Scammed by bubbaj123

Scammer's profile link: bubbaj123

Explanation of the trade: He agreed to buy 1560m for $1,263. Agreed to pay via BTC. Once I dueled him the 1560m he stopped responding to skype messages and I have no notices of any incoming transactions on my coinbase page.

How they scammed: I could not get a response from a mm (he encouraged contacting a MM) and he was "trusted" in my eyes so I went first. Dueled him 1560m. Then I gave him my btc address and he stopped responding.

Proof that it's their Skype:

^^ tries to make it look like we couldn't complete duel (I'm assuming for this scam report. See picture below that proves we did in fact complete that duel.

^^ He tries to get more out of me..

and that's how you lose $1260.

I've added this to his ban reason as the time-stamps / conversation on Skype line up with the PM you received, however I'm not sure why people are putting that much trust into this scumbag. It sickens me to see low-lifes like this manipulating people such as yourself into doing trades with them. Use a trusted / MM, or OMM rather than trusting this kid. Or if you deem him "trusted" as you say, then do increments next time rather than throwing all of your money to him at once. If I was in your shoes I could predict that scam from a mile away just by his demeanor in the conversation, but I'm not you, and I'm not trying to get under your skin as I feel for you, however it just sickens me to see people like this (@bubbaj123) make others quit over stuff like this.
