orryde (HERO Member) scammed me off 100$ in BTC

[prasha2]

Hi Guys

What Happened?
I created a BTC->paypal exchange thread. I had 100$ in BTC and wanted paypal equivalent. Here is the thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1499601

I received a PM from orryde (Hero Member). He offered me 112$ in paypal for my 100$ in BTC. I accepted his offer and told him to post the offer on my thread so it becomes public. Since he was a HERO member,  I decided to go ahead with the transfer fo 100$ in BTC.

After I sent the BTCs, I messaged him to send me paypal. But he has completely stopped responding to messages. Also, I can see the BTCs move from his initial address to another one (9 minutes after I sent him the BTCs).

I have already waited for over 12 hours. I really think I have been scammed here.

Let's leave RED TRUST for the time being. If he gets back, we can remove the RED TRUST. This is to prevent him from scamming anyone else.

He moved his fund from the wallet already .So if he has any intention to send PayPal he could sent already also Looks like he was trying to sell his account. sorry of your loss.

Probably a sold account, though I have no proof.  That's just by looking at his trust and it fits the scammer pattern.

Hi Guys, can we leave him RED TRUST? Otherwise he might CAM other people. If he comes back to me with paypal, we can remove those ratings. Thanks

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I left him neg trust, but I'm not dt.  Just be patient.   You started this thread just recently.

Forum accounts are bought and sold all the time, so don't trust the hero or legendary status anymore. They can also be used to scam multiple times before getting caught so don't fall for that "my account is worth more" excuse.

How do we know when the user has last changed his password? Before sending him BTCs, I tried looking for this info but couldn't find it.

Shows: This user changed his/her password recently.

https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php - search for username and you'll find when it was changed.

Damn, this really sucks... Definitely a lesson to use escrow in the future, whatever ranked member you're dealing with. Escrows are probably the safest way to prevent such things from happening.

But, please do use the scam report format. Although he's already got the negative trust he deserves.

I was going to have a deal with this guy for $118 Skrill yesterday, he wanted me to send first, but I insisted on escrow and contacted OgNasty for escrow, never heard of him after.

Shit man. I should have used escrow. But I went ahead considering he was HERO member.

okay that just prove his intention.
this account must have been bought buy a scammer.  $100 still is an easy money for them. should be tagged scammer by dt.

Dude, I guess we need to stop account trading on this forum altogether. This has resulted in many scams in the near future.

This is not the first time, nor the last time a scam is pulled using bought accounts.
When will you learn people, use escrow, even if the process is slow sometimes, and there might be fees, but paying a 1% fee is better than losing 100% of your money.
Many times I get a deal with Hero, Senior, Legendary... I tell them no disrespect but we should use escrow, even green trusted members can be hacked or sold account, sometimes you need the escrow to prove who they are by a signed message. No disrespect here, only caution.

BTC price increasing so any amount is good for scammers , He had sent me PM before to deal but i ignored them as i want to hold my btc and will not sell then at preev rate.

I wholeheartedly agree with this and have started leaving negs for buyers and sellers of accounts.   Not that my trust carries weight.  But I deleted the DT list from my trust page and I'm making my own.  I don't trust account buyers or sellers.

Dont consider anyone unless they are repped, but even then I would still use escrow.

But if youre accepting paypal, thats a different animal on its own since you can send the bitcoin and he can easily chargeback at anytime dumping his account.
