So this guy 5hunna500 listing all just dissapeared
His main profile is now non exsistance
Earlier in the day he had a few good feedbacks recently
I noticed he had a total of about 65 transaction with 100% feedback
Today when I try to click on his name, I would only allow to send him a message. When I try to view his main page it would only allow me to send him a message. When I click my orders and click on the listing I ordered, it says item no longer listed.
I tried to exchange $125 mp to bitcoins with him and when I went to check my MP it told me the balance is $0...
WHAT HAPPENED?? :( :( :(

sounds like he might be in stealth mode, which means a vendor has gone 'invisible' so to speak. his listings will only be accessible to people who have a stealth listing or the URL for his stealth listings (I'm not entirely sure about how that part works), and he won't have searchable listings or a public listing page.

I just read about that
Now I really do believe this guy will come thru as he seems nice and easy to communicate with
I will update tomorrow

I'm on the page of a vendor in "Stealth Mode" right now, as long as you're a fan or have their URL bookmarked (or memorised if you're Rain Man-esque), you can still access their profile.
If all you can do is send them a message, it means they no longer have vendor status.
kobebryant0824, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if your money is gone and you've got no BTC, you've probably been scammed. The good news is that now you're on the forums, there's tons of info on how to safely obtain BTC, so hopefully this will be the last time it happens.
Sorry dude.

It seems so odd tho, so it's quite possible that he's not in stealth mode and just left?
He had about 3-4 5/5 feedback earlier in the day so I don't understand why he would just leave like that. I gave him my MP code on Friday and $$ was still there until earlier today when I checked. It was until a few hours ago when I checked and it had a balance of 0, then I tried to go to his main page and it would only allow me to send him a message. All his listings dissipated on the public searches, etc.
I really hope I wake up with coins in my account because I really did trusted this guy and somehow my gut still tells me he will. He seemed like a nice dude and it's odd that the MP didn't cash out until a few hours ago when I gave send him my order with my code since FRI then now all this happens at once.

so confused IDK what to think right now

yikes. benjy's right about the stealth mode vs. no longer a vendor deal; I had it confused. other than that, I'm sorry, dude. it does sound like scamsville. but like he said, you'll have knowledge on your side now, and everyone here is super helpful when it comes to BTC and security questions.

I am kinda new to SR also. I saw 5hunn500's listings but I noticed that he didn't have the parenthesis rating behind his name so I didn't conduct any business with him. I also did a search for his name here on the forums and didn't see anything so that was a MAJOR warning signal.
-
Please be very careful about who you order from or do transactions with...there's a lot of warning signs with this vendor and I don't want anyone to lose their money!

If you're going to buy BTC I would strongly suggest using Sugar Mama. I've only used her once but my first experience with her went extremely well and she is a very pleasant person to deal with. I'm sorry for you loss though man.. definitely sucks to get burned.

UPDATE-
5hunna500 was a scam. He seemed to be processing some but then also stealing some. SR notified me that he has been banned for selling until he provides us with our money he stole.
There was many post about this dude on this forum, which I didn't really check before hand and now I am victim. :( I guess someone else said they got scammed for $1000 and $600
Looks like I'll be using these forums from now on, I just got another MP and I don't think I'll be seeing my other one anytime soon.
Bottom line = stay away from this guy until he can prove he wants to be a businessman!!!

It's happened to the best of us mate. Hope it's smooth sailing from now on!
