Briefly explain the trade:
I was MM'ing a RSGP -> Paypal trade. Xolan was the RSGP seller, EliteStrMage was the buyer. EliteStrMage attempted to "send the payment early" so that the RSGP would be traded over to him fast. No payment ever went through (I have screenshots of Xolan's paypal and email if necessary). EliteStrMage claimed to have sent the payment, however, when I asked him to take a screenshot of his paypal payment, I was confronted by an edited picture which can be seen below (obviously editing the date and trade amount).
How they scammed:
No-one was scammed, but it was an attempt to scam by claiming the payment had been sent, even though it was never received.
Proof that you were not talking to an impostor:
This is his form on my MM thread:

The scammer's email is [email protected]
Trade screenshots:
EliteStrMage uploaded his initial "paypal" picture to Photobucket, however, it has been since removed for obvious reasons. He refused to show me the "details" for the paypal transaction.
The link was: http://s1135.photobucket.com/albums/m626/Fordranga552/?action=view¤t=rs.png
This is the actual picture:
If you look closely, you will notice these adjustments:
The date: White background ontop of the grey area.
The amount: Out of line - abnormal line above the amount.
A few screenshots from the MSN conversation - more are available if necessary:
This is confirmation of the link he sent over MSN (for the above fake Paypal "payment").
More screenshots:
As the screenshots show, when EliteStrMage realised that I wasn't going to trade him the RSGP until the payment was settled, he tried to back out of the trade completely.
Also, I have pictures of Xolan's paypal account, just ask and i'll PM you them.
