Hi all,

To my friends from Just-Dice who know me as KingDice, and to those on this forum and my followers on Twitter:@cryptotipz, I would like to bring alert to a scammer that has been getting away with scamming dozens of people, of whom I fell victim to a couple weeks ago. He goes under the name "bittrex-richie" on Just-Dice.com time to time, and he's also on IRC on several channels. I even spotted him in the #bittrex channel under the name "bittrex-richle" << notice the "l" instead of "i." Very discrete, very subtle. He is NOT to be confused with the genuine bittrex-richie who works for Bittrex exchange. Having said that, I agreed to trade with this user, 360 CLAMs for 2.14 BTC, and having known the name bittrex-richie, and after he posted screenshots of his BTC balance in BTC-e to withdraw, I foolishly fell into this scam and sent him 360 CLAMs first. Here is a link to the conversation that happened between us on Just-Dice, I was under the account "QueenDice" while he was under the name "bittrex-richie"

Chat exchange: http://pastie.org/10247792

I was able to notify Dooglus and he graciously contacted Bittrex on behalf of me, however Bittrex REFUSED to disclose whether that was or was not an address of theirs, that is the address I had sent the 360 CLAMs to. Later on, interestingly, my account QueenDice on Just-Dice was hacked and the same bittrex-richie tried to exploit some other members of the community with no luck. I'm not sure how or why my account was compromised, but I did not have 2FA on it and a few days prior I had forgot the "/" before verifying my identity on IRC, thus exposing my password. Beaware of Bittrex-Richie in the IRC, in Just-Dice, and other dice sites. His IP shows that he lives in Serbia according to Dooglus and I want to let everyone know to be careful and not fall into the same trap I did, foolishly. It was my mistake and I've paid the consequences and suffered a loss here.

I hope this post is helpful to bring awareness to Bittrex-Richie, other scammers, and why using an escrow is a great option if you don't know whom you are trading with.

This is not a Cryptsy deposit address. I would try Poloniex. Sorry to hear about your loss

I don't think its Poloniex either, and Bittrex won't comment if its there's or not.. but by now its probably too late. Just hope no one else falls for this again.
