Master-P SCAMMER. I lost complete faith in this forum now.

[Tabata11]

Can you guys mark this guy red too? This person came to me first and suggested Master-P as escrow. I was making a trade with him but all communication stopped as soon as I put my coins into escrow, which I suspect it was "Master-P" using a shill to scam.

Also, check out the feedback left by Jocuserious and look at his previous posts. If I'm not mistaken, someone pointed out that Master-P posted a lot in the alt section and the style is very similar to when Master-P was posting in the alt section as well...just wanted to point something out

Where have you been?

Can you please update the OP of this thread a bit.

Maybe add this info about antonioserrano72, add a link to the loss thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1307926, add a link to Master-P's profile.

Your thread seems to be the main one about this scam so more info would be useful.

This has become one of the major scam thread here in btctalk.   seem like there is no justification to whatever happen to master p.

[koshgel]

Just getting caught up on what happened. That is a pretty large sum of BTC to run off with.

There's no trail to his real identity?

TECSHARE currently is "threatning" master-p with his dox released publicly if he doesnt make all the right moves before 1st of Jan.

It's a fucking shame too. I sell here, without fee's to pay except btc transaction fees but that ain't nothing. bitcointalk is a great place too, it's being buried with scammers since day one.

This shit here boils my blood.

tecshare says he has master-p's dox. its scheduled to be released on jan 1st if the coins are not returned or prooof is provided that master-p's accounts (all of them, forum, steam, email, including his wallet) were in some way hacked, leading to this whole fiasco.

[HITTI2]

Reading this, makes me think if his stuff was stolen, and ended like this, someone might have grabbed his lastpass password in some kind of way. This is the only thing I can think of how he lost it all.

Or, you know, actually know your trading partners well enough to know when something is not right...

Unbelievable how quickly people forget that Bitcoin was designed to enable PERSON TO PERSON transactions. Then everyone demands it be like every other system with mommy and daddy telling you things will be ok, dictating to everyone what they can and can't do. Then we are back where we started. Take some personal responsibility.

This incident with Master-P never would have happened if you had not demanded someone else take responsibility for your personal liabilities. When you do this you are basically saying that you have no faith in your own ability to make sound judgements and do research, and or you are too lazy. Then you wag your finger at everyone else when things don't work out. You people need to look in the mirror.

So you trade only with persons you know IRL since at least 2 years?

Person to person transactions, as you say, doesn't change the fact that you can be scammed, in any way. If I want to buy something, I have no guarantee whatsoever that it will be sent unless I know really well the seller and trust him. But to trust him, I need to have made at least a few deals with him.

Trust is built, built on what? On successfull exchanges. And I don't see the link between "your own ability to make sound judgements" and business trust. You're saying we should make researches on everyone we trade with? Fair enough, and how do you do when it's a first trade for someone? Imagine someone wanting to sell a 700$ worth miner, but he's not a legendary trusted member and never made a trade here, he's still a newbie. So how do you do your "own judgement" TECSHARE here? Or you tell him "nah bro, can't deal with you, wait for 2 or 3 years and when I'll know you better then maybe.

Not saying escrow is perfect, but you can't say it's just because "people are too lazy to do there own research".

[flagpara]

It's so sad that people would abuse the trust in the community for such little effort and reward. There are people who are legitimately invested in the bitcoin community and monetary values don't matter these individuals. I hope in the future, honest people who want to be involved with bitcoin, not willing to sell out for a few thousands dollars will be involved here. Use your judgement when conducting transactions. I hope something like this never happens again.

So little effort and reward? 10k$ is little reward? ^^

Not saying it's good, but can't say it's just a little thing, was probably worth it. Damn the guy left with 25btc, it's quite a huge amount! Lots of people steal, hurt or even kill for far much less!

I am back home. I was able to access my personal wallet which contains addresses I've used for transacting here on Bitcointalk. The address I used below is one where I sold a 2500k processor to "ChanceCoats123" here on Bitcointalk. The transaction is escrowed by OgNasty. He may verify this if he wishes to. This took place in June 2015.

Clearsign signature below:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Comment: Signed by Bitcoin Armory v0.93.2

This is master-P signing this message using the address: 18ovXpWyu5kpmT6Lzp49PKDCtZNQoPhmGQ

This is an address used back in June 2015 for a transaction that involved OGNasty as the escrow.

I did not sell my account. My account was hacked and any other claims stating otherwise are false.

The hacker does not have control of the wallet that contains this address as far as I can tell.
