Title: Potential Scammer Alert - larrson72
Post by: Ojl509 on July 23, 2012, 02:09 am
A few days ago I asked for a UK vendor on the forums,I recieved a message from larrson72 who seemed very legit, he said an admin called Sara could vouch for him, he sent me a picture of his weed with his name infront of it on a piece of paper along with the date. He's been a member for well over a year on this site and has a very good buying feedback score/rating. After some discussing and prooving he was legit etc he named me his price and I sent him 7.8BTC to his SR account.

The thing is though, he hasn't logged onto his SR account since I paid him (6 days ago) so he can't have spent the BTC, but at the same time he hadn't logged onto his forum account either until the 19th where he logged on at 10:34 AM but didnt reply.

I'm not sure whats happened because he cant have spent the BTC but he could have scammed me (spend them in the near future) but either way it seems as if hes just going to ignore me and not send the weed.

Is there any way I could get  a refund? Im not saying hes scammed me but he may have had some legal issues or something i dont know but from what I can see he has no intention to send me it, I could be wrong however.

I dont know what to do, surely an admin can help resolve the issue? I can provide proof of chats etc if needed.

Thanks.

It sounds like you bought something out of escrow, and in that case I don't think SR staff can help.

This! If you buy out of escrow - you don't get protection.

If you can prove it in your messages, however, you *MIGHT* have a chance. I'd recommend messaging SR Support & see what they can do.

Auto-withdraw:

To minimize the time between when Bitcoins are credited to your account and when you are able to convert them to your currency of choice, and therefore minimizing your exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, we provide an auto-withdrawal feature. Every time a payment comes into your account your entire balance will automatically be withdrawn to three Bitcoin addresses of your choice.

Its possible that your money`s gone for good.

This person also made me a lot of blackmail. It places an order and once it has received it, it finalise the payment and threat to leave me a bad feedback if I did not return him the amount total of their purchase (He says that the product received is not good, this is shit,etc....). This scam works well (sellers do not want bad feedbacks) because of this it bypasses the SR ESCROW. He has never bad statistics and it can go quietly ripped off another vendor!

I refused his blackmail and I got a very bad feedback :-( When I think this big bitch who has received their order......

Peace
Goodness

You should put this in the Rumor Mill under the sticky scammer thread. I don't think it belongs here.
