What happened::
I bought a Newegg.com gift card from him before and ended up not working. He gave me a refund so I assumed he could be trusted. Eventually he said he was selling eBay gift cards and had a $500 one in stock. Without even doubting his legitimacy I paid the amount and then immediately said he wouldn't be able to give it due to "power outtage" in his area and that I would get my gift card once it is fixed. That was such an obvious lie that I knew I got scammed right there, but still continued to message him for another day just in case. I never once got a response from him even after countless messages, except for spam messages these sellers send to all their contacts. Once he gains your trust with small amounts he will scam you at larger amounts.

This is why you always do people with either a proven trade history or use escrow. the forums is absolutely infested with scammers and they love praying on the un-informed and the new. Sorry for your loss, Hopefully this money wasn't vital to your survival. better luck next time.
