Explanation of the trade: $53 btc for £40.85 ukbt

How they scammed: i sent my bank details, 2 hours later the money hadnt gone in so i checked were he sent it and there was an extra 0 in his screenshot, i had originally edited the post because i left my name out and he's claiming i edited the number so not sure were this is going but he has apparently called the bank who told him to call tomorrow and his online banking is down now so leaving this here just incase
Proof that it's their Discord: MrNastyDJ

Nothing is adding up, He told me last night his bank was down and sent a screenshot but i checked the service status of his bank and it said it was up and running. Then told me the bank said i had to wait till morning, Now he's offline hasnt been on today and its now 2pm

EDIT : Hasnt shown as online all morning but the second i posted this scam report he shown online from mobile and has now gone back offline

 

So everything the user states is correct and true.

I understand the users concern at this point and have been responding to him every step of the way. I have also advised him of the current situation. He had given me a sort code and account number to pay the money into. I sent the money to the sort code and account number he gave by copy and pasting the details as I always do to avoid any errors. He then came back to me a while later saying the money had not gone into his account. I advised I would get this looked at right away at which point I noticed he had edited the sort code and account number post. I thought it was at this point a scam on my self, trying to get me to pay twice.

My actions since have been to call my bank to check if the payment that I did send has gone through. They let me know I have to wait until today, maybe a total of 24 hours to check if the first payment had indeed gone though and been successful or not. Also as the OP states, my bank was down. I also have screenshot proof of this if any mod would like.

Having just woke up in the last 20 minutes I have already been in contact with the OP again, once more keeping him up to date. I will call my bank now, once again, to see if they have an update for me and then update the OP on discord.

What I suspect has happened is that the OP posted the wrong Sort Code and account number (as I saw the name as soon as it was posted that he says he had to change and it hasn't changed) and is just worried he wont get his money.

Calling the bank now for an update.

Hello and good afternoon from the UK! My first scam report! Must be moving up in the world So everything the user states is correct and true.

No you used that as an excuse once i questioned it, The name was supposed to be in with the acc number and sort code but i didnt add it in hense the edit.

Last night he sent me screenshots of his bank being down apparently for 3 hours yet when i checked the website status page of his bank it said all services were running as normal, If it was down fair enough but obviously a red flag, Then sends me a screenshot this morning saying the bank goes down for 40 minutes at night which would explain why he avoided the question when i questioned why the service status page said it was up.

Here he says i need to wait till morning which i did and didnt post this report till nearly 2pm mine and his time which was another red flag and let me just confirm i did not get a response from him this morning until right after this scam report was posted.

Still waiting for the update, as i said scam or not i had no option to post this until resolved

EDIT : As expected he's now come back to delay it even further, I fully expect i lost my money as its clear he is now scamming

EDIT : Another update to this, User asked me to delete my posts and said once i did he would send the payment as seen here :

I did this and then he stopped replying to me, Eventually he replied with another excuse as to not send my money

I assume he wanted me to delete the posts so he could try and scam someone else before he is banned. i wont be editing them again until this is resolved now

Its clear he saw i edited the name and took advantage of this, Several times he's said he would send the payment then made excuses, He told me the bank said the payment would bounce back by morning, Then it was 24 hours, Now its changed to Monday cause they close at 8pm. What this user doesn't realise is when you send to a fake bank account in the UK it bounces back within 3-5 days, This is standard on all UK accounts and im sure anyone from the UK can verify that so the fact he has claimed 3 different things all completely wrong tells me he hasnt contacted the bank and this was an elaborate scam.

Hopefully he doesnt scam anyone else why this is active but lets wait for 8pm to see his next excuse...

So I've looked at the account number and sort code of the payment sent and the one you wrote to him on Discord (with the edit), the sort code is the same and the account number is virtually identical, except the last couple digits.

Either @Synther made an error and later edited the message to correct the account number or @MrNastyDJ made an error and typed in the incorrect account number when the payment was sent. I don't think there's malicious intentions from either, just a mistake.

We'll wait until the payment bounces back and @MrNastyDJ will send you the payment then

Appreciate the reply. Hopefully it wasnt malicious intentions and it does get resolved. Happy to wait for the payment it was just the sequence of events/excuses after and the way the user dealt with it which made me believe it was a scam and left me no choice but to post this here so others weren't affected.

I will update when/if resolved thanks

 

Thank you for understanding. As I have proven a payment has been sent already and your post was edited, it looks very dodgy from my end too.

As soon as my bank confirms the payment has been returned or it has gone into the account details sent to, I will let you know.

Yes its still not ideal though and proof of sending a payment to an account that doesnt exist knowing it will ultimately bounce back doesn't put me at ease, its just unfortunate that i edited the name rather than posting it after or it would of been a completely different story. I accept it was a mistake which left me open to a scam and thats why im happy to wait the outcome though i don't hold much hope.

@MrNastyDJ
Can you show me when the message was edited by @Synther from your conversations and when you sent the payment exactly, time stamps for both

 

I would like to update the thread to show the user clearly lying regarding when he edited his "name" and not the "account number". Also for public knowledge and those of you reading this, proof has been sent to mods of my payment being made right after the user gave me his original details that have clearly been edited way after I sent the payment. I have also called my bank again and no funds that I sent have yet been returned.

@Synther claimed he edited the message to include his name "Jack" for the bank payment. The bank payment which was sent minutes after, already had the the name "Jack" on it - which is a lie. Shown here:
(full bank account no, sort code are in deleted post above)

Also if you notice this message, @Synther edited the message 4 hours later, despite saying he edited the message immediately to include his name, here: Screenshot - 34deb7a3a9069e3711e5115330ff7dd3 - Gyazo. Contradicting himself. MrNastyDJ sent the payment to Jack minutes after it was posted, this would have been impossible if the name didn't already exist in the message, meaning the only thing that was edited was the account number.

This was a setup by @Synther to have @MrNastyDJ send a second payment claiming that the first one didn't go through/the account details weren't correct. @Synther also has sent MrNastyDJ private messages to remove the accusations from his threads/this report if he sends a second payment.

@Synther has been banned for attempting to scam/setup MrNastyDJ. He's also refused to post from his home IP despite me giving him a chance to
