AllForAltCoin PMed me and offered to sell me XCP.

I should have caught on to some clues and realized it was a scam but I fell for it. Thankfully, I used coinguard.org so I'm only out 1% (about $13)

Here is proof he tried to scam me:

He really wanted to use this escrow service. I assume its setup just for scamming people:

Definitely don't trust any buyer who wants to use a particular escrow service that charges 0 fees and is hosted on a free web-host.

Have not made a deal with this user, but can confirm I was going to sell him a $100 Amazon gift-card and http://www.btcescrow.co.nr/ was recommended. Same user (AllForAltCoin) and today as well.

This 'escrow service' is hosted on wix.com

The domain is just masking this URL:

http://btcescrow.wix.com/qualityservice

Anyone scammed by this guy can report the abuse here:
