Title: BTC Buddy Absolutely SCAMMER
Post by: Bundy on May 17, 2013, 05:44 pm
Usually I buy bitcoins from a reputable seller and never had a problem, I just send him a mp and he responds with the data for the transfer ... I live in sudamerica, so that the transfers by western union is my only option.

When btc buddy sent me the deposit data I realized that not yet bought his item, which would serve in case something went wrong. I know that was a stupid but I trusted the reputation and wanted him to be processed as quickly as possible.

I send the data to withdraw money and after 24 hours of delays he responded to one of my mp: (in the first messages he lingered less than 10 minutes to respond)
Bundy:            <hello. .. you did you get my deposit?
BTC Buddy :  < not yet buddy *(13 hours after)
Bundy:            < and when? :(    *(no response)
Bundy:            <**after a lot of mp from me
BTC Buddy :  <too many messages and i cant reply. (he takes me 30 hours to respond that)

  ... Now I'm sure, he cheated me with $ 400

if any moderator wants to check my pm's, I can give my login to my account for verification.
Thank you

Hi Bundy,

I have alerted administrators to this issue.

Please read the following from the SR Wiki:

Quote
Please note that, while there are many vendors offering to sell Bitcoins directly from this site, we are not set up to facilitate this and it is very easy to get scammed this way. Until we are set up for it, we recommend you get Bitcoins from a third-party exchange. If you do get scammed we will have no way to help you.

I need help with a bitcoin transaction from a Silk Road vendor.

Unfortunately we do not offer support for these kinds of transactions because we cannot hold your payment in escrow. If there is an issue, you'll have to work it out directly with your vendor.

As you can see above, Silk Recommends that you do NOT use Bitcoin exchangers operating on Silk Road to get your Bitcoin.

Very sorry you got scammed, but there is unfortunately nothing we can do in this instance. As I stated earlier, BTC Buddy has been reported up to the administrators, and hopefully they will be able to deal with the matter.

Thread locked as resolved.
