his wife was pregnant and was "going to pop."  If this is the supposed real Shaun McNaphee, and info is real.  I doubt any of it is, but we will soon find out after I contact the Orland Park PD. 

1) He lives in a home worth nearly nothing.
2) He lives with his mom.
3) Went after people a little farther away than his area so it had to be "shipped."

The guy who he is posing as will soon know either way.  It's likely he's a "rookie."  He either is the guy or knows the guy. 

We probably won't get our money back but he will also probably be caught.  I made him a promise that I would find him and I would have help.  He will probably even read this, funny enough.  So, I guess just refund us and we'll just be done?  Am I right?
