Scammed By 07Slave on Discord

Before I begin, this was 100% my fault for not being more attentive and seeing the warning signs.

07Slave on discord Imgur.
488519775606276106 that is his discord unique id.

So 07 slave joined a server that I am a host in, BetKings, and asked to buy some 07 gp. As the owner is suspected of an exit scam, I let him know this and invited him to join my server. I started talking with him over discord pm about what he was looking for. He mentioned that he only had PayPal and that his account. I told him that I can take his payment as Paypal and buy it from other people that I had on my server. So I received the initial payment and used it to buy BTC which I then used to buy his GP and the first trade went well.

That is a series of snips from discord that have our conversations. I was having issues getting my btc to go through, but he got the first 400m from me.

Then, a few hours later, he said that he would like some more. I agreed and we got to talking. He sent the money over for the second trade and I noticed that it was a different PayPal account so, I asked him if they were stolen accounts outright. He denied that they were and he was just using visa gift cards, which meant he had to create a new account each time. I admit, I thought it was sketchy but didn't think too much of it. So I went through some channels and bought bitcoin, but CoinBase had put a hold on my account for reaching my daily limit. I offered to send it back to him because, at this point, things didn't feel right to me, but he refused and asked that I buy it off of a seller website just using it. So, I knew something was up and just kinda stalled, making excuses about how these sites wouldn't let me buy the amount he was looking for and things like that. I was just trying to buy time to see if I would get a charge back email. Sure enough I got one and send that to him, asking him to explain. He sent me some story about how I should call PayPal and tell them my account was hacked and all that nonsense. I tried reasoning with him to see if he'd let the whole thing go and refund me the first 400m (pointless I know). He did not and told me that he "doesn't help people after he does this."

But that's the whole story. If get hit with a similar story, it may be him. I know this is all a very easily preventable loss, but I just wasn't thinking and paid the price for it. If I need any more information or proof let me know!
