About a month ago I got a text from someone who saw my ad on Localbitcoins. Judging by the message the guy sent, I sorta had a bad feeling that I knew what they needed the Bitcoin for. I text the guy back and said
"Don't tell me that you are buying Bitcoin to unlock your computer from a ransomware!?"
The guy responded back
"Ok, I won't, and I won't say that it starts Crypto either" (The ransomware was
Cryptodefender.)
He then text back telling me that he was working on behalf of the local Boy's & Girl's Club of America, and that the computer that was locked was their accounting PC, and that they needed to get in it ASAP. I then sold them the Bitcoin and told him that if they were at all interested in learning more about Bitcoin, he could contact me anytime and I would be more than happy to meet with them and show them how they could add Bitcoin to their donations page. I told him that the vast majority of people in the Bitcoin community were good people who want Bitcoin to succeed, and not like the scum who was responsible for the ransomware that introduced them to Bitcoin. A few days later, that I got an email from the assistant of the Chief Professional Officer of the B&GC asking when I would be available to meet and explain Bitcoin to him.
The meeting was this past Thursday, and it went AWESOME! He was very interested in accepting Bitcoin for donations, and will be getting together with their website developer shortly to have them add Bitcoin. I showed him the site Coinneo.com, and explained how Coinbase and Bitpay work and that they would turn any Bitcoin payments immediately into cash and deposit said cash into their bank account daily.
Request from the community: The B&GC is a wonderful organization! Like any other not for profit, it goes without saying that they need every bit of money they can get, and can't afford to be giving away $550 to scammers! Lets show them how good the Bitcoin community really is by helping them at least recover the funds they lost paying the ransom! Below is their Bitcoin address. This is THEIR address, I do not have any control over it whatsoever! I will also put a Litecoin, and Dogecoin address up as well. They do not control those, but if any donations are given in either, I will convert them daily to Bitcoin, and send them to their address.
Due to the fact that there is so many scams everyday in the Crypto-Currency world, Greg, the CPO of the B&GC branch where this happened has said that if anyone wants to
contact him to verify this, feel free.
So come on guys, lets show em what the Bitcoin community can do, and that the vast majority of Bitcoiners are actually very good people!
