Briefly explain the trade:
I asked him to hold the account to wait for my paycheck. (May 14th - I said I'd pay him 80m for an account.)
I broke my wrist prior and told him I couldn't pay 80m at this time. We continued chatting and he agreed to 30m (22 usd to buy the gp) would suffice.
I bought the GP from a website but they were out of stock. (I refunded this from the website)
He claimed his sister was pestering him for the computer so I said I would just send him the money and he could buy the GP himself.
When he got the money he said he wanted to get the GP first as a pre-caution to me trying to scam him. I ask OK with this as he seemed trustworthy.
When he went to buy the GP he was supposedly scammed and as a result logged off of Skype and I never saw him again.
How they scammed: Got my money for nothing in return.
Proof that you were not talking to an impostor: See tradescreens
Trade screenshots:
I realize chat logs aren't exactly the best proof, but I'm reporting him 1 week after the incident and the actual chat window cleared the text, as I'm now upgrading my Paypal dispute to a claim.
