If it is the same person his name is Garrott Gardner aka Kruniac aka WorldwideBTC aka a ton of other scamming alts. Hes good at this whole scam thing sadly (over 25k estimated scammed in past before).

What always gives his identity away is how he brags about his scams after and basically feeds off of his victims' sadness. Its pathetic. He gloats and moves onto the next account everytime.

trusting someone just because they are sr. member doesnt mean crap.

Unless they have actual rep shown with + symbols. But, its a shame though but atleast it wasnt bigger then .2 right? heck, it could of been 1 btc or more then thats cringe..

Leaving apart the scammer (it is a scammer and a bastard, no one can change this) the problem is another. Why the seller believe in accounts that have negative trust and not only this but do exchange without escrow with this kind of people? And at the end sent the money for first. A series of errors that not a child can do. This is very strange for me. How is possible to trust such kind of situations? Can anyone explain me this behavior?

No one can explain this. At least me, not. I will never do such things. Maybe it is some kind of doing without thinking much. Maybe don't believe that in the forum exists such bastards who benefit from the good faith of the innocent and naive people. But I don't understand another thing. Why those people didn't cast out the forum and their IP banned forever. In this way at least they cannot deceived other people? Why they take only red trust and nothing else?

I can respond to this. Because the first person scammed it was me with 0.75BTC. i trust him as well because is senior account ( shame on me) :/ Probably while he was making business with me he was buying and selling from the others users he scammed, so none of them saw the negative trust. Only after an hour when he didn t transfer the money to my skrill account, i gave him negative trust and open this thread. Thats why the other user trusted him, because no negative trust when they made deal.

Account selling is a big minus, bad for business in this forum.

People say, "use escrow"

But if we are going to use escrow  or similar with every sale we do and trust nobody here, then what is the purpose of those "senior, full, legendary" tags?

I guess none.

[sylpalma]

[The Bad Guy]

I know, i'm fucking bitch, but i'm not that guy.. Please find any connection between me and him except scamming.

// WOW He is fucking ugly, pff, I'm better

Didn't marco say that the limit is only for the period when he's not here? Guys, you can't barely read.
It's because he can't check your posts when he's away, so one can post like 1000 freakin' spammy posts and get more than 1 BTC payment.

The limit is only until I return!

Like I said, those peasants can't barely read. You should kick them all.

This guy reminds me of segvec who scammed SellingHBOGo out of ~14 btc. His use of the word "peasants" is very similar to The Bad Guy

Could be him as well. Although I doubt segvec would waste his time on small scams like this guy. Segvec was one of those "long con" type people. Waiting for the big score. Me and him actually did exchange some BTC for $500 or so and he always paid. So he wouldn't scam for a measily hundred or two I don't think.

May I show you your logic, Quickseller?

You and BitcoinDistributor used the nickname "segvec" in this text. BitcoinDistributor is 100% an account made by Quickseller.
What's next Quickseller? How many alts do you own?

If you look at my trust, the threads I have made wanting harm done to Quickseller and a few others, you would clearly see that me and Quickseller are not the same person. Not even going to say good try as literally you could pick ANYONE in this forum and they'd more likely to be an account owned by him besides mine.

I think it was sarcasm regarding to the Quickseller's accusation with the word "peasants". The Bad Guy did the same thing as him.

Diabolically clever long con!  No one will ever suspect you're Quickseller's alt!

jk.  Quickseller prob'ly sold The Bad Guy account through one of his alts.

They are just stupid titles, like on 99% of forums on the internet. "newbie" is a good warning because it doesn't last very long, but I have no idea why people think other anonymous people on the internet would care about something as stupid as a forum title when it comes to sending irreversible transactions to strangers on the internet.

This account was sold to SellingSenior(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=399270) for 0.18BTC on 25/07/2015. I was escrowing this trade.

I received Bitcoins from CoinGaming.io wallet according to walletexplorer.com.

SellingSenior is saying he sold the account, however the password was only changed for two times, I changed first and the next time, SellingSenior or new buyer changed password but as the password was changed in a short period, I doubt a sale has taken place. If SellingSenior could provide a valid txid, messages and prove the password was changed by the new buyer, then, I will remove the negative feedback or it will be removed if I am wrong.

Code:

18:54:42 | 25/07/2015 - The Bad Guy - password changed    -- Escrow(me) changed.
 -snip-
19:14:14 | 25/07/2015 - The Bad Guy - password changed    -- Buyer(SellingSenior) changed.

Thoughts?
