I bought 4 graphics cards from BTC guy and I have heard nothing from him after making the purchase. I sent him 33 coins which can be seen here - http://blockchain.info/address/18JgZuNaW8hLV2uMGAcbUhHTVuPGfvA2jC and they appear to be in his wallet. However he has not seemed to log on here since the 1st of September. Can anybody give some advice as on what to do, or know of how I can contact him as he is not responding to my messages? He has a long list of successful transactions https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=66338.0 , so I don't think he has conned me, but I am not sure what is going on. I have quoted our most recent messages below.

5830 / $80
5850 / $100
5870 / $120
6990 / $400

if you buy 4 of the 6990 i will do $350.

How much for 4 5830's with postage to (removed - English postal address)


im not offering a price break for the cheaper cards. $80 is my best price. shipping would be $40. total would be $360. i can round it down to $350 even.

How do you want payment?



coins

Would you accept Paypal if I pay fees?


no sorry

I am currently in the process of buying bitcoins to buy 4 of the 5830's.


OK i will hold them for you. let me know when your ready.

How many coins and to what address?


33 coins shipped
18JgZuNaW8hLV2uMGAcbUhHTVuPGfvA2jC


I am just about to get the Bitcoins needed, do you still have the stock?



yes

Still the same address?

Please can you post to:

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

Hmmm, Yes he does seam trustworthy, Scary thought, but It does not look like he got home!
The coins was sent two hours before he said he would check when he got home.

BTC guy has done a few transactions bigger than this, I dont think (or I hope not) that he has conned you.

If no-one has any direct contact with him, Then nothing you can do than wait.

EDIT - I know he was selling a BFL single 2gen for just under $2000 on bitmit, It's not their now, but at that price, does not seem right?

Damn, Does not look good, TBH 33 coins is not a fortune, but 420 coins is a hell of a bundle.

I'd agree that 33 coins is not enough to ditch and run, but if he was gonna scam someone out of 420, maybe the 33 was just an extra?

Sorry for your loss, TGJJ. Always use escrow whenever possible.

This is very unfortunate. I've learned my lesson with bitcoins. Time to move onto more safe practices like an escrow service.

Hello.

I have problems with this member too.

I have buyed from him at 28 august single + upgrade + 1 japaleno for 2000 $ equalent in Bitcoins. I have sent him total 185,47 BTC. 161.47 at 29 august. he even answered 2 pms that he has not much time and i have to be patient.

There was succesfull trades from him, so i trusted the guy.
Too bad i am in Europe, but this guy has been sent to me his personal information, like phone number, street adress, e-mail. I dont know if i can write it here, but it would be great i f someone located near him could check that to get back at least some our loss. If i would been located in America, i would definetly make a visit to this guy.

Edited: aadress that he gave me was : 16uxgGsk49q3yRry5DZ9x1ZK6E6Tfsu27n

as i can see, that is much bigger account http://blockchain.info/address/16uxgGsk49q3yRry5DZ9x1ZK6E6Tfsu27n

It looks like he moved my coins to a new wallet - http://blockchain.info/address/1JhBdR6ZbAqBDzEa6zpxZdGEntipDyRsBM .

Have you verified that his details are correct?
