jacqstrap attempted scam

Explanation of the trade: One of the people I consistently sell Elkoy GP to on Sythe asked me if I had
any Elkoy, but I didn't at the time. He proceeded to check for other suppliers in the market, and ran into a user by the name of @jacqstrap who has a gold shop, and apparently has 31.3B Elkoy for sale according to his thread. He never stated his Skype, or had a Skype button, which is reasonable to an extent, but when I dug deeper into this I noticed I had the user on Skype, and he messaged me yesterday looking to buy Elkoy GP.

In this Gyazo GIF as seen above you can see that @jacqstrap denied a middleman from @jvankesteren even when he offered to pay the MM fees. Now I know you may say just because he denied a MM that you shouldn't make a report, but it's still very suspicious. That's not the reason I made the report though. The main reason I made this report is because he never had the stock to begin with while claiming he had it.

All screenshots regarding the conversation between me and @jacqstrap can be found below [will be in chronological order]

To summarize, he lied about having any stock, and it seems that he's using his reputation as a 7 year Sythe member to manipulate users into going first to him, so he can scam quit. I know these are heavy allegations, but it's pretty accurate depiction that he has bad intentions by all the evidence seen above, and I figured I'd make the report, so no one gets scammed before it's too late. Also I reported his RSPS Gold Shop post earlier because in his ToS he stated "You must vouch after the trade" which seemed weird to me considering I've never seen this guy before, and he refuses middlemen (under the other user's fees) when having little to no vouches. I never screenshotted that, but @Meteor can approve of it since he handled the report, and I'm sure you guys can check history on that.
