I wanted to buy some YAC, and Oldsport gave me an offer of 5.5BTC per k YAC. He told me he is a trustworthy one by giving me a web of trust link for reference (http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=oldsport).

I was too careless that I trusted him and send him 15.599+ BTC for buying 28363 YAC, with the following transaction:
https://blockchain.info/tx/3816f40c21fcbab2c63fce34830f36bc5e5ce395a79c4a33a1ba5632cebad5ce

my YAC address is Y6esKzen4ZRgemm1egkb5EdWJVFKgM6P56,
Until now, I haven't receive any payment.

However, he has showed up before I wrote this scam accusation in this thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=201003.0

I'll try to take some snapshots of the pms and upload them. Admins can check if they are true.

No, you are not trusted by theymos so like me your "trust" is irrelevant.  Kind of ironic that the trust system doesn't actually do anything unless you are one of the elite board warriors.  Tomato's tag made oldsport disappear.  My pleading with theymos for more than a month amounted to nothing.

I'm on DefaultTrust, and anyone who has the default trust depth of 2 will see my rep as trusted, lol. It isn't irrelevant  Tongue

Yeah, unless it's a very big scam. Trust is supposed to take over now.
