Guy took my BTC and vanished :-\
-
I can only assume this is moon anyways no i wasn't a scam in fact i sent out a mass message to all my clients explaining what had happened we just regained access to our seller account a few hours ago and just came back online about a hour ago with our listings back up you can confirm all of this with silkroad support and infact with that also said your package with your money went out and i even responded to your dispute on SR asking for a small time extension on sr so please don't call me a scam when i have tried to do right by you
-
You never gave me the tracking number.. you only delayed and stalled the process .. probably so you could scam more people!
Havent seen any money and you are not responding to any of my messages...
Scamming BTC traders are destroying SR!!
-
wish i saw this thread before...
this mother fucker scammed me outta $3k worth of btc >:(.
sent coins 3 days ago, stopped replying to my pm's.
what a fuckwit, how come this guy is still allowed an acct?
is there any way to get my coins back?
-
Why are you using SR for your btc anyways?
Get some patients and do things the right way.

ur completely right buddy, my usual exchanger was away and i was attracted to this guy cos
he supposedly offers direct bank transfers, i needed the money bad and here he was magically offering what i wanted.
he replied to my first messages pretty quickly and told me he has $15k in his bank acct and can send the money straight away.
it would seem as though this is not the first time he's done this.
it would be nice if this fucker had his acct taken away so he can't do it to anybody else. :-[
hey TheBat have you reported this to SR support?
-
I had a couple of good transactions with him several weeks ago when he first came around... but he's gone scammer now. Sent him some money for BTC and he never sent the BTC, not reading my messages. Stay away, people!
-
glad I read this before sending him money......... i emailed him on SR and he replied as though he's still a legit vendor. why doesn't sr shut him down if he's taking people's money???? anyway thanks for the headsup and don't send him any money!
-
First transaction went smooth, had the bc in my account next day,
Now this motherfucker decides to scam me...
Shut him down SR
-
I sent an email to SR Admins reporting him, but as of now it's sitting unread for 17 hours. Hopefully they read it soon and shut this guy down.

Why on earth would you send 3000btc to a guy that you couldn't even be bothered to do a background check on in the forums? A few BTC I could understand, but 3000 isn't exactly pocket change.
I can't be the only one smelling bullshit here, can I?

for starters it was $3k worth of btc not 3000btc.
and what reason exactly would i have to be making this up? do i have something to gain from going to the forums and making up stories like this?
do you really think i'm some competing exchanger? if you look at his incredible 18.5% positive feedback from 100 transactions,
you can see that anybody who's not a complete blithering idiot wouldn't go near this guy and his fake feedback with a ten foot pole
i sent the coin because there were pressures in my life, my usual exchanger was unable to deliver and i made a rash, poorly thought out
move guided by the manipulations of this asshole and also, probably most importantly, i clearly am a blithering fucking idiot (see above).
i have been treated so well by exchangers and vendors on SR in general in the past i had gotten a bit cocky.
i am happy to post the message history and the transaction info so you know i'm not lying ya jerk :P
i'm doing this out of revenge to fuck his little scam operation he's got going on and also to help any other poor unsuspecting
fool from making the same mistake i did. is that really such a questionable motivation?
would you not react in a similar way if you'd just gotten clean scammed for 3k with no recourse?
-
i hope for you that you get your money back.....and also learn from this situation!
And this vendor also should be banned by any Admin's as soon as possible!
also i pm'd you!

He sent me this
I'm sorry ? i didn't take any money I couldn't possibly have taken *any* money up until about 5 hours ago .. I was in jail and all my computer equipment and cell phones and *EVERYthing* digital was seized under a search warrant due to another SR account .. heck i don't even have a home right now because my wife kicked me out of my own home and is leaving me .. so please explain or show me some documentation or somthing
I honestly can't explain it I am certainly *NOT* a scammer

he's full of shit and is stringing you along to keep his scam going longer. as if that douche ever had a wife to begin with ???
heres what he sent me a week ago:
bitcoinsforless absolutly not i am so extermly sorry i had a very serious family emergancy invo9lving a car crash I'm working on it not to get the transfer out once again please accept my greatest applogies 5 days
clearly he's just saying anything to get more money out of people
-
He refunded me but now I'm thinking it could be the police.
How traceable are bitcoins?
-
bitcoinsforless = synthetik
synthetik ran off with thousands of dollars worth of interac payments, promising BTC and never paying. synthetik posted the same BS story about a 'family emergency' before he finally got banned.

Okay, fair enough. My apologies, I was hasty with my BS accusations. Scrutinizing his messages, profile, and reviews it seems pretty clear to be that he's a scammer. I was initially fooled skimming over his slew of 5-star reviews, but I notice like 85-90% of them have the same sentence structure, grammar, and all look like they were typed by the same person. Since he doesn't charge any surplus fees up front, he wouldn't have had to pay any commission to SR to make a bunch of accounts and give himself 5-star reviews.
This, and another poster in the forums pointed out that he has no obvious source of profit from this operation, how is he supposed to make any money if he doesn't charge any fees for the currency exchange? I guess that question answered itself with all these recent scams by him emerging.
Sorry to all you guys that lost money. I guess it goes to show, if a deal looks too good to be true it probably is.

From what I gather, he had a vendor account under a different name. Seems to me he had a lot of BTC and wanted a quick way to get rid of them, hence the ETF offerings to Canadians. I will say he was legit for a while, I made a couple of small transactions no problem. Nice to see he refunded the money to a poster above, but he sure as hell hasn't given mine back yet.
