"Turm Up" is one of the dungeoneering smuggled items "sellers".

I wanted to buy 30 staves smuggled from within Daemonheim. I visited Sythe.org and contacted the first seller result. He appears to have been a legitimate trader so I decided to contact him to purchase four staves. His post is here:
http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1216546

While in-game, he promised that a tier-8 daemonheim staff would be weildable by a non-member account of mine, so I decide to purchase a single one from him just to test if he were a genuine seller. I paid him 4 and a half million coins in a members world, and weakened his avatar in the clan wars portal; with the intention that he will log into FTP and I will kill him on a FTP account to acquire the beloved staff on the account i wanted.
Although, after logging into a FTP server, he mentions that the staff is in fact members only and that he does not provide "refunds". I tell him that if he pays me back the 4.5 million coins, that I will purchase thirty of the top-tier FTP staves from him. He "negotiates" a 'deal' with me that he keeps the 4.5 million coins, and that I add 35.5million coins, for him to give me 30 staves.

Although I were suspicious, so I did not want to do all of the staves in one trade. As seen in the screenshot, I wish to do just one staff. He convinces me to do a simple ten for 10 million, which I accept and trade him 10 million coins. Then, he claims to be "lagging" and as you could see, dissappears and kicks me from his chat channel.

As you may see I have contacted this player in-game and he has run off with my goods without providing any merchandise to me, which is the POINT.

Noteable information:
In the video, his display name is MCDLCK; Turm Up is the previous display name of MCDlCK; and Turm Up is the name of the scammer on the Sythe forums. They are the same person and you can add them in RuneScape to see that Turm Up is his usual display name.


Long story short:
1. I give him the payment.
2. He claims to be "lagging" once it has been accepted.
3. He logs out, and I have NOT killed him or received anything.
4. He ignore lists me.
5. Add the display name you see in the screenshot, "MCDLCK", and you will see that it is in fact Turm Up who scams me here. His name in RuneScape is also Turm Up, as he says in his thread; and as you can see in the screenshot of his alleged merchandise.

PS: I do have a friend who is a scythe admin like I say in the picture, and he told me to go here because he is away from home.
