[Scammer] teamy5892/dlkoncepts

[Bitcoinexp]

What happened::
This scam happened 3-4 months ago, on September 29 2014 to be exact. The scam happened in the form of a trust scam when exchanging bitcoins for fiat at localbitcoins. Emails were exchanged before, during and after the exchange. After, the scammer left without a word. Here are the proofs shown below. I have sent messages via bitcointalk and social networking accounts that i have uncovered belonging to the scammer and recently in use: facebook, twitter etc.. Through the messages, i have urged the scammer to reply to me through email, bitcointalk PMs, posts and/or via his social networking accounts. Through the contents of the messages, i have given him a deadline to reply to me and negotiate the terms of repayment. I will only agree to 3 types of repayment given current circumstances(without negotiation):

i. Total amount scammed in btcs: 5.5BTC
ii.Total amount of fiat as per agreed: 8000MYR
iii.3 BTC + The other 2.5BTC to be negotiated but >= 80% BPI at coindesk.com
 
However i have given him a chance to own up to his mistakes and am giving him until January 10 2015 to repent and reply to my messages. Then, we can negotiate repayment. But if he does not, his personal information will be posted below, eg. social network accounts, HP details...

Additional Notes:
To everyone:
Sorry for my crappy job in erasing some unimportant details. You can see the eraser marks from paint if you see carefully, just ignore it.

To whoever that is instrumental in recovering any or part of my funds, I am offering a 10% bounty to you. Which means if you help me recover the full amount of 5.5 btcs, i will reward you 0.55btcs as a token of appreciation. To anyone who reads this, beware the dangers of bitcoin transactions, no matter how trusted a person is, always use a third party escrow. But even then, there is always risk!

To teamy(scammer):
You may reply here, PM me, email me and/or reply to my messages sent via social networking accounts to negotiate repayment. Either 5.5 btcs original amount you scammed off me, or 8000 MYR, the promised amount in September, or a combination of bitcoin and fiat but bitcoin amount must be at least 3 btc. You have until January 10 2015 to right your wrong. By then, youe personal information will be posted. Blackmail not intended, just a fail-safe to warn bitcoiners from any deals with you.

PS:// I only knew his identity as dlkoncepts, his name on localbitcoins.com at that time, I was quite new to the forum and had not stumbled upon either his account which had been red-flagged or the screen-shot revealing his attempted scam.

EDIT: For now, if anyone wants to, i accept donations. No amount is too small. It would go a long way in recovering from my loss. If, the scammer returns some or all of the coins, i will return the coins to you + a little extra for trying to help me out. Thanks. I don't mind if you don't donate.

Why did you do this deal without escrow when he was already flagged with red Trust?

I only knew of him from localbitcoins then. His account had great feedback, about the equivalent of 5-10 positive here. At that time, i was new to the forum and did not know he had an account on this forum. Anyway, i'll try to reorganize OP to fit stickies. Thanks for the question.

Updated to fit scam accusation format. He has not replied yet. Anyone need an extra 0.55 btc? The bounty is still on.

Update: Managed to find a flaw in the social networking site. So, I've sent the message straight into his inbox instead of being redirected to his "other folders". Here's the message:

Hi XXX. Please read this:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=913756.0

You have until January 10 2015 to negotiate a repayment because of your scam. You have 3 choices:
i. Return my 5.5btcs
ii.Bank Transfer 8000MYR into my bank account as was negotiated.
iii.3 BTC + The other 2.5BTC to be negotiated but >= 80% BPI at coindesk.com

You have been found out. I have managed to dig up your personal information and social network accounts. Proof is already posted. If you do not respond properly or negotiate terms by January 10 2015, I will post your private information on the forum. Also, I have posted a bounty to bring you in. You scammed, you cheat, so now you have to pay the price.

Don't believe me? I have already dug up everything before sending this message, no matter how much you delete, I have already screenshot everything, even the photo below. I know that you did try to scam with the forum account of teamy5892, I know that you exchanged my bitcoins as fiat at Naira4dollars. Well, don't worry, bitcoin's price has dropped, so you can definitely afford to buy the 5.5bitcoins to repay me. I think the first option is the smartest choice. Respond, or be flagged a scammer for the rest of your life. You have until January 10 2015 to respond. Make haste, dlkoncepts or teamy5892 or XXX or XXX or whatever you call yourself. Read the forum post. I am being very patient on this matter, don't make things harsh on yourself.

Update: The scammer has avoided me. He has either deleted his social networking account, temporarily deactivated it or simply changed his name and profile picture. No matter, I'll still find the scammer. Since he avoided me, the deadline has been shortened.

He has also moved most of his funds now:

Guys, the bounty is still on! Let's get us a scammer.

January 9 2015

What the hell, I'm done waiting. You evaded me.

Here's his pics.


Ignore the stupid note.

[Bitcoinexp]

Teamy, if you want your pic down, just shoot me a PM or post here. Good luck!



Guess you're online. I'll say it once more, this is your last chance to redeem yourself. PM me or post here to right your wrong, I'm tired of this. I want to move on after this loss.

[Bitcoinexp]

Sigh... I've just found your other account teamy... I really don't want to do this. So, I'm offering you a once in a lifetime offer. I see that you have at least 5 btcs in your control. I'm only making assumptions based on your transaction movements. You're just moving them into separate addresses. Most of them are here:

https://blockchain.info/address/17jhymqR2zc7RDtcuhw5JYGivFNp8xAiKU

Can you just stop ignoring me and avoiding this. I know you read this post, I know you've definitely read my messages on Facebook and on-forum. Hence, the deleted account. But I'm warning you now, I know that wasn't your only account. And, i know the one you deleted wasn't your private account. Here's the recap. I've already screen-shot your pics from the other account to be posted on the deadline as a scammer alert. Again. (It's getting tiresome.) So now, I am offering you a repayment option of:
 
Send 2 bitcoins into this wallet: 1PgthU457TS6XxHZHewonbChqPqzznU9nJ

I'll temporarily stall posting and edit out your images from my posts. This is your last chance. After, we can discuss the remaining repayment. Stop avoiding me and making yourself look like a complete scammer/thieve, at least have the guts to admit your mistake in scamming me.

[Bitcoinexp]

It was a long shot at getting back my coins but at least in a way, i tried to resolve it peacefully. As promised. Since i allowed way more than i should have in leeway for repayment, I'm posting. Goodbye my dear coins... 
















This is my final update on my search.

So you willfully sent him money first, without escrow and fully aware that this user was probably a scammer?

Yes. Yes. Stupid of me. And no. He had huge trust on localbitcoins. Some feedback even pointed to unescrowed trades. I had no clue as to his actual identity then. So it was more of a trust scam. I am wholly regretful for my idiocy in trusting him, even if he had such great feedback. In the end, i lost some of my bitcoins. But i can always earn more. I learnt a lesson, water down the bridge.
