Wasn't asking for PUBLIC reveal, but if the IP's match the account of the person who sold it to me? The account should NOT be handed over to them PERIOD, signed message or not, as that would mean THEY INDEED sold it to me. I DOUBT the hacker/seller/whatever used their own IP, they probably used TOR or a VPN most likely anyway. I was just asking IF they COULD look into it before handing the account over is all. If they can't it's fine also as I said previously.

Have a good night everyone!

 

This is the user who sold me the account the other day was: @ethornet https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=674801

Please look into the IP's of @ethornet and compare it to the IP's of the current owner, whoever it winds up being.

I will turn over the account to whoever the admins suggest, if it makes it easier on everyone, just let me know!

At least the scumbag hacker didn't severely scam anyone else with the account.

I'm ASSuming the other account the user sold me is hacked also, so if the admins want that one just post a message here and I'll send you the info on that account, although it looks like no one has YET to come forward and claim it.

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback guys, yeah in the end the fault is my own for not getting a signed message and believing the Seller.

Whatever the admins decide is fine by me, but I honestly don't believe the account was "hacked".

The account will not be used outside of posting on this thread anyway until the admins have decided on the accounts fate OR I can give control of the account to one of the admins until it's all sorted out, their choice. Just received a "password reset" email 1 Hour ago that included the following IP: 195.62.223.146 which is definitely not my IP.

TO ADMINS: You have my permission to take control of the account at anytime and do with it as you see fit!

TO "THE ACCOUNT SELLER": You got me, enjoy the Bitcoin scumbag!

No I didn't, the seller sent the accounts (there were two) first and said he didn't have any signed message available in his selling thread, that he hadn't staked any addresses or something to that effect. I have purchased accounts before without issue, I did the normal checks and looked through recent posts to look for loans, staked addresses etc... but could not find an address staked anyway. I also check the sec log to see if passwords had been recently changed also, and again nothing. So I then took control of the accounts and sent the bitcoin to finalize the deal. I DOUBT the account was hacked honestly, but I have no problem returning it either if it can be confirmed by a moderator that the person who logged into the account before me was NOT the same person who staked the address from last week. If a moderator confirms the account looks "hacked", I'll take the bitcoin hit for the account.

Listen if a trusted member of the site can verify this person claiming to be the "rightful" owner is indeed the rightful owner?

I'll be glad to hand it over without issue. Just let me know!

The account is safe and in good hands, and IF the account was hacked? It will be given back to its rightful owner without hesitation.

Can a moderator look into the recent logins of this account before I purchased it yesterday, to VERIFY that this account belongs to this person and it was indeed hacked?

Yeah because the password had not been changed, my bad on that one, live and learn. Can this user prove he is the owner from an address olded then last week?

Hey guys just saw this, I purchased this account yesterday along with a full member account.

The passwords on the two accounts had NOT been changed prior to me purchasing yesterday, so I didn't think anything was fishy with the accounts.

Purchased from the listing here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1362097.msg13861853#msg13861853

I'll gladly give the account back to the rightful owner if they can prove it was indeed hacked, just want to make sure I was not scammed by the user.

Please let me know how to proceed.

Staking new bitcoin address. Please quote for future reference.
