Buying 20 BTC

[Amanda]

Hey,

I'm looking to buy 20BTC for $3.6/each. The wallet address for this trade is 1LkK1Ez2Skgd2ihDaKTN8fSjDX87PYUeqn
If you want it quick you can just send the BTC and a PM with your paypal mail or bank info so I can send the money, and otherwise you can contact me in PMs.

On the off chance that you simply don't know any better, this screams "scam."

Really not sure what I'm doing wrong here, I'm just looking for a trade. I'm sorry if I confused some people.

[edd]

There's no confusion, you just want someone to send you 20 bitcoins and provide their bank information. Are you Nigerian royalty, too?

[Amanda]

Well if they want to get paid by bank I will need his name and bank number otherwise I can't send it ofcourse..

[Raoul Duke]

What assurance does the person that sends you the 20BTC have that you will pay him, and even if you do it, using paypal you have 60 days to ask for your money back given that the person will have no proof whatsoever that he sent you the coins, plus it's against paypal ToS, so he's fucked.

Welcome to the Bitcoin Forum, Amanda . I see you've met the douchebags (all of us).

People are generally very careful about their Bitcoin trades, because it's a perfect opportunity for scamming. Scammers are caught every day on this website, and the golden rule is to never use Paypal because someone can claim they didn't receive their BTC (in this case, you). Above that, you're asking for someone's bank info and you're a newbie. My advice is to build up a good reputation so that people will know if you are trustworthy. That way, if you do scam, we know where you live .

But, you could say that with any payment type, no? That you haven't received them I mean. Oh well, I'll keep on looking for a good way to buy them then. Thanks for your nice reply, you're the first here ^^

I consider this person to be a possible scammer. The reason being I offered to send them 15 BTC for $50 paypal and then when I requested they send it as a gift (for obvious reasons - make chargebacks harder) they backed out of the deal, I hardly think I am going to ruin my reputation for $50 and I think the person knows this. I mine $50 in Bitcoins every few days - I run successful Bitcoin businesses that are traded on GLBSE, I am a hero member and I have verifiable positive transactions I have completed on this forum. Do you really think I am going to throw it all away for a $50 scam? Of course you don't you wanted to scam me and I would not let it go down like that so you backed out trying to isinuate that I am trying to do something wrong.

Beware of this one...

Also beware of "imsaguy"

Then what say you to this?

[cablepair]

im sorry - I don't mean to call you a scammer - I really have no proof of that and I apologize


you were just in the unfortunate position of being the next person I tried to deal with after imsaguy

If you never intended to scam that I apologize. I will also post this in your other thread.

here is my latest transaction for all to see, I sold over $600 worth of GPU's to one person, he paid me up front in Bitcoins - you can ask him if I am legit or not (amazinggrando)

and to imsaguy - If you are not a scammer I apologize but anyone that looks at your feedback would think the same thing

BULL FUCKING SHIT YOU GODDAMN ASSHAT, IMSAGUY IS BOSS AND YOU GOT SCARED.

[cablepair]

I hope your not calling me an asshat damn man I was just trying to convert some measly 15 btc to paypal people say that post counts don't count but everytimr I deal with a new member it's always a nightmare

This is the reason I demanded it be a gift otherwise they could charge it back and I'd be screwed / if they were legit traders they would not mind doing it as a gift because otherwise what are they doing?

They are paying for some tangible item that does not exist and then when this tangible item never arrives they can call fraud - and they will get away with it because I have no tracking number or eBay auction number or any other paypal accepted proof

I was totally in the right here , anyone with a brain can see that.
