vdragon Erupter-Groupbuy-Scam : Task Force

[Dougie]

I am very impressed by the progress of finding this guy. I'll never scam anyone because people are so innovative when finding people. Online traceability is difficult to cover up (I hope for your benefit). I'm sorry for bloating the thread but I want to subscribe to it to see the progress.

Good luck guys.

Good luck guys.

It's actually very easy for someone not too stupid to steal identity, too.
It takes a couple days to build up a solid fake identity, with all the stupid careless people posting stuff on internet, thinking "only friends can access", and posting their ID scans to random shady sites for "verification".

You need to be very cautious when hunting, and when filing reports.
The only way to 100% make sure is to meet the guy f2f before you get scammed.

Someone can go .bitcoinforum.com and ask moderators to cooperate with IPs loggs and other infos.

Hi guys, was just browsing and curious about doing research but I have nothing to do with anything of this.
Just googled the guys email and found it on a list where people seem to be asked to sell their forum account.
If it helps here's the link.

If you search vccdragon@hotmail.com you will find he might have sold his account and someone else is using it.
You will find caspercat1997@gmail.com, which could be a stolen/hacked account as well. It's in Hongkong.

For what it's worth, i hate scams so goodluck on this. But don't hunt the wrong ones, they could be victim themselves.

There are some possibilities:
A: he is clean. still on the drive way or pausing in a motel without internet. and has a fucking reason pushing all our 300 btc through a mixer
B: was a legit member before and decided to do this scam shortly
C: scam was planned long before and so are all old posts fake and just part of a story (=we are screwed)

D: his account was compromised (just to list this, too)

Did he post shipping rates anywhere? This could potentially shrink the area where he might be located as I assume that s/h rates to country x from location y are different than from country z to location x. Very vague lead, but I just wanted to give some input..

I'd say: get theymos in here.

Wow, good find.

Mod's can't check ip address etc, only admins can.

TradeFortress apparently can, too. Unless that PM he sent to me was only bragging.

green65 is a legit guy, if you check his other threads, he's selling usb fan's which he probably bought for these block erupters.

Would there be any way that the seller of the blockerruptors (friedcat?) would give you the block eruptors you paid for? I know that fraud takes place in these forums all the time but it seems that this one was unavoidable. The way that they were being sold meant you needed to place trust in one person and escrow wasn't easy or practical. Has anyone tried emailing him make him aware of the situation. If I were him I'd feel partly responsible for your loss and I'm sure a few blockeruptors wouldn't break his bank when I'm sure it has for a lot of you guys.

Sorry if this is a stupid suggestion or it has been done already, it just seems investigation is becoming stale and it's not looking good.

BS. Stop "feeling sorry" on other people's BTC. You wish to pay for all the scams going on, go ahead.

Alternatively, the various muppets thinking they're hot shit on the basis of having said the word "Bitcoin" fifty times the past week and having "been involved" for "a long time" by nobody having heard of them ever since last Autumn need to chill the fuck out, read my posts, get with the program and stop feeding the scammers.

What the hell does the peanut gallery think Bitcoin is, anyway?

@green65
Do you filed a case at interpol financial crimes too? I think that could be useful.

I've always wondered why your ignore button is so lit up. I justified my reasoning. I know there is a lot of fraud in the forums but this is a bit different. The means that these were sold made them vulnerable to fraud and I feel that part of this responsibility lies with the seller.
