Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

I don't think you are going to get your money back unfortunately. IMO it should have set off a red flag when he agreed to deal in a small amount and then demanded that you send more to get a larger deal done.
You really should have used a trusted middle man (escrow) to prevent this kind of thing from happening, the cost is very little and will give you great protections.

Yes, you're totally right. Lesson learned. I know I lost my money, but I intend this thread to be a warning for other people. I don't think I am the first to be scammed by this guy. It's weird that I couldn't find any other accusations, taking in consideration that his account was created more than a year ago. |

I have given him negative trust so he shouldn't be able to scam from that account again. The account was not used very much, so the most likely result is that he was not able to successfully able to find someone who he was able to scam. |

I had contacted him earlier to buy my skrill but fortunately he denied me as the amount was very small and in any case, I never send first. He only accepts large amounts which looked suspicious and he turned out to be a scammer.

Sorry for your loss. I was told that Skrill can be charged back. Can't you file for it?
Maybe if you present all the information, they might seize his account?

You can only reverse transactions via Skrill if the cash was loaded from a stolen CC else there is no way it could be reversed unlike PP. |

Hello. Are you sure? I understand that Skrill don't do chargebacks, and besides of that, they have an anti-bitcoins related transactions policy. What do you know about this? I'm afraid of they cancelling my account if I do any claim. |

Dont mention that you didnt receive bitcoin, tel them it was supposed to be something else. Dont mention any kind of currency exchange you were dealing with. Make up a story, anything u do will be good enough since scammer probably wont deny anything. The worst thing u can do is to run away from what happened doing nothing. cheers |

Well, the scammer now has lots of negative trust. But it's no big deal to him - he just walks away from this account and makes another one with no problems. Always use escrow.  |

Yes, he will just buy another account and scam 2-5x value of purchase of the account, rinse and repeat; and then people are not clear as to why i am against allowing account re-selling here on forum.. cheers |

You might unfortunately have to lie about the transaction . You could either claim it was for a physical product, and ask for proof of delivery. http://help.skrill.com/en/Article/business/chargebacks-and-disputes/dispute-chargebackAnother thing you might as well try, which people usually do with Paypal, is claim your account was hacked, and request a chargeback. I am not sure which one would be better to do though. |

I have been scammed too the same way, I sent one scammer 50 USD and he told he is from https://www.changer.com/. After that he demanded another 50 USD to sent his client. This is a TREND of Scammers |
