We did a transaction where he agreed to give me 3.88 BTC for $550 Amazon Gift Card -
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=215416 (He has deleted my posts in the thread since its a self moderated thread).
I told him that we needed to use escrow and he said he doesn't want to use escrow. He claimed that he has done $1000s worth of transaction and dont need escrow.
OK so I sent him $550 Amazon Gift Card after he agreed that he would redeem immediately and sent me the bit coins. He redeemed the card and then said he had to wait for a "friend" of his for confirmation. Its been 4 days now no communication from him. He deletes my posts in his thread and has ignored me in skype.
He is from New Jersey. I saw some of the old threads and sees now that he scammed a few people in this forum already. He also goes by the nick LRP in other forums
I am surprised he is not banned yet and is now looking for a new person to scam in his new thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=221191.0I will be reporting him to law enforcement authorities soon
