Skelder (kwood.rowood skype) is a scammer! AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!

[Dailydose1]

What happened::
I saw skelder's post for gift cards 20% and contacted him via skype (please see images below). He was very willing to talk and had vouchers on his post. I foolishly sent him originally $40 btc for a 200 amazon giftcard. He then contacted me saying he only had a $360 gift card and I needed to send additional funds to get that one as the $200 card was out. I sent the additional amount and then completely stopped hearing from him. He will not respond to any messages and keeps deleting my posts on his topic and will not respond. He is a scammer.

You are a dumbass for:
1) Not checking his feedback.
2) Not using escrow.
3) Trying to buy a $200 gift card for $20.
4) Sending a scammer more money after he gives you a story.

Lock this thread.  Anyone with half a brain wouldn't deal with that guy.  His trust page is so red, it's almost infrared.  Maybe that's why you missed it.

All the moderators are greedy scammers, and actually I guess they are doing this by creating fake profiles
Even after submitting proof, that scammer is not banned, he's still bumping his thread daily

No they are not.

The amount of scammers on this forum makes it almost impossible for moderators to ban every single scammer. plus if you ban them then it will only mean less motivation to pay you back, less trails that they are going to have for you to track them down.

The trust rating system is there for a reason. if you don't check it then you're wasting this resource.

I can see that you got scammed by him as well. And i'm sorry. But you should have checked his trust rating as he has already been tagged by DT members for dodgy or scammy behaviour already, it's not like you're the first victim.
