I got scammed

[Lookback@it]

I was scammed out of $590 in amazon gift coupon.

My Nic on bit-OTC is Jesse James the kid

The fictitious user on there I traded with was Nic ryagouse.

I have good evidence to support the claim that this user is in fact the permanent member there "darkee" who is an aspiring mma fighter from Waukesha, WI (near the university of Wisconsin at Madison)

I am giving this information because I want to help others who may use the bit-OTC service.

I am in the process as time permits of making a complete essay style write up of everything that happened including bit-OTC users whom selflessly have done their own research and helped me tremendously and I would recommend with the highest confidence.

Those users are "fonzischeme" and "aetheron"

Is there any way that you can get your money back?

An MMA fighter in Waukesha, WI scamming bitcoins again?  Really?  What are the odds that this is one of the Hower boys again (Derek or Harrison)?

When did this happen?

Unfortunatly there are a lot of scammer in #bitcoin-otc and the mod don't seem to do much about it.

I got scammed as well. Helpless feeling, not much to do about it. As a result I spend a lot of time trying to establish a posaitive relationship. I guess not much point. Good news is that there are far more trustworthy people than bad ones.

Only place I trust to get Amazon certificates: http://btcbuy.info/

Don't trade for any digital good that can be bought with a credit card unless you know the person has an active trading history for more than 3 months...

I agree there are a lot of trustworthy ppl in the ltc and btc forums and shops etc., this won't be true once the masses catch on, but there will be more secure ways of doing business with people once that happens as well.

Are amazon gift certificates reversible?

Are amazon gift certificates reversible?

Semi-reversible...If you raise enough hell with Amazon they will reverse them but if you make a habbit of it they will stop.
I do trades both ways for Amazon e-Certificates and have only posiotive feedback see here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=133935.0)
