Will send you a PM in a minute.

Thank you for the interest, i am looking for others also :)
-
Deposits still open!
-
To clarify, you have 2 options.
You will receive the what 13 bitcoins were worth the day of deposit, or what they are worth on the day of payout, whichever is higher. This is insurance to cover the loses of depositors.
-
I have 1 depositor so far, looking for more :)
-
Wow, what a great deal. I have dealt with you a few times now and the product is always the best, so i might invest some coins in you when i get paid.

Thank you for the kind words Sylkyx. Yes, i do aim for this to be a long term thing, allowing my customers to make a few extra bitcoins on the side :)

This screams scam. You are asking for a large amount of money in loans for someone who has very very little vendor history. There is nothing to stop you from just running with the money. And it seems a deal too good to be true - it's hard to believe that it is worth it to you to pay 30% interest a week and give out free K.
-
328502E, its simple really. I have profit margins which are higher than 30%, thus i am able to pay 30% interest on a weeks investment and hand out small free samples. There have been others who have done this successfully on the road and i want to be one of them.
I have 4 investors so far, and if you wait 7 days, you will see i am not all talk.
Thank you for your interest anyway, everyone has the right to be suspicious, but i aim to be among the very best vendors in the road.
-
There seems to be a lot of interest on this, could people please only contact me on the road rather than through email on on the forums. It makes it much easier for me to reply to all of you.
-
Hey i just invested more than once, does that mean i get more than 1 sample??
-
Yes that is correct, you will receive a sample per 10btc deposited :) Good luck
-
As people keep asking, unfortunately the smallest investment amount for the time being will be 10btc
Thank you everyone.

Update: 26/07/2012
We are now shipping internationally again, however we are still accepting deposits as they have proven very popular. Thank you all for the support.

I haven't used the loan service of Kataman, but I ordered and paid for 110 BTC on Monday (30/07/2012) in exchange for a Western Union transfer. This service is supposed to be an instant service So far, I have only gotten 50. My WU transfer has been cashed. I will update when I get the other 60 BTC. Was supposed to get them first thing on 31/07. Communication has been good up to now and Kataman has assured me I will get my coin soon. I will update/remove this post when I get my coin. Just giving people a heads up before they part with their money.

Hi folks, here is an update from my post above this one. I hope this prevents someone from losing money.
As already said, he was offering BTC in exchange for Western Union transfer. I sent him £616 in exchange for 110BTC. This service is supposed to be an instant service. So far, I have only received 50BTC. My WU transfer has been cashed. I will update if/when I get the other 60 BTC. Was supposed to get them first thing on 31/07.
My Western Union was cashed on Monday, the day I sent it. Kataman then sent me 50BTC, saying it was a good will gesture because his Western Union agency was closed that day and that I would get the remaining 60 BTC on Tuesday (31/07) when he cashed out my WU. I knew this was bullshit because I was in touch with Western Union and I knew it was cashed already. I said nothing because I held out hope of getting my other 60 BTC.
Communication was good up to yesterday; then Kataman ignored an email I sent, by not reading it. All my communication was very polite. I wrote to him from another SR account and he answered not realising it was me, so I knew he had been online. When I told him, again I was assured that I would get my BTC. I will update/remove this post when I get my coin. Just giving people a heads up before they part with their money.
Also, the SR account he sent my 50 BTC from (a holding account for BTC, according to him) is a shill account, which can be seen in the thread linked below, acting as a customer:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=31905.msg381324#msg381324
Here is one comment from the shill account on that thread, in case Kataman deletes the post:
'Wow, what a great deal. I have dealt with you a few times now and the product is always the best, so i might invest some coins in you when i get paid.
+1 Kataman'

You linke just goes back to this thread (think it is this thread but deff. not the 'fake customer')
MAN £600+, sorry about that - I hope you have heard from him....keep me updated as he owes me £100 minus k he is meant to have sent which I am now not too sure I will get after reading this and another thread.
I reallyh hope things work out for both of us - I would never rip someone off and don't expect it from others.
HE may still come through but the longer he leaves it the more it looks bad. ???

Sorry dude, that link is from this thread. I posted the same post in a few threads in the hope that enough people would see it. A few posts up, you will see a post from sylkyx. That's what I was referring to. That post makes it look like sylkyx is a customer of his, but the account on SR that I got the 50 BTC from was called sylkyx; so Kataman obviously set up the sylkyx account on here to make it look like he had satisfied customers.
I hope we get our BTC also so fingers crossed :-)

Using shill accounts to boost feedback is unethical and against SR rules, and screams of a scam to come.

+1 to that PlutoPete.
I received my remaining 60 BTC from Kataman this morning (some relief!!), but the process was littered with bull shit from start to finish, so i'd still stay clear.
As PlutoPete said, using shill accounts screams of scam to come.

I bought into this, and finalized 10.31BTC 8 days ago. I fear I have been scammed. While in the beginning Kataman was quick to reply to any messages sent. Kataman has not read any of the messages I have sent in the last several days. I recommend looking at the feedback it seems Kataman now owes a lot of people money that is just now, or about to be due. Unless Kataman immediately responds and begins to pay people back, I recommend no one invest or purchase any product from Kataman. If Kataman does pay me back, I will edit this post to reflect that.
The promised sample has yet to arrive also, but that may just be shipping delays.
Kataman if you are reading this, I use a different SR name and Forum name, feel free to PM me, and I will give you all relevant information to pay me back. I will edit my feedback once you do, but till then I am forced to give you 1/5.

Sorry guys, but it looks like we have a new scam to deal with. Loan + Drugs.

I used his services for getting BTC via Western Union. Like you, I thought I was scammed and he was ignoring my emails as well. See my posts above in this thread for a full explanation.
The good news is, I eventually got my BTC. Prepare to be told a load of bull shit as to why there is a delay in getting your BTC back. I think Kataman may have bitten off more than he could chew and just wanted fast access to money without thinking about the people waiting on it. Hardly the mark of a genuine vendor!!!
-
I bought 6x of the 10->13BTC loans 9 days ago. I am hopeful that Kataman will be able to repay his loans. Everybody goes through tough shit sometimes and if you're asking for a 30% loan, obviously you're strapped for cash. That said, I suspect my money may be gone forever.
-
I got in touch with SR support after Kataman complained about my feedback on his profile. He was upset that I named his shill account (dummy account to create good feedback for the vendor) in my feedback. Kataman told me one thing about the response from SR support. Needless to say, SR support had a completely different version of the story.
The sooner this vendor gets banned, the better.

Well, I just got back from long weekend holiday with the hope (but not much) that the K he said he sent out would be there - IS IT FUCK. I had given him £100 to change for me but there is nothing in my account either. I am not crying about it, just warning anyone else and hopefully appealing to any goodness that might lurk in his soul to make me whole.
If there is any vendor who is a coke seller in the UK who will not require me to finish early due to this situation please get in touch as I have sorted a mtgox account out (it took less than a day to get verified from them and their partner site).
Anyway, I am wondering if/why he is still trading on this site if he is a proven scammer.
I wont give up, I will always get cash - he will always be a scamming c*&t
-
Sorry to those that got scammed - hopefully it was a small amount (10 BTC) and you learned your lesson for the future. I said earlier on the first page that this was likely a scam, and you should really watch for this kind of stuff and be able to spot it yourself in times to come.
-
you guys who lost your money to this scam kinda deserved to lose it. sorry that sounds harsh, but you are all the kind of people who need to learn the hard way. this was obviously a scam, I could tell just by the title of the thread.
any "great opportunity" or deal that you see advertized here should be completely ignored unless the transaction will be in escrow. just pay the market price for what you want and deal with reputable vendors in escrow. everyone here tells you this all the time, it was beyond foolish to ignore the most common advice given on SR forums.
-
Yup what he said ^
If it sounds to good to be true 99/100 it most probably is.
-
"you guys who lost your money to this scam kinda deserved to lose it"
I disagree. If someone walks into a rough neighbourhood during the dark and gets beaten up, they don't deserve that.
"this was obviously a scam"
I disagree. If that were the case, then SR would have failed to protect its customers. Also, note all the positive feedback other loans have been getting. And Kataman seemed legit as far as I could tell (makes you wonder what other seemingly legitimate institutions in our society are just scams...).
"The sooner this vendor gets banned, the better."
I agree. I lost 70 BTC!

To say anyone deserves to get scammed is just silly (being polite). I checked his history and he seemed ligit BUT I do agree that I should have known better - one thing that made me lower my guard was that I had asked him a little while before if he would take cash (yes that was stupid but I was getting sick of being unable to get bitcoins without lots of fucking about) and he actually turmed me down saying (paraphrase) I work hard to follow SR rules so unfortunately I have to turn you down. Now that I think about it with hindsight (wonderful thing that) this maybe what gave him the initial idea to do what he did.
I think a lot of newbies get here and are so frustrated they let their greed (maybe desperation is a better word) for the goods cloud their judgement. I have been taking opiates for 21 years and any one with any history of addiction who says they have not been ripped off before is either a lyer or someone with supper human self control.
To tell someone they deserve to get ripped off after it just happened is just smug (less polite that time but maybe more accurate) ;)
