Possible Scam, TWC/Ban

Briefly explain the trade: I had four 90-day GameStop cards for sale, and he agreed to buy them for 90m RSGP. After catching each other online, he said that he was waiting for another 40m to be able to buy the cards. He requested that he add the credit directly to his accounts, and I agreed.

How they scammed: The first code I sent him, he claims, did not work. He sent me a picture of it not working (from a different number than he had originally given me that he asserts is his personal number) , but that could have easily been faked by claiming the card and simply re-entering the data. Soon after this he said he had to go eat. Included in the screenshots is a picture of the physical card with the number on it and a screenshot of me sending him the number via MSN. The numbers are identical. Also there is a screenshot of one of the cards working fine. All of the ones applied by myself worked without a hitch.

Another tip-off was the fact that he says he needed 40m, as the most one of his accounts had was 50m. Yet his vouches show him buying around 200m, and no other vouches suggest he had sold it; in addition, no vouch was left by the provider of the 40m. His vouches: http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1125994&page=11 However, this could simply be because vouches were not left. Unlikely, but a possibility.

The trade, as seen by the MSN logs in the screenshots below, occurred yesterday at around 7-8PM (Pacific time).

Proof that you were not talking to an impostor: The MSN screenshots show the same MSN that is at this link: http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1255269.

Leaving to eat soon after explaining:

The circumstances seem sketchy to me, and even if it isn't ban-worthy, I think it may deserve a TWC. If there is absolutely any other information needed, please let me know and I will do my best to provide it.

Overview:
OhDearIAmDead was one of my regular mail customers. He told me that after not being able to get ahold of me, he bought some RS membership cards that he was planning on selling instead. I've never bought a membership card before, but I offered to buy his because I try to keep all customers happy and loyal and because I needed some anyway. I received the first code and it gave an error message for my account. After waiting, the message was still the same later that day and then again today. I don't know what happened, I doubt Jay would try to scam me, as we've done business before and things have always been great.

Anyway, I'll go through and answer the entire report point-by-point. I'll do my best to provide whatever mods need on request as well.

Also, if you'd like, I'll still buy 3 cards off you at the price of 90m, they can be applied by OMM over teamviewer on my accounts if you wish. We've done trades of hundreds of dollars in the past and we both know I wouldn't do anything to betray that trust. You're a valuable customer and I hope that this doesn't keep you from buying again.

Firstly, there is no actual proof. You could have done the exact same thing that you accuse me of.

I didn't leave immediately after first trying as he suggests. I waited around 15-20 minutes and tried again. After that didn't work, I couldn't sit around and wait for something that might never work. I'm currently visiting my parents (Video can vouch for this) so I couldn't just sit and study for hours waiting like I normally would have.

Yes, it's true that I have two numbers. One is used mostly for Sythe and is run through Google Voice. The other is my personal number. He inquired about the message, I said I'd send him a picture. Google Voice can't send picture messages, so I sent it from my personal number. I also sent a text from my Sythe number confirming that my other number was me. Any mod can contact me about confirming these numbers if they'd like.

The amount of gold that I have available changes often an rapidly. I sold about 800-900m that evening in several trades, so things were rather busy. Two big ones were:
400m via moneypak which I have a vouch for
and
320m via PP which is not vouched because the buyer is banned. I will happily show either of these transactions to a mod over TV.

As for the 40m thing:
I had 50m on one of my accounts, so I needed 40m more to be able to complete this trade. I bought 50m at 0.60/m from a banned user. Here is a screenshot of the transaction in PP:
