What happened:: User angelinius scammed me. He runs an Uber Thread here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/scammed-by-user-angelinius-1612687 . I approached him to buy the referral rides, and after his initial reply, I paid him about to 0.019 btc:

Rides are added within 24 - 48 hours of ordering.
I gave him 2-3 days for adding the rides. A day later he says, that he cannot guarantee adding rides within 3 days.
I then asked him for a refund as he could not fulfill his 48 hour promise. I told him, that I won't be needing the rides in 5 days, so no point on buying. So asked him to refund the amount.
Ultimately he refused, and did not offer the refund.
Hey there,
The order is already in process and cannot be refunded.
I will do my best to deliver your rides by sunday but it is not guaranteed.
Thanks!
He also didn't add the rides. About a week later, people started complaining on his thread about not receiving rides.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1505643.60He then sent out an email to everyone, about refunds. But didn't provide it. He again didn't reply for another 2 days, probably delaying so his account doesn't get a negative rep, and today he sends out a message saying refund processed.
But the amount he has refunded is partial:

I then asked him to honor his initial promise of the 3 rides for 10 and I will pay him the remaining balance.
And then I got this message from him now:
The refund has been made in terms of value.
+ In fact, it has been refunded more than its initial value.
If you are not happy with it, return the BTC and I will give you the amazon $10 voucher.
If you keep insisting on going on like this, threatening me, I will use all my rights against you to legally act upon you and this case.
Regards.
So firstly, he didn't deliver what he promised. Scammed multiple users and stopped replying. Later he comes in, probably after another deal he got or after I opened up a scam accusation thread against him today and refunded partial amount. He is refusing the refund the full amount.

Additional Notes: I would also like to point out, that he had charged me about 0.002 btc extra because I was paying with bitcoin. But at the end didn't even refund the full amount, as well as cut me off on the btc amount.
