As for who, who knows. I'm not going to reveal specifics about pms I've seen in reports here, but I will say it's not wise to taunt scammers when you leave them negative feedback. It's disrespectful, and a good way to make enemies.

I am sure that a lot (or at least some) of the people that receive negative trust is a result of a misunderstanding and may not truly be trying to scam. If this is the case then taunting after giving negative trust means that you are taunting someone who is trying to operate legitimately.

Imo that behavior is very unprofessional and reflects very poorly on him.

I've sent only the pm to the impostors , check my sent feedback. In my opinion you are trying to argue with me , but you can't make a valid conversation.

An example :

- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=408037 I think this is an impostor .
- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=407961 also him.

- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=407925 discovered also " fedsn0w" ....

It is never appropiate to taunt someone. The trade with caution is enough to stop anyone trying to impersonate someone else. They were probably trying to actually have a presence here if they bothered to report any messages. There was what was probably a honest misunderstanding when someone made a thread in meta about getting negative trust minutes after creating an account that was similar to your username. My impression of him was that he thought of the name independently of your reputation here (although he may have been trying to get the trust removed to scam). I haven't seen that person around since the day he made that thread so he probably either left the community or made another account.

he said numerous times that the mistake was unintentional when he was asked if he was going to repay out of his own pocket. This leads me to believe that he was not planning on paying out of my own pocket. The situation was resolved quickly enough so that it didn't need to come to that

Well he may or may not have done the right thing in that situation but I guess we'll never know now. Luckily for everyone involved really. Regardless, redsnow's rep is somewhat tarnished and your feedback can stay if you so wish it to be. That's your call.

I think my trust is appropiate for now. The maximum affect it will have is cause a trade with caution warning for anyone that has me on their trust list. This is an example of why you should trade with caution when dealing with him. Anyone reading my rating will see that I do not think he is going to actively try to scam.

The negative feedback is harsh as he has stopped providing escrow from his main account. Keep a look out for one of his alts to start providing escrow.

If you want to provide negative feedback to anybody, do it to Canary. The default trust power went to his head and he started the taunting after that.

there is nothing to say that he wouldn't provide escrow if asked (there is no reason why him saying he won't escrow anymore in the future - changing his mind would not make him a liar). My trust rating warns people against asking him to escrow
