    Referral Scam

    Scammer's profile link: Won_gold o_0
    Explanation of the trade/How they scammed:
    • Canceled buy offer, referred me to his "friend" king from king4rs.com.
    • Told me that "king" would be adding me on skype.
    • (unknown to me) opened up a chat window @ king4rs.com, offered to sell my 340m, gave them a link to my sythe profile, told them to PM me
    • I receive a PM from a trusted representative of king4rs, but with the wrong price and wrong email info
    • Fake King Tjin (king4rs) adds me on skype (referred by won) and attempts to scam me, telling me that he PM'ed me on skype and pressuring me to trade him the gold
    • I add the real king on skype and confirm that the fake King Tjin (and by extension, won gold who directly referred me to the scammer and gave him all of my information) was trying to scam me

    Addendum: I don't know if this type of thing is bannable per se but I would like to see won_gold's customers at least warned somehow. won_gold never attempted to outright scam me, but the actual scammer began the conversation knowing two exact things that must have been relayed from won_gold:

    • that I was selling exactly 340m 07 GP for exactly 0.415 BTC
    • that I had requested a PM from a representative of King4Rs, which won_gold had promised would contact me via skype
    Let me know if you need any more proof/info.

    If you look at the skype he was talking to it was live:won_gold_gold, but Won_gold's skype on all of his threads are just won_gold_gold. Furthermore, googling live:won_gold_gold pulls up a report from 2014 that was closed as it was an impostor.
