I've been advised to publicly share my experience with the community to prevent others from going through a similar experience.

Last night I agreed to purchase 1 million COMM for 0.2 BTC from 'SANBASHIYI'. Having read very positive reviews from senior members who'd done business with SANBASHIYI I made the mistake of not using an escrow service. Everything went smoothly and SANBASHIYI even acknowledged receiving the funds. His last reply was "OK WAIT A MINUTE"...then he was gone.

The unfortunate reality is that people are willing to sell their reputations and good name for what in the big picture is an insignificant amount.

To minimize this loss I've asked Community Coin's developer if he would consider sending me SANBAYISHI's second round coins. Either way I've come away from this experience appreciating the culture of Community Coin so much more.

It's experiences like this which make us 1000X stronger and wiser.

wow sad to see that. that is worth 2M comms right? Hope the community can donate some to you.

Appreciate the support. It was worth 1M COMM....he was selling at 20 satoshi each.

20 sat is well below market price... you know what we used to say: when it is too good to be true... well you know the end...

He'd sold to other members and was highly rated before last night.
