Hi,
I got scammed recently by splashdash, who appeared to be trustworthy at first as he had a account here since Feb with no negative feedback. I lost 80USD to him after he agreed to send me 0.23 BTC.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=237311He used this method to steal my funds:
- Cease all communication as soon as payment sent through Paypal (Streak email tracking shows all subsequent messages were viewed) (Bitcointalk forum recent posts also shows he had been active and commenting even though he ignored my private messages to him)
- Refund the funds as soon as I sent it to him, resulting in a pending refund for a week.
- At the last minute cancel the refund, saying I "received" my item.
I opened a dispute hoping Paypal will return my money. He even responded with a "tracking number" during the claim instead of returning my money immediately.
- He could not have sent Bitcoins to wrong address (I realised his BTC address was empty)
- He could not have accidentally refunded (He intentionally waited until the last moment of the refund before cancelling it)
- He could not have not viewed my messages, emails. (Email tracking, recent activity)
- I would like to Emphasise that all communications from him ceased the moment I sent Paypal payment.
His personal info in case someone wants to give him a call or a knock on his door
