[Bounty] Scammed 0.383 BTC by BTCish

[There]

What happened: I got scammed 0.383 BTC by a member on here. Please read the last PMs I have received from him below. That amount was a 0.33% deposit for a mining rig. It was worth around $1,000 at the time of the transaction. This amount is very important to me and my partner, he has been depressed for the last week. The thing I find pathetic is that the scammer even went as far as giving us fake hopes after we have paid. He told us he received the money and that the components were bought. He said he was a family man and wouldn't go as far as scamming for this 'mere' amount, etc etc. Lies we fell for I guess. I am ready to offer a bounty of $300 to anyone that can work with me to track him and get some information. He lives in NYC, and is a 45 year old with 4 children, apparently. Might be lies too. I have customers that were waiting to see the rig before they buy, so him scamming us has fucked up our whole business.

I am really sorry for your loss . This is a clearly sold account . You see he was active back in 2015 December then disappeared  and reappeared again at 2017 june .

I know you are new member but if you clicked on the trust link  under his name I am sure you would have avoided this member .


The forums gives you warning to avoid dealing with that person ( he was sleep from long time not active )

from 2015 to 2017 no activity

last rating he received was in 2015


You see A lot of clues if you just decided to make some effort before make a deal with that member . I know it is too late to say all of this and you prob . do not want to hear all I said but i am posting this because maybe someone else read this post and learn from it .

I hope someone can help you get your money make but I doubt it .

Are you stating his location and age information based on his bitcointalk profile ? If yes,then you're mostly wrong.The account woke up after a long time,the forum did mention that for you which you ignored.Also the account seems sold from the original owner and there is very little posting from the new owner if any.Why would you not use an escrow again ?

Do you have any other information about them apart from bitcointalk ? It's difficult to track an individual on the basis on an address only.
