Hey Everyone!

I have sad news. I was scammed. And being naive and not knowing enough played a role at this. Also greed was in this.
There is a user named BobbyL and he also goes by Michail1. He was looking to buy a large quantity of XC. We talked and he agreed to buy everything I had because he was offering me 3.5BTC for 1500 XC. 1500XC was my total amount I had been saving since June. I've been buying a few here and there every week (especially when it was cheap back in June).

He setup a wallet on blockchain.info with a username and password with 3.5 BTC in it. When I logged into the wallet to check, I saw the BTC. I didn't get the private key to transfer funds out. He told me to send him the XC and I will get the private key. Well, I sent the XC, but he never sent anything and changed the password very quickly. This person wont return my emails. His email is passat.ltc@gmail.com - He goes by Michail Hoffman.

I lost my life savings. 4 months of saving XC and it's all gone due to greed for some quick turn around cash. I feel bad. If anyone knows how to get my XC back, please help.

Why did you do an off-exchange exchange? You could have seen this coming.

I hope you get your XC back, I can't help you with it though, sorry.

Or he is trying to scam the XC community for donations claiming he was scammed out of his XC. Who knows? It all sounds fishy to me.

Lets not try to the blame the victim here. On the record he sent me a message in PM privately, I suggested my reason to what had happened and explained that it might be best to post here or on reddit.

I hear ya, but it makes me skeptical when you see their pattern of posting, claiming hardship, and then accepting donations from community members to ultimately find out that they then got scammed out of everything.

I've said my piece and won't comment on it again.

Can you demonstrate this "pattern of posting, claiming hardship, and then accepting donations from community members [...]" from Akula?

In your time of need, i would hope you do not receive the very same treatment you are giving Akula.

Provide proof, or hold your tongue.
