First of all, that is not my neteller account.

He sent to my roberto.breiva@gmail.com that is my neteller account. I ask the OP to show the source of neteller funds. My account was blocked after I received the funds.

Hold up, so did I send to roberto.breiva@gmail.com and then your neteller got blocked?

Or did I send to btn.iulian@gmail.com neteller which then got blocked?

Because if btn.iulian isn't yours, you should have no idea if it was blocked or not. And it should have been blocked, over two days I made many phone calls to Neteller trying to sort this out. Hardly surprising they would block btn.iulian as a precaution. Which Neteller is blocked coin.trader?

Here is the Neteller transaction:

Here is a screenshot you sent me in tawk.to/robertoexchange where you showed me the refund mentioned in OP was declining:

E-mail: roberto.breiva@gmail.com

I got a pm from a different user using the same mail Huh

I agree on this... how we proceed

skrill: roberto.breiva@gmail.com

We can do it on parts or you first. Lets do it fast if you need. Also we can split in more transaction but you being a newbie i am reallly sorry but you must go first

Good find. His active thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1940623.20) has coin.trader posting too. I wonder why Furwin would give somebody elses neteller and free money. Any explanation coin.trader?

There isn't really a great way on this forum to know someone is a scammer if they are here doing successful trades so I'm not sure how they could be identified before they decide to scam. Also keep in mind that "successful trades" can be faked by other accounts owned by the same person (alts), and they can leave as much "untrusted" feedback on themselves as they want, making it look like they are trading with other "users" when they really are not.

Members with "green" trust on their trusted 0/0/0 score are usually the ones with actual proven trades because they have been given positive feedback by other DT members, whom are generally trusted by most of the community, but my belief is even green users should also always be looked at before trading. You should always look at the user who is leaving them feedback as well to ensure it's not just random newbies/alts or other scammers themselves posting feedback for whatever reason.

Once a scammer's account has been marked "red" by a DT member, their accounts usually become pretty worthless to them because nobody (except maybe other scammers) are going to want to trade with them, and they cannot easily sell their account or use them in most signature campaigns.

The escrow's job is to act as a trusted middle man between the trade to prevent the opportunity to scam. If an escrow was always used, there should be minimal opportunity to scam. There is a chance the escrow turns into a scammer themselves, but this is much more unlikely, and rare, especially if you are using a reputable escrow that has handled a lot of successful trades with large amounts and has been around a long time.

The admins could probably do more to proactively fight scammers but I believe they have deemed it as just too much overhead to monitor and really just put the burden on the community members themselves to be vigilant.

Thanks for the info. I've been on multiple forums for various trading in my life. By a wide margin, this website has the biggest number of scammers, unless they are a small group with multiple accounts. I understand scammers will always be present, but with such a high % of scammers I assume something else is going on to allow them to flourish. It may also just be the anonymous nature of crypto.

I PMed OgNasty last night, and he said he doesnt use Skype, claimed 98% of users from Bitcointalk who use Skype are scammers. Reflecting, this is probably fairly accurate. I think I will listen to his advice and stick to PMs only despite the 6 minute wait between PMs and maximum 5/hour. And obviously use an escrow every time.

Mostly I'm angry at myself for contributing to the problem by falling for the scam and being the reason scammers are here Sad

Thanks again for the guidance, much appreciated.

Thanks for the info. Essential reading really.
Also, how is using an escrow with a scammer enabling their scamming? 
It's a personal belief. If they trade for whatever reason and scam when the opportunity presents, they have two reasons to stay. If we take away the frequent successful trades, it can make it not worth their time to stick around purely to scam.

Rephrased, if the site is more functional for a person, a person is more likely to hang around. The purpose of this thread isn't to solve problems though, I am new and can only pretend to know the ins and outs of this forum. Case in point, the fact that this thread exists.

I've left feedback for this user... there is an unpaid giveaway where excuses are being made and at least 2 others saying he has not sent the BTC.
"Moderators do not remove likely scams. You must use your own brain: caveat emptor."
A reputable escrow would have been a good choice here.
Agreed, full responsibility here. I took for granted the trust under the username on posts. I assumed 0/0/0 meant no negative feedback. I'm not sure how it works, but I guess I have to click the trust link on every single person. I agree with using an escrow, but I feel using an escrow with scammers only enables their further scamming and keeps them functioning on bitcointalk, when what we need is them disabled from plaguing this site.

What happened::
coin.trader saw my thread in Marketplace/Currency Exchange and PMed me a link to https://tawk.to/robertoexchange, where he has live chat. We chat, agree on price, I propose increments and he agrees. I send US$100 through Neteller to btn.iulian@gmail.com. He proceeded to stall, claiming sync errors with his wallets since he has been away for weeks. Hours pass. I request a refund. He says there will be too many fees since his account is in EUR, and there will be another conversion to USD. I offer my EUR Neteller which is a luxury of being Gold VIP. He claims a declined transaction. I request he send back the USD to the original email I transferred from. He says there will only be US$72 after fees (should be $92). I agree since at this stage I expect to get $0 back. Claims constant declining transactions. As expected, recieve $0. My fault for not clicking the 'trust' link. It showed up all zeros. When I clicked there were multiple negatives, no idea why it doesnt show underneath the username on each post to make it a little more obvious. No idea why such a negative user has an active thread, and isn't banned.

At this stage, I am fairly confident this is a scammer. If there is anything else I need to supply, please let me know. If coin.trader makes anyy transfers of BTC/ETH/US$ I will update accordingly. I recommend everybody avoid until this issue is resolved.

Did you call skrill about this issue and when he have sent you the money did you accept it or was it still pending?

I did not. I will call them tomorrow. Thank you for the idea, I will update when I get new information.

The account was existing already so I believe it is automatic. However when I log in to be sure payment was sent, I always see 'Processed' and the $ in my balance before releasing bitcoins.

I asked for a escrow and did not reply Smiley

Apologies, just saw I had PMs unread. The notifications didn't really get my attention.

Happy to use escrow, depending on who pays and how much it costs. Whose responsibility is it normally to pay for escrow? The person with $ or BTC?

I will not send first without escrow for people of similar/lesser activity.

Sorry about any delay, I have to wait 360 seconds between posts/PMs.

Used Skrill. US$580 payment processed, bitcoins released. Logged into my account 3 weeks later seeing balance of $0. Skrill sent no email so I'm not sure the exact time it was canceled. Payment shows as 'canceled'. Skrill informs me the buyer canceled the payment, otherwise entirely unhelpful.

Spoke on Skype. User will NOT send first, claims to have lost 0.22 BTC through scammers already and is not prepared to lose more. May need a trader with more trade history than myself. Good luck all!

Okay that works. However, you still have to post *proof* of said user using this Skype in their transactions. Do you have any PM logs?

Skype name seems to have changed from what I initially saw. Timestamps probably say the most here.

His Neteller is innominatus010101@gmail.com and his skype OP listed was innominatus010101. Post histories of both scammers include the same haves/wants (GoldMoney, Dubai vault, BTC, Neteller Euros)
I couldn't find this information in their post history. Could you post some proof? For example, some kind of logs that show that said user is using that Neteller account.

Of course. Skype convo and Neteller transaction for 20 Euro.

innominatus has made a second account BundaRokas (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=939576). I was scammed for 20 euro, and on innominatus he ended up scamming before abandoning the account.
What makes you think that this is their second account?

Op states that he won't be paying any fees  Shocked

I am prepared to pay escrow fees since they are for my safety, but because I plan on buying long term a lot of BTC I won't be paying 5%+ preev.
Then you won't find anyone to deal with on this forum, only scammers will accept that since most people here are selling for a minimum of 5% and a maximum of 20%, so you should be prepared to wait a few weeks before you doyour first exchange if you ever get one.

I'm absolutely prepared to wait. I'm looking to buy a lot. I am hoping to find one or two people with lots of BTC who for whatever reason are looking to sell. Definitely not rushing into this or needing to have everything done in days, more like months. Thank you for the warning.

WARNING: this user BundaRokas (Bunda Rokas) supposedly from Lithuania scammed me for 20 Euro. I sent Euro first from my Neteller account to his Neteller innominatus010101@gmail.com. He never sent BTC. Does not reply on skype (live:34fc4af66202ad91).

Sharing the same Neteller as the user innominatus (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=850058) who scammed in this thread too: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1720204

More information: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1693817.0

If you are going to trade, NEVER send first and don't receive anything that may be reversible (Skrill, Neteller, accounts).
