Scam Report: Projects

[Grim Death]

I defended Projects earlier in this thread, but it seems that something decidedly sketchy is going on here. It truly seems to me that pretty much no-one on this forum can be trusted. Sad times indeed.

Just to add, when I dealt with him he had a UK bank account.

Yeah, if it turns out this really is a scam I'm done with lending completely.  Apparently my judge of character isn't worth shit.

I'm really pissed off and disappointed here.

I provided loans to Projects a while back - all paid off in full, no missed payments, etc.

He's based in the UK but he definitely has US interests too (US bank accounts, that sort of thing), so I wouldn't read too much into the Florida thing.

Hard to believe he would go rogue, but then I thought the same about creativex (basic-mining).  Guess you just never know.  Very sad indeed, if this turns out to be the case.

A forum member (I keep people anonymous unless they say otherwise) has also provided me with an address and 3 more UK bank accounts of him. It's also possible to get more info on him using sites such as 192.com or peoplefinder.co.uk but I' not sure whether they'll help and whether these are trustworthy sources (and it costs money).

Please, someone who has traded with him before give us his address.

Thank you!

You can't trust anyone here, not even the escrows.

Now i know. Sick.

Okay, so we have his address and and I heard someone was going to hire a private eye?

Anyone from the UK (preferably Scotland because that's where he's from) willing to pay him a visit?

We should get out act together and not let him get away with this.

Also: if anyone had any contact with him this year please speak up now.

Can someboy post it please or send me a pm?

Let's coordinate actions first. I would like to be in the loop. Then I'll release his address to the people involved.

What's your plan?

I am absolutely in.  If we have his address then shouldn't need anything apart from a call to the police and a lawsuit no?

We definitely need to coordinate this correctly.

This is theft.

first you need to compile a list if victims and amounts stolen.

Then you provide that to the authorities when  you file the police report.

That sounds good.

Is somebody willing to do this list?

[ubettercall]

If anyone lives close a trip to his front door would be good.

Not that this is your intention but I would suggest not advocating any type of violence on a public forum.

This is an effort to collect a debt and most countries have very specific laws about this process.

[wachtwoord]

Does anyone live close to Edinburgh? Are you willing to pay him a visit?

If not, anyone from the UK willing to take the lead on going the official route?

[giletto]

Offer me his 4 KNC miner too, but my common sense let me ask for some provement, like picture, work for 30 min in my pool and he refuse. I ask for pick up local, and he was tell me a fucking bullshit story about he got mugged before.

Guys, i am really sorry for all of your lost, but use your mind and your common sense. DON'T trust anywho, who don't want or can't send any kind of provement, even with 1000 Trust Level!

You can't trust anyone here, not even the escrows.

^THIS!

TL; DR - He has scammed me out of 201.7 BTC.

Oh, God no. This is supremely embarassing to admit - I neeeeever make mistakes like this. Except this time.  He has wiped out over a year of trading and collectible work, done at the expense of my family, in one fell swoop.

12/9 - 84 BTC
12/10 - 63.334 BTC
12/11 - 54.366 BTC

He claimed to need funds urgently to buy some mining gear, and sold me some casascius coins he was otherwise going to have to open for face value.
Normally I would never, ever, ever send first. But like so many of you, his long and strong reputation persuaded me otherwise.

I agreed to keep the matter private until there was clear resolution. He gave me tracking numbers. I got nervous when the first updated to be listed as 'Arrived' yet I did not receive it. Then the second.  I held out hope that the intermediate shipping company had received it and there was a shipping delay due to the holidays.

I've got all the PM correspondence, as well as the correspondence by emails when we shifted to that.

On 12/27, when I asked for details about his follow-up with RoyalMail, he went silent.

The email address he used to communicate with me: projectsbtc@fastmail.co.uk
His claimed name: David Williamson

Wachtwoord, are you coordinating this effort? If not, is someone else?  I'm happy to provide any and all communications if they can help.

It looks like I should begin with filing another SCAM report here. Anyone with more information, please shoot me a PM.

Incredible. This place is ripe for the picking.
