Terminated.
Since case is now solved what should I do, remove/close this thread?
You should probably mark it as resolved in the title with something like :"[Resolved]". Additionally, you should close it as advised by others.

about the negative feedback given ?
Considering that it is resolved, I have removed my negative rating.

All paid signature campaigns should be banned.
So nakisama can remove the negative feedback and then delete this thread, or at least lock it.

He has paid through skrill, although it was risk, i accepted, and just to confirm it was legitimate transaction, and i was away.

I have already transferred him bitcoins. I dont know why negative feedback has been left.
In your profile there's another negative feedback that was posted that I think you need to settle aside from OP thats why Lauda left you a negative feedback resulting to a red paint in your profile. Better deal with it or state here why that guy accused you as a scammer and warns everyone not to deal with you. Then ask Lauda to lift the negative trust rating.

There are some lessons to be learnt here OP:
1) Look at the trust rating of the user (both trusted and untrusted feedback, but take the latter with a big grain of salt unless there is substantial proof).
2) Do not trust anyone.
3) Use escrow when you're dealing with members who do not have a verifiable history of trades (which often coincides with a higher trust rating).

In the case of the user in question, he or she has possibly scammed at least 1 more user in the past:



I've left them a negative rating.

Update:

I have received the bitcoins due.
As mentioned above I was in contact with the user for the last 4 days and he gave me his consent to post the accusation scam here.

Since case is now solved what should I do, remove/close this thread?

What happened: I wanted to do my first purchase of bitcoins. I contacted this user to know if we could do a deal. I would transfer 12 Eur from Skrill to him and he would send me the respective amount of bitcoins.

We were in contact via skype and after sending him proof of payment I agreed to wait until next day as mentioned on his thread here.
This was done last Thursday.

Today, Sunday, and after several messages exchanged no money has been received, either the return of my skrill funds or bitcoins.
I provided him with 3 bitcoin addresses, no transaction is found, confirmed or unconfirmed
