Hey at least I pm'd you to check if you did escrow it to make sure. Other wise I would have never pm you.
Well, PM before you send the coins next time, as the coins are effectively lost if you've sent it to the scammer's address. |

I tried contacting John K. before I sent the coins no reply though. Until later then I was told it was fake he didn't setup the escrow. Yes he forward the message he received from John K. The scammer set up the escrow not me and the escrow was set up with John K.
Huh?! Did you have proof that he setup the escrow with John ? I do not see any note by John here. Hey man, John K said he'd do escrow for our deal. He told me to send the funds to his escrow address 1GG3CLYd36tmU2X73rmHYzsTtaJcNwMcCC. Once I see the first confirmation to that address, I'll send you your coins. Get it? No he created the message, you didn't check the signature, John was never involved, you sent your coins straight to the scammer Mate, I have a life outside the forums.  Also, you sent the coins before even sending the PM to me: I just sent money to 1FMkokNtu7oQyjwaYcM5wDQG9VUN4hUBMb foofight said this was your escrow. I am the buyer buying ripple from boofight and he is the seller. I sent bitcoins to here 1FMkokNtu7oQyjwaYcM5wDQG9VUN4hUBMb and waiting for him to send ripple.

Ok thanks for clearing this up but how do I read a pgp message if it wasn't sent to my pgp public key? And how do I know if its your key anyone can copy and paste. Apparently I am not the only one who got scammed. The scammer set up the escrow not me and the escrow was set up with John K.
.... You don't understand how escrows work, don't you? You need to verify that it's the escrow you're sending the funds to. Hell, I GPG sign every escrow contract I send out, be it 1 BTC or 1000BTC - if the signature is wrong IT ISN'T ME! In this case, you didn't even verify if it was me who sent you the escrow contract directly via PM.  Can you do escrows without having to do GPG signatures? That is a pain in the ass and I'd prefer not to use them. GPG signatures are for the security of the users involved - I know most people are not verifying that the signatures are valid, but it makes sense when you're dealing with 1k+ BTC. Also, I send the contract out via my account directly... that would be the baseline to confirm that I sent this contract out. Well, I suggest you take up the free offer here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=98574.0 Please read up on how GPG works - the hash data after the message is different if even a backspace is inserted in the text. At the very least, please verify that I messaged the escrow contract to you directly. |

Who is OP
OP is you, the thread starter. Yes he forward the message he received from John K. The scammer set up the escrow not me and the escrow was set up with John K.

He told me to send the funds to his escrow address 1GG3CLYd36tmU2X73rmHYzsTtaJcNwMcCC. Once I see the first confirmation to that address, I'll send you your coins. Get it? I am sending all my coins to everyone here free! Yay!
^ Forwarded mails does not make sense as anyone can edit them easily.  |

We did a escrow but it looks like escrows don't work he ran off with the coins.
Who did you use for escrow? Holy shit, I WAS NOT THE ESCROW damnit. OP got a PM from foofight stating that I was escrowing the deal, and sent the coins to the address foofight 'forwarded' to him blindly. I escrow around 2k BTC PER WEEK and it does not make sense that I would run for this amount. This signature is fake, right? zero3112 has reported the below personal message, sent by foofight, for the following reason: foofight is a scammerBelow are the original contents of the personal message which was reported: Message forwarded. Attached. Please note that I might be going out soon for lunch (in approx. 10 mins), so please proceed with sending 24,000 ripples if you see the 1.37BTC having 3 confs in the address below. Be rest assured that I will be releasing the funds when I get back.
Thanks,
John

Hash: SHA1
The escrow address for Foofight(the seller) and zero3112(the buyer) transaction would be:

Please state and agree to the conditions (if item is received damaged, item lost with tracking, customs fee etc) beforehand.
If possible, GPG sign your agreement to prevent any discrepancies later on and please ship with tracking to prevent problems during delivery. GPG signing is not a requirement, and any verbal exchange in the form of private messages or posts on bitcointalk.org, or email is effective as a ‘statement of condition’.
The fine print:
This Contract is solely generated for the purpose of facilitating the transaction between the seller and the buyer, which refers to the pseudonyms used on bitcointalk.org.
The escrow holder, John, assumes and gives no liability or guarantees on the satisfaction of all parties involved, although he agrees to mediate and facilitate the deal to the fullest extent he is capable of. On the event that any problems arises, he will release the escrow to whichever party that presents him with the most convincing proof and/or after an open discussion with others or theymos.
The verbal acceptance by both parties (or the failure to reject) and the sending of Bitcoins to the escrow address above constitutes the acceptance of the terms and conditions stated, and the activation of this Contract.
Please understand that I am assuming the risk of holding the escrowed Bitcoins, and I am using my own time to facilitate this transaction.
If possible, please tip me at 1NB1KFnFqnP3WSDZQrWV3pfmph5fWRyadz .
Thank you.

I got the PM from arklan regarding the escrowing of this.
Yes, I can do so. My fees are 2% of the total funds held (and sent to friedcat), and that includes the escrowing of your identity if your buyers prefer. I will send the order in to friedcat directly, and provide the operator's address.

No bites? Auctions: hitting 1.3 per share in the last 24 hour BTCT: hitting 1.31 per share in the last 24 hour Bitfunder: hitting 1.27 with 1.23 bid in the last 24 hour And with the new cute USB miners of 10k at 1.99BTC each, the divs will go through the roof!  |

i get what the goal is: wholesale to others who will then sale at "retail." that's a perfectly reasonable thing and the 300 minimum order isn't a big deal. avalon's chips are 10,000 chips minimum order, after all. same thing.
now, the 1.99 btc price? that's an entirely different matter. even with immediate delivery vs. waiting months, 300 mhash vs 5 ghash (and whatever power difference) is an obvious choice, and it's not in AM's favor.
It still makes sense when you factor in how much FOGA's been going currently. assuming you mean FPGA john, then yea, this is true. but that's not longer the compare point, is it? bfl's shipping, slowly, yes, but shipping. thus those are a competing option, just with a waiting list. also there's the huge number of avalon chips which have been sold. supposedly those will be shipping by june, with DIY or other hardware being made by forum members (burnin comes to mind) ready to go quickly after that. FPGA's aren't a relevant comparison anymore. Yep, FPGA. Take a look at this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=187549.0 - FPGA's going like hot cakes now. (I remember seeing a group buy for that - it was filled to 100+ units in a couple of days) |

I had ~400 coins between Pirate@40 and Hashking T-T
~6000 here -.- To have a time machine to go back and kick myself in the balls, I had faith in bitcoin back then I should never have handed them over to anyone (There is a lesson here newbies, If your coins aren't in your wallet, they are not your coins) I will probably never have near that many again. -Blinded by greed. *back to quietly licking my wounds* Sweet Jesus. It'd be worth your while finding the guy and getting them back or offering a bounty of half your recovered coins to someone? Heck, why not create a thread and offer that bounty here. I'm sure someone looking for up to 3000BTC would be happy to do it. We have tried that offering significantly more than 50% (for either Trendon Shavers or Sam J Theofanopoulos). No-one bites. If you are interested I'm 100% certain we can come to an arrangement. Agreed. I'm sure I can get more people to chip in their %'s if it's a possible deal. |

Another chance to buy 200 ASICMINER shares, which are transferred directly by friedcat. Escrow for the sale is John (John K.). I prefer a non partial sale.
I confirm that I will be handling this as the escrow. Please drop me and OP a PM when you want the deal to be done. |
