    WhatTheGaia attempted scam

    Link to scammer's Sythe profile: http://sythe.org/member.php?u=316407

    Briefly explain the trade: $375 for angelic minis on Gaia Online

    How they scammed (short version) : This guy claimed he would send money first and then sent a fake receipt to me and said that it would take 2-3 days for the money to show up

    Proof that you were not talking to an impostor: Screenshots are from sythe





    How they scammed (long version) :
    This started a few days ago when WhatTheGaia wanted to buy some gold from me. I started to get sketched out and backed out when I saw this

    http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1369674

    Apparently he had stolen some screenshots and was attempting to sell things he did not have. So I really didn't want to trade this guy. He started spamming me with messages after he saw the screenshot I had posted in my previous scam report. Finally I told him I would trade him if he went first or we used a middle man.
    Screen shot here.

    He started making excuses and then he went on to my vouch thread and said

    I didn't really care at all, I thought it was the end of it.

    A few minutes later he sends me a message saying he will go first, but he says something that makes me uneasy. He says that it will "take 2-3 days" for the money to show up.

    I know it doesn't take 2-3 days for a paypal payment to show up. So finally, he sends me a fake receipt after like 20 minutes. I check my paypal, there is no money in my account and I send him this screenshot.

    He then tells me

    The rest is just him trying to rush me into accepting the trade. If anymore screen shots are needed, let me know.
