Sorry to hear you got scammed, but you weren't the only one.

Looks like I got scammed by Erdogan for $15 BTC.  I was suppose to receive an AWS account, but no reply since payment was made 8 hours ago.

I'm the one that sent 0.01005 BTC to that same address, which he moved to another wallet.

Thanks for posting this.



EDIT:
After going back and looking at Erdogan's posting history, it looks like an obvious hacked account.

There was about a year and a half of inactivity and you can see a drastic difference in the posts.

The user even posted this shortly before the inactivity:

I want to abandon bitcointalk, but it is difficult if everybody is spread thin all over internet. So where to?

So note to everyone, watch out for hacked hero accounts.

Oh that sucks :/
They should disable that account for now .-.
They won't do that,  because that's flimsy evidence of a hacked account, or even a sold account, and they don't ban scammers anyhow.   But you two are absolutely right,  watch out for shit like this.  And listen to the people who tell you to use escrow, because NO ONE on this forum should be trusted based on rank alone.  This idiot didn't even have positive trust.   It could very well be a hacked or purchased account.
