I paid him 1,50,000 /- (One Lakh Fifty Thousand) for 3.937 BTC on 19th March, 2014 but he has still not given me the BTC always coming up with one excuse or the other and now his phone is unreachable. He first said he will pay me after receiving the money, then he said 48 hours, later he said 24th March, then 25th and then 27th but now he has not replied for 2 days and his phone is unreachable.
I have actually dealt with him a couple of times since 2013 but lately he seemed desperate for money and was acting weird. But i still paid him because i had bought from him many times. EDIT - HE IS A SCAMMER. No BTC/Money for close to a month now.
Maybe I can report this scam to the IT Department and the Police. On earlier occasions, I have paid him for BTC to many different accounts.
This time, i paid the 1,50,000/- to

Update April 11, 2014: This guy is a scammer. No news from him and no BTC till date. He was even asking for more money for investment in contract work he was doing in Bangalore.
Thats quite sad bro .Don't report it to the cops they won't do jack but they will question you about your online cryptocurrency stuff You know Indian Cops right ? You could trace the scammer though .You've had dealt with him before so find some traces like IP address or his bank details like something .Just find him.
I think going to the cops would be the best thing to do.. If you live in a metropolitan City.. They should understand what cryptocurrency is.. If they dont..then make them understand.. as long as you r not doing anything suspicious with bitcoins that is.. I think everyone has his banking details.. but I couldnt find out any solutions solely on knowing the banking details.
