Yes, he scammed me out of $150
Yes, I failed by not using escrow. I'm already so pissed off as it is that this asshole would steal from me please I don't need anyone's lecture.
I was nice to the guy, patient and i'm an innocent victim who made the mistake of not using escrow.
I don't want anyone's sympathy, but I would like to see this asshole Der Tod get what he deserves ... at the very least ban him or leave him -ve trust anyone/everyone.
This forum is full of good people and is a fantastic resource but why does there always have to be one person who has to ruin it by robbing an innocent guy and then rubbing his face in it? *sigh*
Take it as a hard lesson and understand the importance of using escrow in the future. Hopefully the amount you lost is not a lot for you.
There is a good amount of money that can be made if you trade honestly and if you are selling something of quality. You will end up spending a good amount of time with scammers wasting your time though unfortunately.
