Attention! Scam !!! www.btc-coupon.com Scam

[Vlegale]

Dear Friends,
I am exchanging bitcoins and BTC-e codes to cash and back in Russia and EU.
I had a request to sell bitcoins for 450k euro.
The buyer was ready but insisted to use only this service for exchange.
He did not except any other proofs that I have bitcoins.
He rejected to use lockalbitcoins as well.
I do not have a 100% proof that this service btc-coupon.com is a scam but it looks like it.
They created a website and waiting for a big balances on clients accounts....

That' s about all. Just I think that you should all know about it.

Good luck to all.

You had the equivalent of 450,000 euro in bitcoin that you wanted to sell for cash? With those sort of funds you should be extra careful and spread the transaction out across many trusted sources at the best BTC rate possible.  Better to warn people about suspicious sites like these, but sometimes extra escrow can make it impossibly expensive.

I am tying to be caful. Selling a small amount is not profitable. People are paying extra to get a big amount, from my personal experience.

so you lost 450k euro??? you had a wallet with 450k euros in bitcoin ? can you sign a message from that wallet? maybe can be anti advertisement

Where does it say that the OP lost 450k EUR?

Instead of trying new website services like these, just stick with the forum.

It saves a lot of headache and stress, and you`ll always have a good time as long you have a trusted escrow per trade.

Exactly ! I did not say that I lost. Just a warning for people.

I can confirm this is a scam.

I was going to sell some dude less than one BTC. For some reason I let myself be talked into creating a coupon on btc-coupon.com...he said it would be faster this way as we wouldn't have to wait for the confirmations when we met.

Anyway, he didn't show up. I went back home, redeemed the coupon I had created and withdrew my BTC - the money never showed up in my wallet.

I obviously checked on blockchain.info whether there was any transaction associated with my receiving address, but there wasn't.

My own fault - I should have know better.

I have arranged a meeting and then he asked a few days later to deposit the coins into btc-coupon. As i refused, he wasn't very happy and of course didn't come to the meeting point (as he wouldn't anyway). Claims to be from Cologne, Germany and speaks German fluent.

Let's all abuse him on namecheap and get this website down.

I filed a police report online the same day I lost my money. Didn't really expect this would lead anyway, but I actually received a phone call yesterday asking me to come to the station and make another statement. Since the guy is obviously German maybe they think it's worthwhile doing something.
I'll keep you posted.

Send me a PM concerning this, may provide you with some further details of this guy (conversation etc).

BTW: Scheinst ja auch Deutscher zu sein, vielleicht lässt sich da was machen gegen diesen Betrüger. Insbesondere in Kooperation mit dem BKA/LKA da du die Cybercrime der regulären Polizei leider völlig vergessen kannst.

Thanks Darkchange, but this was easier than expected. This stupid kid didn't put much effort into his criminal enterprise and now he's fucked.
He's taken his site down, but too little too late.
This was kind of fun.

Now you can see that I made this post on time, unfortunately people did not search internet before paying to unknown services. Good luck to find this asswhole and put him to a prison.
I can send some screen shorts it it would be necessary to help.
