Quoted your message so the images pop up. Now, btc mods don't moderate scams, so you won't get help from the site. Secondly, we do not know 100% that you are actually dealing with the user topman from this forum. We see the name, but anyone can use that name. Give more proof and you will get his account tagged from DT.

**EDIT**

Just took a look at topman account, you decided to engage in a trade with an account that is already painted negative. You should be careful who you deal with and use an escrow if you can find 1, especially in account sales.

At one point I was interested in buying a full member account from him. 

That is cheating. And I wouldn't be surprised if you end up getting some nice red paints on your profile because of it. Just because you are poor doesn't mean you have to cheat, because we have many poor people in the forum that acting in an honest way have managed to earn money with signature campaigns and other activities that is above the average salary of their country.

There's nothing you can do. You shouldn't have tried to get around the system and start out with a full member account. You should have just built an account on your own. Your $40 is gone sadly. Hopefully you learned a lesson, buying accounts is not illegal but most do not condone it here.

I was interested in buying a high ranking account to earn some money through signature campaigns.  I'm new so not fully aware of the forum rules it's a crime to buy and use an account here. But a big loss taught me a lot. I am very disappointed now.
I lost my money which was scammed by someone from this forum but I still don't understand why I was red tagged.

Not everyone agrees with what I'm about to tell you, but trying to buy an account, or sell it, encourages spam and scams. In your specific case it makes me distrust you because instead of doing things as they should be done you have started in the forum trying to cheat the system, to get faster to earn money, which shows that you only care about money in this forum.

With a good use of the forum, money should be seen as a complement to the activity you perform in it, which should entail a certain enjoyment when discussing bitcoin and related topics.

[hugeblack]

In your opinion, what are the reasons that would prompt a member to sell you the account for about $80, when he could collect that amount within two weeks? And continue to make more profits.
Logically speaking, this is illogical, so everyone who sells these accounts is either useless acc that you cannot participate in signature campaigns, or they are linked to scam.

Sorry for losing your money, but consider it a lesson for you to learn better. post in English board or your local board and continue to post for several months. If you do not get merits, PM me. If you find that you are posting accepted posts and add a value to your local community, I will give you some merits.

So you came to bitcointalk ND the first thing you tried to do was to but an account, that's what one gets for involving their self in a shitty business, I doubt you'll get your money back tho, because the accused account has already been nwg tagged so more won't bother him again, except he receives some flags.

I just searched the wallet address you provided and I was shocked to see that it was connected to a different account, I search scanned Blockchain.com to see if the wallet had only one transaction history or more and to also try to check if I'd see any connections with Topman but unfortunately it was connected to someone else.

@LDL I believe you're using a notification bot, pease your attention is highly needed here in this thread, we need clarification as to why your address was used in their chat.

This case has just become more interesting...

[Onyeeze]

This is my first time to read of buying and selling of bitcointalk account transactions and how it went, I will blame the buyer because you have seen already that the seller had many red tags with different issues and he went ahead to make  a deal with such person, how do you think that something good will be out from someone is on red trust @ yahoo62278  said that buying account is legal but it should be done out of forum, that's good, but it's better for someone to build account my itself than buying from someone, what of if the account propose to buy has committed  already and linked to other accounts that is been use for scam, and after buying the account the account still receive tag because of the previous tags, its better to build your own highest you can stay be in forum before your grow to full member is six months, I'm using myself as  example

Thanks bro for your nice investigation. that means someone called LDL stole my money.  LDL is related to topman21 or are they the same person. I will request topman21 / LDL to refund my money.  Because buying account on forum is not legal so i will not buy account anymore.  So I want my money back and request them not to scam anyone like this.

Very interesting indeed. I'll send LDL  a PM just in case they aren't using notification bot. Looks like they have been online after you posted this message. Also the transaction has 26 confirms and we can see the money hit the address and is still there. Maybe a refund is possible @OP. Will be interested to see their reply.

So far @LDL has good reputation in Bitcointalk

IDK if they have a "good" reputation but they don't have any neg tags currently. When I think of good reputation I tend to think of members that people recognize and trust, not just members with no trust history.

So far @LDL has good reputation in Bitcointalk forum and we need his clarify about why his address linked with topman21, we know who is topman21 and he was got negative reputation in this forum. But has possibility with the scammer linked or use @LDL BTC address and its good for refunding later. We can't make unilateral decisions after BTC address linked with @LDL and actually we need his waiting respond, hope OP can get back his refund.

By the way, fund $40 still in that address and don't worry for OP maybe topman21 used other BTC address without any permission yet.

Dear @Hhampuz sir

Due to excessive amount of Transaction fees , i need to change my wallet address. I would be very grateful if you could change my wallet please.

What are the chances of LDL not being associated with this Topman21 guy or actually being the scammer himself? I don't want to make any assumptions yet, but why would someone share the same Bitcoin address? It seems sketchy enough for me to call it I guess we should wait for his response before confirming something.

Regarding the OP now, I'm sorry, but there's a decent chance that you won't get your money back. Your logic of purchasing an account while you recently signed up on the forum is flawed, to say the least. This forum isn't a gold mine, and you aren't supposed to take advantage of the opportunities it provides. There's no shortcut to ranking up; do it at your own pace, proving your worth. Now, you've lost your money and the chance of actually ranking up in the future because your account is now tagged. It's against the rules to purchase an account. I don't agree with you being scammed, but your way of thinking betrayed you and got you burned.

LDL responded here and to my PM. At this point we cannot prove anything except and account on telegram gave his address and money was sent. He might be the account seller and he might not be. He could be telling the truth and someone is trying to nail him to the wall. Cannot say 1 way or the other honestly.

I advised him to pm the OP and refund the money minus transaction fee. OP will lose a few bucks but learn a valuable lesson.

Can you explain more details? How can someone use your address to ruin your reputation? Has your wallet been emptied, or is it that $40?
It's a strange coincidence, so try to explain in detail, otherwise you will be accused.

But why did he ruin my reporation?  I know nothing about this.

Of course I refund 40$ but not directly scammer address.

I will send BTC in escrow address...

[yahoo62278]

To try and save the OP some $$$ as it's only $40 I have asked the OP to post his btc address in this thread and for LDL to send directly to his wallet. No need to send money to me then me to OP and lose more in fees for him.

LDL can quote the address and post a txid for proof.
