I'm quite Dissapointed, I was scammed here in this Forum.

[cheepingknickers]

Hi guys I want to voice out my disappointment and frustration just this morning. I will post the proofs of our transactions and conversation and the rest of the details later, once everything is not resolved within 24 hours. But as of the moment i want to stress how I was scammed. Just a typical Newbie and Neophyte to Signature Campaign adds, I'm one of those people who wants to earn from it for a living, since i'm a newbie my opportunities to gain profit is limited as to it requires to have High Rank accounts in order to be competitive and to gain profit from it. So i decided that I will purchase an account which is already at that stage.

I posted and searched from one of the threads here hoping to find someone who would sell an account with a reasonable price to me. Luckily I found one. He/She sent a Pm on me informing me that He/She has an account of that rank and is willing to sell to me. After all the discussions, we came up to and agreement of such which ended for my unfortunate fate. At first I suggested to him/her that we will transact it via ESCROW , since I am a newbie, I asked Him/Her a favor to guide me through the process. He/She discouraged me on that process as it will require more time to comply with the process and it also require payment as to such method of transaction as He/She said.

Since I'm a newbie, I don't have any other option but rather to go with His/Her condition. He/She suggested that I should be the First one to take the first move. I should pay Him/Her first, after the payment He/She will give the account login details to me. I understand the risk it will undergo with this type of method, But still I Pursued to transact with it as to reason which was stated above. At first He/she gave me her BTC wallet address (which I will post all the details later once everything is not resolved within 24hours) that I should pay it with this specific amount as to what we have agreed. After the payment the account details will be sent to me. I took the first move, I paid it directly understanding the risks it would take, and hoping that He/She will not scam me.

After paying it.... Now My unfortunate fate has begun. He/She is not replying anymore. I sent him/her the proof of payment as to maybe He/She is not convinced that I paid it. But still she did not reply anymore.

Unfortunately today I was scammed, I paid for nothing. I always believe that "A mistake is not a mistake if it is not done again"... So I would probably say, I learned a lot of lesson today, Not to deal with people who has unreasonable rank level unless the transaction undergoes with the ESCROW method,.....

BTW, are there any possibilities or solution to track down my scammer in this forum? If there is, can you please help me with it. In order for Him/Her to suffer the consequences... Will be glad to offer a small of amount of satoshis as a form of reward. I believe this person has multiple accounts here can we track down his related accounts which was created under one unique Public Ip Address, I believe there is a solution to this. Anyhow I thank you so much for sparing some time on reading my Thread. I may say i have wasted your time on expressing my disappointment today. But I would really appreciate it so much if you can help me on tracking this person who scammed me.

sad story,this is should never happen anymore,people always suggest to use escrow,and its important thing if you dont want get scammed. and also how much amount of bitcoin that lost?
dont do transaction to low rank member,its potentially scamming you.

[adaseb]

No there is nothing you can do. Bitcoins can't be reversed.


I don't even think you are allowed to buy or sell forum accounts since that usually leads to more fraud being committed on the account that gets bought. Because usually its sold by someone who was honest, and gets bought by someone who will try and scam people.

In the future, always use escrow.

[European Central Bank]

I don't even think you are allowed to buy or sell forum accounts since that usually leads to more fraud being committed on the account that gets bought.

Sure you are. they don't like and certainly don't encourage it but the mods stay out of it. quite often other users will leave negative trust if they find out the name of the account.

sorry for your loss op. now you're a true bitcoiner earlier than you wanted to be.

[xhomerx10]

What made you think you could make a living posting in here in the first place?  How does a newbie come in here and think he can buy an account, post from it and make a living?
This story of yours is hard to believe.  You are keeping something from us while soliciting our sympathies. That in itself is a scam.

[cheepingknickers]

How big was the scam  ?

Not that much sir @Diver6691 , It was quite and Experience though that I will never forget of how He/She scammed me. His/her Procedure of scamming me was Unique, to the point that at an early stage no one would easily consider it as a fraud. It was a total of 3 transactions. At first the person offered me a low rank account, and we were good with that and then later on He/she offered me a much higher rank account with a minimal amount that should be added in order that he/she will give the high ranked account. But with the condition that I will give back the low ranked that i previously purchased from him/her. So then in my level of experience considering the 1st transaction was good enough for me to trust him/her the 2nd time around. So paid it.... and i demanded to have the account details.... but later on....  He/she changed his mind, and would be selling the 2 accounts instead, as she/he told me I should add another extra payment to have both of the accounts at a least amount. After paying the 3rd transaction to have the both of it. THe person did not reply to me anymore.

And then I started to realize I was scammed.....     I was so dumb to fall for it..... I regret is so much transacting to this person......

[xhomerx10]

How much did you pay?
What are the TXids?
You give no details even when asked directly.

[oksana28]

@op you are rounding on and on..the topic ,I can understand your feeling but I wish if you could blow the cover of the scammer then it will be good for others as they will be warned of that filthy guy.
Do mention the account for the trade was initiated , and the lead account and screenshot as proof.
Will be happy to tag that fycker.

This story of yours is hard to believe.  You are keeping something from us while soliciting our sympathies. That in itself is a scam.

hi sir @xhomerx10 , I'm not seeking your sympathy nor gathering some post in order to increase my rank. This story is not a built up story to raise sympathy on my side. I am also not forcing you to believe on my claims. I belong in a 3rd world country, where your small amounts of bitcoins is already enough to supply our daily needs, enough to provide the necessary things in order to survive. Even at a small amount of btc, as long as your scammed it will always remain as a fraud no matter of what level it is. Sorry though If you think I wasted your time reading on my claims which you consider is a made up story to gather sympathy.

I will give all the necessary details and even tag the account who frauded me after 24 hours, If this is not resolved between the both of us. I'm giving him a chance to reconsider on what He/She did to me, If nothing happens ,Then that's the time I will react against his/her will.

[crairezx20]

Next time dont trust anybody for now you can not get it back.. you are first step to report it so that other people can be warn about this..
Honestly the only thing that i can suggest to you nextime don't trust anybody always use escrow for deals unknow people..

 We need proof not words.  You needed proof not words and you were scammed.  I'm not the only one to have asked you directly for proof yet you have offered none.  You most certainly are seeking sympathy.

[Daneric]

This forum has people who are just waiting for anybody who doesn't understand the rules to pounce on them and scam them. it is unfortunate that you did not understand that buying of accounts is not allowed. The forum has very clear steps on how one can become a member and how he climbs up the ranks. it is appropriate to start from the lower rank and advance steadily to the highest. When you advance steadily, you are able to understand the forum and it's rules and you will earn genuinely. What I know is that those who have bought accounts with an intention of using them to earn end receiving negative trusts because they don't know the rules of the forum. It's good that you have registered. Just keep on contributing to this forum and you will grow in rank

[minifrij]

At first I suggested to him/her that we will transact it via ESCROW , since I am a newbie, I asked Him/Her a favor to guide me through the process. He/She discouraged me on that process as it will require more time to comply with the process and it also require payment as to such method of transaction as He/She said.

Since I'm a newbie, I don't have any other option but rather to go with His/Her condition.

That's not true at all. Account rank means nothing in terms of trading on this forum (or at least it shouldn't). You should have continued to push for escrow, and if they continued to refuse you should have not taken the deal.
You should only trust members based on your own judgement, not by factors like their trust score or account rank. If you didn't trust this member after they said they didn't want to use escrow, you shouldn't have carried on with the deal.

BTW, are there any possibilities or solution to track down my scammer in this forum? If there is, can you please help me with it. In order for Him/Her to suffer the consequences... Will be glad to offer a small of amount of satoshis as a form of reward. I believe this person has multiple accounts here can we track down his related accounts which was created under one unique Public Ip Address, I believe there is a solution to this.

If you can post the account/Bitcoin Address that you traded with there is a chance someone might be able to find them in a way similar to what happens here, but otherwise there isn't much chance. A mod/admin wouldn't get involved with IP evidence for such a small case, especially when account sales are discouraged by the forum.

Oh there are plenty of people who do exactly that.  It's why much of this forum is completely shitty.  Luckily the mods are pretty good and nuke shitposters damn quick.  But I want to see the proof here.

[cheepingknickers]

I believe that you will not understand the conversation since it started in my Country's sub-forum (Philippines). He/she sent a pm directly to my inbox and we had our conversation in our own dialect which is Filipino. BTW I am from Philippines,... Will be tagging and exposing his identity tomorrow if he still does not respond to my messages.....

and if sir @xhomerx10 will now tell me that your in the wrong section,You should have posted your concerns to your own subforum. I have my own reason why I had it posted in this section, coz i believe that there are people who has higher ranked accounts and that has better ideas on resolving my concern or that could probably help me on track the person who scammed me.. SIr @xhomerx10 just be patient enough... if this person still does not respond to me I'll have him exposed, and I will exert extra efforts on translating our conversation from Filipino(Tagalog) to English in order for you to understand.  To prove that I'm not making up stories as what you have indicated from above, which made you concluded that I am just seeking for sympathy....


sir @The Pharmacist, will keep you posted if this person does not respond to me by tomorrow......

[cheepingknickers]

Next time dont trust anybody for now you can not get it back.. you are first step to report it so that other people can be warn about this..
Honestly the only thing that i can suggest to you nextime don't trust anybody always use escrow for deals unknow people..

Thanks for this information sir @crairezx20, I did learned that lesson the moment i realized that I was scammed. Yes sir I will agree to you on that from now when dealing with people which is not known to me. Thanks. Appreciate it so much.

 So you're a Newbie and neophyte are you?

sa pagkakaalam ko base sa experience ko.. limited lang sa 4 - 6 accounts ang pwede mong gawin in one public ip dito sa forum na ito, unless you use vpn's you can make many accounts as you like. If your asking for the reason baka merun silang restriction if your affiliated with other forums, i guess there is no such thing like that.

 Those aren't the ramblings of a newbie.  I'm even more skeptical of your story now.

Just this morning after series of message to my scammer... He replied to me and gave me the account he used to scam me instead (which was not agreed upon).. Probably this would be better rather than nothing. Please disregard this post or delete it.

sir @xhomerx10, I really appreciate your efforts. That's why i did not give his/her account details and such evidences you require as proof of our transaction via Personal Messages because I was hoping that his/her mind will change, and give what is rightfully mine after the payment. If you think this is a made up story, It's up you... I cannot convince you to believe on me, specially now that he changed his/her mind. After all I'm glad that this fraud transaction turned out well. If you have the authority or capacity to delete this thread, I'd very glad for you help.. Thanks and God Bless....

Whaaat ? To earn a living from a signature campaign ? Get a job or something dude.I think you're not scammed,you deserved what you get for disobeying forum rules.

 I have no authority to delete messages but you as the owner of this message should have the ability to:

1) change the topic to reflect what actually occurred.
2) lock the thread if you no longer require user input (look to the lower left at the bottom of the page for that option)
3) move this thread to the "archival" section; the option for move is also on the lower left.

Pax tecum.
