Guys I was going to leave this one be but I had to share. I sell these on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-unfunded-physical-bitcoin-Hard-secure-bitcoin-Wallet-/200965840108?hash=item2eca7f5cec
I sell them fully funded also and have been doing it for a while now. Today I was approached by someone who wanted to buy bit coins directly without postage just sent to their wallet. The bit coin price was 80 GBP and I said 100GBP. They wanted 4 and I thought it would be easy money so I said yes. I was going to make 80 gbp for doing nothing right???

I told them my email address and they sent payment as a gift immediately 400 pounds of it. I was excited about the thought of making 80 pounds effortlessly.....

Something didn't seam right though. I sent 0.1 BTC and they confirmed they had it. I then started analysing the name on the paypal account and the email address I have been emailing him with and confronted him about it. He told me a load of bollox saying something about his wife and it was her account. I said before I send the remaining 3.9 BTC I want to see some proof you have some association with this email address on paypal. He told me not to worry and he repaid the 0.1 BTC and told me to repay the gift payment and we can officially go through ebay. I stupidly made a refund ( I should not have done as he will now rip someone else off)
and I have not heard from him since.

He is still free waiting to rip someone off. SO BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


He was using a hacked paypal account I fully believe all you BTC people beware.

To peel or not to peel.
