Scammed $400 BTC By Mandarin (UID 955481) - MoneyTalks - Nov 2, 2017
Hi everyone.
Yesterday I posted a thread on Buyers Bay asking for "Leads&DB's".
Link to thread: Buying Leads&DB's
Scammer HF Profile: https://hackforums.net/member.php?action=profile&uid=955481
Right away Mandarin which is a reputable Uber, messaged me and offered to sell me up to 1m leads and gave me his contact details.
I replied that im indeed interested in buying the leads he has to offer and asked for a price, he replied with an approximated price and we continued to skype.
I then agreed to the price and we closed a deal, $400 for 500k leads. he said that he will send the files in 2 hours, I sent the money and he never replied again, vanished into thin air with $400 BTC.
I trusted this guy based on his 164 positive Uber reputation,without a single negative rep.

Then I added Mandarin on skype and we continued the conversation over there.

Thank you.
A lot of money lost because I trusted the Uber's clean and "impressive" reputation.

reputable cause of a 164 rep or cause of his "black hat hacker usertitle" ?

First of all thank you for taking the time and reading this.
I hope Mandarin mans up and takes responsibility for his words and actions. How people risk their reputation and Uber for $400?
I'm realistic, most chances the money is gone and will not come back. At least i can warn others and prevent the next scam by Mandarin.
Cheers mate, thank you.

Do not trust someone just because he have reputations or vouches or awards or anything else.

Reputation is the only thing i cared about. If he gets the leads by "black hat hacking" or any other way is the same for me.
The title can say whatever, if a user has bad reputation thats a warning sign, clean reputation insures confident in users like myself. Obviously false confidence.

I guess my approach is too Naive. I didn't think one will risk his HF account of 6 years with all positive reputation just for $400.
Obviously I was wrong.

So I'm the problem?
Bringing new money into HF is not a problem, at least from my point of view.
Taking care of scammers and making sure they won't have a way of scamming the next person is the solution in my perspective.

You would still have $400 if you would've used middleman
