Title: Dear SR Staff, please ban BenzoKing before he makes off with thousands!
Post by: punkrocksucks on August 12, 2013, 03:39 am
I'm trying to get his account locked down ASAP to avoid people from losing their money! I was scammed once by MrBuddha and almost again by this guy.

Here is the thread with all my research: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=200802

Thanks.

Okay, so I read your post and have been looking at the this guys feedback... where is the scam again?  Were you scammed by him?  If so you never really said how.  Please explain.

I posted a link at the bottom of the post: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=200682

It shows that another user got scammed just hours ago by him. Things started seeming fishy so I started digging around and doing research on him and all roads lead to him being a scammer.

I personally didn't send him my code, because I started realizing all these things that were huge red flags!

BenzoKing has been messaging me frequently saying he has a lot of cash in the pipeline from people who want bitcoins. I told him I have plenty of coins to sell but he has to send me the cash or MP's in advance and he was agreeable, then he sent me an MP for a smaller amount and it was no good. I ahve not sent him anything nor heard back yet, but the whole time he kept asking if I could send him coins in advance.

My rep. is too good. I have been burned by Domestic Drops AKA White Out supposedly due to MrBuddha and I don't like the feeling of cock in my ass. I am wary of BenzoKing but he has now actually burned anyone that I know of. If he comes through eventually, I will update this thread.

Post by: ServingUpHeat on August 12, 2013, 06:51 am
i did a transaction with him and am still waiting on my bitcoins. How could someone else end up with this dudes account? Did someone see benzoking sell his account on the forums or something? I really thought I was good to go and there was just a minor hiccup but now I am gonna have another stressful night hoping shit goes through. I guess having the other successful reload transactions made me a little lax and in the end it may have cost me. I guess I dont know why this looks fishy, there was positive feedback and could you post the ones that were from the people who may not have been associated w/ benzoking. I mean what did this guy just make a bunch of fake SR account buy his own listings too boost feedback? This really sucks he said he was waiting on some coin to come through Im guessing It was yours but now I have heard 2 seperate post that he sent fake MP codes. Now its been quite a while since I have even heard a reply from this guy. Well me and 1 other person have said they were scammed by him so I guess in the next few days we will know for sure if it was a hiccup or we just got screwed over.

If cirrus passed them up for an audit and all you guys have been reporting them and sending in customer support tickets this will be well and truly on the admins radar. If they discover any shady behavior I would expect Libertas to post something in this thread.

Silk Road can not offer support for Bitcoin exchange purchases and we recommend that you do not buy/sell Bitcoin from/to exchangers operating on Silk Road. Please re-read the Buyer's Guide, and read the FAQ section of the SR Wiki:

http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=Buyer%27s_Guide#Getting_Bitcoins

http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions#I_need_help_with_a_bitcoin_transaction_from_a_Silk_Road_vendor.

If an investigation finds that there is grounds for the vendor's removal, they will be removed.

Pretty much. I sent him a 500$ MP days ago. He cashed it and when I messaged him asking whats up with my coin he said he was sick and dealing with scammers at the moment.

The escrow system on silk road is not designed for BTC-exchange services, so there is no protection.

This is the last time I'm dealing with an SR vendor for BTC services.

bbbaac:

No you wouldn't. Redact that. Don't try and buy a vendors personal information. If BruceCambell got banned for playing with jenkem, you'll get banned for what you're doing as well. Don't be dumb. Take the $500 hit, it sucks, but it's part of the game. Be happy it was only $500 and not $5000 like what I lost to Mr. Buddha.

guess I got jacked too. fucking lame. So can anyone out there even confirm if they had a legit transaction with this guy? Can the mods confirm if he even sent out bitcoins to anyone or was his feedback all fake. I cant5 believe you can buy a vendors accout. That rule needs to be changed its compleate BS. I would have never bought from this guy if I even knew that was a possibility.

It's impossible for anyone to know. They could ban the advertising of accounts for sale.

Well the MP that I sent apparently still shows the same amount that I first put in, using the only method of balance checking that I know of which is choosing the option on the MP homepage to send funds to Paypal but not confirming the transaction...Can someone please confirm whether I can use this same MP for example on MoneypakTrader because it seemingly still retains its original balance?

If you've lost money best lick your wounds and go make some more.
