Unfortunately I used Skrill to transfer the amount to him. This was probably the biggest mistake.

If anyone is interested, I'm could share the entire conversation.

I reported him to Skrill, but I doubt they will do anything.

I'm new to this forum, and I'm sad to say, that I fell for this guy's scam  .

At first he seemed very legit. He answered prompt, and gave me good faith in, that he wasn't a scammer.

After I transferred him the amount, he went quiet. I haven't heard a single peep from him since.

I really hope that no one else got scammed by this user, but his setup was so professional, that I'm quite sure I ain't the only one.

I did my research before I transferred the money too him. I checked his account (he has been an active user since 2014), it even looks like he bought mining gear from other forum members.

It's been 4 days now, and I still hope that he will get back to me, though I'm loosing hope.
