[iplnightrider]

I would like to bring in notice that i have been scammed for 230$ on buying the account.

I would be providing all the conversation screenshots here which contain all the details. When i changed the email of the account, the seller locked the account.

Account sales are allowed but should be discouraged according the the rules of this forum. This is exactly the reason established members always give negative trust to account sellers if known.

You have bought a banned account, that is the issue. So sorry for the loss, you have truly been successfully scammed if truly it happened the way you explained, but nothing to prove that.

Are you talking about this account emmnazady?
I did notice a lot of changes on BPIP website for his profile, indicating that account probably changed hands maybe even several times.
Instead of wasting money being scammer and risking to lose money, better start fresh and build new account yourself, like most of us did.

Had you attempted to reset your password via a secret question? If so then it's your fault. Usually, an account is locked when someone tries to reset the password via secret question. If the attempt is held by the seller, then you were scammed. This is expected actually when you try to buy an account. Although account trading isn't against forum rules, it's highly discouraged by the community. There is a risk of getting tagged always when revealed a sold account.

This is an example from where account traders should get a lesson. By the way, I am wondering why do you need to buy an account? You are already a member of this forum. Why its necessary to buy an account? Signature campaign? It's quite impossible to join a good payment campaign with a good manager with a sold account. Only spammers try to buy accounts. Eventually, the account would be worthless even you succeed to make us fool.

That's the point.

The most likely scenario is that he wanted to make it profitable with a shitty bounty campaign or shitty Bitcoin paid campaigns like the 1Xbit one. A good forum member, who is a decent poster, no need to be exceptional, can make a good extra income with signature campaigns without the need to buy accounts.

Sorry OP, no one is going to feel sorry for you for being scammed when buying an account.

i have been scammed for 230$ on buying the account.

I'm curious: how did you find the seller, and what made you trust a random stranger on the internet with $230 worth of untraceable immutable internet money?

Based on the first screenshot, I can't see how it would be any other account, as the username and password were messaged to OP--at least that's what I see.

C'mon LoyceV, you've seen people do that and worse a thousand times on bitcointalk.  When it comes to getting a Sr. Member account in the era of merits, I bet OP had big cartoon-type dollar signs in his eyes when he thought of all the money he could earn by getting ahold of one and enrolling it in a signature campaign.  I hate to ever say I like to see people get scammed, but in this case I'll just say that this was an expensive lesson for someone who was engaging in a shady practice and I'm short on sympathy for people like that.

Useless telegram BS.

If we had the seller's username etc, that'd be more interesting.

Before being sympathy on the buyer (OP), we need to see this account history. It was registered in 2016 with two posts only. I don't think he could be a newbie in the forum. This may be an alt of any farm accounts.

I usually feel sorry for those who become scammed by scammer but for your case I am happy because you have been banned for buying an account of the forum. It is the best use of "as you sow, so you ripe". It is the best lesson for account buyer of the forum.

I guess I wasn't clear: I'm not sympathetic whatsoever with OP's predicament.  And you're probably right about him being part of an alt account farm, though I'd love to see more evidence on that point before casting judgement.  But that's what account farmers and campaign/bounty participants who cheat do, right?  They buy accounts to add to their collection, with older, more ranked-up accounts commanding a premium.  If OP was an experienced account buyer or seller, though, you would think he'd be a little more savvy about sending money to someone he didn't know for an account.  Who knows?

Sheeeit, LoyceV.  This wasn't your first opportunity to do so.  This was probably your 10,000th.  Surely you can just use your imagination or go with what I wrote about the dollar signs in OP's eyes if you're really curious.  It's not likely OP is going to return to satisfy anybody's curiosity about what was going through his greasy head when he decided to buy an account from a total stranger on whatever platform that was that he used.  It had to be greed and a touch of ignorance.

i am not sure what you are talking about.

i only need justice please. LoyceV, can you please return my money ?

[shasan]

You are searching justice while you have tried to buy an account from a long time and for that reason you have got negative trusts from defaulted trusted users but on that time you have not learned your lesson but you have now learned lesson and it is the perfect judgement for you.

[LoyceV]

LoyceV, can you please return my money ?

No I can't. What makes you think I have your money?

[suchmoon]

LoyceV, can you please return my money ?

Wait, is LoyceV the account seller?

That'd put him on the naughty list for sure.

[LTU_btc]

I'm sorry, but not sorry. Buying Bitcointalk account isn't advised thing to do. You accepted risk by buying account from random stranger without any precautions like escrow. There is not much what we can do now because we don't know any details about scammer and username of his main Bitcointalk account. Only thing which can be done is tagging account which was sold, but nobody will not return you $230. Accept it as expensive lesson.

Wait, is LoyceV the account seller?

That'd put him on the naughty list for sure.

This thread edcalated into quite unexpected direction. What else we don't know about LoyceV yet?

No I can't. What makes you think I have your money?

--joking--
Aren't you bitcoin's CEO? Ouch, you gave me the wrong impression aswell... Stop fooling around and cancel the transaction already
What will you say next, that we don't speak the same language?  
--/joking--

@OP: bitcoin is irreversible and not governed by anybody. The only one that can give you your money back (at least, refund an equal amount) is the person that scammed you. If this wasn't LoyceV, there is nothing he can do.
You trusted the wrong person and got scammed... It's perfectly fine to open a scam accusation here, but all we can do is tag the scammer so others get a warning and he cannot make a lot of new victims (at least, if the scammer is a member of bitcointalk and you provide strong proofs). You could also go to your local police office and file a complaint, but the odds of them caring AND having the knowledge to even understand what happened to you are small (very, very, very small).

LoyceV, can you please return my money ?

So Sorry. This is just what account sales can result to, you do not know the identity of the person that scammed you (if truly you were scammed).

People can try their best to teach people how to avoid scam, but it would be hard for someone to pay/help a stranger all because the stranger was scammed. If this is what you meant. And there is no solid evidence that you were even scammed

All I can advise you is to just let it be a bygone, forget about it and move on.
