    Link to scammer's Sythe profile: http://www.sythe.org/member.php?u=338573

    Briefly explain the trade: Agreed to a trade of my UC Darigan Ixi for $50 Moneypak. Since I'm new to Sythe, I agreed to go first and sent him the pet. He had some vouches so I figured it would be okay.

    How they scammed: Right after receiving the pet, he logged off. I sent him a PM threatening to report. He replied several hours later saying his computer lost connection. He stated he would be online in two hours to send payment, or possibly the next day if not at the given time. He never showed up or sent payment. I asked him to go ahead and send the MP number to my email I had given him for the trade exchange, he asked for confirmation that the email was the same one from before. I replied that it was. When no payment came through on the email, I asked he send it through PM instead, thinking it may be easier for him. No reply.

    He has logged on to Sythe repeatedly since then, no replies since email question, and no payment. My last PM to him was stating I would wait until tomorrow for payment or return of the pet before reporting here and taking necessary actions on Neopets. However, I'm reporting early after seeing darkkrad's scammer report also involving a UC Darigan Ixi and noticing Janoski has been online since my last PM and still has made no effort to answer or pay. It all seems very suspicious to me... hoping a moderator can clear things up one way or the other.

    As proof, I have screenshots of the pet and all of the PMs from start to finish. I can also grab some paypal/bank account screenshots to prove no payment was received.

    Proof that you were not talking to an impostor: [​IMG]

    Trade screenshots: I'd prefer to PM the remaining screenshots to a mod for privacy reasons, bank account-related.

    Thanks for contacting him.

    Sent him a PM with the times I'll be online today and tomorrow but this is the first time there's been any mention of MSN/Skype to me. I've been on MSN every day but today, haven't seen him on there at all.

    Also, I don't have team viewer. Wondering if it would be allowed to get an MM involved to help complete this trade? He already has the pet, plenty of proof of that, could he send the code to a trusted MM, have the MM put it into their paypal and if it works just fine send money on to me through PP payment? Just trying to figure this out.

    Getting PMs he's trying to sell the Ixi he hasn't paid for, exact same name format.

    Think I'm going to go ahead and look for an MM. Or if a mod could MM? I can vouch and tip for MM help if it means this can get resolved.

    Edit: I have been in contact with Janoski about MM resolution.

    Still looking for MM he can send code to and that can then send the payment on to me through usual PP payment, preferably through PMs since his schedule seems busy. Looking through MM forum but not sure if mods/mods who also mm would prefer this go straight through them at this point?

    Well, I'm not familiar with the trade, try looking around for someone trusted.

    I think n4n0 will be handling the last half of the trade.

    Banned until repayment, he can make a thread in the dispute forum with proof when he's repaid you.
