OG was not removed as treasurer.. OG is still a forum treasurer..

It is a super armature mistake getting your account phished..
OG shouldn’t have had to explain that elementary security precaution any more than he should have to explain to you to double check your sending address..

Deals with only messages from accounts are the norm.. Most know you keep their account secure, especially if they are relying on it for such deals..

You could have chosen many different ways of using an escrow.. You chose basic..
You could also have had OG receive the miner and then ship it to you, to make sure a miner existed.. Many do this with physical coins..

This is 99% your fault..

I’ve been scammed in crypto 2 times.. Both were my fault..
Once when I was very very new to crypto for like a $20 gift card..

The other time for one of those pet buying scams because my GF wanted a specific car, and I was drinking and playing cards and didn’t think twice and just paid for it..
Actually I was really really an idiot and ASKED if they would take BTC because I didn’t have Venmo..
Think it was like $450.. I was a total idiot..

This sucks.. I know..
I really don’t think you should be blaming OG for it though..

Actually I’m pretty sure OG is quite suspicious here that this is a setup to scam or try to defame HIM..
Look at it from his point of view too..
