5. Story: ''Game'' created a ticket asking me if he could buy 1-2B. Since he just got ''scammed'' (part of his scam to create empathy somehow), he wanted to trade lower amounts to check out if I was legit. The only restriction he had was that I had to use an account on blockchain.com since the transactions would be insta (just like coinbase). Somehow it didn't feel right so I started searching on google about ''blockchain deposit scams''. Of course, nothing popped up. I even pmed some friends if they were known with crypto scams on blockchain. I didn't get a respond in time unfortunately, otherwise all this would be prevented.

Anyways: the transactions were very fast and instant. The balance kept on creditting each time he said he was sending the crypto. Now some of you guys may say: why didn't you wait on confirmations? Yes, I know about this but since it's an internal transaction on blockchain, I was new to Blockchain + my BALANCE got credited I didn't even think about checking confirmations. I was expecting a balance only to credit if transactions are definitive just like Coinbase. (Why would you have a balance while it's not even in your account?)

This guy was ''double spending'' his bitcoin (still no idea how this works) which means the bitcoin will return to his own wallet after sending.

I got scammed for a total of 1.7B. Apparently this guy is a full time scammer since 2012 and goes by alot of different names. Apparently some big names on Sythe know this guy and tried to talk with him.

 

Unfortunately Chris is a well known scammer. There are countless reports on Sythe. I recommend you use the search tool on the top right before trading in the future.

I'm truly sorry for your loss. If you haven't yet familiarized yourself with basic Discord & Sythe trading practices, I recommend you read carefully the following guides:

1. ⭐️ How to Identify & Avoid Being Scammed on Discord [Guide] ⭐️
2. A warning to all Discord traders
3. Trading 101 - Vouches, donor status and how you can stay safe!

Furthermore, ALWAYS request a Sythe PM confirmation and verify all parties involved info before proceeding with any trades (I can't stress this enough).

Best,
