Unfortunately in this world it seems that there are plenty of people out there trying to rip you off, even over what would be considered small potatoes.
I made an offer to trade LTC for BTC and
UniversalTrek offered to trade with me. He did not want to pay me first because of trust, so I offered to send him 43 LTC for 1 BTC and once that transaction was complete, he could send me another BTC and I would send him 43 more BTC so that we both had to trust each other.
Of course this isn't equal since I had to go first... but I took the risk, after all, its a single BTC, who would risk their reputation on the site for that.
Apparently, UniversalTrek.
Here is a screenshot of him telling me to send him 43 LTC to his address:
I sent the transaction and of course it went through right away but only had 1 verification, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt and gave him some time. 3 hours later, he still claims he doesn't have the LTC even though I've sent him 3 URL's to different block chain explorers SHOWING that I sent him the money and at this point, it has 117 verifications.
Here is the transaction:

I'd love to see his proof, as I clearly have all the proof.
Here is proof he moved it from the wallet I sent it to:

http://ltc.block-explorer.com/address/LhGjZn8uMaNvjTUGH7aqqN44X3SznxTSzmIt is clear that he received the LTC, moved it, and then claimed he never received it. This guy is scummy and a liar. DO NOT TRUST HIM.
