Scammer & OP of the thread: trifecta_giftcards
 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1004518

Hes offering to sell discounted gift cards using selly.gg autobuy with no escrow protection with Selly account with no transactions thus no feedback. I brought this up in his thread and he told me he has vouches from another thread with them quoted in his OP here. So I looked at the vouches quoted and they are by the usernames of

I searched for these members and unless I'm doing it wrong, they dont even exist. This dudes a scammer

LOL, good catch again!  While I can't say he is a scammer as there are no reports he obviously is using faked vouches because his vouchers are not in the system. That's done a lot on here by scammers. Fake vouches = likely scammer.

Yep, I tried searching them up as well and evidently none of them are actual members. I suspect he will now go with the excuse that these customers were from another forum completely, however.

It's obvious that he's trying to scam here. He's trying to get you to use autobuy, he's trying to get you to communicate with him offsite so he can prey on unregistered users not being able to view his tainted trust score, and he's selling discounted gift cards. All warning signs already. All he's missing is a self moderated + locked thread.

On his thread he actually claims that he accepts escrow, though I highly doubt that is the truth (selly.gg or any other autobuy site isn't escrow). Even if he does, it doesn't mean that he's safe to deal with - the cards that he sells could easily be carded/fraudulently obtained, and as a result, if you are the buyer, you will not be protected even if you do receive the cards through escrow.

We all know here that it's risky to trade in a newbie if they will not go first or will not use an escrow, and if the vouches are coming from newbies too, then you have a reason to worry, so many scams have happened in the digital goods from newbie account.

You seem to have been lucky to do research before sending money. Cheesy
He tried to scam others and when he felt that his idea would not succeed he added [VOUCHED].
That's done a lot on here by scammers. Fake vouches = likely scammer.

I think that *SCAMMERS* have exceeded the rule of using locked/self-moderated topics, the use of any account that does not contain previous deals of Auto-delivery Auto-Buy sales without trusted escrow is a good indication that he is a scammer.
