Bitcoin Scammer Bangalore - Anthariksh V - BitcoinTalk name Wilson

[SimonJones]

Many of you must have dealt with Anthariksh V (wilson) - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=116554

I paid him 1,50,000 /- (One Lakh Fifty Thousand) for 3.937 BTC on 19th March, 2014 but he has still not given me the BTC always coming up with one excuse or the other and now his phone is unreachable. He first said he will pay me after receiving the money, then he said 48 hours, later he said  24th March, then 25th and then 27th but now he has not replied for 2 days and his phone is unreachable.

I have actually dealt with him a couple of times since 2013 but lately he seemed desperate for money and was acting weird. But i still paid him because i had bought from him many times. EDIT - HE IS A SCAMMER. No BTC/Money for close to a month now.

Maybe I can report this scam to the IT Department and the Police. On earlier occasions,  I have paid him for BTC to many different accounts.

This time, i paid the 1,50,000/- to

I still give him the benefit of doubt and have only tagged him as a "Potential Scammer". I will update this post with details of conversation if i don't get the BTC within another week. But anyone else who is dealing with him be warned that he is a potential scammer.

Maybe I can report this scam to the IT Department and the Police. On earlier occasions,  I have paid him for BTC to many different accounts including Seven Digital from http://buysellbitco.in/

I have removed the phone numbers and bank details.
I have also sent Wilson a screenshot of this post.
I whatsapped with him when you told me about this incident and he has explained to me that his BTC was stuck in Gox. He also informed me that he would settle everything by 'yesterday'.

Adding that note to keep this thread updated.

Another thing that was weird is that he says his BTC is stuck in GOX after i paid him the money. When in reality BTC withdrawals from GOX were closed or not working since a few months back.

[SimonJones]

Still no news.

[Benson Samuel]

Still no news.

Can you PM me his numbers? Let me try reaching out to him again.

[Benson Samuel]

Any update on this case?

[SimonJones]

No, no update.

This is a scam.

[Benson Samuel]

No, no update.

This is a scam.

Cannot understand how he can do this so openly. He visits the other Bitcoin meetup in Bangalore.
You should reach out to anigru/ Amitabh S/ dashingriddler as they are the ones who incubate that group/ know Wilson very well.
It is my understanding that they do carry out business with him as well.

Damn, you've lost 50k in value of btc.

[arvindr]

Isn't 1,50000 a lot more than the price of that much bitcoin?
Also, just saw a thread by him here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=358836.0

Thats quite sad bro .Don't report it to the cops they won't do jack but they will question you about your online cryptocurrency stuff You know Indian Cops right ? You could trace the scammer though .You've had dealt with him before so find some traces like IP address or his bank details like something .Just find him.

I think going to the cops would be the best thing to do.. If you live in a metropolitan City.. They should understand what cryptocurrency is.. If they dont..then make them understand.. as long as you r not doing anything suspicious with bitcoins that is.. I think everyone has his banking details.. but I couldnt find out any solutions solely on knowing the banking details.
