Tomatocage

Is the Tomatocage still active?
maybe I was scammed by an imposter
I sent him a total of $ 730 but he won't send me an account! I asked him to be a middleman
I can provide transaction information
telegram: @Tomatocage

Yes much likely.

Tomatocage inactive since July 18, 2020 and based on his signature he write the escrow service are temporary closed.

Next time before using any service you need to confirm via PM in this forum first.

The last time he logged in was in July last year, and his last post is about 2 years old. So I would say NO he is inactive at the moment.
He has a message in the signature space saying he doesn't use the username "Tomatocage" anywhere else.

So it looks like you have been scammed

bitcointalk is the ONLY place where I use this name (No Skype/IRC/YIM/AIM/etc)

When dealing with someone on telegram or any platform aside from this forum, I suggest you always ping the user here always as your confirmation, ask anything, soon as they confirmed that they're the one you're messaging on other platforms then its okay to proceed. But for this occasion, sad to say you we're was scammed by an impersonator.

Indeed.  And it seems like this is how a lot of scams are being perpetrated these days, i.e., by people impersonating well-known bitcointalk members on telegram (and probably other places, too).  That's why I had to add this warning to my profile not too long ago.

Edit: snipped image with my e-mail (it's a throwaway one, but no need to post even that).  Thank you suchmoon.

Right now I wouldn't trust anyone who contacts you on telegram claiming to be someone from bitcointalk unless you know for a fact who that person really is.  Sorry you got scammed, OP.

Can't help much about your current case.
But at least the link below: can find a bright spot about @Tomatocage.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1702409.msg17937868#msg17937868

Then I noticed this: Accounts Connected:

Disposition, CoinMonster, TomatoCage, mexxer -2: -1 / +0, Globes -2: -1 / +0, MaxPumper -2: -1 / +0, Jamesmarina2, Jamesmerina1, Muhammed Zakir, mexxer-2, chronicsky, Tomatocage1, jamesmerton,

Because he has another Alt account here that is still active and operating on this forum.

For example: @chronicsky which is still active February 19, 2021, this is the Alt mentioned in the link above.
Try to contact, there may be a solution for you, further.

Yo,

Keep in mind when mining for your sig camp, do proper research before you accuse someone and post bs.
 
I'm in no way connected to any alt accounts here on forum, the case has also been long closed and resolved.

I'm leaving you a neutral feedback for accusing me and pulling this bs drama

[YOSHIE]

I'm leaving you a neutral feedback for accusing me and pulling this bs drama

This is not an accusation, I saw it based on the facts written on the link I found.
Not overhauled as intact as the original.

OP asked about @TomatoCage, and I looked and found you who are still active in that line, if you feel that it is not Alt from @TomatoCage, you just tell the OP, done.

There is a difference between accusing and the link provided.

[The Cryptovator]

I'm leaving you a neutral feedback for accusing me and pulling this bs drama

Come on man, what you lead to leave neutral feedback with the negative comment? Is he really accusing you? Everyone knows that Tomatocage isn't involved with that scam since he isn't active for a long time and there is no post where Tomatocage uses this telegram. YOSHIE just shared the information he found, not accusing you. There was an accusation regarding your alts, but honestly, I can't find the proper explanation of how accounts were connected. So quoting that doesn't mean he accused you. Just take it easy and explain that you weren't connected with Tomatocage. Make it simple instead of making it more complex.

Regarding OP, we are really sorry to hear that you lost your funds. Surprisingly you come here after scammed, but you were unable to send a PM to Tomatocage before making the deal. So you are responsible for that scam. We can't do anything if a scam happened out of the forum.

The facts as you call it says otherwise.

It is not a proper accusation, that's why the neutral but you did pull me in it because you did not do proper research for your sig mining post.
Do not pull someone in some drama unless you read the issue properly. I will remove the neutral in a week but seriously, do read things properly when you pulling someone in some drama.

@OP, cross check the profile of users you deal with outside of forum and always ask them to message you on forum to confirm before going through with the deal.

[marlboroza]

That's why I had to add this warning to my profile

Or, people could simple ask for signed message when they are making deals. It's not that hard.

Actually, you said that Tomatocage has active alt account and you mentioned chronicsky, so it is some kind of accusation. Be very careful with timelord's investigations, make sure to read them, don't jump to conclusions, sometimes he sees connection just because users registered accounts in the same year or something.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I will remove the neutral in a week but seriously, do read things properly when you pulling someone in some drama.

That's reasonable IMO, though I think this whole thing between you and YOSHIE could have been worked out without any feedback being left or any hard feelings for that matter.  I don't think he meant you any harm by citing that post as evidence that you're an alt of Tomatocage, and he probably thought he was doing his research by finding that info.  Either way, no harm done, no foul.

I'd always thought Tomatocage was OgNasty's alt account or QS's, but I don't have any evidence aside from Tomatocage excluding me from his trust list right around the same time OgNasty did, and Tomatocage hadn't even been active for a while when that happened (IIRC; it's been a while).  And I could be completely wrong, but I do suspect the original owner of the Tomatocage account is no longer in control of it--but that's neither here nor there as far as OP's plight is concerned.

True, assuming the member in question staked an address here and still has access to it.  I'd be screwed since I don't have access to the addy I staked long ago.

Escrow Service of Bl4nkcode [Active]

Bl4nkcode is one of the active member in Bitcointalk and he is trusted enough for the amount you are talking. There are lot of escrow service providers available but I just wanted to suggest the active one.

[The Cryptovator]

Again telegram? Shouldn't take a lesson from your first mistake? Always try to contact via forum PM. If you have PM limitations then ask escrow to provide his telegram via PM as well. But keep in mind, use telegram just for discussion, not for the financial deal. Always get payment information via forum PM. At least you can create a scam accusation if the deal is done via forum in case you got a scam. As suggested by other users, ask escrow to sign a message from the escrow address linked into the escrow service thread

Middle man of what? Another transaction deal?

Come on, you have already been scammed through telegram, and you still want to make deals through the same place? I am sure a scammer who's watching this thread is already creating another telegram account and looking forward to PM for the deal.

[nutildah]

I think I ran into a corporation pretending to be leading me in there and now they delete all the messages
but I do capture important talk
You can contact me to show
telegram: @popproqn

just upload them to an image hosting service and post the links here. post all the screenshots you have because right now you haven't provided any actual evidence.

Be very careful with timelord's investigations, make sure to read them, don't jump to conclusions, sometimes he sees connection just because users registered accounts in the same year or something.

So Timelord's known using just registration/active dates to declare accounts alts of each other is a bad idea for over 3 years. He's the last person to admit when he's wrong, but I don't believe he just never learned that reliance on a single, flimsy connecting factor is dumb after 3 years.

There's no preventing this person from losing money. They're going to keep getting scammed until they either learn the lesson or have nothing left to lose.

I wonder if this is related to BCT account sales.

Account trading is much riskier than a half-decade ago before theymos added in the whole 14-day email change grace period, which would let sellers reclaim their accounts even if they didn't need to scam via escrow like this.Where is our welcome message?

[OgNasty]

I'd always thought Tomatocage was OgNasty's alt account or QS's, but I don't have any evidence aside from Tomatocage excluding me from his trust list right around the same time OgNasty did, and Tomatocage hadn't even been active for a while when that happened (IIRC; it's been a while).  And I could be completely wrong, but I do suspect the original owner of the Tomatocage account is no longer in control of it--but that's neither here nor there as far as OP's plight is concerned.

Why on earth would I use an alt account? Do you think there’s things I want to say but don’t because of this account? I get your little buddies have an agenda to push but unlike a majority of users here, I don’t hide behind other names to speak my mind. Get that through your dim witted head. I hope I’ve made my point. If Tomatocage and I both excluded you around the same time, maybe you should look at the behavior you were engaging in at the time.

Having alt accounts in the DT trust system that you use to escrow with allow you to pick and chose the users you think you can steal from.
