What happened:: Bought ASIC for $2K from him a week ago. Everything went fine. Was buying 2 more for a total of 0.3BTC using Escrow. To get the miners faster this time (and since I though he was honorable) I paid 0.15BTC upfront. Stupid, but I thought I could trust him. He then started sending the PM's saying he never sent me the wallet address for payment etc..etc.. (His account has NOT been hacked as PW was not changed nor his email, I check everytime with people I deal with). Right away, he blocked me from PM-ing him also. Definite SCAM and will be pursuing on multiple paths, since I have his original address in CA from where the first ASIC was sent from. (Delete)

Additional Notes: AFTER I started posting negative feedback and on his marketplace ads, he changed his email and password.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that nobody ever deal directly without ON-FORUM Escrow unless the seller has high trade history and forum status.
I have not gotten scammed fully yet, but this one got me. Congrats and I hope that that lousy 0.15BTC will make your life better. Pretty pathetic. LOL.
Anyways, another stupid thing, the scammer gave me their real address which I can not pass onto the San Leandro Police or DA.
The address I have for him/she/it is :
SONI SINGH
963 Manor Blvd
San Leandro
CA, 94579
