[Impostor scammed]

Scammer's profile link: @Mentarley
Explanation of the trade: i added him on discord and was wanting to buy 50m osrs gp via paypal. He said he was not taking paypal but he would exchange rs3 gp for osrs gp if i bought off piegp.com. i did so and he blocked or unadded me on discord and is ignoring me.
Amount scammed: 50m or $30
How they scammed: had me buy rs3 gp off 3rd party and stated if i put his account down to accept delivery he would then give me osrs gp.

Did you request a sythe PM before the trade? His Discord is Mentarley#0001 not mentarley#0001. Discord names are case sensitive.

Can you also check the Unique Discord ID of the account? Refer to this thread: Discord PM Template

See if the Unique ID matches the one on his threads/profile:

Spoiler

You should see that it doesn't match 276918858600939520

Sorry for your loss, it seems you were impostor scammed. Please go through the following to better protect yourself:

1.) ALWAYS request a sythe PM before every trade to make sure you're talking to the correct person. A correct PM should look like this: https://i.imgur.com/hhosthY.png
2.) Discord Impostors almost always have nitro, which allows them to change their Discord Discrims (#) to copy legitimate users.
3.) Discord names and # can be copied but Discord UIDs can't be! Please always double check this. Go into Discord settings > turn developer mode ON, right click and copy ID. Explained here: Discord PM Template
