Scam Report: Projects

[cshelswell]

That's great news. Taking a while to come to conclusion is fine. It's just great this is still proceeding and the law sees fit to continue prosecuting.

As for charges, that is the current/next step. Those decisions will be made in the coming days/weeks/months.
For the queue - the evidence was put into a larger 'computer analysis' queue.

I was blessed the case was given to a constable with the right combination of grit, perseverence, and commitment to justice.

A big reason for so many of the delays is that there is no precedent for what happened here.  An Edinburgh department took a case for an American, within the realm of 'Nigerian prince fraud' scheme. As a rule of thumb, those don't get solved.  They patiently took the time to gather and understand the evidence, ask the right questions, and push forward with the case.

This was a huge step in the case.
The next step is critical, as it has the potential to set positive precedents for future cases.

I'll keep this thread apprised of things as they develop.

PM me if the police there could use another person to add to the case. I am hope some justice will come of this.

I remember that I have been contacted by UK police (I am not from UK) last year asking for evidence / conversation I had with projects.
I sent them all I had but did not hear anything since then. Good to hear that it might not have been worthless

I received an update on the case today - it continues to advance. I'll be emailing those of you that have previously been in touch to see which of you wish to get in contact with the appropriate authority.

Thanks for providing these updates.

I had dealings with projects, so could have easily been scammed.

More developments! I will be reaching out via message to the five individuals here that provided information which led to the identification of the criminal.

Glad you kept going with this. Well done mate.

Yeah i'm looking forward to hearing the outcome. I would be utterly amazed if we saw those BTC back but it would be awesome

[FlensGold]

I also did not hear anything for a long time. I sent some details to an officer in UK (must be) years ago, but never heard anything since that.

[Pistachio]

Bump, any updates? Please send me a PM if you don't want to post here. Thanks.

Any news guys? He scammed me 3 btc..

I do not think, this Scammer of a guy is still in this forum. He has scammed people and ran away. If that guy is in this forum, he has changed his identity. That was why you were advised to do transactions with a trusted person. Now that he has ran away where will go and see him to collect you moneys. A community of more than 5 millions people there must be an arm robbers, Scammers so it your duty to sort out yourself from them.

And from the OP thread, this case was since 2013. This is a long period of time. At that time I have not even dream of Bitcointalk in my life. One thing you have to think of is that, is the Scammer still existing I'm this world? And before, you did the transaction with him. Did you ask him where he comes from? Because you can't look for someone on internet or social media and see the person. We pray that God should arrest him.
