Simple, guys. It's a scam. These scammers will tell you to send first on the pretext that "PayPal can be chargebacked so they need a certain time window to hold the funds for their safety". They then do everything possible to spend those PayPal funds or even retrade them for bitcoins... before you (the victim) does a chargeback.

There are no coins. Don't get your hopes up.

Threads like this are a good source of scammers' user names.

The guy is an idiot. He wants to "bank transfer" $2.

PS-- let me guess, Indian? Only such people will think of a bank transfer based on nationality.

Can't you read English?

"I will only deal with SUPER TRUSTED USERS in this community"

Or are you another scammer with English issues?

Agree 100%. That's the strategy these scammers use. The sympathy-baiting strategy.

"i got scammed just now"
"let's do this slowly and in small amounts to prove i'm not a scammer"
"i will never chargeback"
"scammers stay away" (stop scamming a fellow scammer!)

Then they cry about how they just got scammed. All that to gain the victims sympathy and rapport.

Scammer!

Diversification. I love that word. Scammers are becoming more and more ingenious... clever, creative, enterprising.. the adjectives go and on. Diversifying their scam methods to attract the best possible btc returns.

I also love the elaborate stories here of how they used to get scammed, how other payment methods won't work (banks down, ATMs down, Western Union 90 miles from home, cash deposit too much trouble no banks where I live, basically anything irreversible is a no no).

Then there is this evolving trend of newbies or semi-newbies who post long elaborate stories that begin with sympathy-inviting lines like ohhhhh i got scammed before so i will never send send first, ohhhhh i can't withdraw my paypal funds to my bank account because my bank's systems are down for a month, ohhhhhh i guarantee you i will NEVER chargeback (cross my heart! i swear on my dog's grave!).

Then you have these scammers who pretend to be upright bitcoins traders warning potential posters on their thread that they will not tolerate scams (lol as if, the hypocrisy and audacity and shamelessness and the nerve!). Scammers warning off other scammers. That would be a bestseller.

Verdict: scam. Don't trade with anyone who promises and guarantees he would never chargeback. How would he guarantee that? By saying something he can't do, you get the first red flag. A scammer will always use a line I GUARANTEE....

Withdraw your stolen paypal funds and buy bitcoins the honorable way with an IRreversible payment method and on a secure escrowed environment.

 

He wants PM. No forum posts where others can spot the scam.

Paypal.. newbie..

100% scammer

Scam.

Using a well-composed sob story to entice victims to buy a newbie's paypal funds. Paypal. Have you forgotten? A fully reversible payment method.

Amazing how fate works against you in every way possible. Bank systems down.. ATMs down... wire systems down... anything that is IRREVERSIBLE is down. Oh and it so happens that a REVERSIBLE payment method is not down.

Withdraw your paypal funds to your bank account (don't respond here with a story that their systems are down for a month because that would definitely solidify and cement my scam theory!) and then take the funds out of your bank account and buy bitcoins in a secure escrowed irreversible trade environment.

New sob story coming up?

To those tempted to give this a try, know he's a newbie with a single post to his name and paying with a reversible payment method. If you neither value nor love your coins, go ahead and tempt fate.

100% scam.

You have the nerve and audacity to warn scammers to stay away when you yourself are a scammer. And what was that? You will only send paypal AFTER confirmation of payment? You are a fraudster of the highest order.

Keep the negative comments to yourself?? Nope. People like you should be exposed, condemned and humiliated for unashamedly and brazenly filling your stomach with food paid for with stolen bitcoins.

Why can't you set up your own PayPal account? Why do you need third-party members to bear the risk for you? This is an extremely risky proposal you are offering here.

Sounds and stinks like an MITM scam. There is no way your bitcoin partner knows that you will deliver to those customers. If all those "customers" decide to do a chargeback later, guess who suffers the loss here.

That second emoji. Was that a grin saying "i got her"?

Scammy rates... skype...

It's a scam and you're a scammer. End of story.

Scammer scammer scammer!!!

ALARMS RINGING!! RING!!! RING!!!

Newbie scammers on the loose!

One is from Ghana... (hint: check +233 country prefix)

The other hijacks the thread hoping he might make some cash without having to open his own thread which would attract more attention and scrutiny.

Scammers are getting desperate. Keep your bitcoins safe.

Red trust.. newbie.. goods and services (super high risk descriptor for PayPal).. bypass 21 days hold (must give btc immediately before paypal reverses or blocks the funds)..

Verdict: Scammer.

6. Skype

Seek help for your delusional thoughts of yourself being a trusted someone.

If you need a list of people who provide this kind of help, pm me your location and I will "hit you up" with a list of them. Are you insured? They probably charge by the hour and I don't think they will take bitcoins.

Yep, that's how they do it.. lure the fish with a fat and irresistible bait. Then it's "add me on skype".
No, they don't want to do the talking here. Too public and open. Lots of intelligent members here who might spot the modus operandi and spoil the game.
Skype it is. The perfect venue to financially rape someone with btc.
