Posted in Bitcointalk that he was selling Antminer S7 coupons. PMed him and also Skyped him on his ID chemyboyfat.
Claims he had 3x 100 USD coupons and 2x 200 USD coupons.
Bought a 200 usd coupon for 0.2 BTC and transferred money to him.
Immediately upon transferring, deletes me off Skype and goes offline on both bitcointalk and Skype.
No coupon sent in bitmain account.
I post back in the thread and then he closes and locks the thread and even claims that he had sent the coupons to me.
