(adidas) Possible scammer alert on this site.

[Lunchmeatlarry]

Alright, being new to the site and maybe a little impatient. I had asked for someone willing to trade Paypal for BTC. I got a message sooner or later from a Sr. Member ranked on this site with "Trust".

Well here we are 24hrs later and this guy won't respond anymore. I had no choice but to start a transaction dispute on paypal. I had given this guy 24hrs and all he gave me was excuses. Maybe he is a scammer or just has short term memory loss? Who knows, but if you enjoy your money leave this guy alone. He gives headaches and broken english sandwiches is all. Here is the "sellers" info from the site.

Just wanted to give anyone a heads up and save them the energy from being angered.

amount scammed? post some kind of proof like conversation log and transaction ID. it will prove that the guy is indeed a scammer.

there is another on-going scam accusation against the user adidas.

[9/2/2015 3:22:38 AM] Crypto Master: sending them documents verification again
[9/2/2015 3:22:51 AM] Crypto Master: and other information they requested
[9/2/2015 3:23:41 AM] Scooby Doo: Whats wrong with sending me the BTC now since the money is already sent to your email?
[9/2/2015 3:24:37 AM] Crypto Master: the problem is they limited it because of transaction , and want me to give more information
so they might send you your money back if they think this transaction was not good
[9/2/2015 3:25:05 AM] Crypto Master: they might restore my account and reverse this transaction
[9/2/2015 3:25:28 AM] Scooby Doo: You aint gotta worry about that man. Im good for your coins. I just cant go to bed without having a refund or btc
[9/2/2015 3:25:57 AM] Crypto Master: if they did reversal then Its a risk for me of 1.8btc
[9/2/2015 3:26:13 AM] Scooby Doo: How so. You think im gonna dip on ya?

[Lunchmeatlarry]

[Jhanzo]

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=360311

you said you did a chargeback, right? if so then this matter should be solved now.

[Lunchmeatlarry]

Never had to dispute anything on Paypal before. Hopefully so!

[jacee]

Posting a complain in here won't help to get your money back but thank you for warning others of this guy. Btw, if you have no problem in your own paypal account, you are under their buyer protection so there is a chance you can get your money back with their dispute. You can also send them email.

No problem, nobody likes being scammed. Hopefully their greed catches up to them one day.

I'm scamed from same user.

i buyed to this an account for virwox for 0.19btc, i payed 31 of august from btc and next day say delivery data in 12h, aroun 40h passed and dont responsed more...

[lastuser]

I was about to make a deal with that user (adidas). He wants to sell his own account for 0.16 btc , I agreed and when I said we need a trusted escrow for the deal, he never replied since Sept. 1, 2015. I'm glad our deal wasn't continued but I feel sorry for your loss OP 
Just be careful next time when dealing with someone
