rouf553 scammed me for .55 btc :|

[BitNinja]

I tried selling BTC for MP today for my first site-based trade.

I found this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=247634.0 in which it seemed like people had successfully traded with this dude today. (I think, but am not sure, that the 'successful trades' were just dummy accounts to make it look like he had actually traded.) I messaged the guy, he responded right away, so I sent BTC:

After which he sent a message:

Something is wrong on my wallet. Please wait.

And poof gone like that. About an hour or so later, the address shipped off the coins.

A kind soul managed to track down this information:

BestBidder25 is an alt of rouf553. I initially suspected that when he vouched for rouf553 on the thread where BitNinja got scammed. I posted my suspicion on his thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=249325.msg2647857#msg2647857

He immediately locked the thread and deleted his vouch for rouf553 on the other thread confirming my suspicion.

Yeah, he PMed me and said he had a successful trade, and was 'sure' rouf would show up again. Now his feedback to rouf is gone, along with the others that were posted the last few days.

Re: Escrow:

I would have used if I had any idea how. Obviously I don't want to just get ripped off.

Oh well, another disappointed community member that won't trade here anymore.

rouf533 left me negative feedback, requesting it be removed as it is false.

all us real people know you aren't a scammer.

This.

Also, I really have to wonder why you would EVER send BTC first. Unless it's someone heavy who brushes his teeth with BTC, it's just not intelligent to send a one-way good to someone you don't know.

Looks like rouf553 is up to his old tricks again by using an alt account "Rinorbirch"

I'm calling him out - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=252326.new#new
