ok don't tag the guy selling bitcointalk accounts from a self moderated thread then he can continue scamming more people since you would act due to it not being a proper scam accusation thread. Ever see the movie Dangerous Minds? "Because he didn't knock?"
Done. I just saw this thread, did not see that thread initially; and I would have tagged him anyway.
But my question is: Did this guy actually scam you, or is this thread about him just deserving a neg for selling his account? Either way, self-moderated threads in conjunction with selling bct accounts is sketchy as hell and deserving of a red. Duly provided, sir.
No he has not scammed me but i am not an idiot. Some people are though and have already fell for his scam it schemes. Im just fucking sick of these TERRIBLE AND OBVIOUS scams that aren't being tagged. Self moderated and/or locked threads buying and selling anything especially bitcointalk accounts are one of those obvious ones especially when it is newbie/jr.member
Most of the account sellers are already tagged by The Pharmacist and other active DT members. But sometimes they do miss some cases. Just PM a DT member in that case like The Pharmacist and they should be able to sort it out when they see your message.
Anyways, there is a possibility that the account seller isn't even legit and just there to take your funds. He's trying to get you to contact him through email, off forum, so that he can try to convince you to go without escrow, etc. Plus, the risk of him claiming that the account was hacked after you purchase is always present as well.
To any account buyers, there is not really anything to gain through purchasing an account, there is a risk of you getting scammed, a risk of him claiming the account back, and a huge risk that you're tagged as an account buyer. Thank you OP for pointing this case out, btw.
