What happened: I got scammed 0.383 BTC by a member on here. Please read the last PMs I have received from him below. That amount was a 0.33% deposit for a mining rig. It was worth around $1,000 at the time of the transaction. This amount is very important to me and my partner, he has been depressed for the last week. The thing I find pathetic is that the scammer even went as far as giving us fake hopes after we have paid. He told us he received the money and that the components were bought. He said he was a family man and wouldn't go as far as scamming for this 'mere' amount, etc etc. Lies we fell for I guess. I am ready to offer a bounty of $300 to anyone that can work with me to track him and get some information. He lives in NYC, and is a 45 year old with 4 children, apparently. Might be lies too. I have customers that were waiting to see the rig before they buy, so him scamming us has fucked up our whole business.
Are you stating his location and age information based on his bitcointalk profile ? If yes,then you're mostly wrong.The account woke up after a long time,the forum did mention that for you which you ignored.Also the account seems sold from the original owner and there is very little posting from the new owner if any.Why would you not use an escrow again ?

Do you have any other information about them apart from bitcointalk ? It's difficult to track an individual on the basis on an address only.
