About two weeks ago I contact to samward for buying an account he told me that you have to send me the payment first and said to me that escrow is not good for account buying so I send him the payment of 0.018 BTC, he told me that he will give me a legendary account for that amount. and when I send him the payment he stopped to reply me he comes online every day but do not respond to me. he is a scammer I want to get back my payment please help me.
I saw him at this place:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1654387.0his profile is: samward ; profile link:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=299272after searching a lot I have found that he have a number of alt accounts selling cheap accounts and I also have found some hero and legendary accounts of him. I will post that list of his accounts after confirmation and if he did not replied me.
I hope the admin or moderator of this forum will help me
Sorry this happened to you... Scams are not moderated on this forum i'm afraid. What CAN actually happen is: you can create a valid scam accusation, DT members review this scam accusation, if the DT members agree they place negative trust on the scammer's account, warning everybody not to do business with him/her.
If you're really lucky, the scammer values his account more than the BTC he stole, and refunds you... Altough i guess chances are slim in your case (since his account is worth less than the 0.018 you claim he stole).
you should probably read this topic on how to make a proper scam accusation:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260073.0you'll need to include tx id's and screenshots of your PM's to make a good case.
On a personal note: account selling is frowned upon in the community... Wouldn't it be better to make a new account and just use it honestly untill you get a good status by yourself?
