Hey @noskii703 I'm sorry to hear you've gotten scammed.

Make a report here.

Here's a template to use as a reference when making the report: How to Report a Scammer; Report Templates + Video Tutorial.

Another good sticky to keep in mind:
ATTENTION! ALL SKYPE PROOFS MUST INCLUDE THIS!

If you have any other questions feel free to message me anytime. Again, sorry to hear this happen.

 

well fuck. I've never used this site and i guess its my fault for being too trust worthy. i can show you the discord convo but thats about it. i didn't take a pic of the trades. and i can show pics of the pms he sent on here. will that be enough? @RebornKings

 

You need to post it in the Report a Scammer section. Do what I said in the first post, and follow the format in the link I provided you.

Again, I'm sorry to hear that this happened, but I really recommend taking a look at these threads before trading again in the future.

Tips to stay safe:

○ Check the report a scammer section before you trade with someone; they might have an open scam reports against them. Google the user's name "username123 Sythe profile" to help view the user's trading history.

○ When dealing with BTC, always remember to wait for 1 confirmation or it may not end up confirming and the BTC being double spent, to learn more about double spending click here.

○ Be extremely wary of using Teamviewer, if the other person asks to "verify." This is a scam 99.9% of the time.

○ Does a person's buying offer sound too good to be true? Significantly higher or lower than the market price? Then it is more than likely a scam!

○ Almost all types of online payments can be claimed back as fraud; this includes (but not limited to) Paypal gift, Paypal friends & family, Paypal G&S, Bank Transfer, Skrill, and Venmo.

○ Be on the lookout for fake websites! Always get a PM if you are unsure.

○ We have Middlemans and Official Middlemen who are willing to help your trade go smoothly, if you do not trust the person use one! Don't let people con you into not using one, they are safe and the trade will go just as quickly but 100% safer.

• We have an array of safe methods and guides here on Sythe, a few including:
• A true guide to Western Union
  
• Paypal: Chargebacks and Limitations
  
• How to Create, and Verify a PlayerAuctions Account
  
• Coinbase Bitcoin Purchasing Guide!
• If you have any questions or need help with anything, don't be afraid to reach out to our Staff members here & here

 

Do the above and also remember to read the stickies, they're there for a reason.

Using an OMM will keep you safe 100% of the time, there is a small fee but I'm sure you'd rather pay a small fee than be scammed out of everything and leave empty handed.
