Thanks for the warning. There are way too many scammers out there, it's good to be overly cautious. You have put together some compelling information on this scam accusation.

The fact that he deleted the comment and locked the thread shows that there is some truth to it.
Somebody should get him tagged before he scams someone.

I’ve left a neutral rating warning that he’s a potential scammer

Edit - After advice from hugeblack & reconsideration I’ve painted him red

Thanks for the warning.
From time to time, I review all the accounts and give negative trust for the members who sell using Auto-buy URLs "without trusted escrow," especially with self-mod topics.
I am not a DT member but it is a help for the forum. unfortunately, members are being scammed even if the warning exists.

Is a "neutral rating warning" sufficient for this situation? Many scam cases are done using this method.

@hugeblack - He hasn’t scammed anybody as far as I can see. It looks shady but without having done anything can we red trust, would you say?

As far as I know, yes. Auto-Buy URLs alone raise suspicions, but in addition to self-mod & locked topics and new accounts, red trust is needed, until the account proves his truth "using Bitcointalk escrow or Bitify.com."
There are some similar cases [Case1 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5104253.0), Case2 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5094800.0),...etc]? Check @EcuaMobi's trust (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=169515) for more
