GaiusMaximus - scamming kncminer shares- 10 bitcoin bounty on his head

[markj113]

I have ordered 30.75 bitcoin worth of shares on this thread -

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=252013.msg3027068#msg3027068

I became suspicious when he went quiet when I pm'd him asking for additional personal information as my friend who is a police officer was interested in some shares but wanted extra details.

Since then I have found the email address shown in his order no longer exists, the phone number shown is not for tempe, arizona and I have also got in touch with the arizona police/fire service as he claims he is a fireman but they have no record of his name on file.





The final bit of proof is if you type his order number in to the tracking box on the KNC website it shows "order cancelled"

Tracking box on bottom right -

https://www.kncminer.com/

Order number -

954-03TE-002220

Sigh, guess not.

Thanks for the help guys, dropped him an email and awaiting the response.

Also noted that Gaius' writing style is similar to that of Oron's.

response from oron 1:

Hi Mark
I'm sorry to hear about your loss, and hope this doesn't happen again.
However, Air Mail does not have your bitcoins and thus cannot.refund.them, the user was obviously using our temporary email service but he could have been using any other service for this goal.
Saying we are involved in fraud is like saying  Mercedes is involved in bank robbery because the robber used a Mercedes for the getaway car.
I wish you all the best
BR
Oron

response 2:

Well. Actually it is and he was...Whatpaas is one of airmail's stock of domains,  click get a new address in there and you will notice whatpaas is one of the domains
Can you please request the forum owner to delete all the nonsense his users wrote about me?

[markj113]

Ive just emailed back that if this was a temporary throw away email address how was I able to contact the user via pm for over 3 months (forum registered email address)

Turns out he would have had to log in to the temp email address every day since June 12th to keep it active, this seems unlikely as he didn't start scamming until about a month in to the forum.

Damnit, so we don't have a real way of finding him. Should've realized that whatpaas could've been one of airmail's domains.

Not looking good

If you can't find an ip from an email exchange you had, or from his wallet address access, it will be hard. Don't expect any help from the admins here. Maybe if you explained it at knc they could look into their logs, if willing and able.

[markj113]

Would admin have any logs of his I.P address?

[SLok]

I think admins see an ip-logo under every post showing the poster's ip when hoovering the mouse pointer over it. at least that's what I've seen on other forums.

I found a bloke based on the information you posted, but its a bloke who's just started Pre-med.

I look into occasionally, but there's not that much of an incentive as it depends on you prosecuting...

for 30.75 bitcoin im not going to let it go!
