So he has promised myself and another scammed buyer a refund come Monday. I highly doubt he will deliver.
That being said, I still find it odd that the address he gave is in Kansas City, and the IP last used to login to bitcoinclassifieds.net is right outside Kansas City.
It's either a cleverly used VPN, or he does in fact live around Kansas City.

Thanks for letting us know to stay away from him.
I was also a victim of this scam. Just goes to show, if you find something that's too good to be true, it isn't. The seller has said they would refund the money, but we will have to wait till monday for them to get it. r00t$ has been really good at keeping the pressure up, so maybe we'll see a result sooner rather than later.
The scammer goes by Johnna McNaphee, Nicholas, and/or Shaun McNamee

They use a profile on localbitcoins as a "character reference" to highlight they fact they have 100% feedback. Could be a hacked account?

Another guy that got scammed has given me this name and address that the scammer had included in an email, but it's likely not the scammer. I have not had a moment to contact the party to verify.
