It is all over these threads that coin cleaner is a scammer. You you guys gotta do some research before you trade.
He most likely deposited it to PayPal. Call mp and convince them you were defrauded the mp may dispute with PayPal. Never heard of anyone getting their money back form mp. And bring some KY next time. It won't hurt so much when you get fucked again.

Nothing lawful works.  GreenDot will only intervene in documented cases of theft/robbery (i.e. someone puts a gun in your face and takes your moneypak) or failure of their system (i.e. you buy a MP, try to use the code and it was already used).

Note for those accepting MP they still aren't 100% scamproof as the person sending you the MP could claim they were robbed or the MP was hacked.  Having them write your name on the receipt and email it to you makes those stories less plausible.

I knew he was a scammer all along.

He offered to clean 200 000 coins for me instantly, with only a 0.1% fee, lol.

I should have - I definitely didn't come prepared. I'd never bothered to learn BitCoin so everything at once, then BoA said it would be a four day transfer then Dwolla said four days I said cmon, I can get a MoneyPak in four minutes.

But it turns out Money Pak isn't going to cover your ass for nothin. You already knew that about PayPal. I think I'll press charges only to try to sue for performance, ie. he award me damages in BTC. That would give the community some of the press it needs..

He's been logging in every hour too, even though he was going to work but taking a nap first. Or something. I cleared my schedule for this so I might as well get all the petty enjoyment I can for $500.

*sigh* People NEED to do reasearch into people before they do direct trades...

I wish you the best mate. Sucks seeing douchebags like coincleaner getting away with stealing from people. If I needed Bitcoins I would buy them from someone like this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=57640 OR from BitInstant. If you are buying stuff from this forum always use a escrow service that has a lot of good reputation.
