1.Post proper proof of transactions if you paid by bitcoins,you know transaction id.
2.You could have read the untrusted feedback left on his profile which clearly states he is a scammer.
3.He is another newbie throwaway account.Tagging him just won't make any differences until people stop being stupid.
4.I do feel sorry for your loss and disappointed by your carelessness.Hope you learned your lessons.

It think the problem is that the OP didn't get paid, therefore no TX. No idea why the OP decided to send first to a scammy newbie without escrow.

And 0.15 BTC for a $100 GC should have been a massive red flag. Greed is blind I guess.

Sir do not accuse me of being greedy I do not run around here saying stuff about you! No, I was trying to get bitcoins in a hurry without crazy prices that most of you fools charge! So unless you have something useful stay off my post thank you. 

Not sure why I wasted my time to fill this bullshit out if all people do is talk shit, and no there was no bad feedback until today...get your facts right.  Yes, I did look around and see the post he was one, etc. seemed right, but yeah I got fooled.  He was posting and selling ok, so I took a gamble and should not have. 

No, I never got the bitcoins, he took the card and ran as in most people on this forum no days full of hacks and scammers not sure why I wasted my time. 

I did this post of others to see what he did.

Speaking of which,he has the 'power' to negative rep the account but since you're asking him to stay away from your post..I guess he shouldn't..

What do expect us to do ?

You gambled ? That is not even gambling,just being lazy or careless or both.

No, I never got the bitcoins, he took the card and ran as in most people on this forum no days full of hacks and scammers not sure why I wasted my time. 
Point is,you learned your lesson.Move on..

Nothing at all, did I ask for you to to do anything?

No, This post was to help other not get scammed by him shit...noting more.  I do not need people telling me I am a dumbass and shit like that as both of you basically did.  Not sure how you even have the rep you do with talk like that. 

Get your facts right.  Yes, I did look around and see the post he was one, etc. seemed right, but yeah I got fooled.  He was posting and selling ok, so I took a gamble and should not have. 
Did you gamble ? That is not even gambling, Point is,just being lazy or careless or both.

So really now I get called lazy and careless...so many words I could use but will not.  Yes I did take a chance on what I thought was a good deal for both parties with what i could see and with the info I had.

No, I never got the bitcoins, he took the card and ran as in most people on this forum no days full of hacks and scammers not sure why I wasted my time. 
The point  is,
you learned your lesson.Move on..

I have moved on right after i did it, my beef is with you to calling me names and bad mouthing me.

I haven't called you any bad names and certainly not remotely interested in beefing with you.Being lazy or stupid could be a part of human nature and I don't think that it should be taken offensively.I call myself stupid over so many things I fuck up on daily basis.

Well, thank you for the warning, it's not a waste of time if it prevents someone else from being scammed.

I do stand by my opinion though. Even if the perp didn't have neg trust at the time of your transaction - he/she was still a noob without ANY trust and there is no possible justification to go first with a $100 GC. That's not a gamble, that's a gift.

Having said that - stupid shit can happen to anyone, what we learn from it is what matters.

Huh. From what I see, you're the one talking shit.
You were offended by the 'greed' bit? You don't see something off with trading $100 for .15 btc?

"No, I was trying to get bitcoins in a hurry without crazy prices that most of you fools charge!"
If we were to go with 1:1, $100 in bitcoin would be .08 - .085 , that's nowhere near the .15 you were trading for.

Also, according to your screenshots, your deal was on the 22nd, and from his trust page, he had red trust since the 22nd.
Then, either it was already there and you missed it, or he got it right after your trade.

Anyway, it's great that you were willing to warn others.
