Updated the post with an edit of the full metadata of the gmail message.

Thanks for providing detail information. Hope it will be enough for all users to keep them far from this proven scammer. Please always try to take service from trusted users and don't forget to check the trust area. Using escrow is always safer for any kinda deal.

Flag supported and scammer profile tagged from my end.

Basically read more into the website and user before purchasing anything. Also using an escrow. Didn't know about that but do now.

The lesson is do not trust any stranger online enough to send first, when making trades like this always use an escrow, and there are well enough trusted ones in this forum, I truly wish you didn't have to learn this the hard way.

Anyways, the user has been tagged and your flag supported.

Feeling sorry after hearing about your loss. You didn't feel it necessary to take the help of trusted escrow service before making the payment. You made the first mistake by choosing a service which is completely new and service provider used some new accounts to bump his ANN topic. I am seeing from my end that all the guys who have replied there have a interesting similarities and that is all 4 accounts registered on 2017. Isn't that looks weird ?

By the way, Thanks for creating the topic to make us aware about another scammer. I will add this scammers details on ★ List of Proven Scammers (Bitcointalk users Only) ★ soon.

Note: "OP" Please update your topic with the flag link which have already opened by you.

Yeah...it is what it is.

Can you share another screenshot where he gave you the ID of the chat app and also which chat app is that? Just need to verify the chat screenshots as you presented. Will tag the account after it is posted here.

Also if you don't mind me asking what lessons you learned from this incident?

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

It seems that was gmail.

To OP do as what said above by clicking the arrow-down icon below the email name and take a screenshot to have a strong proof if the email address used on that chat/email is the same on what is posted on his ann thread- ann archive

What happened: I saw a link for getting torrent invites and sent BetaHost bitcoin for one. He never replied after I sent the bitcoin. Be warned.
