    Now I know Monbox is a 1000% legit escrow. Well this "brand new" user is trying to set him up for a huge scam.
    He sent me this...
    !!! WARNING: This user is a newbie. If you are expecting a message from a more veteran member, then this is an imposter !!!

    Hi 12Bananas21,

    Ill take the 5 bitcoin, payment by Western Union.


    Escrow is a must for me to keep the transaction safe.

    I suggest monbux for escrow -

    He is on the forum approved Escrow list:
    https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/855778.0

    monbux profile:
    https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=133846

    His feedback from previous Escrow trades:
    https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=133846

    If you want to trade let me know and ill drop monbux a pm with all the details for escrow.


    Thanks,
    John.



    Well obviously I'm not stupid. He must be. I smelled scam because I got almost the EXACT SAME message from a scammer a week ago saying this...
    !!! WARNING: This user is a newbie. If you are expecting a message from a more veteran member, then this is an imposter !!!

    I'm selling 2.6 Btc at 1:1 Btc-e rate. Cash deposit. 5/3. Escrow I'll be used here or Lbc

    Ill take 2.6BTC if you are willing to use Escrow.

    I suggest monbux.

    monbux, he is on the forum approved Escrow list:

    Well go back to the first one...
    So I responded "okay let's go".

    He then sends this...

    Just had a pm back from monbux -

    Hi MrWDune,

    No problem acting as Escrow for your currency exchange.

    Can you please forward the link below to my main Escrow thread on the forum to the 12Bananas21:
    "Link removed"

    @ 12Bananas21 when you have sent the BTC to the Escrow address in the first post in my thread please pm myself and the buyer the transaction I.D

    @ MrWDune when you have verified the funds have been sent you are safe to send payment to 12Bananas21

    @ 12Bananas21 please pm when you have received payment so I can release the bitcoin to MrWDune

    Cheers,
    monbux


    Obvious I see a link and click it... Well just in case he changes it... The link is NOT A BITCOINTALK LINK. So I've taken the pleasure of screen capping it with my iPhone :-)
