Escrow Partner got tricked

[amartin99]

this is a vary strange situation

I was chatting with "SebastianJu"  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=18640
and  "Ralobot.com"  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=561660
over a traid

I sent "SebastianJu" 0.64329373 BTC https://blockchain.info/tx/5c8e38c069f06f69fefa68331c7eb0e2d6537cd1cb914aa839ced40843d1d6d5
worth $270 now
"Ralobot.com" was to send me $279.93 in PM or skrill
he has sent me nothing
but I got an email http://prntscr.com/ab344z
saying that "SebastianJu" sent me a PM saying he has received one from me telling him to release the BTC
I never sent "SebastianJu" any such PM
and I can't find this PM from him in my account
 I don't see my last PM to "SebastianJu" in my history either

but I see his BTC account is now empty

I have not heard from either of them on this
feel I just got scammed out of $270

Seb is an experienced escrow, he usually knows what he does and it's hard believing the got tricked that easy into releasing escrowed funds.
Did you contact him after receiving the email and ask him about this?

[khalized]

could be a scam attempt, you receive a fake email from the forum that "simulate" an original one.
wait SebastianJu reply, but if you can't see in your messages history well it's a fake message

[amartin99]

I have sent I have sent SebastianJu 2 messages that didn't get saved in my outbox
now I see this has gotten unchecked  http://prntscr.com/ab3bdp
is it possible my account got hacked ?

This can be done via settings. Sebastian probably has the messages still in his inbox and can quote them for us.

is it possible my account got hacked?

Seems the most logic explanation to me right now.
Also explains why you got an email, but the message itself was deleted from your inbox.
I'd suggest you to change your password.
For your coins, it's probably already be too late though.


Seems like it's not your escrow that got tricked, but your account that got invaded.

some times I use a really simple pass but I just checked and here im using a 17 key random pass (I get them from roboforum generator)
some of it looks like this "t6X$S@"
and going on for 17 key's
NO CHANCE anyone guessed that or brute forced the forum

[amartin99]

well after checking on my pass I and surten there is no way I got hacked or a failure at my end
the only contact I have had with either of them was threw the forum so no way they hacked my computer
if I got hacked it was some how done threw the forum itself

Never say never.


Let's wait for Seb to reply and clear the situation.

Wait Sebastianju reply!
I have read in this section a new way of scam, where people send fake message through email, I think at this moment the best reply is from escrow.
(ps if are moved = there are also wallet of exchange... then there are possibilities about recover these funds)

can some forum MOD get me a list of the IP's used to access my account ?
my current IP is **.27.94.31
and it hasn't changed in days


iv been on this IP since the 23rd of last month infact
my IP changes when my modem reboots but my website logs have me using this IP since the 23rd

AFAIK moderators don't have access to IPs (at least that's to my information last time I talked to Lauda).

my current IP is [...] and it hasn't changed in days

Wouldn't post my IP like that, but maybe that's just me.
On second thought, your behind VPN anyway, right?

They won't. Could have just used a VPN, proxy, TOR, etc anyway.

Download any software lately? Entering your password on a phishing page could also be a possibility.

ok I changed the first coup[le numbers to **

seems to me someone getting ripped off in there forum $250
should be a priority to them
not a big deal to check the logs
I just checked my sites logs in less then a min

It's not. People get ripped off here everyday, some for less and some for much much more. There is nothing they can or will do to help you. Your BTC is gone. Find out how your account was compromised and don't make the same mistake again.

First off mods don't have the ability to check IP logs, even if they did they wouldn't do so in any circumstances let alone because of a scam accusation.

Waiting for Seb is the best course of action

[amartin99]

also im not massively interested in tracking down the person by his IP
im interested in confirming if any such PM was sent from my account to "SebastianJu"

I see three options
A someone hacked my account and sent him the PM (so he did nothing wrong)
B someone sent him a fake PM from another account (he made a mistake)
C he sent me a fake email and took the money for himself

I want to find out what happened
I expect im out the money
but I need to KNOW what happened not just guess

[Lutpin]

I see three options
A someone hacked my account and sent him the PM (so he did nothing wrong)

My bet would be on this option.

B someone sent him a fake PM from another account (he made a mistake)

possible, but unlikely, as I already said, Seb is experienced with doing escrow, someone might try to trick him that way, I don't think he would fall for it though.

C he sent me a fake email and took the money for himself

No way, what address was the mail sent from? Easy to verify that it comes from the forum and not from anyone faking it.

but I need to KNOW what happened not just guess

Seb can help you with that more than any of us can, let's wait for him.

[mexxer-2]

but I need to KNOW what happened not just guess

Waiting patiently helps, I heard.

[amartin99]

the email appears to have come from noreply@bitcointalk.org
but that is easily faked

[lolxxxx]

but I need to KNOW what happened not just guess

Waiting patiently helps, I heard.

Mexxer-2 tell him everything in detail in private message he can help you, maybe SebastianJu sent the bitcoins to other address mostly escrow's do that .
