Top Elite scams for $25/1m Bloodmoney

This is so sad to me honestly.. I just got on sythe and I'm an honest person. I don't understand why someone with so many great vouches would scam for $25.. I think that he thought he could just scam the little guy and get away with it..

Scammer's profile link: Top Elite
Explanation of the trade: He wanted to pay $25/1m Bloodmoney. I staked him over 1m then asked for payment to continue with the rest. So 2.5m Bloodmoney for a total of $62.5.
How they scammed: He said he sent the money, then I kept refreshing paypal. Wasn't there, then he unadded me on skype so I knew he scammed.
Proof that it's their Skype: He posts his sythe ID in the chat(pictured) and I checked the name and it matched the Sythe profile.
Skype profile ID & conversation pictures: All posted to imgur.
Other relevant trade screenshots: All posted to imgur.

EDIT: Added required information from the template.

 

Not sure why the images uploaded in the wrong order.. you can tell the order by looking at the time of the messages however.

Just gonna chime in here, (sorry mods) @Rj Sardo you need uncropped pictures my friend. show the full screen of the chat log + his skype profile

 

Like showing my whole skype screen?

 

Actually it's not needed mate, you were scammed by an imposter, Look at how many contacts that guy has.. 8? I've seen Top Elite on sythe for some time now.. that number isn't right. Also HIS skype is "top-elite" just like it says in his signature, sorry for your loss. You have "live:top-elite"

Make sure you get a PM on sythe with him confirming you are speaking to the real guy..

 

Damn.. lesson learned I suppose. Sorry for the accusation @Top Elite

 

I appreciate the help in the matter Jay.

 

Make sure you always get a PM from someone, and get them to confirm their skype and your skype. A lot of imposters scam people, this is the safest way to not be scammed.

 

I didn't know the "live:" part could just be added like that.

 

Yeah thats how they get ya... also look out for ; . , ) The smallest things can be added, and you wouldn't see it off the first look.

 

Pricey lesson to learn I suppose, I appreciate all the tips for future transactions though!

 

Sorry for your loss.
As Jay said, always get a PM, no matter who you're talking to or how sure you are.
