204 sats \ 4 replies \ @siggy47 13 Apr \ on: 🚨 Someone Tried To Scam Me On RoboSats bitcoin
Lately I have frequently encountered a long delay after a seller accepts my gift card offer. Sometimes the seller is online, sometimes not. It's not unusual to wait 3 hours. Odd behavior. I never exercised a collaborative cancel, and eventually the transactions go through. Maybe it's the same guy waiting for someone using a gift card to initiate a cancel, or maybe it's innocent. I dont know.

It could have been innocent but it seems too suspect to me to send the code after I initiated the cancel.

I agree that you were right not to send the code at that point.

One mitigation I have adopted for this is to only trade with sellers who are online. Not 100% fool proof but I started doing this a while ago and it seems to have helped.

Lately I only make offers. I agree 100% if I'm a taker.
