A similar case for this user, I am getting calls from people that he has scammed them, by asking to ay into my account and not delivering on his end

So this guy also hacked into someone's bank account and sent funds for purchase? If this is the case, and we see many more like this, i guess we need to be careful because it could be a con artist at work who deliberately creates a bank account and transfers funds from there, gets the bitcoin and asks his friend to come and claim that his account was hacked and funds were transferred. Something like land sold by real estate developers, where they sell SC / ST land and then instigate the SC / ST guys to go and fight for the land and claim a bounty from the new land owner because he knows that SC/ ST land should not have been purchased by him in the first place. Once the bounty is claimed, it is shared between the real estate guy and the SC / ST guy and the poor buyer is left with a huge hole in his pocket. In India, you do not need to look very far to spot a scam, it happens at every level!
