I sent Bybitcoin (I just verified with the real one on Bitcointalk, that wasn't him) 1 BTC earlier this morning and he vanished. While not the end of the world for money, still stings. I was racing out the door to head to work, I should have verified against the legit account first on Bitcointalk. My fault, just letting others know.

Repeat, this isn't Bybitecoin on Bitcointalk.

VERIFY the person is who they claim to be if claiming to be from another board!  VERIFY any trading references!  DONT assume just because a trading reference works out that you are safe!  It could be a shill account!

My own fault, rushing to handle a few deals as I was headed out the door. Been doing this for awhile, my first time I got smashed. On the plus side, look at that NXT go. :)

Not really.  you will have to verify on the other board if they are indeed the same person.  and then you will need to decide if you trust them based on their rep on that other board.

yeah, not upfront - but I mean afterwards:
e.g. if lophesuicire from this forum proves that he is lophie from bitcointalk.org ban lophie

It's not only confusing but dangerous, if someone comes in with a Hero-Member name from bitcointalk and starts here!

And of course, you shouldn't have to track that, but if we have a scam report, like the lophie-case or the Bybitcoin-case, why not get the proof, and ban the imposter (whichever it might be). Otherwise every user (even the most vulnerable newbies) has to do a lot of verification before trading or communicating.

Here in the forum is a guy which does not hold for agreed arrangements.

With him I have a deal.

I wanted to replace LTC against NxT.

to the sample I have offered only a very small amount in exchange. And to this day not received a performance.

Messages will not be answered. The User online and not responding.

I want to warn you about the user and his profile here.
