guys I would advise not dealing with this user.
we connected via pm and started talking on skype regarding me purchasing 5.05btc from him. he wanted to sell at stamp +10% but when I told him I was unwilling to pay anything above 3% he told me he could do 1 for 3%.
when we started discussing payment methods we had agreed upon using pokerstars as our preferred payment method. he then asks to provide references to ease his mind which I happily provide him in the form of links to my trust and successful trades here as well as a big poker forum, additionally I linked him to my sharkscope playing history on my pokerstars account showing 10,000 tournaments played and $750,000+ in scores as well as links to televised video of myself playing the 10k world series of poker main event on espn to verify my identity.
he told me that he did not trust my references and would only accept me sending first, when asked to provide his references he would only divulge that he had "2000+ posts and successful trades on hackforums" and that he owned another forum not related to btc that he didn't want to divulge. I got a bad feeling and quickly told him and blocked this user.
just to be clear, we didn't do business, I didn't get scammed, I just wanted to warn others of my experience as it felt very fishy to me.
Let's get one thing clear, I never said I wouldn't use it, I said I don't use it, which means I don't normally use it, doesn't say I never will, but up until this point I have not had the reason to.
Let's move on.
http://vvcap.net/db/Ex1OwCTwAjjd-acJBt1T.pngbefore that you gave me some random poker winnings as proof that I should trust you.
then when I asked for some real proof, you send me links to 2 random transactions claiming you did 10k + bitcoins etc with newly registered members. And they're all like "he went first, smooth deal etc", you seem to go first with random people, but can't be bothered to click a link to see my 5 years + sales with smooth reputation?
You claim to be doing this all day ever day, but have no proof anything, so obviously I didn't want to deal with you, and when you noticed your scam didn't work on me, you left.
