THIS IS RESOLVED. STR4WM4N HAS TAKEN RESPONSIBLITY FOR HIS HACKED ACCOUNT, AND REPAID MY LOSS IN FULL. PLEASE REVISE YOUR FEEDBACK IF YOU HAVE LEFT A NEGATIVE ON HIS PROFILE
So, here we are. The first time I have been scammed on this forum. str4wm4n had advertised the fact that he had a Casascius Bearer Bar for sale in the Collectibles section (see reference). I PM'd him and we agreed on 0.85 BTC for the bar, with postage by Next Day Special Delivery. He advised me he was in the UK. Some evidence now shows that he is in the USA when you check his posting history. He attempted to get me to part with more BTC by saying he had 4 of these bearer bars for sale. I advise that once I received the one I had already paid for, that I would be in touch and make a deal for the remaining 3 bars. I sent him 0.85 BTC, and then an additional 0.01 BTC for Next Day Delivery. After stalling several times when a tracking number was requested, but not given, I started to get suspicious. More info in proper format below.

Great, looking forward to it. Sending by Next Day Special Delivery? I can send you a few more bits if needed.
Didn't plan on it but I can. Do you need more of these? Have a total of 4. Now three.
LOL! Send me this one today by Special Delivery please, and when received tomorrow I will likely be contacting you to buy the remaining 3
I'll send another 0.01 to the address from yesterday in a few mins to cover the excess postage, so yeah, please send by Special Delivery so I get it tomorrow. Once I have it, I will make an offer for the other 3!
Perfect.

That's strange. Hold on. Very strange. I told the lad tuesday
Tracking number please. Last time I will ask. You seem to avoid that request, and I have asked you several times now.
He did not reply after that.

That's it for now. I will add more info as and when I have some. He has been tagged by myself and a fellow DT2 member. If any other DT members wish to tag him, please do. He is glowing red now, which should prevent anyone falling for his crap.

Please don't give me the "You should have used escrow" stuff. I know I should. My fault. The Legendary account and dark green trust made me believe I was safe. I was wrong.
Thanks,
Zepher

I have asked for tracking information several times now, and you have failed to provide it. You have 10mins before I leave a neg rating. If you provide proof it was sent, I will remove the rating.
He did not reply after that.
