Scammer's profile link: Valk err e
Amount scammed: $105 in LTC on February 28 (LTC price was $129.50)
Discord ID + Unique Discord ID: bakedbreaks 633833243531149322
Proof that it's their Discord: imgur.com

Explanation of the trade: On Friday, February 28 (CST) I was interested in his inquisitor prod. Originally he was selling it for $130, then dropped it to $100. I wasn't getting any luck selling any of my accounts sadly, so I only had $70. He told me he needs $65 for his phone bill and asked me if I could buy it for $70. I was at a family event so I asked if he had LTC, he said no but he downloaded binance and was able to provide me a wallet to send it to. I asked how much it could cost to secure it all instead of doing a payment plan. He said $105. I sent him the amount that night.

On Saturday (March 1st, CST), following day around 13 hours later he said he fell asleep and then he'll be home in an hour or so. I followed up around an hour and 30 minutes later. Then again 8 hours later and another hour after that. No response. He did hop on to play Rocket League and Apex Legends. I'm assuming his discord is linked to his Xbox and it could be his brother or something. That's why I'm trying to be lenient.

Then I followed up again the following morning, on March 2nd I followed up again with around 5 hours apart.

Now it's March 3rd. I've pmed him on Sythe and he immediately opened up, read the conversation, but nothing. Idk what's going on.

How they scammed: Look, I'm only making this report to try and get him to actually give the account I bought. I don't know what's going on. I don't mind having this resolved and he receive no punishment if he resolves this. No communication is tough as I don't know if I'm scammed, if he's going through something, if I was too late sending him the cash or what.

I also have the blockchain link if I need to provide it but idk if I should provide that in private or not. Staff please let me know. I would rather this get resolved rather than be scammed or have him not do his side of the deal. I trust the guy but 0 communication is tough :\

@Valk err e you have been issued a DNT while this report is reviewed.
You will need to provide some insight here as to why the account delivery is being delayed.

 

@connoradill, you can also provide the blockchain link here publicly as well. Thank you.

@Zulu is there a reason I can’t pm him on sythe anymore? Says I can’t message him. I started a conversation with him the other day and it instantly made him active a few minutes later. It’s what made me want to make a scam report since it previously said he was active on the Saturday at like 12 PM?

 

@connoradill users that are DNT status cannot send or receive private messages. He has been online since the report was made and chose not to respond here, so I will give him a few more hours.

Ah makes sense.

 

No response despite being online several times since the report.
@Valk err e has been issued a 3 month ban as punishment for scamming and will remain with the DNT.


@connoradill I am sorry for your loss. You can check the following thread to see if/when you are eligible to apply for a Community Repayment Fund reimbursement.

• READ THIS FIRST! Community repayment details and template

Community repayment is the Sythe.org staff team's process for returning stolen funds to members of the Sythe community. These funds primarily come from users wishing to pardon for their offenses and return to Sythe following a ban; refunding scam victims is a key step in this process. Occasionally, repayment funds come from anti-scams, where money is stolen from a scammer to repay their victims, and generous donors as well. The purpose of this forum is to connect Sythe users who have been scammed with these reclaimed funds.
