I was looking for a switchable PDU He messaged me, had one, $130CAD which was what they went for on ebay abouts, He had good status, and at the time of the deal NO negative trust. It wasn't a lot, so I didn't bother with escrow. and I'm not crying over the money just pointing out what happened In the bellow image is him messaging me, he never quoted so it made it a pain in the ass And the transaction of the BTC I sent him. He hasn't responded to me since tuesday but has been online every day. I can now claim scammer. Probably bought someones account. Ah well

Sorry for your loss, this is another illustration of why no matter a user's status, you should always play on the safe side and use escrow. I have marked the account with negative feedback until this is rectified. Here is the link to his profile in case anyone else would like to give trust feedback on carlosiness: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=109711

These muthafuckas and they bought accounts, it's craizy. You always gots to sit with yo back to the door on this here forum, lest they wrangle what we call the back door method of theft upon your privates. Cain't trust no one here, an' devthedev is right, 'specially not jist because of activity points. Nor trust fo' that matter. That don't mean shit when accounts is gettin' sold.

I think account sales are the big issue here, because if you look pre this month, no issue to think he isn't a standup user, then they buy accounts and just go heavy on the scam push and run. Disappointing really. Wish I knew the original owners contact info, would give him a blast of shit as well lol

Looks like you're not the only victim. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1718102.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1718470.0Scam would've been prevented if you refused to directly made a deal with him without an escrow. He may be high rank but that does not mean that he is trusted because you already know that account sales is unavoidable. It is not avcout sales fault why people gets scammed, it's because people learned to trust by rank. Next time check their background first before dealing. Sorry for your loss.

Yeah, if you look at the dates, I was the first. But yes trusting by rank was the downfall. As I said, I'm not crying over a 100USD meh I'm sure I go ahead without escrow again in the future. But it would seem this user made a switch, clearly either sold or hacked account. Or owner fell on hard times

Hi friend, I'm in a period in which to meet many scammers here on this forum. One of the main reasons is that I put an ad [WTS] on international section. Among the many, I have also been contacted by Carlossiness that I wanted to sell a SP35 without even knowing what it was. Attention: he had also consented to the payment by Paypal, then surely he also stole a Paypal account. Here is the evidence: http://imgur.com/jsyfgs0,FEkj5fLThis is the photo to prove him property!! I did not proceed with the transaction. Good Bye.

You can't prove that it wasn't you. Since the password wasn't changed, it adds even more suspicion towards the culprit being you (though it could have been the potential hacker's way of infiltrating people's trust undetected). There is no way to prove that an account was hacked, and likewise there is no way to prove that an account wasn't hacked. However, I'm leaning more towards 'your account was not hacked'. It was suspicious of your posting quality (grammar, structure, punctuation) to chance from the hiatus between July and December, though that's still not an indication of hack (but it does help your case).
What made you decide to revisit the forum all of a sudden, though? That seems pretty suspicious (even if this was a month after the scams)

I have an email for not official mails, for forums, torrent and etc which I check very rarely, for example when I am registering on new forum or on unclear page (when I do not want to get spam). So this was that time. I checked my email and I see a lot of messages/mails from this forum. When I loooked closer I understood what is going on... Ok, then I went to this forum and logged in. I saw fraud on this account. Then I realised that password was not changed. I cannot undestand WHY??? even now. Maybe for this intention that it would not be easy to prove that I am not guilty. Now I changed it. About posting quality. I am not fluent speaker in english, so you can make the false allegations.. I believe admins have log where they can see login location and so on..but, yes, internet can let you login from any location as you wish...

Dude, you're pretty screwed. The "I got hacked" story is pretty threadbare at this point, as it's been used so many times. No one is likely to take you at your word here, though I can't speak for everyone obviously.

Yes you can speak like that when you have not been in such situation... ok, for me it is enough... Why I need to spend time for the search of justice if I don't use this forum anymore??? I don't want to waste my time for this, I would better spend it for my little princess! Goodbye. NOW I AM SCAMMER, who cares... FORUM GODS, delete my account, please.
