hi, guys.

i am here reporting a scammer that i met at btc-e chat room at last night, he scammed me for 30$. he asked me to send him first mtgox-code for exchanging his liberty reserve, after used my code, he ran away and disappeared.

His information:
Name: Ryu
Email : ryu1234@hushmail.com
IP     : 97.81.101.144


here is what happened as chat history:
Ryu
23:21 31.01.12
I have $125 available at the moment. Another $250 is coming in the next hour. Are you trying to trade 1 to 1?
---------------
Ryu
23:43 31.01.12
I'd be willing to do $100 worth mtgox, just this time for 1%.
---------------
Me
23:44 31.01.12
Smiley yes, if you agree. i am a trust member at BTC-OTC. please send me lr first
---------------
Ryu
23:47 31.01.12
quite the opposite! you need the the lr, so i will send you the lr once i get the code.
---------------
Me
23:49 31.01.12
well, let's do it in couple of times. here is 30$ code, please give me 30$ lr, my lr account:U8573xx and i send another code. ok? MTGOX-USD-xxxxx-xxxxx-Nxxx4-Axxxx(its a right code)
---------------
nothing received after 30 mins....
---------------
Me
00:44 01.02.12
thanks for scamming. your moral quality <= 30$



that's all. i already reported to mtgox and also the chat room admin. this unfortunately accident is caused by my carelessness. hope everyone get warning from it.

That's why you've got to stand your ground. If someone refuses to send first to a higher-reputation person, either refuse to do business with them or use an escrow.

I agree. Sometimes the eagerness to do business clouds our better judgement.
