I'll just leave this thread here.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=414100.0;allIt lays out TheBatIsBack's suspicious behavior. He likely does not have anything to sell. If he can afford tens of thousands of dollars for mining equipment, he can afford a $50 camera to take a picture of the equipment with "TheBatIsBack's BFL Minirigs @ bitcointalk.org forum 1/14/2014" wrote on a piece of paper in the picture.
I don't even know who you are and every thread I make you come and sales trash me
Are you mad at me for something, I gave you no reason to be.
I'm not mad at you in particular. I just take suspicious behavior seriously. It's common scammer tactics to...
1. Create a fresh account with little activity
2. Create at least 1 WTS thread for expensive, highly sought after items. Bonus points if you want to sell more than 1 item of different types or create additional threads for different items.
3. Have no pictures, or post pictures easily achieved from google searching.
4. Make excuses on why you don't already have pictures.
5. Refuse escrow, or offering escrow in thread then going silent in PMs when escrow is mentioned in an attempt to get someone to trade without escrow.
6. Mark threads as closed/SOLD when suspicious behavior is noted in the thread and no buyers claim to have bought your items in the thread.
And you exhibit many, if not all of those points.
I've earned the +Trust next to my name by participating in the website over a long period, I always post lots of highly detailed pictures in my WTS threads (See
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=219185.0;all and
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=370907.0;all as examples), I've offered escrow in my GPU sale thread, but the trust next to my name now enables people to feel comfortable sending BTC to me first, and I never fully delete/remove my threads, because I want to preserve the information within, showing how I attained my trust.
I'm probably just wasting my keystrokes at this point since, if I'm correct, you'll just be making a new bitcointalk forum account anyways at another attempt to swindle someone of their hard earned coins/cash, but if you really are legitimate, you will take a lesson from a person who is actually trusted on these forums.
