Guys, I traded with this guy two times before. Both trades went well. He is a new member, but has some good feedback so I trusted him..
Third trade he offered me a virtual creditcard with $180.00 on it and told me to send 0.1107 BTC now and 0.1 BTC a little later.

I did so, I couldn't check if the balance was really $180.00 as he told me it's a gift card that doesn't have such a feature.
Well, I trusted him so it was ok.. I tried to buy call of duty advanced warfare pre-order x2 but it didn't work, I got a mail that my order got canceled.

I asked him to try it for me, he told me that amazon.com would work fine. He told me that he bought it, but I didn't receive a mail from amazon.
After some time, I received a mail from auto-confirm@amazon.com in my spam, it had a warning that the sender couldn't be verified.

It also looked really fake, so I asked him for more proof. He started to come up with dozens of excuses and told me that he forwarded that mail to me.
After some arguing, he agreed to show me his screen via skype. I asked him to look at the original mail from amazon, I noticed that he had just received it 7 minutes ago, looking at his time.
While I had received that mail well over 30 min ago.. so that's wierd.. After I asked him to send me amazon its number so I could verify the purchase by phone, he deleted me on skype and left me negative feedback.

I don't care about the 0.1107 BTC that I lost by getting scammed, but my account got negative feedback now.. How unfair can this be.. I care for my account and tried to have a good reputation..
Now it shows -1

some screens:

I also sent him negative feedback, but he said that he didn't care. He had made a new account already..

I checked your trust ratings, and you have seemed to have gotten a rather large amount of negative feedback all in the same day.

Uh, could you explain that? Or are they all out to get you?

Obvious sock is obvious.

So, this is your new acc.. how insane are you? did you really say I used it for porn? what kind of sick person are you?
What did I do to deserve this, I have only been nice and honest. Why can't you just stop this, you got 0.1107 BTC and I got $40.00
You made more from this (whatever you call it), I don't mind.. Just stop this.

They are easy to make but it's a game most are aware of.

I am the one who will laugh when you will get mail from the police  Grin you used my card to buy 2 itunes codes and that is called credit card fraud, i never gave you the persmission to use the card.

Lets see if your "big police brother" will help you Cheesy

I hope you was smart enough to use a stong proxy when you used the card to buy 2x 20$ itunes codes



Lol you know that I have proof on skype right? You are so pathetic.. You scammed me and still DARE to reply and make me look bad, really?! HOW DO YOU DARE?

At this point one should presume all newbies attempting to sell any sort of gift cards/codes to automatically be scammers.

Recommended Exchanges: Binance.com | CelsiusNetwork
GPG ID: 4880D85C | 1% Escrow | 8% IPO/ICO Escrow services Temporarily Closed | Bitcointalk is the ONLY place where I use this name (No Skype/IRC/YIM/AIM/etc) | 13CsmTqGNwvFXb7tD9yFvJcEYCDTB8wQTS | Beware of these SCAM sites! | *Sponsored Link

I agree. This is getting out of hand and fast.

Don't worry OP, we can see what is going on here.

The lesson for any new users is DO NOT TRADE WITHOUT ESCROW. Apparently saying this a million times is not enough. Just never, ever, ever do it.

I had everyone in my Trust list, now I changed it to DefaultTrust and I also see that. Tongue Well, we agreed on a solution with Thecoindude, all is fine now. Smiley
