Sorry that you got scammed. You should go to his trust page and create a casual or implied agreement flag against him so other people can support it. This will show a scammer warning on top of all his threads.

You have Telegram PM chat logs but these logs don't show a written contract.

done that, thank you!

That seller has been tagged & flagged  multiple times.  Did you see the big yellow box above his name when you logged in and the 7-8 red trusts under his name?

Probably he/she is not aware on how the trust system works. I supported the flag.

To the OP, sorry for your lost, yes, it's not that big amount, so next time just be very careful here. Just maybe because someone is offering, you can make a trade with them. Check their trust page first.

I'm curious about your account and your proof. The last seen from your proof is "within a week" so probably you have contact him around 1 week ago. But your account is registered today at 12:21:27 AM. I mean, how you can know @norot44 if you never use this forum before? or this your alt account?. I also didn't find your name in his thread http://loyce.club/archive/topics/523/5230067.html



Since @norot44 was got tagged by DT Member, we can't do anything unless ignoring him. Before trade with someone please check his reputation and use escrow.

Hm, are you sure that you made a flag? I can see  only the Type 1 flag  that was previously  created by  sandy-is-fine . NotATether  shared you the pic how to do it. For now I tagged this scammer and supported Type 1 flag.

Bunch of people make account here only after they got scammed, or possibly this is alt account and OP feels silly getting scammed from a known scammer. Either way he learned his lesson, and luckily it was not very expensive one.

Sadly a lot of people do not register accounts before trading with people in threads where they give their telegram handle, email address or website name. I have seen people create accounts only when they are scammed, to open a scam accusation.

Sadly you are incorrect.  That BIG YELLOW flag shows up when NOT logged in. That changed over a year ago for just the reason you incorrectly stated. You also need to realize (while it may NOT be the case here but just in general) many "scam complaints" are done by "competitors" and/or just for retribution (as I have experienced multiple times).  This case may very well be true but a lot of posts here are just fake retribution and or anti-"competition." That being said the tag was quite obvious and any buyer could have also provided a fake Google Play card as there are lots of them floating around.  NOROT44 is obviously a scammer but that wasn't the point.

This screenprint was when I was logged off:

Yea, but that big yellow "warning" should have been a hint. It kinda spells it out without any trust system knowledge needed.  When I see a RED STOP sign on the corner I don't need to know how the traffic control rules work.
