Scammed by user Realtech

Scammed for a measly $10 by Realtech.

Posting this so hopefully no one else gets scammed by him.

I was attempting to purchase a 5 limit full region AWS account for $10.

After the purchase, login details were sent with a fake password.  When trying to login it said incorrect password.

Realtech said he would check but that was the last response 12 hours ago.  He was very responsive on Skype before this.

First of all, kudos for actually writing this scam accusation in the correct format. It's really frustrating when things aren't layed out as expected.

The person in question is i would say almost certainly a scammer. The fact that he sent you the account deliberately without the correct password basically meant that he didn't have any plan on getting you the product in the first place. And also, people who like to chat outside of bitcointalk are also usually scammers as they want to do things quick, without waiting in between PMs.

Another guy was scammed as well. It could be a coincidence, he's just away for some emergency but imo that's not the case here. Take this as a lesson to use escrow no matter what.

Thank you.  It seems that the AWS account selling marketplace on this forum is flooded with scammers.

I'm sure many users wrongly assume (myself included) that someone would not go to the trouble scamming a couple of people out of $10 when they could just sell accounts and make a lot more money long-term.

Anyway, I will no longer be purchasing AWS accounts on this forum.  Any future purchases will be made only from vouched threads or via escrow.

It could be a coincidence, he's just away for some emergency but imo that's not the case here.

He was very responsive on Skype before the last reply was made.  Also, he just signed onto Skype a little while ago for several minutes and logged back off.  A legitimate seller would have left at least some reply.

In addition, he basically admitted he was a scammer as can be seen on the Skype screenshot from the other user who was scammed.

I fully concur.

People are willing to scam almost any amount using a throwaway account. Let's see whether this accusation will get a resolution or will the user just abandon the account.
Anyhow, tagged.
