Scam Warning - PhenixEx.com - scammer tag requested

0.0018733 BTC
8000 SXC

BTC: 1NmWTFjFgxd9jPu7fVcZ6YoZ53BHSXL2hr

Cryptsy tradekey: 285891dce6538716b917c7d42c1fe7c00d4fb1c

After losing almost 0.25 BTC worth of PXCs at coins-e I had decided not to use any more dodgy exchanges. But PhenixEx was the only one trading SXC at that time  

I have refunded your 8000 SXC, because I think sex should never be a bad experience. If any of the devs want to donate a refund:S16zpr18SugJcemZQTgzWbMhwpzddnt8ic

Nolo and I are strongly considering starting a civil suite against both of them. Hell, I don't even mind spending money on it if it makes it harder for them to scam again.

How can we help?

I imagine that John will come to this thread after he reads the leter that I've sent him. Showing willingness to go after him should help. I want him to see that we're not going to let them keep our money. Willingness to sue and willingness to spread the word that he can't be trusted ( and preventing him from scamming others that way ! ) should be a strong insensitive to pay us back, if keeping a clear conscience is not enough reason.

So post about what you are willing to do if we get nothing from him after the deadline runs out.

I've a very good law firm in FL.
PM me if you want contact info.

Also, someone (or someones) ought to take the task of writing up a clear, concise and supported "timeline and fact summary" to brief these folks and speed the process.
Preponderance of evidence in civil matters is important.

Thanks for that

I saw it come in and thought these guys are now refunding. Now I see the scammers are still at large.

Should be interesting to see what comes of this.

Turns out I grossly over-estimated the US Postal Service. It takes them a FULL WEEK to deliver a first class, certified letter.
According to the tracking info, it's still in the sorting station.

My plan was to allow John a week to get the funds together to pay us back, starting from the moment he got the letter. So I;m thinking about giving him a week from today. What do you guys think ?

I recommend doing that.  That's the correct thing to do.

He is probably enjoying the stolen BTCs + the BTCs from premine dump and enjoying the BTC boom.

[Joerii]

The status of the tracking now says " NOTICE LEFT "

Im guessing he wasnt home and USPS left a notice saying he can pick it up at the post office.

Feel free to use whatever you want from my original Phenix scam thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=267301.0

Even though we had some arguments I am truly sorry for all of you who ended up in this mess and I hope you catch these momos.

[Joerii]

Mike (Micheal?) Burns
9600 Spanish Steps Lane
Las Vegas

Could be an old adres though. Mike is proving harder to track down due to his common name.

[MaGNeT]

waste of time

[Bitsinmyhead]

Just making sure this stays here now that Joerii is deleting everything else after this very interesting post was made: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=303602.msg3444074#msg3444074

Both John and Mike had enough time to return everyones coins.
Now it's time for some hardcore Google Doxing...

Lo and Behold ! John just contacted me though skype. The coward saw me about to post his personal info and thought he could try to scare me out of it. The thing is ; posting his personal info to warn others of his criminal negligence is not illegal. I'm purely sticking to the facts. He owns PhenixEx, we've sent the coins there and we're not getting them back. How and why is HIS problem, if this would happen to anyone with a sense of pride or ethics that person would pay them back out of his own pocket if need be.

Here's the transcript.

[9:11:17 PM] johnny sampson: Joeri i need a address and phone # for your legal cousel
[9:11:44 PM] Joerii: Hello
[9:11:56 PM] johnny sampson: hello
[9:12:02 PM] Joerii: what a surprise
[9:12:10 PM] Joerii: What do you need that for ?
[9:12:33 PM] johnny sampson: i just seen you posted you were goign to post my personal info.
[9:12:37 PM] Joerii: Did you read the letter I sent you by the way ?
[9:12:43 PM] Joerii: About to, yes
[9:12:49 PM] johnny sampson: never got a letter
[9:12:52 PM] Joerii: But I may not have to since you replied
[9:12:57 PM] Joerii: I sent you one by mail
[9:13:05 PM] Joerii: USPS left you a notice
[9:13:21 PM] Joerii: at your adres in New Port Richy
[9:13:25 PM] johnny sampson: brb let me go look
[9:14:01 PM] Joerii: I've sent it two weeks ago, it arrived a week ago
[9:15:06 PM] johnny sampson: dont see anything from you
[9:15:31 PM] Joerii: Do you still live at Tayport Loop
[9:15:33 PM] Joerii: ?
[9:15:36 PM] johnny sampson: yeap
[9:15:48 PM] johnny sampson: 11453
[9:15:55 PM] Joerii: well it says "notice left" when I track the letter
[9:16:17 PM] johnny sampson: oh it was a cerified letter?
[9:16:41 PM] Joerii: yeah
[9:17:08 PM] johnny sampson: ah ok would not be in my box then. I will have to call usps monday
[9:17:23 PM] Joerii: well I can tell you whats in it, the short version
[9:17:28 PM] johnny sampson: sure
[9:18:51 PM] johnny sampson: brb gonan pour coffee
[9:20:03 PM] Joerii: I'm anrgy and hurt that you chose to simply disapear instead of taking responsibility with what happened with the funds that I trusted you with. You havn;t replies to any of my messages, your phone is disconnected and I get no feedback what so ever. I need my money back but you don't seem motivated to get it back for me, so then I'll have to do whats in my power.
[9:20:23 PM] Joerii: I really saw you as a friend and trusted you but obviously the feeling isn't mutual
[9:21:23 PM] Joerii: Cause this is definitly NOT how I would treat a friend
[9:21:26 PM] johnny sampson: i really should not go into this since this is against what my lawyers says but i will
[9:21:58 PM] Joerii: Your company, your risk. Money disapears, you pay.
[9:22:41 PM] Joerii: So what are you going to do to get our coins back to us ?
[9:23:28 PM] johnny sampson: you need to handle that biz with Mike his servers, he posted publicy he has the coins
[9:23:38 PM] Joerii: Mike is your employee
[9:23:43 PM] Joerii: Mike is ignoring me.
[9:23:54 PM] johnny sampson: Mike dont work for me
[9:23:59 PM] Joerii: BS.
[9:24:36 PM] Joerii: I gave you the benefit of the doubt to many times, and in the end you chose to just run and hide.
[9:25:10 PM] Joerii: I tried calling you a few times but even by phone I cant reach you
[9:25:29 PM] Joerii: was it so hard to check skype for a message ? You must have known my messgae already
[9:25:34 PM] Joerii: you treat me like shit
[9:28:00 PM] johnny sampson: ok then end of conversation i like you Joeri but you fight is with Mike Legally and moraly. Just be sure before you post my info you are not breakign any laws in your country. Mikes servers,Mike publicy admitted he has the coins, Magent even posted were he sold them. Mike does not work for me in any way shape or form. Sorry this tured out this way but i can not and will not be held accountable for someone elses actions.

Also, someone (or someones) ought to take the task of writing up a clear, concise and supported "timeline and fact summary" to brief these folks and speed the process.
Preponderance of evidence in civil matters is important.

Both sides are going to need to do this.  Without it getting legal assistance is going to cost you a lot more as you pay for the time, including the time it takes to explain it all.

[gjpminingco]

I live in the Tampa, FL area which is not Far from NPR area maybe an Hour, If people would like I would be Willing to Go to the address listed and Try and make personal Contact with this person, and even Video record the WHOLE event so that he cant say that i threatened him or anything i would just tell him that the site was his and that since the site was his property reguardless if the servers were mikes that because the site was his that it makes him responsible for ALL LOSSES on the site, and that by Hiring Mike's servers that mike is now in his employ and also makes him responsible for anything that mike does, and that unless he takes the steps to take legal action against mike then he is SOLELY responsible for ALL LOSSES



But I will not do this for FREE as gas and my time do Cost
