Recently I am seeing people claims that they have thousands of Bitcoins stuck in their old wallet.dat files and they can not access because they do not know the passward.
Example:
wallet.dat 3050 BTChttp://archive.is/XtqmLThe user is selling their wallet.dat file.
Now I am selling my wallet.dat via openbazaar official desk
Hard drive with 1000+ BTC, totally inaccessible.http://archive.is/FhcPTUser is selling the hard drive for 1BTC (buy it now price).
Starting price: 0.03 BTC
Increments: 0.005 BTC
Buy now: 1 BTC
I am pretty sure more people will follow them to create the same kind of topics.
These things simply do not adds up unless you connect it with scam attempts and truth is that this is indeed scam attempt.
If someone have a hard drive or wallat.dat file with 1000+ BTC which they can not access then they are not going to sell their dat files for one Bitcoin or less. They will physically find someone to resolve this, even if needed - they will travel around the world to find the right person for this job.
Please stay away from this kind of offers.
Edit:
Adding up this:
Thanks actmyname.
