    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Other] Any other fraudulent behavior
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561199191587988

    Victim profile: 76561198103833357

    What happened? Description:
    The scammer first reached out to me on a Reddit question post I made in the subreddit r/GlobalOffensiveTrade. They offered to help me buy a bayonet doppler sapphire through a third-party skin marketplace like "buff" but they had me go first. They wanted me to trade my navaja doppler sapphire and send some bitcoin in exchange for the price of the bayonet doppler sapphire. I decided to trust this scammer and went first and sent my navaja doppler sapphire. After I sent it, I realized I had been scammed and wanted it back but the scammer refused to trade it back to me. They walked me through setting up a bitcoin wallet and was under the impression that I was still going to send them bitcoin but I instead tried to get my navaja doppler sapphire back but they never gave it back. They gave the excuse that they had sold it to a buyer in order to help me get money to buy the bayonet doppler sapphire for me. I accused them in our Reddit DM chat and they never gave my navaja doppler sapphire back. I meant to report this scam sooner but I was afraid and did not have access to my Reddit account on a PC computer at the time so I could not take bigger screenshots. But now that I have access to a PC computer to log into my Reddit account, I am able to take screenshots of our chat logs. I also copy and pasted our chat log to guide in the report's review process. You can see that one of their posts was taken down by moderators in the r/GlobalOffensiveTrade subreddit.

    Sadly it is required for kycfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Hi, thank you for your message. I have been out of the trading and csgo skin scene for a couple years. Can you please explain what that means?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Its just something sites implemented because of laws involving gambling and taxes and commercial use
    Your best bet is to pay a private buyer and ask them to purchase something you want and you pay them to do that service for you
    It isnt super common but people do that stuff for some commissionfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Ah I see, so all the whitelisted sites have kyc in place?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Yeah all of them its a required process even for most gambling sites that are steam basedfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    And that includes bitcoin deposits too?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Well to even have a crypto wallet you go through kyc
    You should just find a buyer that buys and give him commission if your looking to buy something idk if that helpsfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    I see. Is there a guide on the subreddit that tells how that all works?
    And to be honest, I kind of find it hard to trust that method since what if I go first and pay the buyer and then they just block me like a middleman scheme?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Well scammers are easy to point out they either say they have comments to prove there trust worthy or they just make some random stuff up
    Your best bet is to find trustworthy buyers in csgo rep forum because in order to get rep there its all verified with proof if trades so those are the only legit buyers
    Most well known traders have threads there
    You can find people on steam-reputation.com and try to find people with over 25 repsfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Does that make any sensefrostythetrader Snoovatar
    That makes sense, I'll check it out, thanks.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Jun 3
    Okay if you want I can help you outfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    I am messaging with antonl99, he has a rep of 29, would you say he is legit and safe?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Can you link his steam
    Also here’s my rep thread
    https://steam-reputation.com/profile/76561199191587988
    I have more rep than him and am willing to help
    Its just I haven’t really heard of Anton so yeah.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    https://steamcommunity.com/id/antonbeast/
    He posts his 'store' a lot in the global offensive trade subreddit
    And I appreciate it, what do you think?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Im not sure he seems like a buyer and seller not sure he would do what your looking for
    What are you trying to buy?frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Bayonet sapphire, I am offering him my navaja sapphire and cash but I won't have the cash until next Friday so he is willing to hold onto the knife for me for 8 days if I give him the navaja as reassurance.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Idk if you should trust that, giving them a knife for 8 days. He can technically say whatever they want after he has the knife
    Also how will you be paying the cash, crypto?
    If you want I can just take the navaja and buy you the bayonet sapphire today and since your getting your money in a week and all items are trade locked for a week the timing will line up pretty well
    So in a week I will send you the bayo and you can just give me the cash but it depends how much and what payment methodfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    I see. And depositing and buying on csgofloat, if that doesn't work then I'll use cryptob1ast0ise Snoovatar
    What? I thought you where finding buyers to do that cause all the sites require kycfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    I'm not sure since Jambozx seems to have said that it's only required for sellers?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Im pretty sure that’s not true its for both buyers and sellersfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Honestly I may just wait until I do have the funds and if it's still there then I can just do it all at the same time without having to send my navaja as reassurance you know?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Sure you can do that I just thought you wanted to use the navaja as part of the paymentfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    And if it's not there anymore, I will could just look for another bayonet sapphire somewhere else.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    There should be sapphires on buff there essentially every skin you could search for on bufffrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Ah, I guess we should ask csgofloat support to confirm since there is conflicting information.
    And I do want to use the navaja as part of the payment, but after thinking about what you said, I feel a little better about just waiting it out until I can do the entire payment at the same time.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Okay
    Just saying If you want to do it today, I will buy the sapphire today, like it will be in my inventory so you know I bought it. All you have to do is find which one you want out of all the marketplaces. buff float deals money all those sites.
    But yeahfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Oh wow, I appreciate that, could I just contact you around next Friday when I have the funds?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Yeah thats fine, how will you pay the funds, what payment method?
    I prefer crypto since its the safestfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Great, appreciate your help. Crypto should work, I was thinking of bitcoin, I need to set up a wallet, I was thinking of Coinbase?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Yup, coinbase is a great option although you do need to enter some personal info so considering what you said before I'm not sure if your able to do thatfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    How long does it take to verify and what kind of info?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I dont remeber because I set up my coinbase a long time ago but I believe just your first and last name and id.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Oh okay, and you said you recommend looking at buff?
    Since they have the biggest variety?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Well to find which sapphire you want
    yeahfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Honestly, I am just looking for something with at least 0.01 float or less and is the cheapest.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    The cheapest one is 25400 rmb and its a .069 float
    Let me try to find the cheapest .01 float
    26000 rmb for a .01 floatfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Thanks, and what is the conversion rate for rmb?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    3,903.73 USDfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Oh wow okay. How much lower could it be if I added my navaja sapphire?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I'll have a look at the cash price of your navaja and let you know give me a minute.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Okayb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    The cheapest .01 navaja saphire on buff is 2150 rmb which is 322.81 USD
    So the price of the bayo sapphire - your knife = 3580.92 USDfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Oh I see, what is your steam?
    I am on mobile and can't see the full linkb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    A lot of the stuff I own is on buff so its a bit empty but heres my steam


    Steamcommunity
    https://steamcommunity.com/id/frostycstrading/

    Steam Community :: Frosty
    steamcommunity.com
    Do you also have discord?frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I just added you and yes I dob1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Alright we can also add eachother on discord just so we have multiple forms of communication
    frosty#8658frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Sureb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    So, I guess the first thing you should get setup is coinbasefrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Gotcha, yeah I'll look into that when I have more time later today
    Out of curiosity, what is your rank in MM?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I don't play cs I only trade/buy/sell so I'm unranked. When I did play cs the best rank I reached was gold nova 1
    You?
    Also it wasn't on this account it was back in 2014 I don't game anymore what so everfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Oh gotcha, I am currently Silver 3 but back in the day I was around Gold Nova Master - MG1 but that was a long time ago.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Interesting
    Also are you from Japan?frostythetrader Snoovatar
    No I just like to have it there. Are you from Germany?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    That’s where I was born but i dont live there anymorefrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Oh I see, I am also wondering, since there will be a 7 day trade ban for the bayonet sapphire, would I need to trade you my navaja sapphire before you buy the bayonet from buff or are you okay with buying it first and then waiting until I get my coinbase set up, etc. and then having me send the bitcoin first and doing the navaja for bayonet trade right after?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Well I would first need all of the payments your giving me because as I showed you I have rep and that’s how I will be buying the knife
    It would honestly be easier for me to receive your navaja first so I can use it as part of the payment which will then line everything else up with you getting your money in 8 daysfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Im not sure im trying to think of the easiest and fastest way for me to do thisfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Oh so it would be easiest if I sent you my navaja, then you could buy the bayonet sapphire earlier in advance before I get my funds in 8 days?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Hmm im not sure because I usually dont buy anything before I recieve all funds just so I know the person im dealing with wont back out of the deal last minute
    I think that might be the best however I may be able withdraw the bayonet instead of to my steam, to your steam so that eliminates further wait when I get the cryptofrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Gotcha, so if I am understanding this right, it seems it would be best if I waited until I got my funds and bitcoin set up, send you the navaja and the bitcoin, and then you'd buy the bayonet, we'd have to wait 7 more days and then you'd send the bayonet to me?
    Oh, how would that work?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Well if there’s a way once I have the funds I can try to withdraw to your steam instead of mine
    So we dont have to wait another week
    It would be best however if I recieve the navaja now so I can use it as part of the payment next weekfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Oh like having buff send the bayonet to my trade link?
    And would you have to sell the navaja through buff on your end as part of the payment?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Yes that would be the easiest
    *selling on my partfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    I am just wondering how do you know you will sell the navaja in time and for the right price?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I can just list it for the buy order price
    Or the lowest price which is what I gave youfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    I see. I was just thinking of another way, I am not sure if people do this often or if you would be willing to. But what if I just overpaid you in items from the steam marketplace that you told me to buy, and then you could just buy the bayonet sapphire after I buy all the items you request. It also depends on how much I would be overpaying and what the final costs would be, but I just feel like doing a trade in one go is better. No offense to you, you are really nice, but I just still don't feel the most comfortable going first and sending that amount even though I don't have any rep. If csgo keys were still tradable, I would just buy the keys and trade that way but unfortunately that doesn't exist anymore.. What do you think and how much would I be expecting to overpay by in items?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Im not sure because if were talking about buying individual items, it would have to be liquid and buying stuff on steam has 15% tax so everything you would buy would keep stacking that 15% lost and you’d loose a horrendous amount to fees
    If you want you could just send the navaja and half the crypto and with that I’ll use my own money to buy the sapphire and you pay the rest
    Im not really surefrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Oh I forgot about those taxes
    Pay you the other half after you buy the bayonet and it is in your steam inventory and then you would send it to me?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Im not really sure
    The best way would be like I said send the navaja so I can instant sell it in a week and then have your cash ready at the same time and buy it and have it delivered to you instead of mefrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Hm, can you check and verify if it can be delivered to me? I just don't know if buff doesn't allow that or not?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I would have to find a buyer to do that with
    Most likely unless you know if buff allows that?frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Hm, I wouldn't mind trying to test it with you with a small item if you can't find a buyer, but that would probably have to wait until I get bitcoin.
    And I have no clueb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Also whats the issue with sending the navaja today so I can use it as part of the payment next weekfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    And just to confirm, your account is all verified and did the kyc process for buff?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Yes ive already dont kyc for most marketplaces
    Done*frostythetrader Snoovatar
    To be honest I'm just still naturally cautious about doing all this, nothing having to do with you. It's just that even though I clearly see your cash rep, etc., I still don't know you. And I know that goes both ways, but I just still want to be careful.
    Would you happen to know anyone who might know the answer about if we can have you buy on buff while it gets delivered to me on steam?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Yeah im asking atmfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Also I don't think you mentioned, but what is your commission for doing this?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I mean its your first time and probably only since it seems your buying a play knife.
    Honestly 2% is fine to mefrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Yeah I'm not a trader, it's my dream knife and play knife.
    Will that 2% be factored in before you would have me send you the navaja?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    No you can just pay that in total im not sure I understand what you meanfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    What I am asking is what are you charging to do all this for me? As in commission for helping me do this?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    2%frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Okay, so how much would that be? Or is that already included in the price you mentioned earlier above?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Yup the price mentioned before
    That's 71 but that seems a lot for this being the only time your doing this
    If your cool with 25 we can just do that I don't mind.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    25 USD? Thank you, can you send an updated cost?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    3605.92frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Okay so that is how much I would be paying you in bitcoin?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    That amount because that amount is the fee + we already deducted the navaa
    navaja*frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Okay so 3605.92 in BTC + Navaja for the bayonet sapphire with float 0.01. Are you sure the price will stay the same in 8 days?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Yeah cs prices aren't really changing I'm sure it will maintain but if there are any changes it will go up in price because the crypto crash is bringing a lot of activity to csfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    So after I send you the navaja, if the bayonet goes up in price, will you still charge me 3605.92 or a higher price?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    The same price because trust me it won't go up and if it does by a significant amount I'll let you know but I'm 99 percent sure it wont changefrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Okay then, if you can sell the navaja for higher than the current buy order, that would help if things happened to go up in price.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Yup I can try if you wantfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    If I see it goes higher for sure I'll do that but I'm certain itll be stablefrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Okay, also what is the best time for me to message you and in what time zone should I refer to?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Eastern - It's 9:20 PM for me right nowfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Oh okay, I'm 3 hours behind in Pacificb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Alright
    So do you want me to recieve the navaja so it can be sold when you get the rest of your moneyfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    What do you recommend?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I mean thats what would be easiest and best so that everythings ready next weekfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Oh right you mean for today because of the 7 day trade ban, okay. Sending it now.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Alright sounds goodfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Sent.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Alright I got it.
    We have eachother added on steam and discord and here so we can chat whenever.
    So now we just wait until next Friday I believe is when you said you get your check
    What you should get to asap is your coinbase account and see how that goes.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Okay . Yeah it should be Friday, I do have work all day that day so I may not be able to complete the transaction until at night after work.
    Okay will do.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Sounds good, do let me know how it goes with your coinbase and as long as your over 18 you should be good.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Sure, and let me know if you find out about buff and if they would allow delivering items to my steam inventory or trade link.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Will do.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Jun 4
    Hey, just checking in with you about coinbase and how the setups goingfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Hey! Sorry for long message: So I set up my account but my daily deposit limits would require me to buy the bitcoin on 2 separate days because the total amount I need to buy is more than what I am allowed to buy in one day. And on top of that, they make you wait another 11 days before you can send the purchased bitcoin to another address. Since I get paid next Friday, I won't be able to be done buying all the bitcoin until that next day Saturday. Then we will have to wait another 11 days after that unless I sent you some bitcoin 1 day before that 11th day.

    Since it's going to take a while, can you first send the navaja back to me next Friday? And for all the trouble you are going through to help me out with all this, I am willing to pay you fully in bitcoin so you don't need to worry about paying your own money for the bayonet and so we don't have to worry about selling the navaja. I will buy a little extra bitcoin so I will have enough to cover the entire cost of the bayonet you buy from buff and any other fees and commission, so there's no need to sell an item as part of the payment. So all that would need to be done is for me to send you my bitcoin after you send me back the navaja first, then you can buy the bayonet with the bitcoin and hopefully buff can send the bayonet to me without us having to wait another 7 days.

    Does that work with you? And can you send me the trade offer once the navaja is available to be traded next Friday June 10th so that I can just send the bitcoin right away once the funds are available to be sent to your address?

    And did you ever find out about buff letting us deliver to my inventory?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    To start yes the delivery is good and there’s nothing to worry about I’m able to get it delivered to you.
    Back to coinbase, when I buy with coinbase, the crypto I bought is instantly tradeable so I’m not so sure of where you read about delay
    Unless your dealing with bank deposits yeah that’s not instant
    But yes I also have a daily deposit limit for my coinbase so I can see that as being part of the issue.
    So yeah we have some issues we have to sort of so that we have a clean plan to follow.
    So first question, does your bank limit your deposits or are you talking about coinbase limits.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    The Coinbase daily limit
    And are you good with sending the navaja back to me next Friday?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Well I still want to asses the situation and see what’s best because I already went ahead and found someone that wants to buy it for the desired price and I don’t want to turn my back on him and say I’m not interested anymore.
    So let’s first figure some stuff out, are you frosting with credit card, bank, debit or wire
    Or how do you plan on adding money to your crypto walletfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    But I said I will just pay in full bitcoin? I don't see what the problem is with you just sending it back to me?
    And bank depositb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    That’s not the problem, the problem is having been told what I was yesterday I already agreed to sell this for the price we talked about and they were waiting to buy it next Friday.
    I’m not really sure what to do because your doing bank deposit which will take a long time as you saidfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Can you just call it off? The navaja isn't tradable until next Friday anyways?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I mean I’d hate to call it off that’s why I have my rep because I stick true to my word. I’m not sure why your really worried about the navaja is everything okay?
    Also although crypto is preferred there’s other things we can dofrostythetrader Snoovatar
    The best plan would first be for you to cancel the sale with the buyer and then send the navaja back. Then we just wait until I have all the funds ready. I mean there's credit card deposit too but I'm not sure if that is faster?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    That don’t involve coinbase
    I don’t know about credit card, I just know that debit card is instantfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Is there something binding you to not being able to cancel the sale? Would you have to contact buff or something like that?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    But they all have limits and the payment options that have better deposit limits take longer
    No it’s nothing to do with buff that’s not it but when I have people contact me wanting to buy a knife and I agree to sell it to them for a price, with my reputation crossing their word is something I hate and never do.
    It’s nothing with bufffrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Ohh right debit card, that's an option too.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Yeah but the limit is low, atleast for me it’s only 1k
    Listen just relax I’m gonna take a look at other options that don’t involve crypto so it’s easier let me look at some things.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I am, but you are good to send the navaja back next Friday? I could message with the person too if that would help? I don't understand why they wouldn't be okay with finding another navaja elsewhere?
    I can just pay you in crypto or whatever cash would be the easiest, I just don't want to do the item trade anymore which is why it would best if you just sent the navaja back. Does that make sense?
    And maybe I need to reach out to coinbase to see if there are faster options they offer, since I tried raising my limits but they didn't raise them for me.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Yes that makes sense but I wish you told me earlier because of the reasons I just stated before. I can’t just take back what I already agreed on I have rep for a reason. I can tell by your tone your not going to be happy with this but I can’t just say no to him after we agreed. If I knew about this I would of 100% not agreed to sell it to him
    Coinbase won’t increase limits unless you have spent a lot of money and done multiple transactions. I’ve had my limits increased but hardly.
    I’m trying to find a non crypto way
    Just hold on, I’m trying to find solutionsfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Listen, I am sorry for changing it after I already sent you it, but can you please send it back next Friday? And it's not like that person paid you for the navaja already right?
    The navaja and the bayonet are both play skins to me.
    Could I give you feedback for helping me out and write that you gave me back the navaja once you send the offer to help with your rating? You shouldn't have to lose rep for doing this, you are just helping a guy out and I appreciate all your help, I just want the navaja back before I decide to buy the bayonet from you.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    If it matters that much to you I'll buy another one with a similar float next week from buff with the crypto and have it delivered to you, but canceling deals is not what I practice and something I do. I'm letting you know that's something I can't do, I agreed and the circumstances are just unfortunate.
    If you would of told me about this yesterday sending it back would of been just fine.
    Your entitled to leave rep if you want but its up to you and after the deal finishes ofcourse.
    This being said, you will have both knifes next week once I find a reasonably prices navaja that you are interested in.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I am not understanding, so if I told you yesterday after I traded you, you would agree? You are not making much sense to me right now, what is holding you back?
    agree with sending it back?*
    What are the circumstances?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I told you, I can't just cancel a deal with someone I agreed with, I don't know why you aren't understanding that we made an agreement and he is buying the knife. Imagine you where to send me the bitcoin, I cancel the deal and tell you I'm not interested and send the bitcoin back, now you have all this false hope and bitcoin lying around.
    Are you not okay with me buying one next week and having it delivered to you?
    What I was saying is if you didn't want me selling the knife yesterday, I wouldn't of agreed to the guy thats buying it.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I get that, but nothing was lost between you and the person interested in the navaja. And aren't you selling it on buff, the navaja sapphire is not that rare, there are for sure more navaja sapphires out there to choose from?
    And no I am not okay with you buying a new one when you can just send me the current one you have, I don't see the what's wrong?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Yes buff because after all, that's where all the money will be so I can buy the items, but he contacted me wanting to buy it and I agreed.
    Please try to re-read what I said I am reading it back myself and it makes sense to me. Its just something I can't do because of my reputation and the practices I've been following. We made a deal, I can't back out of it thats just it plain and simple I don't know what else to say.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Why can't you say no, is he going to leave you bad rep or something just for deciding not to sell it? Did that person already buy the funds or something to buy the navaja?
    What is their steam? Can I just talk to them?
    How can that person affect you if you just decided that you don't want to sell the navaja to them. It's not tradable for another 5-6 days right?
    Listen, just send the offer next Friday and then we can move on, I really want to buy the bayonet from you, I just want my navaja back too. What can I do to help that guy understand where we're coming from(
    ?*b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    There’s nothing you can do, I’m the one dealing with him I can’t just do that and explained please listen to what I said. Not that I care about bad rep if it’s deserved but I just feel like I’m repeating myself. You should know why.
    I promise I will buy another navaja back for you
    Or just deduct my fee from what is owed because I understand your frustrationfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    I am listening, but what will you make send my navaja back to me next Friday? You should just honor that for helping me out. Do you understand me?
    No need to deduct because as I said earlier, I will pay you fully in bitcoin once I get the funds and we figure this out.
    And there's no need to leave you bad rep since you'll be able to send me the navaja back next Friday once it's available?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I understand you perfectly but I don't think you understand me. I am telling you I can't stop the deal from occuring. If the buyer decides great I'm not interested then I'll let you know and you'll get it back on Friday. If he doesn't I can't do anything but sell it to him and I hope you understand why, I explained it.
    I'
    I'm not talking about you giving me bad rep I'm talking about the other person. I'm not worried about our situation because If you listen it will go as planned.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    What is stopping you from stopping the deal?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I told you.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    What can I do to help them understand? I would understand if he already paid you, but he didn't right?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    He hasn't personally sent me anything but he did do something out of his way already. Not only would I feel terrible for doing that to him, but because of the reasons mentioned before I simply can't.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Can you explain what was out of his way?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Similar to you, but not really. He wire transferred money into wechat.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    If I was that person interested in buying from you, I would understand and just find another navaja, since you are really great at communicating and fast at responding.
    Let them know right away to cancel that transfer. If it already went to you, you can just send it back right?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I haven't talked to him, hes not wire transfering to me, hes wire transfering to add money to we chat.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Hey I have to go for a bit, but let me know if you find any other options to do this deal if bitcoin doesn't work with you. And please explain our situation to him.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Hes from China thats one of the only ways to deposit money on buff. Adding money to wechat and then adding that to buff.
    I will, but please understand what I have said previously. I'm trying my best and also looking for other things that don't involve crypto because of the tedious limits.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I'm also heading out now but will keep in touch.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I see. But I just thought of this, since you seem to be unable to back out of your arrangement, what if you just buy me a new navaja sapphire from buff with the amount you sell it for, wait the 7 days and then send it to me? And then we can proceed with the rest of the transaction?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Well what I suggested was easier and faster which was me buying everything on Friday and sending you both items.
    Because since it’s already being bought for the price we mentioned previously that’s part of the money that will be used since it will already be on buff along with the rest of the crypto so then I can just buy both items. The crypto however will need to increase since I will be buying not just the bayo but also another navaja so realistically your paying in full crypto for the knife.
    And I already told you I can have the buyer deliver it to you so everything can be instant.
    So next Friday when the crypto is sorted out I will buy both the navaja and bayonet and have them delivered to you.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I’m still figuring out some stuff excuse the long messages.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Gotcha, I would appreciate getting the navaja back first before I pay for the bayonet too when everything is tradeable? And what are you trying to figure out? Need any help on my end?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    No help needed I’ll keep you informed. So your asking for a navaja back before we do anything? That doesn’t make sense because we’re then back at where we started
    I told you I’d just buy you the navaja if you really want it. Why is there suddenly a urge to have everything returned. Is there something wrong? Do you not trust me? I informed you that I would buy both and have them deliveredfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    I mean once I have the funds ready, and both knives are tradeable, are you willing to go first and send me the navaja?
    And I trust you, which you can already tell from how I already sent you the navaja. I simply just want a navaja sapphire back if it can't be the one I gave you. I already went first, why can't you go first this time?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I have cash rep, I don’t go first unless it’s another known trader with rep or someone I know personally. Although we’ve talked for a while you don’t have rep, nor do I know you on a personal level
    To be clear you wanted me to buy you the bayo sapphire which we both agreed too. Yesterday you where completely fine with using the navaja as part of the payment and now today that isn’t the case. I don’t get what happened to change your mind. Anyways, the whole plan was for you to send the crypto and we use that as the other part of the payment to buy the bayonet. I was going to use my own money to buy you a navaja afterwards since you changed your mind. If I just buy a navaja I never know if your just trying to back out the deal and get your sapphire back. I had everything planned bottom line and would like to keep it like that.
    So I’m going to ask that we do it as planned and I use the navaja and crypto as the payment for the bayo. And after you receive your bayo I will purchase you a navaja which you can pay for after you recieve your bayonet.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Alright then, I guess I just have to go through with this to the end then. So you'll update me if you find more info on non-crypto methods or anything easier?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Yeah because with what you provided me regarding the limits, it’s going to be annoying.
    I’ll keep you updated I’m going to head out for the night but I’ll message you tomorrow.
    Have a nice night.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    For sure, thank you. You as well b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Jun 5
    Hey just a quick question, what are you coinbase limits for debit and do you have debit because that’s instant. I’ve been pretty busy today and will be throughout the week as I assume you will be too, just planning some stuff out. Have a nice day.
    Also PayPal, Google Pay and Apple Pay are instant for buying crypto meaning it will be instantly tradeable just like debit, so I suggest adding those and checking the limits for those.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Hey I'm still looking into the different methods, I have been pretty busy today and also yes also throughout the week. Thanks for the heads up.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Alright, I'm not sure if you read the part about your limits. Whenever you get the chance could you let me know about your coinbase limits for those methods I asked you about.
    Other than that have a good one.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Yeah they're around the same limit as what you said earlier. But I still prefer bank transfer because I read the fees are the lowest and it's just what I prefer. Thank you for your patience, have a good one too.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Alright bank deposits take 3-5 business days and can be used for large amounts so I believe you can use your bank to purchase the total amount at once. Earlier you said that wasn’t possible but I’m not sure if you where looking at the wrong payment method. So when you get the chance could you just check the limit for bank transfer and I’ll plan accordingly. Besides that have a good one.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Jun 6
    It appears that I won't be able to have everything until around the next next Tuesday, or just over 2 weeks. Bank deposits still take 11 days to be able to send, which is different from being able to trade. Other payment methods take a week to be able to send, but the limits are way lower. So let's plan in 2 weeks to do the transaction.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    So are you referring to the money actually being available in your bank taking 11 days? And then you will be able to buy the crypto. Just trying to make sense of what you provided. Anyways talk to you soon.
    Also the other methods would be much faster because although limits are lower, there instant and daily limits so it would just involve buying crypto 4 days in a row if that makes sensefrostythetrader Snoovatar
    No, the bitcoin will take 11 days to be sendable, and 7 days for the other methods, I did the calculations and if it took 4 days in a row for me to buy the total amount, it will still take around the same amount of time as the bank transfer, maybe a day less.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Where did you find that information? Because when I purchase crypto it’s instantly tradeable.
    And bank deposits only take 3-4 business days.
    There’s charts online about the different payment methods and there speed. I suggest you take a look. Have a nice one.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    On the coinbase site. Tradeable as in can be sent or what do you mean by tradeable because tradable has two meanings here.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Tradeable meaning you can transfer the crypto to other wallet addresses. What other meaning are you referring too?
    Also you should download the coinbase app on your phone aswell and make sure it’s setup if you haven’t done that.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Trade as in buy/sell along with other cryptos. For me I can't send to other addresses instantly due to the cooldown I mentioned above. And will do.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Jun 7
    Where did you read about that cooldown because I don’t believe that ever happened to me.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    In the app and also on their website, maybe it only applies to first time users?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Possibly, if you could send me a picture of that it would help. You could send it on discord if thats easiest. Thanks.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    What other bitcoin platforms are out there? It bought a small amount of bitcoin last Friday and there's still around 7-8 days left before I am allowed to send it to another address. This is pretty ridiculous.
    I bought*b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Well there are other platforms, but they have much longer delays. Coinbase is the better option out of all.
    I'm pretty sure it shouldn't take that long, I don't know why thats happening to you. I'm going to look at some things and come back to you.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Okay.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I don't know if you want to try this, but bank deposits take time because what happens is, it is actually not the exchange that holds your money, the exchange is simply waiting for your bank to send the money over to them. This can take up days and sometimes even weeks.
    I really suggest adding PayPal as a payment option because its instant and as opposed to your bank, it should be instantly transferable.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I did PayPal as well but it can only be linked to my bank account and it still takes a week.
    I tested PayPal too and like I already said, it will take about the same time as bank transfer in total.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Hmm interesting, so the only other option as for coinbase to see if its faster is debit if you ever tried that.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I've been reading about other people in similar scenarios, it seems to be a Coinbase issue, I don't think they are as reliable as before. Give me some other exchanges and then I'll get back to you.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I've personally never had issues with coinbase, I'll try to look for other options but if you get the chance could you send me the message coinbase is telling you when you try to trade crypto.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    This is a lot of trouble, want to just send the knife back and then we can just move on from this? Maybe there's something wrong with me trying to set up crypto? I don't have the whole message but all it says under Pending Transfers is Available to send in 7 days
    I feel like I am really wasting your timeb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Your not wasting my time, your good.
    Could you just send a picture of the message.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I want to do some research on the limit it’s giving you.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I would prefer to not send pictures but I can describe it. So the PayPal is around 1k, and the bank transfer shifted a lot but right now it's around 5k
    If you search 11 days coinbase on Google, there should be a post about someone experiencing a similar thingb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Okay
    Something pretty ironic came to PayPal literally today. Crypto was available but you could only transfer to other PayPal’s, now you can transfer to external wallets so this may be a better option.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Actually disregard that, its a lengthy process to even begin because it asks for tax payer information and other stuff.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I'm still a little confused, so is the problem where if you buy crypto it won't let you send it until 11 days passed, did I describe that correctly?frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Yes, for bank transfer, I can buy the crypto but then it does not let me send it anywhere until 11 days laterb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Okay I’ll try to figure some stuff out and let you know. Have a nice one.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Jun 8
    Hey I think it's only 11 days for the first buy since its your first time with coinbase, I believe it'll be just fine buying it on friday with bank transfer and waiting the 3-4 business days. I don't believe there will be an 11 day hold then since you already bought crypto on coinbase.
    Or if you want it to be instant on friday, you could just purchase with debit.
    And if you don't mind me asking, how are you getting the 11 day hold message, by sending the crypto to an address or trying to withdraw it.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I see, I'm not sure of that because I initiated 1 buy using bank transfer and 1 buy using PayPal. I get it right after I Buy it. When I go to Send, I see the pending transfers note saying the days leftb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Hmm, thats weird because theres only one post about that and even that isn't related to the problems your encountering.
    Where are you trying to send from, computer or the app?frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Also did you setup your coinbase correctly like entering the correct information.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    It was bothb1ast0ise Snoovatar

    frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I mean it should be if it let me buy?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    So your send doesn't look like this?
    Yeahfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    On the computer I think it does, on mobile it's differentb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    So where in the process does it show the hold message?
    It would be really easy if you could just send a picture of the message area.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    On mobile, when you click on the little i icon next to 'X amount of BTC available', it shows pending transfers and then shows my two purchases with the messages I said earlier.
    I'm all good with waiting, you already have my navaja and are going to sell it anyways so I don't know what to tell you.b1ast0ise Snoovatar

    So like here a section with pending shows up for you.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Yupb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Okay that makes more sense
    So from the two purchases you made they both have 11 day holds.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    No, bank transfer had 11 days, and the PayPal one had 7b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Okayfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Emphasis on had because they were a few days agob1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Yeah as long as your fine with waiting that sounds fine to me.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Can I buy elsewhere and just use my Coinbase account to receive the bitcoin like a wallet in a way?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Do you need to split up the buys because of the limit, like one day you buy x amount and the next that.
    There’s some other things we could definitely try that involve buying vouchers for crypto websites that I could redeem and withdraw crypto from, but I don’t want to overwhelm you with that if you don’t want to.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Yeah I prefer not to do that.
    Can you answer my question?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Well how would that work because odds are there will be limits there aswell.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Limits on what?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I’m going to try and find another crypto wallet that allows everything to be done instant and get back to you.
    Well holds is what I meant
    Worst comes to worst we wait the 11 days.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Holds on the part of Coinbase? Since I would be buying outside of coinbase, U feel like there wouldn't be holds unless Coinbase initiates a hold on any bitcoin I deposit to them?
    I*
    Yeahb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    What I was saying is coinbase is one of multiple crypto wallet apps/exchanges.
    Other ones likely have holds / limits of there own.
    I’m going to look at other crypto options and get back to you.
    Does that make sense?frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I think so.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I'm pretty sure I just found a solution. Trust Wallet.
    Buy Bitcoin instantly with a credit or debit card, bank transfer - Moonpay
    Thats the provider trustwallet uses when buying crypto so bank transfer will work instantly.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    What are the fees like?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Less than coinbase which also is good.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Gotcha, any idea of what the limits might be,b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    There are no limits.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Hm, I see some mixed thing about moonpay after searching it upb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Moonpay is trusted I can guarentee you nothing will happen to your funds.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    As long as you use trust wallet your good.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Jun 9
    It worked for the first transaction but my card got declined again and again.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Hmm thats weird.
    From what I'm reading certain banks don't like crypto exchanges for whatever reason and block payments to it.
    While I'm not 100% sure thats your case, what do you think is going on?frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Yeah I read that toob1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Are there other payment options to fund your trust wallet, because atleast we know now that it works, we just need to find an alternative to whatever payment method your using.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I may have to go with an atm, but the problem is there are pretty big fees. To help pay for the fees, could you trade the navaja back so I could sell it and then use the funds to pay for the fees at the atm? I know I will have to go through the kyc process but I am okay with that. Are you good with this?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    What would an atm do in this situation? And how big are the fees that your talking about.
    you'refrostythetrader Snoovatar
    ATM is the fastest out of all but I just need more funds to cover the fees which I can achieve from receiving my navaja back so I can sell it if that makes sense?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I'm still confused, are you trying to deposit money to an atm?frostythetrader Snoovatar
    A Btcoin ATM is what I mean.. Essentially I would just withdraw the cash necessary to buy the bitcoin at the bitcoin atm, and there's no bank involved because it would be done using cash. The fees range from 8 to 10%, so pretty massive.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    And if the fees are that big and you show me the particular transactions we can talk about coverage on that once the bayo is bought.
    Hmm.
    Bitcoin atms are pretty uncommon, are you sure theres one near where you are?
    And if you don't want to do that I thought you where fine with waiting for coinbase.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Yeah deposit cash and then have the bitcoin sent to my wallet after. But I know I won't have enough to cover everything unless I could get the knife back and then sell it, have those funds from selling the knife sent to my bank account, and then I could go ahead with withdrawing all the funds I need. And then I would go to a bitcoin atm to buy the bitcoin there.
    Oh yeah there's several, but only a few take cashb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    We already talked about why I can't send back the knife and that I would buy you another one after the bayo is bought.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Honestly I just want to finish this sooner rather than having to wait, I've been wanting the bayonet for a long time.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Disregard the fees, if you show me a picture of the fees I'll cover whatever is needed to get the bayo since you went through the trouble of coinbase and trust wallet and both being unsuccessful.
    "Most Bitcoin ATMs charge a fee between 9% and 12%"
    Thats just awful.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I know, but I can't buy the all the bitcoin necessary at the atm unless I could get my navaja knife back and sell it so I can then get all the funds I need. ATM method is the most expensive, but both of us would be completing this transaction a lot sooner, probably by tomorrow night once you can send the navaja.
    I can't disregard the fees, unless you can provide me with the funds first, which is why I think it would be easier if I could just get the navaja and sell it first.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I already told you before I know we both don't want to go back into that argument regarding the navaja. I will cover the remaning of the bayo if you show me proof of the fees your being charged. This would most likely mean me keeping the navaja funds I get from selling.
    To cover the fees.
    Or you still getting another navaja after I buy the bayo, but upon your next check you pay what you can to cover part of the fees.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I have to go right now but let me know once you can send the navaja and then I can sell it. Will keep in touch.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I already told you I can't. I don't know what your not understanding about that.
    I told you, buy what you can, if you really want to go through the trouble of an atm, even though waiting on coinbase is just fine you can do that and I will cover the remaing 10 percent or whatever you are charged for the bayo as long as you agree to cover those fees with either the navaja thats being sold or your next payment.
    A couple days ago you were fine with waiting on coinbase, whats wrong with that.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Well that was before I found out about the bitcoin atm. We could wait but it would be nice to just get this over in a day or two versus waiting 11 more days, it's just a big purchase where I can't wait until the next paycheck you know?
    Do you have proof that the seller from China already finished buying the navaja from you?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Finished buying it? Hes buying it as soon as its tradeable we already made a deal, he is the one who hit me up.
    Yeah, I get that please read what I said abovefrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Waiting would not cause you to loose that much in fees.
    Because the amount your loosing is terrible.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Interesting. I appreciate your sympathy.
    Well let me know when you sell it.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    So can we just stick to the plan, either wait the 11 days or I'll cover part of the fees and we will still beable to purchase the bayo tommorow, I will cover the portion as long as your able to cover it later.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I can't purchase it tomorrow without getting the navaja back to sell, so looks like we won't be doing the transaction tomorrow.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Okay so when do you suppose we do this.
    We can just wait 11 days
    I don't get why you want it back for what reason your giving, this won't affect it whatsoever.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I mean I guess so if you really can't trade it back to me firstb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    You can purchase what you can.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    So I can sell it and buy from bitcoin atm my brob1ast0ise Snoovatar
    That will be next week because once you receive it, it won't be tradeable for a week. Anyways, you don't need this to buy bitcoin from the atm, you can just buyer smaller amount like I said. I don't know why your not fine with coinbase and waiting 11 days.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Nah I'd rather just purchase all of it at once which will have to be 11 days since I can't buy all of it tomorrowb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    What difference would it make? You will still be able to get the bayo regardless of the fees tommorow.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I don't know why you can't just cancel a sale with someone who transferred money to WeChat pay which can be transferred back. But whatever, 11 days is 11 days I guess.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Yes 11 days is fine, at least you won't be loosing a big amount to the fees.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    So does your rep go down if you back out of a sale or something where no side loses anything?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Its a possibility, but I don't just back out of deals that I came to an agreement upon.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Interesting.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Imagine I had a item you wanted and promised to sell it to you, next thing you know someone else has it.
    How would you feel.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I would just move on and find a similar item?
    How about you?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I mean yeah move on, but you wouldn't feel the slightest bit mad?frostythetrader Snoovatar
    No
    If I paid money and didn't get a refund before I got the item then yes I would be mad.
    But if both sides aren't losing anything, there's nothing to be mad about you know?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I told you before the reasons I don’t want to keep repeating myself.
    I already made an agreement.
    Why do you need it back to be able to buy from the atm, you can just disregard the fees. I told you that already.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Yeah yeah yeah, who knows if I am ever going to get the bayonet sapphire with how unreliable Coinbase seems to be making us wait 11 days.
    Because I can't just disregard the fees unless you sent me something to pay the fees with you know?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    We will still be able to buy the knife tomorrowfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    So you'll send me the funds you get when you sell the navaja?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I’m buying the knife with the funds you send along with the navajafrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Then we can't buy the knife tomorrow, maybe in 11 days but not tomorrowb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    How so?frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Because I don't have enough to cover the atm feesb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    And the navaja will make that happen?
    It’s whatever, it’s up to you what you want to do. Wait 11 days or have it tomorrow. Either one works fine and don’t stress yourself. I can wait if you can wait.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Yes it will. When does the navaja be become tradeable?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Should be Friday I didn’t check could be Saturday don’t remember the exact time we traded it. Anyways how will that? Why can’t you lower the amount you buy.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    It's more economical to buy all the bitcoin I need at one time, and if I lower it, I won't be able to send you the amount for the full price of the bayonetb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    But I told you that would work.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I don't think it would, I'd rather just send you the full amount of bitcoin and get they bayonet that wayb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    But you are buying the total amount I'll just use the navaja to cover it and whatever else needs to be covered to buy it and we will talk about splitting the fees after.frostythetrader Snoovatar

    How’s it going? Lets just wait 11 days, it’ll save you a lot and is much easier than going to an atm.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I was looking into the Add Cash option in Coinbase but I don't know if it will be shorter than 11 days, can you look into that option? It's where you just add funds to Coinbase itself and then can buy bitcoin instantly from those funds?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    What do you mean?
    By add cash?
    The only way to add cash is through the payment methods, if what your talking about is what I’m thinking about.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    There is an 'Add Cash' option that let's you add money to your Coinbase account which can then be used to buy bitcoin instantly. But my guess is that the same wait time would apply for using that option too.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Well the add cash option is just bank transfer
    The only instant options are PayPal, or debit
    That’s unfortunate trust wallet didn’t work for you because there bank transfer deposits are instant where as coinbase is 3-5 business days.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Hm I only see the Moonpay debit option in trust walletb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    They should also have a credit.
    They actually only support bank transfer in the Ukfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    So that’s up to you.
    That might not even be worth it because Atomic wallet doesn’t require any of that and is the same where you can buy with card or bank
    So my best recommendation is atomic wallet
    It also has 24/7 live chat supportfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Jun 11
    Hmm, I think I'll just do coinbase and wait the 11 days, hopefully it ends up being sooner. Will keep you updated.b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Sounds good, talk to you soon then.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Jun 12
    Just checking in, hows it going?frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Going fine, just waiting for the bitcoin to be sendableb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Jun 13
    Damn, bitcoin is dropping quite a bit :/b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Yep terrible times in the market.
    I bet you’ll make more than you put in by the time it’s tradeable because it’s getting near rock bottom.
    When did you buy the btc and what price was it at?frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Saturday, I don't have the exact number but it was like 10% ish higherb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Are you aloud to covert the btc if so convert to a stable coin. But I think btc is going up it’s at an atl.
    What do you think is gonna happen to the marketfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Idk, as long as I get my bayonet sapphireb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Yep can you check if you can convert to usdt?frostythetrader Snoovatar
    It's fine, I'll just holdb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    You sure? It’s going down a lot.
    Hopefully it’ll go back up which it should?frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I mean you're going to use the navaja to help pay for it so we'll be fineb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Okayfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Does that work with you?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    If it’s good with you then it’s good with me.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Okay frostyb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    It went back up, now is your chance if you want to covert it to a stable coin so that it no longer fluctuates.
    It’s up to you but it could helpfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Jun 14
    Blast0ise, did you convert or are you holding.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Frosty, I am holdingb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Did you sell my navaja yet or are you holding?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Jun 15
    Sold yesterday, the guy took forever to get online but he finally bought it yesterday.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Good frostyb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Why do you keep putting frosty in every sentence lol. Are you good?
    Are you mad about somethingfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Yeah I'm good, frosty is just fun to say lolb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Well i hope your not mad cause it seems like it. Also to compensate for the navaja instead of buying you the navaja sapphire after will any of these knifes do justice after or no.

    If not I’ll still be on plan to get you the navaja after.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    No it has to be the navajab1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Okay
    What is your btc valued at right now in USD.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Currently, just under 3k, I got around 0.143 ishb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Okay
    One last question, how many days left does it mention on your hold.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    8 but I think it's going to change to 7 laterb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Jun 18
    It's dropping a lot, are you okay with paying for more of the knife with what you have to account for the drop?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Yes that should be fine let’s see what we are left with when it’s off hold.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Btc is at around 19k right now, if it drops to 16 or 17k let’s consider converting to a stable coin for the meantimefrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Aightb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Can you convert it to a stable coin now it’s still going down.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Which one do you recommend?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Usdt
    Make sure the fees aren’t over the top for usdt and if they are don’t do it.
    Anyways converting won’t add any hold because it has nothing to do with purchases so that’s fine.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    It’s starting to go back up just let me know what you decided to do.frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Jun 20
    I decided to just hold onto itb1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Good because it went up again.
    How many days does it mention on the hold?frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Jun 21

    Bye b1ast0ise, ba bye my friend
    Oh no, I gave you the wrong crypto address :(frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Oh so you have cash rep?b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    I hope you didn't send it yetfrostythetrader Snoovatar

    b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Do you have cash rep
    Who is that?frostythetrader Snoovatar
    Don't even bother trying to talk about skin trading/buying/selling or CS:GO. You seem to not know what either is judging from your scammer's reputation and your lack of real playtime/hours of playing and enjoying the actual game. Listen, I know you lied to me so I am going to buy it from someone else who I can actually trust with my money. I accept that you are not going to give the Navaja Sapphire back to me because you scammed me and that I messed up by not being more careful. I should have never trusted you in the first place. I know you scammed me because you sent me a fake rep site, but I hope you stop doing this to people and realize how low and shitty it is to scam people. I thought you were genuine for offering to help but I was wrong. I don't know your life or how you were brought up, but something must have happened along the way that led you to do this kind of terrible thing. One day when you grow old and gray, you are going to look back and regret wasting your time and energy on scamming people instead of just being a good guy. I hope you become a better human being while you still have the time. All I can do is pray for you. If you are actually legitimate after all this time wasted, return my Navaja Sapphire back to me and then I will take back everything I just said. Otherwise, you can go ahead and unfriend and block me now to confirm you are a scammer. ✌b1ast0ise Snoovatar
    Please keep praying for me
    I'm not a scammer though
    blastoise are you there?frostythetrader Snoovatar
    I hope you didn’t block me I dead ass want to talkfrostythetrader Snoovatar
    Hope you message me soon want to talk about that you said

    I see that there are several other reports made against Frosty with similar scenarios where Frosty initially conducted the scam over Reddit. I forgot to mention that Frosty also tried to establish credibility with me by sending me a link to a fake CS:GO trading reputation website which I unfortunately fell for in originally believing Frosty had some kind of trustworthy reputation, which was a mistake. Moderators, please consider banning Frosty from your platform because I am not the only person who fell victim to Frosty and their scam methods.
