Post by: hat5996 on May 23, 2012, 05:16 am
used SR to cash in a MP for coin and emailed a few venders seeing who could handle $800! Vado took my money and never gave me coin. I guess i'm out 800 is there anything I can do?

If you have already sent the MP then no, there isn't much anyone can do.

Did you read the forums at all before choosing a BTC vendor?  With all the established BTC vendors on SR you went with vado who is new and has several bad reviews if I recall correctly.

Looks like you learned a very expensive lesson:

Don't buy without researching the vendor on the forums first.

Vado's been called out as a scammer multiple times.

He even had a review ON HIS VENDOR PAGE that said he was a scammer.

How the hell did you miss that?

Cheers

Got ripped off by the same guy for over three hundred dollars. Sent him my code and lost all communication with him after that. I was a dumb ass and it was before I knew to check the forums and realize the signs of a scammer. Sorry you took such a blow mann
