who is this "new guy".   President Obama?  Steve Jobs?  "new guy" means absolutely nothing.

sturles is a trusted trader but 99% chance he wouldn't be selling BTC for $8.50.    So if it is some random scammer claiming to be sturles well he is a scammer.
on edit:  is it this guy (who got caught pretending to sturles) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=125489.0;topicseen ?

BTW a link to "rep" means nothing.  Anyone can link to anyone profile.  See here is an authentic link to my house:  http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/image/whitehouse_historypg.jpg



Hint:  NOBODY is selling BTC for $8.50.  They could sell on fastcash4bitcoins 24/7/365 with no risk and and get more than $11 right now.

sorry, few more questions, should i mention the bitcoint thing to paypal? this guy also has couple of positive reviews tbh... here is the link to him: https://www.bitcoinary.com/en/users/1877/profile

For the future: Don't just look at the reviews. Click the trades. You will see that all of these reviews are by members 1 or 2 days old. It can be reasonably assumed that each and everyone of those is a sock puppet of the guy who scammed you.

I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

BCB I think I speak for everyone when I say you're a beast.  Excellent work friend. 

And hopefully this will serve as a warning to other would be scumbag scammers. 

Charlie Kelly: I'm pleading the 5th.  The Attorney: I would advise you do that.  Charlie Kelly: I'll take that advice under cooperation, alright? Now, let's say you and I go toe-to-toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor?  The Attorney: You know, I don't think I'm going to do anything close to that and I can clearly see you know nothing about the law.

Guess what.  This num nuts shows up on bitcoinary claiming to be Glooboy from irc trying to scam again tonight.    We might have to contact his Mixed Martial Arts coach Charles Johnson from Waukesha, Wisconsin on facebook  and let him know what his student has been up to.

BCB is a legend Cheesy



I can verify that I got a refund of 60 dollars + he sent me 20 dollars later. I'm not very happy with the note he left lol "Now dont do anything on the forum". Will see what paypal thinks about that. I guess my story is over. And I cant believe he just tried to scam someone again?!

thank you everyone and THANK YOU BCB

thanx everyone. so much help from all of u.

now there is this new guy has contacted me, look at what he wrote to me, sounds like a scam? Or could he be legit? thanx


"Alright whats your bitcoin address? Here is my feedback http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=sturles

And you must send the paypal funds as a gift, otherwise your order will be cancelled and refunded."

I told him that i was just scammed and i won't buy anything until it is resolved. this is what he wrote:

"Alright look if we can trade now so I can meet my quote before the end of the day I can give you coins at 8.50$ each if you pay with a moneypak and 9.50$ if you pay with paypal. Deal? And whats the scammers name I can run an IP Zeus on him and hijack his bitcoin wallet."
No send nothing with paypal

PayPal doesn't like people to use their service for the exchange of Bitcoin.

Correction.  They don't allow their payment network for the purchases of coins where PayPal is paid with the expectation of digital currency in return.     They seem to be fine with the use of Bitcoin cash-out where PayPal is the payment network used for settlement of the cash-out transaction.

It is pretty easy for PayPal to verify which is occurring.  When Bitcoin cash-out is occurring, the person providing cash-out will mostly have a flow of funds that is in inflow of funds through bank transfers and an outflow to other individuals.  The PayPal account will generally maintain a sizable account balance and will be paying the PayPal fee (either Mass Pay or the normal 2.9% + $0.30 per trx).  There are few payments received from other PayPal users so this is an account with a low risk profile to PayPal.  These account usually have never filed a chargeback and have never had a chargeback filed against them.

When a party is instead accepting PayPal to sell bitcoin, the risk profile is nearly the opposite.   The flow of funds is mostly incoming from other PayPal users -- mostly using funds sent from a credit card.  The account quickly withdraws or spends the funds, thus there is a low balance in the account.  It doesn't take long for chargebacks to be filed against these accounts.

So PayPal allows one and freezes funds and closes the account for the other.

If only this were true!   EMC's PP account was shut down and all it did was payout funds and maintained a sizable balance.  They are still holding onto at least $750 of mine that they refuse to release.  Paypal is the debil.


If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it.  There was never anything there in the first place.

That thing about navy seals was funny and it was in perfect English, unlike the rest of his communication.  So a quick search on the interwebs found quite a few of the exact same quote.   Smiley

So all of this because some moron couldn't wait for his order to process.

if this is about me, u r the only moron here. He did admit he scammed me at the end. He never sent BTC so there is no order to process. Can't see why you would insult me.

If it is not about me, than i never meant to write the above thing.
