lol. In the middle of making a deal and I reached my limit of 5 pms /hour.... WTF. If you are one of the guys with the quote I guess we can finish on here?

Now I can only post ever 300 seconds too. I am not understanding these rules at all. I am not a bot or spammer...i promise.

Not likely that you will get it below market price, but good luck!

I'd be happy to sell you some coin though for +5% with a Vanilla Reload.  Smiley

I'm back. Looking for another either .49 or .50 btc.

Last transaction went good. Was a little misunderstanding on my part I believe. But no problems, btc was received. Not sure how to give that person their rep? Their name on here is TurtleHurricane BTW.

Pretty sure I was scammed. They claimed to be from an exchange website so I will give them some more time before I can confirm it's a scam but they said they were getting a time out error when trying to  send the btc then just disappeared yesterday, so........

Sorry at work so I can't respond much. Again. Its not 100% yet and he still has a chance to redeem himself. His username here is InstanChanger. Skype cs.instanchanger.

legit website. I just think he is piggybacking off it and making them look bad.

paid using debit and skrill. Hopefully I can do something about it and not take the loss.

I already seen him on Skype twice since but he hasn't responded and put up an away message on me.

Ok, just getting back from work.

Yeah he is definitely a scam then. I left PM's on here, and skyped him all day while he was logged on and he has never replied once.

What a POS

Thank You. Appreciate it.

Would love to be able to come back and admit that I was wrong. Still have a little hope but very doubtful.

Another thing I am doubtful about but noticed a bit to late was on their contact list on the website it has skype: instanchanger and Yahoo: cs.instanchanger. So unless this is some other cs operator with a different username I just think he stole their yahoo id and added it to the skype id that's listed. Also on skype the real skype id instanchanger has a photo of i'm guessing the real owner. And on the possible scammer cs.instanchanger skype it looks like a generic photo or logo of instanchanger. If that makes sense?

Yes, its likely you've been scammed by an impostor of instanchanger.com. From the site, official yahoo contact is cs_instanchangercom & notochikungs (which is the site owner's personal Yahoo). The scammer is also Indonesian. Look at this thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=856318.msg9529089#msg9529089

He tried to exchange Moneypak for Skrill/Perfect Money. AFAIK, Indonesian never deal with Moneypak since it can't be used to load Indonesian Paypal.

If you offer to buy some coins with Skrill/Paypal/any reversible method, its more likely you will find no decent seller since you're a newbie. The ones who will come for you is just a scammer like him.

I'll be more careful when a new Indonesian member comes with a suspicious intro. I wish I knew him earlier.

Ok thanks for the tips. The first transaction on this site I used Vanilla Reload. No problem using any method. I prefer the fastest so MP or Vanilla is fine. Just not wanting to pay the +12% or so. Also, I had no idea Skrill was reversible. Good to know. Hopefully I can get this done and get my money back!

segvec- Yeah I will be a lot more selective now.
