Scam Date June 12th, 2014 Why am I only posting this information now?I was hoping with time Alexis conscience would catch up with him and he would return my stolen money. It seems he has no interest in doing so, so I thought it was appropriate to take further measures.
What happened:: I posted an advertisement on the currency exchange board trading BTC for PokerStars$. Alexis Drakopoulos under the alias
FitnessRegiment replied to my posting wanting to trade for 9.5btc. We conversed and he eventually added me on skype under the alias
Spuds Gaming .. He told me that he wanted to use escrow.com service for the trade and I mentioned that it wasn't necessary and that I am a reputable seller etc.. But he insisted, I decided ok sure. I did a background check on the site escrow.com and everything was legit so I thought why not. He told me to sign up which I did, and then he told me to send him my email address I used in order for him to initiate the transaction on the site. The transaction was initiated and I received an email from escrow.com stating the stipulations, and then I immediately received another email stating the transaction steps and what course of action was needed next. This
SECOND EMAIL however was not legitimately from escrow.com and my unfamiliarity with the procedure and the whole escrowing process led me to believe it was legitimate as it contained the transaction Id, escrow.com banner and came immediately after the first legitimate email. However this email was, now looking back on it, from
service.escrow@europe.com and not escrow.com. In short I followed the instructions on the followup email which under the guise of escrow.com stated that that buyer had sent full payment + fee to escrow, and that now it was my turn to send the btc to the address provided. I sent the the btc to the address and the rest is history.
Update June 14th: I contacted Alexis demanding him to return my btc or drastic measures will be taken. Afterwards his facebook was deactivated or hidden. He also messaged me from
fitnessregiment15@gmail.com stating that he was hacked. This is all bullshit of course as his scams date back to 2011 and if your read through all the provided information you can see the links between Alexis Drakopoulous, Dom Gend, Fitness Regiment, Alexistheboss15 and all the scam accusations associated.
I am looking for help in prosecuting Alexis Drakopoulos so he can never scam anyone else again. He is a ruthless scammer and it just sickens me how conniving he is. Scammers Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=334325 ,

Anything you want me to try and get out of him. Sounds like he is using the same technique to try and get me to ship Casascius Coins.
Luckily, I did not fall for the fake email... It came from
escrow@collector.org (didn't even spoof escrow.com for me)
He is "apparently" going to call escrow.com and find out why the payment hasn't cleared in the portal.
Here is the info he has given me so far:
Skype: Spuds Gaming
bitcointalk: FitnessRegimen
email addresses:
johnsmithtrader4@gmail.comjamesweir379@yahoo.comName: Dom Gend
Phone: +357 97 631598

CyprusHe tried to use the DHL depot for the 1st address - not sure what this one is.
He tried to scam me 6 BTC using escrow.com. I noticed the emails did not match. It was sent from some phony email company.
These users are likely alts:
Revolution, DomGend1995, and Comcaster.I only release IP addresses to police. If you contact police, have them email
theymos@mm.st from an official police email address if they want the IP.
Sorry for your misfortune.
