So I guess this is what I get for trying to restore my faith in people, I get fucked over. I have just been scammed by a member on here for BTC0.1652.
To many people that may not seem like a lot. But for that money I have to work 10 hours, 10 hours for someone who gets a kick taking advantage of people.
I was just trying to do honest business and I thought I could work with this guy. I even sent him more than I initially told him. I told him I would send half first, he sends the whole $100 thorough WU, then I pay him the other half after.
Instead, after he sent me "confirmation" that he sent payment, I decided to be nice and send the other half. I go out of my way to pick up money which isnt even waiting for me. I dont know what to do anymore.

Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do. You can try reporting the theft to you local law enforcement, but they probably aren't going to be much help.
What was the address that you sent the bitcoins to?
In the future, when engaging in a transaction with someone that you aren't sure if you can trust, use escrow. There are several escrow providers that have established a trustworthy reputation in this thread here:
