Hey Guys,
Some of you may remember me from the litecointalk forum, i was a big supporter of Alpha Technology until the delays happened, now I am on the other side of the fence and i was unfortunate to have ordered the 1 x 250Mhashing device. In a bid to get all my money back I had seen the posts from retro72 on this forum as he was saying PM him for more information, so i pm'd him. He was very determined to help me and to cut the story short said he would help file money claims for me and also get me a UK legal representative (his wife Veronica) as back-up to get me my money back, he said he had helped many people get their money back through this approach and it would 100% work. I had listened to Retro72 and he said he knew exactly what to do and would do all this for a fee of $500. It has been 2 weeks and I do not get any PM replies or email replies from Retro72, he has scammed me and i would like to ask him why he did this, and to please give my money back (I paid him via BTC). Has anybody else fallen for Retro72? if so what do you advice i do?
The b****rd Retro72 is playing a very clever strategy where he is making use of a anonymous character and bad situation for customers so he makes money from false hopes of me getting my almost $10k in money i paid alpha. I was told the $500 is peanuts compared to what i was guaranteed, so it was very enticing.
I have been taken for a ride both ways, and it has been very depressing. The email Retro72 told me to privately email, I had googled this email and found he is registered domain on the same email address, and after further digging through many database websites I have found his full private details (i googled map his address), I suggest someone who has money and has also been scammed by Retro72 to take this further, he is not anonymous, Retro i know who you are! and I will get justice. He also has an accomplice named Veronica, who he claims is his wife and is a barrister who deals with the legal aspects so they can guarantee me my money back.
Anyway for anyone who has been also scammed by retro72 here is his details, so you can make your own claims and contact actionfraud, like i have done. If you have been scammed by retro you can ring him directly and confront him! (i know the number works as i have rang it before).

Any random person promising to get you X$, and ALL you have to do is give them Y$ up front is a scam... an OBVIOUS scam. Even real life lawyers pull this same scam EVERY DAY. Random internet ppl... ya.. def 100% chance it's a scam. It's most likely someone else's name and address he gave you, so that if you look it up, you see a real person.
