My account got hacked and they scammed mindtrip, it is his fault if he refunded money to the scammers. He got scammed not me ! It's his problem if his head decided to give money to random accounts.
I start to believe that he never shipped my miner because he is not providing the tracking number.
Also he never 'refunded' the scammers !
He smell cash and he decided to jump in and steal !
He has not refunded anyone. Check the blockchain.
Speaking of which. Where is my refund from our deal ?
BTT:
@kilo17 You can't say the refund was not sent for sure. The address receiving LTCs could have possibly be his exchange deposit address. He could refund using other one. Nevertheless he did not provide ( as far as I can see) the refunding txid.
@all
I'm not defending anybody here. Seems like pitty situation with mistakes done on both sides. So far I'm more on the side of mindetrip but I do not have enough info to be totally sure (check point1 addressed to NORWUSA below)
Hacked account is definitely error on the owner side. Can't blaim the opposite side. People just do not expect they are communicating with hacker.
For myself even different refunding address (from the sending one) Is not sign of hacked account. Actually I would never return the coins back to sending address without confirmation from the counter party as you never know whether the address is under his control (he could be paying using online wallet where usually sending address is not actually your depositing address ... exchanges for example). We all know this not the best way (as then is hard to prove you were the sender) but people makes weird things, so you have to count with it.
@NORWUSA I understand losing 3k USD is very serious (for me it's lot of money too) but your way of making multiple threads, spreading information all across the board and accussating mods/admin does not help to solve the situation at all.
1 - You should have made clear scam accusation thread, provide details etc. where everybody can independently investigate and give his opinion. I know it's not gonna return you the money, but at least we can find out who is the scammer and mark him red. (sorry, I found it during writing this post but decide to keep this para as it reflects my opinion why such thread should be made)
2 - To recover your account there is guide how to proceed (sticky thread in meta section) I doubt admin or moderator has time to care your issues without serious proofs ( give them enough info so they can be sure you are saying truth)
Unclear PMs with questions or messages full of insults won't help you at all. Again I understand you are angry, but it's not their fault (most probably) and you should be polite to third party if you expect any help.
3 - Escrow, always use the escrow. I'm not a good example as I have made the very same trade without it but luckily for me all went smooth (thanks killo17 I'm glad for it).
No offense to anybody. As a third party I would love to contribute solving this issue, pointing the scammer but it's quite unclear what actually happened.
I sent my passport and data from our litecoin transaction to mindtrip and he confirm who am I.
So what mindtrip says is that the scammers offer him to keep $300 our of the $3260 as a fee and to refund them the rest.
mindtrip can only give me back the $300 and the rest he is stating that he refund them to them.
I am asking you people isn't it fishy someone to make you a gift $300 like this ?
It's not my mistake that mindtrip got scammed and his head decided to refund the scammers without any proof and to an unknown account.
The case will move to FBI and to the authorities and not willing to lose 81LTC like that.
This seems to be the turning point. If mindtrip is aware he dealt with scammers you should both cooperate with authorities to try to catch the offender.
P.S. Im sorry for the long speech above. It was made before your last post. Cost me some time and contains so many of my opinions I did not wanted to just delete it.
