Title: Moneypak to bitcoin or cash
Post by: ineedabuddy on February 15, 2013, 02:05 pm
Hello SR community! This is my first post.

I recently got my hands on moneypak and found a BMR vendor (name I will withold until I know for certain I am not getting my bticoins) who told me he would exchange my moneypak for bitcoins. Of course he wanted me to send info first, which I unwillingly obliged. He had 24 sales so I figured he was somewhat reputable. He told me he needed a few hours to get me the bitcoins. It's been about 24 hours now and he still hasn't responded to my messages or sent me anything. I am assuming I got scammed for now.

Now, instead of having to deal with scumbags like him, how would one cash out a moneypak? I understand you can use a prepaid debit card, but that requires a SS#, which I don't think is appropriate for me to give out. Or does anyone know of any other way to use moneypak to buy goods on SR?

Also it seems like this is the only place on the forum where I can create new posts. I guess this is because I am a noobie?

Yes it's cause you're a n00b.

Moneypak is the haven of scam artists.  Use BitCopia or BitInstant to get your coins.  You can also use BlueSkyTraders here. 

I don't know if you really mean to "cash out" your moneypak, but you could easily just load the code onto your paypal and have money that way.  This guy undoubtedly already cashed it though...  Sorry charlie.
