Scammer amzonseller scammed me $150

[xinzark]

What happened::  Yesterday he created a Thread in Currency exchange stating he have $150 bitcoin and wanted to exchange for pm or webmoney. At that time I have $150 pm so I posted on that thread as well as pmed him. He was agree with my rates and decided to go first. He then sent me 0.4BTC($150) to my wallet. I checked my bitcoin address and it was there but Unconfirmed. He wanted a fast exchange so I also sent him pm. Now when I open my wallet again bitcoin was not there. I checked that address for that transaction but that transaction I saw was also missing. Then I know the bitcoin he sent me was double spended which was reversed. I asked him to send my bitcoin again and again but got no reply from him. I thought giving him some time would be better than instantly creating a scam accusations against him. Yesterday late night I found he created a thread again saying he have $148 bitcons and he want pm or webmoney. Same thing again. But fortunately I pmed the opposite part on time and saved him being scammed again. I thought its now time to create a thread otherwise he will keep scamming. Guys I don't know what to do. This is the second time I got scammed. $63 few weeks ago and now $150. I am totally pissed off from this community which are inviting more and more scammers every hour with new tricks

surely not that bright for a hero member now are you. Did you purchase that account?

firstly, amzonseller already has negative feedback and is known for wasting time, http://archive.is/3Mi5Y

secondly, why didnt you wait for atleast 1 confirmation or utilize an escrow ? Sometimes, its people like you who fuel the scammers as they don't even need to try hard now adays.

sorry for your loss.

Which account ?

I believe he's referring to your current account (xinzark). any long time bitcointalk users should now what a double spend is. it's not a new trick and is very hard to miss if you've been here for a year.

anyway sorry for your loss. and you should be more careful and use escrow next time.

Yeah I know about double spend but this happened first time with me.
Also not every wallet allows you to double spend and it also need some knowledge and practice I guess
I thought such situation will not happen with me
And No, Account was not bought. I stay busy in my studies that's why I missed to notice a double spend. I was also in a hurry so that's was also a plus point for scammer

I learned about this way of scamming a month ago when a user was scammed in a similar way and hence I wait for atleast 1 confirmation or I check if the transaction has a fee added which will get the transaction confirmed. It's sad that you lost such a big amount due to double spend and hence bitcoins also can be reversed.

The user already had a negative feedback from a DT member and hope you had to be a little more careful. Users who are in a hurry to get their money always wait for such mistakes committed by us. But it's sad to see that scammers still get more targets despite their trust ratings.

Exact similar situation happened with me here but I was lucky enough to not pay him money.

Sorry for your loss. Be careful from next time. Deal using escrow(s) or with trusted users and pay them some fee. It's better rather than getting scammed for the entire amount.
