I recently removed elmanchez from my trust list now. I totally forgot to remove it earlier because I thought back then (just like what everyone thinks) he was a good guy with decent trust rating after I donated (instead of lending) some BTC to him as heartfelt gesture for him to “pay off” his loan or dues, until this elmanchez exit scam was posted.
As I remembered about my last conversation with elmanchez, he claims that he was from Russia (correct me if I’m wrong later on).
I've just noticed that elmanchez very graciously added the text "away" to their profile before flying the coup:
Somehow I don't think they'll be back.
He's gonna be back again without warning, this time with new identity or so to scam more people. I don't know when will that gonna happen, but I had a gut feeling that he's going to strike "silently".
Maybe right now, he is in brainstorming mode about new ideas to scam more people without easily getting caught. Internet's a big place man. He might use different IPs or so. If only we knew about his real identity, we should contact the local authorities to have him apprehended before he would scam more victims elsewhere.
He is offering a banner and logo design I'm sure he will be back doing the same thing earning trust from his free offer then asking for loan when he already has a good trust rating this happen to those who default their loan.
He even offered me the same thing because I donated some BTC to him back then last year, but didn't fulfill it until I was completely ignored.
I also remembered back then that he was "begging" me to merit some of his posts, but I didn't because it's not the right thing to do.
