Not really interested in clicking on a blind link posted in a thread about a scam involving crypto transactions.

How about you post the substance if you want it viewed ?

I don’t know much about Crypto and if this guy’s KY Jelly is locked up and what that means, but is it 100% certain he has the money?

Because it would be terrible if he didn’t and he’s taken all of this abuse and hassle because another guy made an error.

Be careful in what you are doing

That was a really strange response to your link lol. Can't imagine any reason someone wouldn't want to click that. Especially when it was obvious what it was based on the URL, but even without that his response is still quite odd.

He's in New Zealand. It's worth calling the local police where he's at and at least reporting it. I'm guessing it would almost for sure be criminal for him to keep it if it was a bank transfer sent to his NZ bank account. Since you know the Exchange it was sent to, if a report was filed with police the exchange would probably cooperate with them and give the persons name if it's part of an investigation.

Feel free to click away on anything you like, especially on a public gambling forum but you do realize that the description provided for a link is not meaningful in a cybersecurity sense ? ...and in a thread about cybersecurity woes to boot.

I was interested in the described content, but unwilling to click on a link to view it.

My loss. I just prefer to read posted text in some cases.

Glad he finally came to his senses.

edit: Gzesh I fully understand your hesistancy to click a link btw, I think that's fine. Just like it's fine for me to just leave the link without elaborating.

Generally speaking we appreciate if people didn't just post links without any commentary. Shouldn't be too much to ask put a one or two liner about the contents of the link.

That said, someone who has been a member of the community for 15 years should certainly get the benefit of the doubt if they post a link that looks totally harmless.

I think if someone were maliciously posting a dodgy link, and added a description of what it supposedly is- it wouldn't help lol.
Glad to hear it's being sorted. Disappointing it came to this but big props to anyone who spread the message and tried help make things right. From my perspective I didn't want any harm to monkerguy just wanted the obvious right thing to be done. Good job to the community to spread awareness and no doubt help get this sorted

Will keep an eye on this issue.

this is 100% the situation

should get a mod to rename the thread to something more specific to this situation

Glad you don't take it personally.

The lost opportunity in this case was mine to bear

glad you got paid back, shame it had to come to that, as is with the crypto world (dont trust but verify)

Big lesson on sending a small test/ checking address properly before sending aswell

I have seen this all too often especially with poker players.
