Also gave you both a positive rep for the help in bringing these scammers to justice !
Thank you, greatly appreciate it for confirming Aquaman is a scammer and also that Mahav guy who tried to scam me pretending John K send him an escrow contract for another BTC<->LTC deal !
Everyone, please give a negative rating to AquaMan and Mahav while at it. It has been proven they are scammers so let us prevent them from scamming other people !

No problem, it's a pleasure to put scammers into the shitcan.

Alright, from what I can see here, AquaMan did scam, and Mahav also tried to send you fake escrow info including a fake escrow PGP contract.
An agreement was made on .759 BTC for 25 LTC to the following address: https://blockchain.info/address/1MgB2nXb6Kgou3tVDoe9vVudEcDG1QVvrx
Which you can see was transferred off, so AquaMan took the funds and ran for sure.
http://gyazo.com/cf2eaa54eed3daf0ee6a1cda23963ad1
Which is where AquaMan states his address before the part deal (25 LTC rather than 100 at once) was confirmed.
http://gyazo.com/29c766e5d06e5b8ae05555c0e5e5db0c
Which is where AquaMan basically runs with the funds.
The fake escrow contract is too big for gyazo, so i'll just put it in code tags:
TL;DR, there's the proof, time to go neg rep AquaMan and Mahav.

Alright, I was actually able to catch John in the #bitcoin webchat, after several bouts of entering/leaving. I have not actually dealt with him before so I assume my PM wasn't high on his priorities. Anyway he sent me this on the chat:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
The escrow address for “mahav” (the seller) and “biggie” (the buyer) transaction would be:
(200 LTC in escrow, awaiting BTC deposit from “biggie”)
LW2j3C3rksN2KHvjcNzfyLUwFJw2nXy2sw - Litecoin
1LfejDBJ3UbFw7BVLGTzdTeR1bvqdHpuvh – Bitcoin
Please state and agree to the conditions (It is 6.17 BTC for 200 LTC.) beforehand.
If possible, GPG sign your agreement to prevent any discrepancies later on. GPG signing is not a requirement, and any verbal exchange in the form of private messages or posts on bitcointalk.org, or email is effective as a ‘statement of condition’.
The fine print:
This Contract is solely generated for the purpose of facilitating the transaction between the seller and the buyer, which refers to the pseudonyms used on bitcointalk.org.
The escrow holder, John, assumes and gives no liability or guarantees on the satisfaction of all parties involved, although he agrees to mediate and facilitate the deal to the fullest extent he is capable of. On the event that any problems arises, he will release the escrow to whichever party that presents him with the most convincing proof and/or after an open discussion with others or theymos.
The verbal acceptance by both parties (or the failure to reject) and the sending of coins to the escrow address above constitutes the acceptance of the terms and conditions stated, and the activation of this Contract.
Please understand that I am assuming the risk of holding the escrowed Coins, and I am using my own time to facilitate this transaction.
If possible, please tip me at 1NB1KFnFqnP3WSDZQrWV3pfmph5fWRyadz. BTC -
Thank you.

Let me know if this agreement sounds good and then I believe I'll have to send the 200 LTC to John's address. Not doing anything yet until you reply though!

TL;DR, there's the proof, time to go neg rep AquaMan and Mahav.
Also rep'd Mahav for sending you fake escrow info.
Confirmed. The transaction took place as Biggie described.
Thank you for confirming and your bother to check this !
I hope now we can put a scammertag on AquaMan, mods ?
PS: And if there is still a TRUSTED person who wants to check for himself feel free to post here and i will give you my password to verify.
The thing is, you can't just get all the mods to check, without a big scam and screenshot proof so that the mods don't have their time wasted, all you can do is have people on DefaultTrust (incl. Tomatocage and me) give them negative reputation.
Also: PM me your login details and I will check and leave negative reputation if there is sufficient proof.
Sorry, i really need some one trusted or recommended by another trusted member. Tomatocage was recommend to me by a highly trusted person so i gave him my pass to verify my story. And it's not a waste of time, tomatocage saw it fast. So any mod/admin can do the same if they want.
Right now i hope the mods/admins will act to stop this guy from scamming people.
They won't, only trust ratings will. Unless this guy made off with 1000 BTC, then he won't be getting a scammer tag, and without proof, then the community won't really put any reds on him :S
If some one trusted wants to vouch for you then i will give you my password so you can verify and give AquaMan a negative rating. I know it's not alot of BTC, but it's principle, next time he might take alot more from some one else in the nearby future and we all stood and watched ... If people see the community at bitcointalk deals fast with scammers it'll only be positive.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=55122
Don't know why I have to make myself look trusted to look at some PMs, but...
I have some decent rep from trades, excluding 2 negatives, one from someone who gave me a negative rep after I gave them a negative rep (calling me an alt of Tomatocage, lmao) and one who gave me a negative rep after I called them out for literally making a thread that said 10 names and the word "SCAMMERS".
I'm also on DefaultTrust:
http://gyazo.com/16322964e2a6c0f60e48ff35360cf27a
Satisfied?
Ok, i see also tomatecage trusts you so i PM'd you my login details to verify and post here your findings !
Thanks alot !
Biggie, DiamondCardz is a Trusted member, so it's probably safe to PM him your login details.
