The user in question has some negative feedback and a warning on top of the post for guest yours and perhaps newbies. I would like to confirm if you are able to see this warning on top of his advert:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5292775AFAIK, this notification will appear when you are in a "Guest" mode, but when if your account is log in, the warning that you will see is the negative feedback under the user's profile name, including the flag that created by the DT members was a visible warning to all users that might be dealing with the said scammer's profile.
That's right, a lesson must learn, and next time, learn how to use escrow service upon dealing with random people on the internet.
Sorry for your loss and good thing you created this thread as a warning too.
By the way, I supported the flag.
