Contacted acescoins via email.
He demanded that I send first via Western Union, even though he has no feedback, no trust, and no history on this site.
Clearly a scammer.
I'm not a scammer, Danny. I got a mail from your friend telling me about your good deeds and I took that as an avenue to believe your words. I was scammed of 17BTC on LBC after crediting a so-called 15months OP, how on earth should I send first to anyone?... I lost my life savings in less than 2months ago, and you want me to repeat the same very mistake once again? If I act like that, it's because I want to play safe. Please be patience in your judgement.
Use escrow, and don't try make these transactions on your own terms and as a newb or you'll look like a scammer to the rest of us.
