I had it set up to: I use my friends name and Address and they ship it to my friend Address and my friends ship it to my PO Box. Anyways I'm moving to go live my domestic partner whom I love. I'm leaving this life behind.

• Sent me this PM:
  

  Hello, Maged. I bought a PayPal Account from a guy on another site. He sells $150 PlayStation Network account for only $16 and also he sells $525 PayPal accounts that I bought for only $50. It may be possible that I bought a account that was used for scamming and that I got caught in the crossfire.
  
  Here's a link that people actually sell PSN accounts:
  http://www.dhgate.com/wholesale-hot-sell-us-network-psn-psps-150/p-ff80808130e5a14a01312c0334ca26d8.html
  And here's a link that people actually sell PayPal Accounts also:

Chief Master Detective Maged!

[deslok]

Can we id anyone else who might be related by using the ip's that they used?

There is one other person, but I can't reveal that since there is no evidence that it belongs to this guy.

Additionally, I suspect that there are more accounts. I saw many of the same patterns in other threads these guys posted in. If someone could look for those, that'd be great.

[hmblm1245]

Great work Maged. Thanks for the detective work.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=484.msg512251#msg512251

Odd. Either another account, or as suspected, Stefanie was the account that is supposed to stay in good standing.

[Maged]

Some things to note:
This guy called out his other accounts as scammers when it was revealed that they were scammers. So even if someone has been scammed, that doesn't mean they can be trusted.

This guy purposely tries to lead us down the wrong trail. Take any personal information he's posted/given to you with a grain of salt.

Very interesting. I'll look into it.

[Mousepotato]

User netxshare may also be one of his accounts.  Stefanie Andrea accidentally answers a price inquiry for one of the items netxshare had for sale: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=38417.msg485284#msg485284

And there's the infamous cover-up method in there, too. Still not entirely convinced, but it's plausible.

[ampirebus]

i hope moderators keep in mind that users who are using the marketplace with good feedback could also be incahoots with scam accounts (make a scam account, or 2 scam accounts, or 10... etc, get a bunch of bitcoins from items you never send, then take this money and buy items from toher forum members on non scam account, continue building reputation and selling items bought with money from scamming)

repeat process until all your accounts are banned and you make new accounts with VPN/proxy service freely available like hidemyass.com

Keep an eye on ultraimports.

[indio007]

In regards to the ip addresses. Do they resolve to common hostname or internet service provider. If the do what is the geographic location? Do you think they where using proxies or TOR?

That doesn't appear likely. I've also investigated ensign_lee in that thread.

That is exactly what has been happening.

He doesn't match the pattern, but he might still be a regular scammer. It's hard to tell.

That information hasn't been revealed to me yet. I'll be sure to post the IP addresses as soon as I know them.

[senbonzakura]

thanks for excellent work, i asked long ago to give scammer label to shift, he could have deleted his posts.

many have been scammed and have evidence/info such as emails, but you have to pm them and get it from them.

[kgo]

Keep an eye on ultraimports.

Would you mind explaining why?

[Maged]

If anyone here has the Texas address this guy was giving out, that would help greatly.

[senbonzakura]

NoValues possibly also hollie/ninja/shift ?

[kpriess]

Maged, make this a sticky, I believe this guy wont be leaving anytime soon..

He has to understand he will eventually make a mistake if he doesn't stop what he is doing, and when that time comes, he will have to deal with the fury of several dozens of people here.. I personally hopes this happens..

Actually, he fits the pattern of what ThyDude did before 'someone' claimed he had a seizure and was taken to the hospital.

Users with under 50 posts who decide to try to sell multiple items in a very short time frame make me very suspicious.
