Please use this scam report format from here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260073.0 and report properly by including chat screenshots and payment txid as proof.

No one gonna believe if you report a scam accusation like that. If you want others to take seriously do it properly please.

And he's gone!

Didn't bother to even put a link to the profile, the rest have to do the detective work for him.
Anyhow seems like the guy has a few accusations Trust Summary for UK_Guy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=934053), but, what a surprise, nothing with a reference or any kind of proof, just like this one.

I wonder why people do this kind of half-assed things especially considering he supposedly was scammed.

So you got scammed by this user: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=934053 ?

You should have check his profile history and hire an escrow before dealing with him.

Here's where you can check his profile history: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=934053

Avirunes is right you need to follow the report format and present your proof, once it's proven the DT members will tag him.

PM/Chat Logs: he wiped the telegram (@uk_mark) chat we had, since I did not assume he'd scam me out of anything I have not taken screenshots, bit gullible of me, I'll admit that (I initially contacted him last week to clarify some stuff, contacted him again today to buy it)
Additional Notes: I posted a warning on his two VCC self-moderated topics (which each have plenty of deleted posts by different users) both of which were deleted. when I contacted him again on TG he pretended we never talked before, then wiped the history again

There does seem to be some "fact" (and history) in these claims.  He's been at it for a while:

This is the second time I am seeing a scam accusation about this guy. Not sure how I forgot to tag him the first time.
I think it's about time we left him some negative tags and raise a flag against his profile before more newbies become victims.

Thanks for adding earlier related accusations. I will add feedback and support the flag.

Don't use telegram. Chat with some other apps like discord or something else. Telegram is the worst chatting app I have since it allows a user to change its Telegram UID and also allows a person to delete his messages from receiving end as well.
