What happened:: It really struck me by surprise as to how a relatively senior member would resort to scamming other members for an amount as small as 50 USD. With reference to the thread at
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1931799, wasubii contacted me and a Skrill to BTC exchange was agreed where I will be sending him 50 USD in exchange of BTC. He contacted me via private message and communicated his Skrill email ID and I sent the payment as agreed and shared my wallet address to receive the payment in BTC. He was quick at responding beforehand but as soon as the payment was sent via Skrill, he stopped responding to my private messages. To investigate further, i looked up his username on Bitcointalk and landed on a thread started by him where he had mentioned his Skype ID to be joel.g89, you can refer the thread here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1934844. I added him on my Skype, he responded initially but then refused to be wasubii when I referred to my pending payments and when I referred him to the thread where he has mentioned his Skype ID he initially did not reply and as at time of writing blocked me on Skype. Needless to say it is an outright scam, maybe wasubii is a different person altogether and his account has been hacked since I see that there is a notification in his bitcointalk profile saying his email address has been recently change but this is just a calculated guess and not something I know of, but nevertheless this person has scammed me and I am attaching evidence such that moderators could take necessary actions to ensure that he is unable to scam more members on these forums.

Payment Method: Skrill

Hope his account is banned on an immediate basis and it is very likely that the account has been hacked and he might try to scam other members using profile of that of a senior member.
