Hi everyone so i did a very foolish thing and tried to buy bitcoins from somone on the forums who i honestly thought was going to help me out is it possible to do anything to get any money back or ip ban this guy from the forums?

You cannot ban anyone as.. do I really need to explain it? ::)
Also, you can't get your MP back.

Welp fuck my life.

this is really dissapointing..... im new ere and was hoping to be able to buy some bit coins from some1 here and this is the first thing i see \:

If it makes you feel any better I did the exact same thing on my first day. Hope you didn't get burned too bad. I wouldn't be surprised if we got ripped by the same guy, he lurks around here a lot and one unfortunate drawback to the anonymity of this place is that scammers can simply make new accounts and start right back up.

Got dinged first thing by a BTC vender on S.R. for a Western Union. You just gotta shrug and move on.. there are entrenched interests supporting the presence of BTC vendors and while the BTC vendors are deplorable the good of this place outweighs their bad.
Chalk it up to experience and next time go with Bit-Instant!

His name is fio this is the second time ive been scammed im about put off on this whole thing down $200 and feeling very bad about the whole deal. I would rather get money stolen from me on the street so at least i know who did it i feel robbed.

It sucks total ass but look at it this way, you learned a lesson early and only lost 200 bucks. Some people on here have gotten burned for thousands. Do you live in the US? If you want I can walk you through the process of buying coin from bitinstant, it's a reputable service many people on here swear by, anonymous fair priced and takes an hour or two at the most depending on how close your nearest chase bank is.
Honestly even the reputable bitcoin for moneypak vendors are a big waste of money. In order to make it worth their while they have to charge a huge markup and there is no way to protect yourself if they decide to burn you. The only real reason to use them is if you live in the middle of bumbfuck nowhere and can't get to a bank.
Getting scammed is a huge downer but when you find your first SR order sitting in your mailbox it'll be more than worth it
