We need to do some investigation before pointing scam words at someone
As far as I understood, you were dealing with the seller in real time over IRC and then disappeared without notification soon after he sent. Oddly-timed delays in peer-to-peer trades are usually a bad sign. A disclaimer can simply be revoked but if someone else were to get scammed in the intervening 24 hours suggested, that damage can't be undone, so the responsible thing to do is to notify the forum.
Anyway, I apologize but given the entirely trust-based nature of peer-to-peer trading, clarity is a personal responsibility and no one is owed benefit of the doubt.
