I was unfortunately scammed by the user "wmz1987" for $20 worth of bitcoin.
I made a deal to buy $20 worth of bitcoin from "wmz1987" with me sending the money first via PayPal:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Which I did and then waited for the promised, at the time, BTC0.0556, to which he did not send. I messaged him multiple times, his status saying "online", and asked him if he scammed me. To which he responded:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He never sent the bitcoin and ceased communication for the day. I messaged him several times to no avail. Not wanting to jump to conclusions I decided to just wait for a response. Eventually he did respond:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I never received a response to that message. Nor any others I sent within the next five days. I finally decided that I was scammed. Not before asking to to please at least respond and work things out as to not be labeled a scammer.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have not received any payment from him or messages since.I realize that it isn't the best choice to deal over PP but I was okay with sending the payment first as he didn't have a negative trust level. I don't want to reverse the transaction either as I still have hope he will eventually pay me the bitcoin owed.
In short do not trust
"wmz1987" as he is a
