Here is someone i was going to do business with thinking he was possibly legit - he goes by the name of MikeCoin as well as 19 Other usernames on this forum, scamming many people.

Here i will show images of our Skype conversation, and him explaining how he scams, what he scams for and how he even has a Hero account on here. He has previously scammed someone for 20BTC, which is a huge amount. He has no remorse in taking people's money and claims 'he is teaching them a life lesson'. Apparently hacking and stealing people's purchased amazon goods is teaching them a life lesson. He also shows that using escrow is also not safe, hence why on all his other accounts he still accepts escrow. I tried to carry on the conversation as long as possible and gain as much information as i could out of him, please be aware. Is it possible to get his account banned and the ones vouching him etc as he admits they are him or people he is paying small amounts to.

Somebody is dealing 1.2BTC with him tomorrow, if you happen to be reading this please DONT. If you have sent this message to a user 'thank you, i will send you a message when i have some btc Smiley' Dont do the deal.

Is there anyway we can find a hero account that is two weeks off legendary? We can find a way of tracking that account down hopefully.





I am posting this to try and track down and stop this scammer, what he is doing is not right. I took my time to write this and print screen the pictures etc so please try and help, Thank you. I personally thankfully never lost anything to this seller but i feel for people who have or are going to so this is a warning.

I gave gathered users who have vouched for MikeCoin (His other accounts or people he has paid):
  • CoinTop (Definatley Another one of his accounts-Writes on posts using the same skype)
  • duckydonald(possibly)
  • mikecoin2


Mike Scott's Facebook : https://m.facebook.com/mikescott0777?ref=bookmark
His Wife/Girlfriends Facebook : https://m.facebook.com/kerry.davidson.3726613
Mike Scotts Twitter : Twitter.com/Ormskirk_mike (Obviously Paid for Followers)
Mike Scotts Bitcoin Address : 13uhSVyMd9LDAdKzy9qcEfh1Bcg8wfSWYC
E-mail Address : mikescott191@hotmail.com

Hopefully any of that can be of some help. I just think what they guy is doing is a real problem, and is really unmoral. As you can see by most his posts, he has scammed many people and a lot of them have commented on his posts saying they have been scammed.

Uhuh, We don't say Names.

Yup CoinTop is one of his and so is mikecoin2. There were a few others that were already tagged.

I am not sure about his claim about stealing 20 BTC as escrow because that isn't something that I remember and people would probably have made a pretty big deal about it.

Also 1.2 is a pretty big deal for someone to do without escrow especially with an untrusted person, I would doubt that unless his hero account has a good amount of trust then escrow would probably be used. If this was the case then the account would probably be worth more then the 1.2 he plans on stealing

Yeah when he said 20 BTC i was really shocked, i mean to take that from somebody and not feel the slightest bit sorry is crazy. He seems to think he is teaching people a life lesson.

The amounts he stole from users were very small in the cases of his alts that were already tagged with negative trust. I call BS on his claims

ROFL I love his line "But anyone would have done the same for that much" about scamming 20 BTC. No, Mike. Not everybody would do the same. Not everybody is a sleazebag low-life, such as yourself.

Is there anyway we can find a hero account that is two weeks off legendary? We can find a way of tracking that account down hopefully.


Legendary membership doesnt have a fixed activity

*Activity: the Legendary membergroup has no universal activity requirement.
You are guaranteed to become Legendary somewhere between 775 and 1030 activity,
but the exact point in this range at which you become Legendary is random per user.
Gets 5 gold coins under his name of which the last is half dark blue.
---
He's obviously lying, unless account is reaching max. activity needed (1030) in two weeks.

He claims too have been doing this since 2011, back in the beginning 20BTC didn't have the value it does now, he doesn't say when he got that so at the time 1BTC may have only been worth $2-$3 each.

Yes, that is true. Would be funny if he actually meant he has been hacking since he was age 11, wouldn't be surprised from this strange guy.

Shame on him! I thought he might be joking but he is seriously loving to SCAM people and teach them a lesson  Huh Why did he admit this to you? I have never heard about a scammer to be so open about his thoughts except in cases when they talk to their lawyer.

He has also given his other account Cointap a positive trust rating.

This can be his other account (maybe): duckydonald https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=319166

To be honest i have no idea why he thought he was safe to admit it to me, but i'm not complaining. I tried to take advantage as much as i can about him being open and get him to reveal as much as possible. I also have a feeling duckydonald is another one of his accounts.

Uhuh, We don't say Names.

Mike Coin send me a request in Skype for helping him to setup some API related things in his faucet script. He hasn't come online for sometime now and removed his profile pic most probably trying to wipe everything. Didn't think he was a scammer.

ROFL I love his line "But anyone would have done the same for that much" about scamming 20 BTC. No, Mike. Not everybody would do the same. Not everybody is a sleazebag low-life, such as yourself.

Yup CoinTop is one of his and so is mikecoin2. There were a few others that were already tagged.

I am not sure about his claim about stealing 20 BTC as escrow because that isn't something that I remember and people would probably have made a pretty big deal about it.

Also 1.2 is a pretty big deal for someone to do without escrow especially with an untrusted person, I would doubt that unless his hero account has a good amount of trust then escrow would probably be used. If this was the case then the account would probably be worth more then the 1.2 he plans on stealing

I think so too. 20BTC are a lot and someone would remember such a scam accusation case.

He claims too have been doing this since 2011, back in the beginning 20BTC didn't have the value it does now, he doesn't say when he got that so at the time 1BTC may have only been worth $2-$3 each.

I have read it as like he did it since he is 11 years old. Matches the language. Most probably a script kiddie. And the security measures? Always different names? Im not sure he know how safe/unsafe he is. Especially when he claims he reroutes amazon packages to himself. I mean how to prevent that it becomes suspicious that complaints about his address come in? And receiving in person before another house is too dangerous too because the postman sees you.

ROFL I love his line "But anyone would have done the same for that much" about scamming 20 BTC. No, Mike. Not everybody would do the same. Not everybody is a sleazebag low-life, such as yourself.

+1

To be honest i have no idea why he thought he was safe to admit it to me, but i'm not complaining. I tried to take advantage as much as i can about him being open and get him to reveal as much as possible. I also have a feeling duckydonald is another one of his accounts.

Good work how you spoke with him. He obviously was easy brought to brag and you made him feel great.

Shame on him! I thought he might be joking but he is seriously loving to SCAM people and teach them a lesson  Huh Why did he admit this to you? I have never heard about a scammer to be so open about his thoughts except in cases when they talk to their lawyer.

You only need to read about in certain cracker, carder and whatsoever forums. They are proud about it and tell others and get reputation for it. This one thought he might speak with OP like with someone of his kind, thinking he is fully safe...

Please ALWAYS contact me through bitcointalk pm before sending someone coins.
