Unfortunately I do not think you will see your money again. Honestly, $50 is certainly not a small amount for most people in this forum and OP is a newbie account created 4 days ago. I honestly do not know how you could trust him enought to send the money first. For most users, even $5 would be enought to scam using an account you will never miss to use again.

P.s: Reference link could be the thread where OP is selling his account.

really no one will take action? no admin? nothing?

I've left the user a negative rating and hopefully someone from DT will pick it up as well. As far as the forum staff /administration is concerned, scamming is allowed thus you can't expect them to do something about this (or any other case).
Do not forget to address the bad copy/paste:

1-The link you post for transaction as "proof" http://blockchain.info/tx/b80f35cebae98fcbd8eb0e2eaea6def41f90ad01086ad830ba23094ac3c3b165

Doesn't show YOUR $50 transaction

I'll say what others haven't YET:

1-The link you post for transaction as "proof" http://blockchain.info/tx/b80f35cebae98fcbd8eb0e2eaea6def41f90ad01086ad830ba23094ac3c3b165

Doesn't show YOUR $50 transaction   I will ask that you post the CORRECT TX if one exists.

2-You do NOT have CLEAN HANDS. You defrauded FitBit and sought others who would like to join in your FRAUD and now with this SA you claim a FRAUD has been done to you.............I call this KARMA

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1685499.msg16928043#msg16928043

many of the fitbit's device were sold being damaged from manufacture!

I m taking advantage of this !


so in other words is this kind of a little fraud? hmm maybe but I m sure there are hundred of others worse than this !

I believe this is a opportunity to get a very cheap device as well as making profit for those who are smart !

I have great succes on other forums that I will show proof on skype !


I just took this pic right now ! I just received them today for myself!

I receive each week 10-20 trackers and selling them to an pawn shop at very cheap price !

So it's time to me to respond to this accusation.

1) this man is a Frauder (just check his profile) - However this is not the point here
2) I agree, he sent me the payment AND I don't know WHY, the payment took very long to confirm (almost 12hrs). I told him clearly (you can see in the conversation if he did not remove that part) that I will send him the account once I get a confirmation.
We spoke about around 1 - 1.5 hr there was still NO CONFIRMATION (for whatever reason) and I told him, that I need to leave now, i will check that the next day and I will send him then the account.

3) Also if you check the conversion, as we were discussing, I even asked him to find any Escrow service he trusts and then do the escrow with me.

4) So I left the chat, and next day morning I had some family issues so I did not come online on Jabber. I checked from my mobile very quickly my account to see if any message left (I don't use Jabber on mobile for privacy!).

So in the meantime, this man came here and reported me as SCAMMER without GIVING me the opportunity to speak with him or explain why i'm late.
Later when I was back, I saw and was really sad. Well the point is, when you are a SCAMMER (like this man), you always think everybody wants to scam you. A Thief will always see everybody as Thief.

So I spoke with him again live and guess what? As I was explaining him what happened, i've just been offended, insulted..
No after a such "treatment" tell me how I should react?

Have a look on the services I'm offering, you will understand that I'm not here to cheat people.
In my threads, I say always, that i ACCEPT ESCROW, and you are free to suggest any ESCROW we both can suggest (as we know all, Escrow service can still scam you if not well done and not well selected - so should be selected very carefully).

I even asked many times in forum, for some of my services like VCC, i'm ready to provide to some senior members few cards to test and vouch me.

So it's not really fair to post such comments on my back (I see an other senior member posted a negative feedback on me today because of this, but he did not speak with me, he did not ask anything - so it's like this that we should trust this "Trust" function? If anybody can stand up and just write anything he likes.)

Anyway, I've been in contact with some respected Senior Members in this forum and they will test soon some of my services, and they will report here.

I said everytthing I had to say, I will not comment anymore about this.

But think about what I said, it was not really fair how you handled this.

Thank you

James

Why mention it then?

Maybe the fee-rate was low.

It happens.

Disagreed.

Irrelevant? Either give him the account or send him back the money and this gets resolved.

gets resolved? How? you can't delete this post and I saw you wrote a comment on me. You never dealed with me. It's not serious.

[jamesclef]

Thanks for the alert!

Dear which kind of alert? This non founded

[mammabitcoin2u]

Irrelevant? Either give him the account or send him back the money and this gets resolved.

BINGO!  Give the guy the account or send him back his money.

No doubt he is a fraudster.  BUT that doesn't mean YOU have to be one too.

Again, it doesn't matter past/future, comments or blah blah this is about the 1 deal between you.

You made a deal HONOR it or else you are a scammer.

Well, those who know me and have dealed already with me, they could tell you i m not a Scammer and I don't have time and needs for this.

Let's for get what happened, but my question would be: After you burned my name here, what will guarantee me that you will remove all that non founded report on me? As far as I know, once you created a thread here, you can't delete.
Because what I will not do, is to pay for burning my name.

The number of successful transactions is irrelevant. If you've scammed a single person, then you are a scammer.

That's not how this forum works. If you act professionally when faced with an accusation and pay back the scammed amount (or resolve the accusation properly), then your negative ratings may get removed.

NO we cannot forget what happened.  Because what has happened is YOU did not honor your deal, which = SCAMMER

YOU burned your own name when you did not complete the deal.  Trying to use that as an excuse just proves to me even further you are a SCAMMER.

It's obvious you don't have any intentions of completing this deal.  I will tag you accordingly and hope others don't get scammed by you.

[wolfuniqe]

Yes ! I maybe that its not right but I use my social engineering skills from time to time to get free stuff from companies !

(some companies knows that their stuff has issues and thats why they offer a replacement or refund no questions asked ! they are aware that some items have problems)

For example apple company ! they sell you an iphone 7 for 1000$ (the same previously phone with minor changes) each phone actually cost them 200$ or less to make ! it is fair for them to do this?


I don't consider myself a scammer because I will never scam someone else like this guy did to me !

[Lindesa]

Scam.
i paied 50$ in ETH but got nothing

[Blue Tyrant]

Unless there's some very special circumstances the only one to blame here is you yourself and your lack of research. The dude clearly has two negative trusts about a scam from DTs and you still proceed to do the trade (very likely without an escrow).

as non reg user you can't see is this guy reportet etc..

You cannot see the user reputation without registration. I got scammed this evening for 50$, once he received the money he gives me one account with a wrong password and then blocks me on jabber.

Don't you guys think it might have been a good idea to either use escrow or NOT send bitcoin to someone you don't know?  The only thing you can do about it now is to fill out a scam accusation form here, but that's not going to get your bitcoin back.  Next time use a little common sense before sending an irreversible form of money to a total stranger.  You guys are lucky this wasn't a more expensive lesson.

Also, even though trust isn't visible to non-registered users, there clearly was a scam accusation open against him in this very thread that you found.  Do a little bit more checking next time.  I feel like I'm wasting key strokes here, because there's a never ending parade of people who are basically begging to get scammed.
