What happened:: I noticed three newbies complaining that
some138 has not delivered on paid orders, and is not responding to the claims by these newbies that they have been scammed.
Scammers Profile Link: some138Scammer Flag: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=241Reference Link: Here he is agreeing to a sale in his AWS sales thread:
I, Jake, paid 110$ BTC to Some138 at address:
3PX42b1tL3fHw2rXub7uH1exzpxw46Xrrn
as prepayment for SES account.
Account must be delivered in 72h.
I accept the agreement.
Then the buyer replying days later:
He hasnt responded to me in days. DO NOT TRADE WITH.
Other complaints:
He collected my $100 and never responded. I never knew a full member on btk can be such a lowlife. I'll open a thread and share full details soon.
http://archive.fo/zbp6bThis user is a scammer. Paid 110$. Promised to deliver an amazon SES account within 72 hours. After that time went silent while seeing that i wrote him. Beware. Have chat history on telegram.
http://archive.fo/lbB5bAdditional Notes: Some138 has been online today, and has yet to respond to these allegations.
This could be someone using fake newbie accounts to attempt to tarnish Some138's reputation, but looks more like Some138 is taking advantage of newbies status and preying on those who not likely to get heard when they accuse an established member of a scam. There are also older claims that some138 has scammed them, he could be scamming users selectively.
I'd like to see those who are claiming to have been scammed respond here with signed messages and TxIds.
