And here's the beautiful part,
I did not say the whole truth in my last post, I admit. I did not lie, but I gave the impression that the chat was deleted before I had a chance to photoshoot it.
I knew that this liar would immediately deny everything.
Well, every time I correspond with someone I do not know, I make sure to shoot the screen all the time and record the conversation.
I suggest that each of you do so. It does not protect you from scammed, but at least afterward there is evidence.
(By the way, I have no connection to the user CENX , I do not know him)
I am now posting my full post with detailed proofs (which I will post later in the Scam Accusations forum):
User: von Bahl

https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/von-bahl-2612673His telegram: bahl738756
A link to prove that this is indeed his telegram, he likes to play with the order of numbers in the telegram name and say he has impostors:

The guy walks around the forum and offers Amazon gift cards for sale.
I turned to him and asked to buy a gift card for Amazon Germany.
He said he sells them at 75%.
I told him we would start with a gift card of 50 EUR.
He referred me to Paxful while relying on their support for the sellers.

I did not have an account there and I told him I would open one.
Luckily, I encountered an error signing up and was unable to create an account on Paxful.
I told him that if he had a 25 euro card, I would risk being paid without escrow,
He said he did not have a 25 EUR card.
Then I suggested that he sell me a 50 EUR card without escrow but get only half the payment (19 EUR) in advance, he would send the card, and after I redeem it I would send him the second half of the payment (18.5 EUR).
He agreed.
I sent him 19 EUR

https://imgur.com/a/xwbjJuWHe sent me a photo of a gift card. I redeem it into an account and of course, I got an error.
I sent him a screenshot of the error.
He apologized and said that his partner had made a mistake and gave him a card that suited Amazon USA and not Amazon Germany.
He offered me a refund of the Bitcoin. I gave him my wallet address and, you will not believe it, he handed me the Bitcoin !!

But fortunately, I decided that 19 euros were the maximum amount I was willing to risk.
Two days later, I turned to him again and asked him to sell me a 50 EUR card on the payment terms I had agreed upon.
Apparently he understood that he could not get more of that amount of money, He agreed, I sent him another 19 euros

These 19 euros will be my tuition. I'm sorrier for the waste of time in three days of talking to this deceiver.
If you want to see most of my conversation with him, you can look at these screenshots in order:

And there are many more like him.
Maybe it will make Newbies (me included) get some lessons.
