Why not use your main account to get more attention, a lot of accusation is being ignored because they use their
alt rather than using their main account. if you are fully confident about your case that you have been scammed
then use your main account to make the accusation that way more user will take your accusation seriously.


anyway, why would you trade to a jr. member who doesn't even have a +trust? the mods even post a reminder of how to trade with someone safely.

That doesn't matter. Just because you're new that doesn't mean that you should rush in here without common sense. Basically what you did was send 100€ to a pseudo-anonymous user without a verifiable history of trading. Normally you should at the very minimum use escrow (or deal only with trustworthy users).

It is highly likely that the user is not going to respond to this.

Now you know,we are using bitcoin here and it's not  like paypal where you can get a refund or do a report,you should have done a dilligent research by checking the feedbacks,anyway a lot of red tags already ,this will warn future buyer of that scammer..

That basically marks the end of the trade from his side.It would be stupid of him to not block you since he knew he wasn't going to pay you any bitcoins either way.

What you should do : Try contacting Amazon customer support and let them know what happened of course don't mention bitcoins or a trade was involved.

Lol.  This seems like two scammers seeing who's going to lose first.  I don't trust folks here who sell gift cards, but maybe this one here was just surplus for OP.  But as Lauda has said, you're new, but you really ought to keep your wits about you on this forum and that should be obvious.   Better luck next time.
