IDK if there's a better thread for this, but I got a scam attempt from (no Bitcointalk username match) nicoled on Local Trader. ID 1JcUks...BDvL2w
Tried to get me to send XLM first, claimed I was "new" despite my 876 day account age vs their 24. I referred them to bitrated.com/thebutterzone/linked (and put my trader name in my profile for them, temporarily) but they ignored all my cross-linked ratings, then they tried to run the "increments" con, then after my last refusal they said "Yea and I'm stupid enough to send btc... No thanks" and stopped the trade. I found their offer under Buy Bitcoin in Los Angeles, CA. Screenshots taken if anyone wants me to upload to Imgur.
Upload them here please and expose them. It always makes my day when dishonest people are stopped on their tracks long before they can wreak havoc on someone’s financial life. Expose their Mycelium credentials and any links you found about them. I know it’s probably moot, considering they could simply change their trader credentials and btc address but giving them all that work to do is a small piece of justice.
Yep, the increments scam is how they hit those they can’t outsmart or those they can’t boss around for the full amount. Then they throw a hissy fit when you refuse to send even smaller amounts of coin upfront. Priceless.
