Kevster is a scammer

Link to scammer's Sythe profile: http://sythe.org/member.php?u=297997

How they scammed:

1) I'm selling an account
2) He PM'd me today asking for my skype
3) I gave it to him
4) Someone added me to skype a few mins later, told me they were interested in the account, and sent me a link saying PM me to confirm we're talking on Skype, and then he also sent me a vouches link.

5) When I checked the links, they were to the profile of 'Arcus Isidar' rather than Kevster as I'd expected.

6) I asked him why he had pm'd me from a different account and he said he never PM'd me. But that was suspicious because I didn't give anyone from sythe my skype except Kevster. So I asked him how he got my skype and he said he did some 'researching'.

7) I asked him to PM me from Arcus Isidar first.

8) He said Lol and blocked me. I was pretty sure right then that it was Kevster because I didn't give anyone else my skype. You can check my PMs to see this.

9) Around the same time as he blocked me, I got a PM from Kevster giving me a different skype account to add.

10) I added him, he told me that he will send me the money through mail,and he wants all my RL info first. And he said he will send me the money by UPS.

11) I told him I don't live in the U.S and he still said he'll send by mail, even though its not legal as far as I know to send money by UPS or mail to other countries.

12) When I told him that its illegal to send money by mail, then he said he'll do a bank transfer.

13) I told him he'll have to go first and then he basically said no, and blocked me.

14) Since I didn't give anyone else my skype address except Kevster, he must be the first guy who tried to scam me pretending to be Arcus Isidar. Then later he tried to get my RL info, so this guy might be worse than just a scammer, I don't know what he could use people's RL info for.

Proof that you were not talking to an impostor:

(then he blocked me)

(notice the timestamps between when the last guy blocked me and this guy started talking to me)

I want to insist that no one else from Sythe knows that skype account, its not a coincidence that a few mins after I PM'd him my skype addy then an imposter got my skype Id from out of the blue. This guy is a scammer. Otherwise its impossible for anyone from sythe to know my skype, my PMs prove it, he is the only one I gave my skype to.
