[BEST PRICES] Buying Ripple XRPs - Paying 2 BTC per 10 000 XRP

[Coinseeker]

What's really funny is the amount of time to create all these "vouch" accounts plus all the posts on all these accounts and hero account.  All to get 10k in ripples.  Worst crook ever.  Lol!

I'm a SCAMMER KILLER oh yeah  

You did first call it.  That had to take days, at least, to setup.  Hero account plus multiple vouch accounts.  Could have been disaster if he wasen't so dumb.  MAJOR FAIL!

I banned him for the moment for theymos to review.

the amount of fraud that is allowed to happen because of lack of moderation is both frightening and amazing

feel free to message me if you want to sell your xrp, you will actually receive your btc

With all the warnings, I don't get it why there still someone who got scammed.
What is your current price now?

[erikspoon]

well i decided to check it out (i've been buying some xrp for a while and thats a gooood price ) but since i was suspicious i decided to start small with 500 xrp
well i sent the 500 xrp and he says he wnats the 5000
he's not responding to me since i said i start small
and he's not returning my xrp
so i call scammer

[hashkey]

Well, well, it seems justice has been served. I hope lukestokes will still be able to get his XRP or BTC back. Thanks John (John K.).

Based on his transactions he already received a total of 35k ripples.

well i got (a cheap  ) lesson just 500 xrp to going back to only using an escrow

I can smell them. By the way "Jetset220" is also a scammer. I won't be surprise some people will be scammed in few days... I warned people already and got fake accounts complaining on bad transactions with me .... anyway I don't care cause I use escrow so...

[jasonslow]

Those alts accounts vouching him should be banned also. He will also use this accounts to scam other people.

[lukestokes]

My problem was treating XRP like monopoly money and pretending it had no value. That was stupid. I never would have sent anything of value to someone without escrow, etc. Lesson learned. I had a momentary lapse in the "trust no one" policy because I didn't really care about the XRP I got free. That was dumb.

Here are the other accounts that should be marked as scammers:

crystalharmon13
fluffypony
kidcudi09
Brewins
alpha523
Kevlar

Can someone help with that? I guess I'll just report them all. Might not be a bad idea to track the IP as well and see how many other similar accounts have been set up.

Based on this: https://ripple.com/graph/#r9h3FfkBwHXmvZ2RGdbQdgGbBuJvu7r4gM it looks like they already transferred out their pirate booty.

For those interested in what a scammer's PMs look like, here's the dialog (note the timestamps to see the conversation in sequence):




It is sad to think how much time and energy went into this for just a few hundred bucks worth of value. Not to mention the complete lack of integrity on display.

Disgusting to see these techniques filtering into our community. Watch out guys, trade safe...

If you did not post this up. How you get your password back?

[CryptoPath]

The biggest scam here is RIPPLE and people paying 10BTC for 100,000 XRP, its just a joke, they are worthless!

you'll regret it SOON hahaha really you will regret it fucking couard blind man.

[Kevlar]

Yeah, same here... I'm changing my password too.

[lukestokes]

"Oh, my password was stolen." How are we to know the truth? So frustrating. We're left with "trust no one" which, in my mind, seriously hinders real community development.

FYI, if anyone's curious about ripple's official response on this:

Sorry there is nothing we can do about this.
You can use this: https://ripple.com/graph to see where your xrp went.

My assumption is you don't get involved. But, considered Ripple is currently centralized, I figured I'd ask anyway, in case you had ways to reverse transactions. I was stupid and am out 30,000 XRP.

I'm not sure if you have a real person attached to the address used in the scam, but that would be fantastic if a real person could be held accountable.

My incoming address is rCwA5qtgwDtkvdf3uZk8ZnekHoqf1qMvC if anyone there is feeling generous. I don't expect to be rewarded for my stupidity, but it never hurts to ask, right?

Good luck with Ripple. I recently signed up for the developer's mailing list and will be following it closely.

What a dilemma. If it's true, it's very likely that OP's account got compromised, too.

One should:

- ban those sock puppets

- or find out how three bitcointalk.org members got hacked.
