Title: Someone spent $120,000 on a credit card¿
Post by: sharonneedles on May 26, 2013, 11:47 pm
Does anyone know what exactly this is and why anyone would spend so much money on it?

This listing is for people who have BTC and want USD loaded to their debit card/s with Moneypaks or Reloadits.
If you use this method, you'll get 2% additional profit instead of the posted profit rate (currently 5%) on my website: moneypaktrader.com

Step One:
a) Get and activate a loadable card: www.moneypak.com/WhoAccepts.aspx and/or
www.reloadit.com/card_partners.aspx
b) Install TorChat (unzip, run) and take note of your TorChat ID (16 character/number string that identifies your TC client)
c) Message me on TC telling me you want MAXIMUM PROFIT Loads (right click in box, add contact, right click contact, message) - km6zzhrcgncpq7i2

Step Two:
a) goto https://moneypaktrader.com/index.php?m=account and create an account with your TorChat Username. So, my MPT username would be km6zzhrcgncpq7i2
b) deposit BTC to your MPT account and enter the information for your debit cards (order debit loading)
c) Look at that order and message in the order with the name of the card and the type/s of load it accepts (i.e. "This Account Now Gold Card takes both Moneypak and ReLoadit").

Step Three:
a) Message me on TC if you want to discuss anything.
Receive $$$ to your card over the next couple days/weeks depending on your load settings and amount deposited. Please don't load your card from other sources during this time or you might exceed the load limit. If anyone asks, you loaded the funds.
Each load will pay out USD plus a profit over the market rate.
Currently 7% profit over exchange rate for accounts with your TCID as the Username.

Funds are held in BTC and rate is calculated at time of each load using the calculator on my site multiplied by 102%.

You may get a BTC refund if you get tired of receiving USD. BTC will be returned proportional to what amount has been loaded as indicated in your account balance.

Probably a scam but people like vendors who are paid in BTC or miners that mine BTC, need to convert their coin to USD.

The most likely reason for the above is that the vendor in question doesn't want people to buy it until they've messaged him first, so he changes the price on the listing to prevent people from doing so.

They change the price so people don't order and they don't have to remove the listing. 

It's not rocket science guys.

And I believe this is because when a listing is removed, the anonymous reviews specific to that item are also removed (not from their vendor page, but from that specific item's page).

You can change the quantity to 0 and the listing won't show up but will conserve all feedback.

Us vendors have a button to put the item in stealth mode (meaning we don't remove it, but no one can see it) - the guys doing this are morons.

They want people to see it but don't want anyone to buy it...  The person in question wants you to message them on torchat first.  Other people I see all the time want their listing to remain visible while they're restocking or remain visible so you can see what the feedback is for.

I don't know why people do this. You can just change the quantity the 0 and the listing disappears.
I think it may be because if a listing is removed, the feedback goes as well.

When you put the quantity at 0 no one can see the listing except the vendor.  Also, when you click "item" next to a feedback comment for an item that has a quantity of 0, you still can't view it.  It will say "item not listed.
