Did you confirm the address you copied from skype before hitting send. Just throwing this out there to doublecheck your system to ensure you didn't pick up any malware that replaces addresses, always best practice.
In the future a good practice is to copy the message and respond to them to confirm the address, this way you can definitely prove that you sent to the right address and no one can edit your reply.
Can you post your txid? At least this way some people can try and piece things together if there is anything to find and prove.
Yes, I did confirm the address before sending, because I sent me the address and amount per telegram so I can send the ETH via my phone wallet and then checked it again so I didn't miss a character during copying.

So there you can see he sent the original message at 21:29 and changed it at 21:36.
If we look now when I sent my message "Is sending"...

"amsreferences": null
},
.. you can see that I sent it at 21:34. That means he changed his message afterwards.
I can send a moderator the skype download link to proof that I've not changed something, but I will not publish this here publicly because there are all of the other messages in there too.
EDIT: I saw now that I can't send the skype download link because you have to be logged in for that. But I will find another way to get the file to the moderator with a proof that I didn't change anything.
