I know it isn't a lot of money (only $6) but I was scammed by /u/steve51184 on BitMarket. I submitted a thread asking if anyone was curious about buying. I got a PM from him and I searched his name, which turned up nothing here. Here is a transcript of our PMs:

[–] from steve51184 sent 16 hours ago

hey bud you still selling portal 2? how much you after?

[–] to steve51184 sent 14 hours ago

I am still selling! I will take $6 in Bitcoin. How does that sound?

[–] from steve51184 sent 14 hours ago

sounds perfect send the code over with your btc addy and i'll get the btc sent as soon as i've tested the code works my friend :)

[–] to steve51184 sent 14 hours ago

Can you send BTC first? Once it gets 1 confirm I will send you a code. I have never used bitmarket before but I have been on reddit for >2 years and active in /r/Bitcoin. If you don't trust me I'll understand.

[–] from steve51184 sent 14 hours ago

been scammed way to many times sending first sorry fyi i've been here 3 years hehe ;)

[–] to steve51184 sent 14 hours ago

...all right, fair enough. I hope I can trust you, my friend. Send 0.009596 BTC to 16h9ekyLrz5KHidb6Eq9HkmgKA3tuJr5B8. Key is █████ █████ █████. If that is entered incorrectly let me know, I had to type out the key by hand...

[–] to steve51184 sent 14 hours ago

Well? Did it work?

[–] to steve51184 sent 13 hours ago

If you don't respond soon I will report you as a scammer.

Here is the FedEx quote shipping from me to you on the cheapest option: http://i.imgur.com/1aLHHy0.png

That would bring the total to $494 ($460 + $34 shipping)

The USA weighted average of BTC is currently $552 (don't want to use something like Gox that is pinballing around $100 every day!)

https://bitcoinaverage.com/#USD

$552/BTC would put the total payment at .894 BTC

175pKKg7gEWqgYzHBbSmkDLHW2zQJZQXrH is my BTC address

I will forward you the actual shipping label that will be on the package as soon as I see it pop up in blockchain. I will dropoff at fedex location tomorrow morning before 10am so it can get out and in transit.

Tool Bar- lvl1 to lvl2 Genesis = .075 eth

lvl 2 to lvl 3 Genesis = .225

2x lvl1-3 = .6 eth ------------------ I offer 2x lvl 3 for .1 Eth total

I Have 2 x Separate lvl 3 Minereum Self Mining Wallets That would Require Wallet Import.\

https://ibb.co/ZdxPJ8N To See the Exact Stats Of Both

Normally .6 eth Makes 2 lvl 3 wallets but I am offering Both Wallets for 0.1 ETH Plus a free 700 active token. good starter point for any new acquisition

The wallets are from the first self mining coin. At lvl 1 it does nothing but holds 32k coins, buy for .3 eth you can upgrade to lvl 3 and start auto mining and be able to send the tokens.

It mines 1.82 tokens a day, these tokens are allotted from the 32000 tokens already held on both wallets. So it's mined for the last 6 months freely and have 700 available tokens. It mines auto every day for 50 years total, about 48 years remaining.

IM LOOKING FOR 0.1ETH Total for both of these wallets. It it's 1/6th of the normal cost for 2x lvl 3 Genesis mining wallets and you are receiving an extra 700 available tokens too Double the goods for a fraction of the price

Please serious Inquire only. I've sat on these for a while and new things have arisen in life and this is my last tool for potential total profits to address my new circumstances
And It Has To Go

HIT ME UP [WTS]

MarioLovesYou conned me out of a $25 amazon giftcard, by sending me a (presumably someones) account on doges.org with a good reputation. He wouldn't send half his BTC up front, so watch out for him. I sent him the code, and 12 hours later, still nothing. I believe he also down voted everything I posted to this sub, so I will resubmit them (both have 0 karma, suggests it was just him, and that happened right after I accused him of scamming)

EDIT: I forgot to mention, he sent me a link to (presumably someone elses) account on doges.com (the account had good standings with others) So dont fall for it!

When making a listing remember the first line of r/BitMarket's sidebar:

The r/BitMarket subreddit is for buying and selling virtually anything with Bitcoin. (emphasis changed)

I am seeing a lot of posts that are simply "[WTS] Bitcoins". In r/BitMarket, you aren't selling things for dollars or euros or whatever, you are selling things for bitcoins. If you want to buy dollars with bitcoins, then make that clear in the title or the post will be removed.

I recently sent him $10 to his wallet for DayZ; he has since been active, but has not replied.

http://www.reddit.com/r/BitMarket/comments/1x5maf/wtb_dayz_steam_key/cf8hexl[1]

I will get more images up later.

He messaged me saying he was interested in this listing. I agreed to go first and gave him the codes, which he claims are "already redeemed." This is false, though, because I scratched off the stuff covering the code when he requested them.

If /u/Coins4Ever decides to pay me, I will take down this post. In the meantime, treat any trade with him with extreme caution. Sorry for my crappy writing, I'm very mad right now.

Edit: In a screenshot he sent me, he left his email visible. The email address is [email protected]

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155237.0

Asking $70,000, or the equivalent in bitcoins (523 BTC as of this writing) for two lots of vacant land in Wake County, North Carolina, USA totalling 3.2 acres.

Lot #5 is partially cleared, zoned for manufactured home, 1.69 acres. Has dormant septic and well. Asking $45,000 (or BTC equivalent) if purchased alone.

Lot #11 is not cleared, full of young pine trees, 1.50 acres. Asking $33,000 (or BTC equivalent) if purchased alone.

Both lots are side-by-side, less than 0.5 mi to the Neuse River, and have only a slight slope. Both lots are buildable. Neither lot is an annoying shape.

http://www.reddit.com/user/teejj Made an offer on a game code sale, we agreed on price and I gave him the game code, but he never provided the BTC payment. I'm just posting this to let anybody else who gets a message from him to know that he will not pay and likely if he is a seller will not give what he's advertising. Several messages later and no reply, checked the gamecode on their promo site and it's already been used.

It's a shame to see something like this on the bitcoin marketplace, but I suppose that's what I get.

On the very rare possibility that teejj didn't pay me and got into a car accident or some other emergency that, I'll update to correspond to that.

Forged a Coinguard.org email. I sent the 280x to the address, and they responded with a "haha thanks for the 280x". Now I'm out of $300 :( I hope others have not fallen victim to this person. This package was sent Priority USPS , and was signed for by "H Yong".

Hi all,

I own a pawn shop in Richmond, VA (www.superioroutletpawnshop.com), I have a ton of items that I'm willing to sell for BTC and LTC.

• Tools

• Jewelry

• Electronics

• Coins

• Car Audio

• Game Systems

• And Much More!

US Only tracking will be included with shipping

PM or email me at [email protected] with what you're looking for and if I have it, I will send you pictures and a price in BTC/LTC.

Thanks!

I wanted to have faith in bitmarket, and I know I have myself to blame for not being more cautious, but I've been scammed.

VadorTheMiner stole my gift card and then deleted his account.

I almost didn't post this because I'm embarrassed, but perhaps some others will learn from it.

Here is my original post: http://www.reddit.com/r/BitMarket/comments/1rxebb/wts_50_itunes_gift_card_for_40_of_bitstamp_rate/

My conversation with VadorTheMiner is here: http://i.imgur.com/3FAxoC1.png

I hate that I acted in good faith, really took the time to figure out /r/bitmarket, but still got screwed (by my own faith in others).

VadorTheMinor created an account 4 days ago, made enough posts about being scammed himself to fool me (among other topics), and then asked for me to send the code to my $50 iTunes gift card (which I was selling for $40 of the current bitstamp rate). The 4 day old account should have alerted me, but I wanted to have faith in people; how stupid.

I know I should have used a moderator for escrow now. Perhaps that info should be in the sidebar?

A low dollar amount escrow service is needed. BTCrow.com seems great, but 0.25 BTC minimum is tough for transactions like these.

Thanks for reading. I'm more sad than mad about this, because I love bitcoin and reddit and this is the first time I've felt disappointed in either.

The escrow page is here: http://www.reddit.com/r/BitMarket/wiki/escrow

It has been linked to the sidebar as well.

It is suggested that all transactions participate in escrow.

Buyer beware, this is not an official endorsement of any of these services, escrow companies can still run with your money, be sure to do your due dilligence and research them all independantly.

Sent a fake post reply and faked his rep history

https://imgur.com/a/bMYX01A

the link he sent leads to a fake page which is just a copy of u/dunkey-quotes rep

I contacted /u/Bestes0910 a couple days ago, asking to do a transaction. I gave him the card info and my address. After I did, he asked me to confirm the address, so I figured he was legit -- after all, he had everything he needed to get redeem the card. But eventually he stopped responding. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt (once thought a dude was a scammer, turns out he had to take his girlfriend to the hospital. Took him a few hours to do the tX) but it turns out he's just full of shit.

In fact, I responded to his post with a different account to see if he might have actually had something come up or was just ghosting his victims. Nope. No emergency-- just a standard shitbag. Oh well :(

This is the sale of 10% permanent interest in royalties paid from a gas lease for the Marcellus Shale, Utica Shale, and all deeper formations.

Lease is located in an area that is actively being drilled. The in-line processing facility has come on line and is active. The inline processing facility is scheduled to be quadrupled in size (e.g. they have the first of four processing lines completed).

The property has been assigned to a well pad and has had state mandated water tests conducted by the leasing company. The lease has strong 'use it or loose it' language to incentivize the driller to execute sooner than later. The driller, Chesapeake, has been configuring well pads for 6 wells each in this area. But they've been going up to 8 wells each in a neighboring state.

Want to Sell up to 5 each, 10% interest for 40BTC each. (So, if you want 20% interest, that would be 80BTC)

Your interest in the royalties will be recorded on the deed in the name or business of your choice.

For information: Gas well royalty calculator: http://geology.com/royalty

• Lease is 17.5% royalty

• Leased acres: 90.1

• Lease limits the production unit max size: 640 acres

He has not gotten back to me in those three days, nor have I received the Xbox

Some reflections: Definitely watch out for people saying "You go first, I just got scammed" I know that people do get scammed, like I did, but I wouldn't start off the conversation with it. Also watch out for people who refuse to use escrow. In my transaction I asked to use it, and he flat out refused which I found odd, because he didn't cite btcrow's .25 minimum, he just refused it. Another thing that stuck out to me was his newish account, which I asked him about and he said it was an alt account to do something with selling a gift. In hindsight, that was really stupid of me to believe. In the end, I'm only out ~$40 which doesn't break my bank, but it's still disappointing to see this community do stuff like this.
