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=1499601I 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.

If he gets back, we can remove the RED TRUST. This is to prevent him from scamming anyone else.

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

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.

Before sending him BTCs, I tried looking for this info but couldn't find it.

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.

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.

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

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.
