Explain the service: 260m 07 for 70-99 strength, 91-99 range, 90-99 mage.

Proof that the service was not completed: Moderators if it's okay could you pm me and add me on skype for the discretion of my account :)

Other relevant trade screenshots: I have a picture of the 260m being in my account but could you pm me for that?

So to pay him, i put 260mil 07 on my account and he said that was fine. [I have a screenshot of the 260mil in my account at the start]. After a week, my strength was 80, I checked by asking him on skype as well as looking on osrs hiscores, he pmed me saying someone took my all the valuables in my bank [blowpipe, fury, z ring, other weapons and items] and claimed the money was not on the account anymore.

I questioned him into why he didn't take the 260mil out at the start of the service and he said because he needed to buy supplies and he was afraid of rwt ban. However, the supply costs only equate to 70mil - 45mil for red chinchompas and 25mil for runes. So why couldn't he take 190mil off and leave only 70mil?

In addition, He claimed that he works in a team but didn't tell his friend / worker my password (The use of ambiguous words like "think", makes it ever more suspicious and when he reported that all my items are gone missing, he said he didn't tell his friend his password).

There is a bank pin on my account so no-one can touch the cash except for me, him and his workers. It all seems incredibly fishy for me based on the conversation.

Lastly, why would i log into my account, take all my valuables and money away for only 10 strength levels when i trusted him from the start with 260mil 07. It just doesn't seem right. Why couldn't he take the service fees out and leave the money for supplies in? If he was scared of rwt (He apparently has 150 vouches im sure he can handle this better, which was the only reason i trusted him) and it being a "hassle at the time", why didn't he just ask me to trade him the service money at the start and leave money for supplies in my account? In addition, how was he going to remove the money in the first place? http://imgur.com/I6jikr7

Update, he has posted a thread stating innocence and me requesting 100mil 07 which is entirely true. However, the reasons why i requested was because i would at least like compensation for the missing gold and items instead of making this a hassle. However, since he was unable to return me a reasonable amount, I decided to file a report here on sythe. Chat logs are as follows : http://imgur.com/a/pPEK7
 
Report in question: http://www.sythe.org/report-scammer/1896734-reporting-effigycraft-alleged-scamming.html

Currently there is a report against me about a service of 99 strength/range/mage from current levels for 260M.

The situation: the buyer left 260M on the account (for service fee and supplies). And what he had in his bank at the time(approx 50-60M). After confirming myself over sythe with Skype logs, I was left with the account and asked the client to not log on during the training as to not interrupt any sessions. During this time, I gained 10 strength levels (70-80) which is 14M worth of training and took 50M of the 260M for my personal uses. This was all done before Saturday at 12:00am.

From there on, I was not home Saturday and Sunday because of being at a regatta. I come back Sunday night to find that the money remaining on the account (~210m) and the items in the clients bank (50-60M) were gone. I immediately informed the buyer of this occurrence and was of course, accessed of taking everything which is to be expected.

After some discussion, I informed the client that he is able to report me on sythe and leave it to the mods to deal with. He agreed and proceeded.

However, after some more discussion, the client was completely OK with me returning 100M to be free of this whole ordeal which raised my suspicion of whether or not he took the items off the account to try to get free money out of me.

Edit: I wanted to clarify that I commonly use the words like "think" and "we" because I'm just used to it. I work in a team but some jobs (like this one) I don't give to my team members because of the value of wealth on it. When I say something like "I think it's best if you disable authenticator because me and my friend will work on it" it means that we are talking before I've decided whether or not my team will be working on this service or just me.

Client asking for 100M:

To conclude, I am willing to return 36M (50M taken - 14M for service of 70-80 strength) to the client but do not feel I am inclined to refund the full amount as it is not certain whether or not the client is guilty of this situation.

Can't prove who took it, let this be a lesson to anyone who requests skilling or other services not to leave anything of value on their accounts
