bitcoin Scam - Bitcoin arr

[Simonsays]

Just an FYI to you all - you'll see them spamming posts/boards.

Bitcoin arr is a SCAM.  Beware

Friendly chat until you make a purchase - then they disappear and your cheap bitcoins never appear.. imagine that.

Has anyone dealt with Paypal claims involving bitcoins?

I wanna get a nice pair of bball shoes, but they can be so damn expensive. I typed in "basketball shoes cheap" on google and this is the first website that came up. You think its legit?

Thank you

If you follow the link, the website has been replaced by serving notice of civil lawsuit [Southern District of Florida].

I think it's safe to assume that this is a scam.

If it looks to good to be true.....

Luckily I came across your post.  I did consider it a scam because it was too cheap but then I discovered the chat option and `had a chat`.  On the other side of the chat I had `Candy` which was sweet.  I asked specific questions like were are you located?   `Candy` declined to answer.  Looked up the address on Google Please note that the address is one word.  No sign so its new.  
Thanks again to poster for alerting me to this creature.
Please note that at this time the chat function is disabled on that site after I enlightened `Candy` as to my opinions of such activity.  Suggest you do the same since `chat` is used to bridge the trust issue.

Thanks again Simonsays

That Candy is a sly one isn't she?

I'll admit that it was quite late and I had had a few brews - otherwise I don't think I would have fallen for the trap.   

Glad you saw my post and were able to avoid it! 

Cheers.
