I Pm'd him requesting to buy bitcoins using Paypal and that he skype me. We talk on skype and I said I would be willing to send Paypal as a gift first only after verifying that he says who is actually is and facebook friends me so I can verify. The facebook had about 800 friends on it and seemed legitimate so I went to believe that this was an actual person.
His paypal email address was actually a .edu address (
Toni_Nichols@mail.msj.edu ) which I sent the payment to.
After this is all done and I feel that he is trustworthy, I sent him $258 on paypal using the gift payment to show that I will not chargeback. I started getting nervous after he said he sent it but I could not see the 2 bitcoins I bought coming to my address in the block chain. I told him to show me the address that he sent it from but got no response.
I am lucky that I did not buy the "18 btc" that he advertised on the forum. Will be much more careful next time sending paypal payments and will only trust those on the forum with very good reputation. WATCH OUT FOR THIS GUY.
