Re: Scammed 75 Bitcoins by Skype Scammer 'BankerBTC' - Community Beware
Hi, I am very new here. I am neither a regular bitcoin trader, nor a bitcointalker. But, for my love of the blockchain technology as a tech innovator, I got caught up in one of bankerbtc scams as a bystander. I signed up on this forum just to join this discussion, as input from member community might help resolve my case and compensate the pain that Ive gone through. 
In my case, the so called Facebook hack victim (bankerbtc accomplice if you may) who claims a charge back of USD 6,800, also made up the same sister friend Facebook hack story to the banks & law enforcement, threatening me with dire consequences. He actually met me face-to-face twice. As a good will gesture, I even shared with him all the real-time evidence of a perfectly legitimate bitcoin transaction as it actually happened, and even offered to share some of his losses. But now, on the hindsight, after reviewing the evidence, and looking at the pattern of this scam and its modus operandi shared by others on this and other forums, I have very little doubt in my mind that either this guy is an accomplice of bankerbtc, or definitely an accomplice of an accomplice. Otherwise why would an honest man transfer money on a Facebook chat to a lady and actually send it to the account of an unknown male, and do it not once, but twice (by adding an unknown person as a beneficiary on his account)? As this dispute is still live and on-going, I would appreciate more feedbacks/leads from members of this community who have any info on similar scams.

You say the dispute is ongoing and you are in communication with the scammers accomplice who is claiming the charge back by pretending to be the victim. Well, just see if you can get the transcript of his Facebook chat. I am damn sure you will find clues that will establish exact same scamming pattern as in other Facebook scams reported on this scammer.
I actually tried to get Facebook chat evidence from the bank and also asked him a couple of times, but without any success. May be there was no Facebook hack at all, it's just a made up story by bankbtc and his accomplice. In any case the scamming pattern is the same as reported is similar scams across the world, which should be enough circumstantial evidence.
Re: Scammed 75 Bitcoins by Skype Scammer 'BankerBTC' - Community Beware
maybe the lesson here is not to trade on Skype?
Well, it actually turns out that Skype was indeed a blessing in disguise in my case. Fortunately, logs of live text chat documenting every step from receiving the buy request to piecemeal deposit of BTC to buyer's wallet addresses over a period that extended to almost 10 hours with time stamps unequivocally prove that the buyer indeed received the goods in a genuine provable transaction for which buyer made the payment. With this evidence in place the scammer's accomplice is finding it very hard to make his Facebook hack story compelling. But, of course in any legal system the complainant always has an initial first-to-complain advantage, and burden shifts to the defendant. Without the Skype evidence and my diligence in investigating the scam, the burden would have definitely been much heavier.
