Title: Potential scam! Vendor: Gar, Listing: (BTC Clearance)
Post by: grahamgreene on July 29, 2012, 12:00 am
Hi all,

I generally take 'scam' threads with a pinch of salt and have never felt the need to make one before, but this is ridiculous.
Vendor: Gar

Moneypack or Western union accepted


BTC Remaining

[204.39]

Hurry guys!

Just wanted to ask people to note that the above vendor has been a member for only 5 days, has NO previous sales and NO feedback. He/she is offering to "sell off" their Bitcoin at 20% below the current rate (204.39 BTC for $1500 Western Union or Moneypak), and it is my opinion that this is a complete scam, for obvious reasons. People may suggest "it could be a vendor cashing out", but although that isn't impossible it's incredibly implausible.

I would recommend new and therefore perhaps more gullible users to steer well away from this. It screams scam.

Kind regards,

Hey THUMBSuP,

I don't have time at the moment to trawl through topics and posts looking (a search before I posted this thread turned up nothing on the username) so could you post a link here for others to verify this?

Thanks,

Thanks THUMBSuP. As that poster only has 1 post, and only registered last night seemingly to post that, I'd recommend that all users remain cautious. As dzlrv suggests on the thread above, it could well be a shill account. A clever scammer would introduce doubt, then make it look as though the reason for those doubts was unfounded. Very dodgy situation, though that is simply my personal opinion on the matter.

I agree with graham, this guy is scam, only reason to give such a discount is bait.
