Wanted ! Dead or Ali ..... actually just a warning
This is the face of a scammer, to all those who may think or are already on the Rising Star NFT game - just be wary.
In keeping with political correctness and recent woke/gender correctness culture, not to mention his RS picture ill refer to him as 'IT' rather than her or she, .. even though it appears IT has a name like 'Alan'...(who really knows what lies beneath)
his Rising Star name is alancantillo12
'IT' has been reaching out to people to buy their RS cards, maybe people who have not been playing for a while.
During negotiations IT will continuously refer to you as 'Bro' in an attempt to build trust, ... I say this now 'attempt' but I was somewhat taken in by this, .. so am feeling a little bit like a plonker even writing this post.
){kind=link}
Basically, I was short-changed on the deal which we agreed on once I transferred all my RS cards to him. It was a bit surprising how quickly the tone changed, .. with not a mention of 'bro' after he got all the cards.
In the brief exchange after, before he blocked me on Discord, he cited all kinds of reasons now why he couldn't give me the complete Hive we did the deal for. These ranged from.
I took too long to transfer and it only takes a few minutes. (takes ages doing 000's 50 at a time 😐)
He's seen the value of my Hive on Hive Engine so doesn't think I need it. (don't think he's seen my total hive account (shush 😲))
I don't have it right now. (strange..you confirmed you were going to send it to me the day before once I sent all the cards 😏)
I think it's safe to say I'm not going to receive it, but I can at least warn others, .. with a special nod to @bozz who actually warned me on Discord last year about this guy. I just completely forgot about our interaction until it was too late.
so please, .. pretty please (with sugar on top)
.. stay away from this guy, don't fuel his dishonesty.
The title made ma laugh
Maybe he was just giving you a fair price for the cards after all?

I'm sure I did warn you about this guy. 'Make sure you get ALL the HIVE before sending even 1 Rising Star card'.
I sold my entire collection to him and it worked out for me. He complained, moaned, hassled me in the middle of the night and the deal was not great, but I wanted out and so have no regrets.
My advice is: DO NOT BEND. He wants the cards, and has the HIVE, but don't trust him, at all.
@gungunkrishu had some dealings with him.
As he blocked you, I will make sure he sees this.
thank you dear @slobberchops for letting me know about this person. He did also approach me and was interested in buying all my Risingstar cards but the offer that he was making was not reasonable and hence I decided not to pursue. But definitely, I'll be more careful with any similar trades, its better to get HIVE first before doing any transfers.. thank you once again for the caution. cheers
Reputation (one's word) is everything. Apparently his doesn't mean much. In the end scammers always lose.

Someone should make an Escrow service for these kinds of things. Perhaps on Hive-engine.
I insisted he sent ALL the HIVE first or no deal. He's now arguing with me on discord. Totally ridiculous, and will post it when the conversation peters out.
you did the right thing, .. like I said the 'Bro' mantra got me, ... if he makes good on the original deal then ill make it known but it doesn't change what his original intentions were. it's only when realizing the consequences the discord block came off and excuses came. not falling for it.
What a cunt. I hate scammers
Ditto.
@meesterboom, ... Boom! .. tell it like it is 😄. glad it got most of it
God that sucks, what a prick.

This publication of this type makes me laugh. The truth is I am the one who made the deal with Mr. @goblinknackers , I really cannot believe that he wanted to damage my reputation through this publication... first of all, I I am among the top 30 of the rising star game.. Second, I am one of the biggest rising traders and everyone writes to me internally to buy me or I buy cards, because I am one of the most recognized in the rising market.. even higher up is Mr. @slobberchops trying to agree with his friend (because they are friends) when I clearly explained to Mr. goblinknackers, that I had an economic problem at the time (I never blocked him from discord) and for that reason I had to sell all my hive at that time and I forgot what I needed to send him, I asked him to give me a few days while I tried to put together the missing hive (another fact that Mr. @goblinknackers did not mention in his post, is that I sent him 90% of what we had agreed, only 10% was missing to finish paying everything) and even so he decided to make a post wanting to make everyone think I'm a scammer, please hahah .. I don't need to scam, first is the word of one, and just a while ago I sent you an amount of hive since it is what I currently have, I would need about 2% to finish paying you in full... you can see everything in the transactions and you will realize this... another thing, his account was worth much less and even so I exceeded his price and bought it from him, so I don't see why he mentions that I am a scammer, a scammer would not have given him even 1 hive, I just hoped that he would send me everything and that's it, but hey, that's the world, the rich complaining about pieces
TBH it's the kind of response I expected from you. Pleading all innocence when the fact remains that you did not make good on the deal, and throughout you never suggested that there was any time factor involved, ... in fact, it was only the day before you re-affirmed the deal, to which I completed my end. After which you completely ignored my 5 or so discord messages, ..(it's also quite easy to check if you've been blocked BTW, and now unblocked I see since I posted this). I also don't see how you are in any position to retort as you are still not good on the original deal which was completed over 3 weeks ago. As iv explained to those who have asked it's the point of good faith and trust that has been violated and I wouldn't want anyone else to be in the same situation hence the warning post to anyone who may be tempted to take you at your word.
when did i block you? I want you to show it by sending a screenshot, since when someone gets blocked in discord a red frame appears saying "the recipient you wanted to send a message to could not be sent", I only appear offline, so don't say things that aren't, show it to see If at any time I get to block you, and you can also show our conversation where I mentioned the problem I had at the time and for this reason I did not send you the entire hive, as I mentioned in my previous message, it was not easier to wait to have the person send me all their cards and then not send them anything in return? I could have done that, but I bought absolutely everything from you, it's not my fault that you took almost 2 weeks to send me the cards, that's why I really asked you if you wanted to do the deal or not and I returned the cards without any problem, I don't have need to steal anything, I have my rising account and it is in good condition to come and damage it... all those who are "judging" can look at all the transactions I do with the rising star people, this is blockchain, everything can be seen , and will post the photos of the conversation with Mr. @goblinknackers , but since I know what he will say to modify something, to publish it himself, to show when he gets to block it or remove it from friends, I want him to show it to see, and You also do not show the capture that I sent you with the hive that I sent you the day before?
I am too lazy to continue arguing when it already made me look like the bad guy, I will just say like the previous message "this is blockchain and everything can be seen" for those who have any questions, they can look at all my transactions and write if they want to all the people with The ones that I have dealt with and you will see that they will answer you, a pleasure.
Are you going to settle and send him the 50 HIVE, or is he 'too rich' to be worth seeing through on the deal you pre-arranged?
Just for transparency.... This is the message i got from this guy....
As you can see, it was sus as hell which led me to reach out to @goblinknackers. Despite the small returns I still play missions pretty much every day. I also find it interesting that they dug into my transactions to find other potential "targets".
As targeting is exactly what I see this as. Sure, it's a public ledger, but for me the bad vibes meter is off the chart here.
hi @Bozz, it was a bit odd of me to totally forget your warning to me on this, thanks though. lesson learned.😑
No problem. Stuff happens... :)
Calling me 'bro' tends to raise my suspicious. I have sold and swapped a lot of cards to people who contacted me, but I always ask them to send to me first. I have a good reputation and they could call me out if I cheated them. There is the option of putting cards on the market for them to buy, but there are fees and someone could snipe them if it's a low price. Selling cards in bulk is extra hassle.
I see he responded. He needs to send the rest of what he owes you.
