Just putting this out there....
be careful trading with this individual....
My suggestion is, never send first to him. Always use ESCROW if you must trade.
From a RED flag TRUE SCAMMER giving advice as he wants me to send first;) Got to be kidding me to send first to a scammer!
1. OP always wants me to send first. OP never send first.
2. Confirmed his tactic, is to do some small trades with you to create trust, then try to scam you on bigger amounts. OP sent me $1000 dwolla (via ACH), then 3 days later, CANCELLED it. OP said bank closed his account. More on this later.
3. OP lied to me saying he PAID me $500 using funds from Dwolla, which should have been instant. I almost sent him the btc-e USD code, but I thought I would check in Dwolla to make sure the funds are there. Dwolla shows payment is PENDING, meaning, it is NOT instant payment, it is payment from bank.
4. Prior to this $500 trade, I made very clear that I would only accept instant Dwolla trades, no more ACH, due to the $1000 cancelled transaction. He kept telling me to send the btc-e code BEFORE the Dwolla payment clears.
5. When I said I will send the code AFTER Dwolla have cleared, he then CANCELLED the pending Dwolla. Or maybe Dwolla caught him using a scammed bank account again? It is possible that the first $1000 was also from a fradulent account, which could be why it got cancelled too.
6. Despite he cancelling funds TWICE on me, he still wanted me to trade with him, sending the code to him first!
7. OP then brought up the idea to use escrow, but then his escrow plan was not escrow at all. Basically OP wanted me to send him the btc-e code first, THEN, he will send the fund to the escrow. How is this escrow?
Nice try again to let me fall for it.
8. On this topic, he says he trades in 100's of BTCs, which I found out is a lie. He said on chat that he only trades in $1 to $10, and that $500 was too big a trade for him.
