Hi philipma,

I am reaching out to propose a long-term collaboration for physical Euro Cash transactions.

I have access to a secure, private location in Northern Italy which can serve as a hub for your operations. I am looking for a serious counterparty who can handle the sourcing of "dirty" or unverified cash (recycled notes) and is interested in a steady flow of volume.

My Proposal:

    You provide: The mechanism to convert the physical EUR cash into BTC (OTC/Cash Trade).
    I provide: The local infrastructure (secure premises in the North of Italy) to store and circulate the cash, ensuring anonymity and security.
    Goal: A long-term partnership where I facilitate the physical cash flow, and you handle the crypto exit/entry.

Do you currently operate or have partners in Northern Italy? Are you interested in a dealer who can guarantee a steady supply of physical EUR notes?

I'm not a fake or a scammer, I recently discovered this site.

this would be a crime for me to participate in under USA laws

so I posted it here and reported it to admin.

I gave the sender a neg trust.

If you are in the USA and this person sends you a pm report it if only to protect yourself from the USA government. As who is to say who sent it.

I haven't heard of such business model before, does such a business actually exist or it was a made up story to scam.

Another question is; why did he choose you for the business? i am curious if they have sent such a message to other big names of the forum.

I have never seen a scammer who mentioned that he is a scammer after sending a message. Why did he have to explain that he is not a scammer, it means the message appears suspicious even in the eyes of the sender.

So you give them your bitcoin, they give you dirty cash, and you don't even get to hold on to the dirty cash?

Hi philipma,
....

You literally have done a great Job by tagging this user negative trust. I am surprised to see the creation date of this user account which is just 3 days ago. After creating account he sent you massage. Isn't it strange? I truely doubt that this user is an alt account of some here who used a new account from making scam deals. And secondly whoever he is, he might know 8n which country you live, right? As what I understand he was looking for a person who is resident in USA. He wanted to take advantage of your nationality, maybe. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Question: is it possible to catch the real person behind this? Using IP log? If this account Ip log matches with any other account? Maybe i think admins have power of doing this job, right?

It's good you flagged this immediately, and thanks for letting us know as well. I was reading it and was imagining the unimaginable risks involved in this ungodly proposal. The risk of the US and EU punishments are not even my fear, but the risk to life. Mafias like this can go any length to cover their tracks.

My fear is entrapment from a government operative. Its why I reported it.

It is also why I posted here.

You've done a great job by positing it here as now you've proof that you haven't anything about that business and there's no involvement from your side. Another good step you took is by negative tagging that user so others can be safe from such type of users. Either the OP of that message is doing a crime or he was trying to steal your Bitcoin in any case you've done the best thing by reporting that newbie account.

This offer is considered a crime for all the countries. I don’t think any government allows handling dirty money. On the other hand, the whole PM seems to me just a scam attempt. If someone has a lot of dirty money, then he should be well aware of how to purchase Bitcoin since that scammer is familiar with Bitcoin.

Since you reported to the admin, they will ban it; it’s not only for the scam attempt but also for the unsolicited PM, which is against forum rules. But the real concern is that the scammer would create another account and may offer the same things to other users to scam them. Who knows if someone falls into this trap?
