Yeh nahi sudharega. I got many complaints from customers in past couple weeks, that he is posing as me and trying to scam. He scammed my regular client out of ₹5000/- saying he is associated with me. IDK why he uses my name since everyone knows I'm not even in India right now.

Also his latest scam seems to be posting several "buy with cash" ads on LBC and not enabling escrow. Be careful.

Hi Anup,

yes his deal sounded very fishy and the moment i knew he was a scammer in disguise, i started to play with him  Grin

I think you need to inform people who deal with you on a regular basis that they should contact you immediately when contacted about a trade, at least that way he will not be able to scam them. When i asked for proof that it was Anup, he told me that your id shows offline, so then i asked him to come online on LB and he started avoiding me, till i drew him in again saying that i have 3 BTC to sell. Damn, nearly got him to send me 0.1 BTC to prove that he was legit  Grin.
I did something like this to a 419 scammer earlier and the guy actually had someone waiting for me at the Bangalore airport!  Grin
