I contacted seller miningallday via whats app and asked to make a deal on all 5 of his z9 miners, I told him first we need to discuss how payment would be made he said crypto. I asked if he would take forum escrow he said no he is a "huge farmer, Youtube star, Has 80k Instagram followers etc" . This seller should be avoided at all costs he also has many posts selling BTC here asking for Paypal friends and family etc. I have all screenshots of his texts and I posted them in the link above.
Don't believe in anything that he says.
He has zero reputation on the forum. He's trying to get you to contact him off the site on other communication channels. He's got a self moderated sales thread on the forum to avoid any victims from complaining on his thread as well.
Never deal without escrow in these cases, when people are trying to sell you any sort of good or service of substantial value. You simply can't take their word for it.
The amount of youtube and instagram followers are absolutely irrelevent when it comes to his trustworthiness. The fact that he doesn't accept escrow means that he's got something to hide. All legitimate members of the community, even the most trustworthy ones, will accept escrow if you demand.
