A small explanation of what happened:

when i sent the payment, he said: "oh i'm getting home.. give me 1 hour and i'll send you the btc", and i waited 2 hours... after that he said: "your funds are from hacked/stolen accounts... " my account got limited and sent me this image: http://www.upload.ee/image/5342572/skrill01.JPG , then he said that will contact skrill and that he can't even refund... after he said that he will give me the password if i don't believe.. then i asked for the password and he said that he will give me the teamviewer ID and pw... when i asked the pw and id he went offline and till now no answer..

I hope he just went offline by accident. But i don't think so.
Got scammed I'm really sad. A lot of money in the table.

Beware.

You said you would give me the teamviewer ID and PW.
Still waiting for that.

To be fair, I have had this happen to me once, although the error shown was not as vague.

I believe skrill has a blacklist of emails they flag, either based on country, or some other financial thing - For example, I once had a skrill account closed and my money refunded to my bank just for attempting to send 20 USD to someone in India from the USA. I don't see why that would be a problem, but apparently it was a big one, because they just closed my account for "TOS Violation" that they would not explain, and afaik, India was not on the list of blacklisted countries like North Korea etc... USA does business with India all the time?!

Corado, have you had problems with your skrill like this in the past, ever?

Edit .. This is not an unusual problem, apparently, and is resolvable -

IMO - Corado should get the funds into his bank eventually, even with skrill's help, and EVEN if they will not refund it to the other guy.

SO... Corado should (IMO) give him the btc when that eventually happens, at the already negotiated rate, if indeed this is not a doctored / fake error screenshot above about "GENERAL_ERROR"

This is sadly a good lesson in the risks involved for all about the large risks involved with using reversible and unreliable payment methods, unfortunately.

He has one positive feedback and it was left on 2014-06-06 and that was long time ago, maybe the account was sold after then, did you think about that? Next time be wise and use a trusted escrow to avoid this kind of situation.

Let's hope that you get your money back but I don't use Skrill, so don't know if this error is legit or not. Here's something you can do in meanwhile, contact Skrill and show them the error and explain to them that the recipient is saying his account is frozen and maybe the support can check the other account and tell you if this is real or fake.

Can't you do a chargeback? It actually is a shitty thing to do and it's why I don't buy/sell coins using any sort of ewallet money processors but it would be fair on this occasion since the other party is trying to scam you. I don't know if it is doable or not but I think I remember seeing a thread before where someone was in similar situation and was able to chargeback.
