Scammer's profile link: Tyler
Explanation of the trade: On Dec 10th, 2017, I purchased an OSRS account from Tyler. I purchased it for $850USD in bitcoin (.0618BTC).
Proof of payment: The trade went well, and here are some images showing proof.

How they scammed:
I was sucesfully playing on the account daily, for many hours since purchase. He wouldn't accept PayPal for some reason (I suspect now that it may have been so I have no protection, after his recovery), so I had to wait a few days whilst I sold my counter strike skins for BTC (this is all on discord chats which I can show, but seems trivial).
I was told all the history of the account etc. He seemed kind of 'cold' but I figured that might be language barriers, or just personality. Either way, it didn't matter to me as I really wanted the account (DUE TO THE PROTECTION OF BUYING IT FROM A MOD). I paid so much for the account, when I could have paid less than half the price for a better account, from a less trusted seller. He says I have buyer's remorse, however, I spent hundreds of dollars on skills and many hours of my time. I bought the account at a total level of 1918 and at the time of recovery (only one month later) I had levelled it to 2020 (this is the runeclan: tishri OldSchool XP Tracker - RuneClan). It doesn't seem like buyer's remorse, to me. I wanted it for personal use, and nothing else. If I was planning to resell it and recover it or whatever, I would have bought a much cheaper account (I suppose) as I did not need the security.
Ok, so the first time the account was recovered it was the 15th Jan 2018. My messages were probably somewhat cold, but I am sure you can sympathise with me as I had lost all of the gold I had purchased only a month prior (check my vouches). Tyler was helpful it seemed, and he recovered the account for me. The gold was gone. He was the only one who could recover it, as even he said he'd never recovered it - so who else would have the information (if he was indeed, the original creator)?

He said he did not recognise the new email, and was recovering the old email, etc.

I didn't change the email back to mine, as I did not want to alert Jagex (I live in Australia). Also, I figured I had no protection anyway because I had authenticator and it had been removed already. I wanted to check if my gold was still present. It was not.

I then said he can buy it back for me at whatever price, as I had lost thousands of dollars and was scared about the account being compromised. He had bought it back twice before, but coincidentally did not want to this time.

He then reversed the burden onto me, implying that I had buyer's remorse. He then claims he didn't imply this. I have no reason to ask for a refund after playing the account daily, and investing so much time and money. Buyable skills were trained, meaning I literally cannot get a refund.
I waited a while, and then messaged him asking for the email to be changed to mine. When he said yes 'send me the link', I tried but could not login. Recovery number two.

He then said 'You have explaining to do'. I still do not have access to the account.
Instead of attempting to assist me, he seems to have 'got in first' (Imgur: The magic of the Internet) and reported me for something I didn't even know that I was doing. If I was ban evading (which I am unsure what it is), then I accept my punishment if it was in breach of the rules. However, I paid $850USD for an account, which I no longer have, and also lost several thousand dollars (in gold from recovery).
I have since sold my remaining gold from other accounts, and cut my losses (as seen on my vouch thread).
The rest of the discord chat is only a few messages of him saying I am going to be banned. I still don't have access to the account I purchased for $850, as he would not give it to me. In saying that, I am unlikely to play on it again after I lost my money and it was recovered again.
Proof it is Tyler's skype/discord:

We didn't talk much on skype, but if required I can send some proof it was Tyler.
I hope this is all in the correct format, I have spent a lot of time thinking it over and writing it. I appreciate everyone's time.
