Got scammed 1BTC and received 0 Nxtcoin :(
« on: December 04, 2013, 06:57:09 AM »
Hi,

I traded ...well thought i was trading 1btc for some Nxtcoin but unfortunately i was scammed. The user had the username "bybitcoin" but i contact that user from the bitcointalk forum and it turns out to be a false user.

I am pretty upset because that was alot of money but i hope someone can track him down. At the end of the day i hope that this is what all these coins mean..that we can find the people giving it a bad name and just going in for their greed rather than the beautiful thing this stands for.

Anyways, i hope this can prevent someone else from beign scammed and stop all these selfish people trying to give these coins a bad name.

hints:

- Always trade in small amounts and see whether anyone else has done any trades with that person
- Use a escrow service at all times (i realised one existed for Nxtcoin after sending it)


Cheers

User bitme on this forum is not bitme from bitcointalk.org
This is just to inform - not scam accusation.

Happened the same to me. It seems that he just made 3000 dollars in a few minutes...
Show your love by sending me some Nxt coins ;)
