DO NOT USE toxcoin.com, I ordered close to $500 worth of bitcoins from toxcoin.com, I used him in the past and haven't had any problems, until today.

I made a payment of $499.75 to txwa via payeer, he was online multiple times, bumping his thread and asking for a loan,but  he has not gotten back to my messages on bitcointalk or on his own website support.

I contacted payeer just to find out he had already withdrawn the $500. Luckily I was able to block the $500 payment coming out from my bank, meaning I won't lose anything.

So, the only advice I can give is avoid this useless pile of shit and his site at all cost.

This would explain why he scammed for as little as BTC0.02 on this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1016191.0
It seems from the beginning he planned to get a reasonable amount of trust just to commit several scams at the same time :/
I'm sorry to say there's no hope for you to get your money back.

I guess when you deal he didn't have any negative feedback yet? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=406984
Regardless of that you should always use a trusted escrow.

The money that I deposed was never removed from my bank account, meaning that I won't really lose anything as the payment was blocked by my bank after I reported fraud.
The only people that will be losing money is payeer which doesn't make things any better.

Do I need to contact a mod to get him banned? And yeah he didn't have any negative feedback and I had done a previous transfer of $400 with him.

Mods don't ban people for scamming. However the feedback left in his profile by several trusted people should prevent him from dealing here anymore (at least with that account). Please post the proof you have just so that there's no doubt (screenshots, chat logs, PMs).
It would also help if you post clues to try and find possible alt accounts of him. BTC addresses or emails that you're 100% sure belong to him would help.

The fact that mod's don't ban scamers makes them useless.

As for the proof here's a screen shot of the payment. http://postimg.org/image/pmctfn76r/
the who.is for the http://who.is/whois/http://toxcoin.com the site was created on December 30 2014, which should have been a red flag.
I don't know if I want to take the time to completely find out who he is,

He did make another thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1017245.msg11019961#msg11019961 which just shows how shit this site really is when it comes down to security and getting rid of shit users.

It is simple : the staff doesn't involve in any "scam accusation" they are not judges and this is a forum not a law court. If it seems a scam doesn't sign up, you should no trust no one.

Besides it's impossible to enforce. With the usage of VPN any ban can be bypassed. Effectively leaving trusted negative feedback on someone's profile almost bans that account from trading.
OP if you want to prevent more people from being scammed you should share all the information you have of the scammer.

I've reported TXWA's new thread so it's moved to services and his negative trust can be seen immediately (it's on Beginners now where it's not shown unless his profile is opened).

It isn't a scam accusation when there is plenty of proof and it's not just me, and no asked them to be judges but in every other forum I use mods ban scammers.
And most forums have some type of "shit" list where banned users go.

No I don't think this is the right decision to resolve the problem, I have heard they don't ban the scammer users because they (scammer) may repay all the other users. So the unique way is : give them a negative trust and stop. You can try to "ask" the scammer if he will give you back the money (in some cases it worked).

No point of asking for it back lol, it never did leave my bank account because payeer was a bit to slow in taking the money out and I got the payment blocked.
but I'm surprised they don't shut down any of his threads advising his site.

So I'm happy for you, this is only a "report" and I hope no one will use again "his exchange". I don't trust him from the beginning, and luckily I have never used it.
