Scammer get scammed

Do you mean proof of ownership or proof of identity

If you read my threads  before replying you will understand what I have written.
I said proof of identity to be sure if I'm chatting with the same person I'm seeing on Facebook profile

After posting this thread (scammer get scammed) yesterday, I chatted him up telling him to send me proof of identity threatening him that is only way he can get his fund back but he couldn't prove it he didn't send me any, I even tried calling him video calls but he couldn't pick up, but do you guys know the funniest part of it he even called me with a Nigeria phone number but I returned his Etherume yesterday because I believe that anyone who keeps what belongs to a thief is also a thief and I don't want to be path of that word.
Thank you guys for your contribution and advice.

You have his money. Why would you be asking for proof of identity before sending it back? It’s not a case of a lost and found wallet. I hope you are saying the truth and did return his money? I would expect you would attach a screenshot of your conversation as proof. Btw out of curiosity, since this was a crypto transaction, can you add a transaction id of the $300 so we all can confirm.

if I really want to go away with the money I wouldn't have post this thread secondly I don't know how to post images I would love to proof and clear all doubts.

But to be honest with you guys I refund his Etherume not because I want to clear myself to you guys but because of my conscience. And I also believe what you did to others also comes back to you. I never want to be the reason why anybody cries.

I do not pass judgement on you. You can use upload the images on https://imgur.com/ or https://imgbb.com and paste the link here. There are plenty guides on how to post images on BitcoinTalk https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3974517
I also use a mobile phone and it works just fine.

The link you gave me is not opening on my phone secondly I don't use computer or laptop what I make use of is cellphone. And that brings me to the question can't someone upload images with cellphone.

Let's make a general conclusion. OP, you are a good storyteller. But if you put this story into reality, I want to add, since I see that you are quite young, take this as advice. No one is obliged to show you their documents, just like you. Who are you? What will you do with them in case of fraud? After all, your opponent can send you fake documents, and then what? Will it satisfy you?
Then, lie number two. You can't open a link on a mobile phone, a link to a forum, while you write that you are accessing the forum from a mobile phone?
I know one thing, this is not your first account, and you started badly. Forum doesn't like lies. Soon you will be convinced of this.

I was wondering how good Op can lie. I thought if maybe SatoPrincess sent a broken link, I had to click the link and it opened.
My advice to op is, if he/she has chosen the path of lies and fictions, he shouldn't relate his story to scam. Maybe he could lie with his life stories which no one would be interested to investigate.

Probably OP is looking to grow his merit count by proving his honesty maybe after getting inspired from EZ0010,

I will be happy if a scammer got scammed but what I can do js to spend the money come from the scammer side to someone who is in need like homeless kids meal or something like that.

I really wish you didn't have to give him or her any credit for this (@being a good story teller) as it was so cranky right from the beginning. OP even put himself or herself in a pit that would take proof in monetary terms to dig out from and I'll point it out. All OP has said so far is just theory without any transaction ID to verify if any of such transaction took place, no discussion update and being someone that works in an office, leads in a presentation, you should be in possession of some suffisticated device to see these through but in the end, we get just stories, stories that tends to divert attention from the obvious.

This should be an eye opener to beginners out there trying to come up with some story probably to earn merit, admiration for being smart maybe to own a busy thread. It could go south at times. We might live in different worlds and it might be difficult to decipher what is a lie and true but, users on the forum aren't fools. We might as well enjoy a good story but, this one was out of the box.

I'll end by saying @OP,  don't be the scammer you claim to detest! I don't see how you would hold back on a deal and later ask for identity documents without a proper means of verifying if it could be faked or not and you expect a stranger to hand it over. For all the stranger knows, you could back out still with his money and documents. The very thing the stranger was avoiding from using the listed exchange in your conversation. Scamming a scammer doesn't put you at right, it makes you the scammer!

Bad Joke!!!

No need to upload images and you don't have to prove anything as long as the scond party (the scammer) does not show up and start accusing you of withholding his money. Even in that case, tou can prove you sent his money back by providing the transactions IDs instead of images that can be faked.
Anyway, good to know you sent the money back. Next time, if you believe someone is a scammer just block him and don't waste your/his time.

[royalfestus]

For whatever reason, If you decided not to return the ethereum, I cant trust you either and does not prevent members of the forum to put negative trust on you. Two wrongs to make a right. How did u get to know he is a Nigeria? many African countries share this pidgin pattern that u may not be able to differentiate by writing.

[JangoUnchained]

You are simply trying to scam a scammer and behold, that money that he sent you must be from another victim too, taking such money is a blood money you are simply just like him, even if he can't prove that he isn't a scammer I would still send it back or call the police and tell them what happened, I will never eat such money.

[cheezcarls]

I think you should return the funds after the full verification and if it doesn't work. You should donate the funds to any helpful charity. I will prefer to send back to him.

If I were in the OP's shoes, I'll send the full amount back because I don't want to be a part of this "developing mess" without hesitation. You know why? Reputation and integrity to our names are much more expensive and valuable than the bank accounts or crypto portfolio we have nowadays.

And of course when a stranger wants to buy Bitcoin directly from me instead of an exchange or wallet, I am not comfortable with it unless he or she is my close friend whom I really trusted for a long time.

[Rengga Jati]

...I sent him my Etherume wallet and he made a deposit of $300 worth of Etherume. at the moment it was time for my presentation at the office so I went offline after the presentation I came online, I was seeing all sorts of pidgin local Nigeria insultive words...

If he/she is an exact scammer, it means that you're right, scammers will do anything to scam the victims, to ensure that they are real and not scammers. This may be one of the ways how they work. But, this is only probability. related to he is an Indonesia originally or not, it may be also a part of how they work. they may be disguised as anyone and any person, especially nowadays there are many tools and assistance to support their disguise.

But, aside from he is scammer or not, I do agree with these:

1. Send the amount back to the person by researching more about him or ask him for his ID verification or video verification if he wants the money back
2. Donate the amount to charity

The money is not yours, so If I were you, I will not keep the money to myself.

You'll be a great story writer if you do get a job from Hollywood.
Don't come here saying shit about Nigeria with no proper proof.
I know you'll be looking for a way to frame this up, why not cut the crap ?
Deal he is a scammer, so could you send him back he's money ?

see let me inform you, you can send the proof here if really you have return the funds, posting image is not only option to clarify yourself, because you know very well that you can't post image pictures that is while you are making reference of image posting as excuse, you can as well give us the link and the link will clarify your doubt and everyone who is interested can click to view exactly what you are claiming to be.

[coin-investor]

I have one question am I a scammer too or did I do  wrong by not sending him his Etherume back because after this incident my conscience has been beating me.
 stay safe.

Yes, you are the other guy must have a good motive when sending you he just wants to trade unless you have a proof that he is indeed a scammer by reading one bad report about him, in the first place if you think the guy is a scammer you should not entertain him.
Free yourself by refunding him you don't want to get tagged as a scammer, this guy has a reason to create a bad report about you for running away with his money, and your suspicion is not justified to scam him.

[Ahli38]

Fraud with a mode like this is often encountered. but I don't think it's that easy to believe that he's a swindler. I think need further research or verification first.
but if it turns out to be a fraud. I think it can be a lesson for him. and hopefully he gets tired of it.
and I'm worried about you I worry if the person is not a fraud. and he felt cheated. then I'm afraid he will report you to the court. I think there should be more research.

In the first place, How would you know that he is a scammer? Because in that situation, it turns out that you are a scammer, you're making a deal with someone who even sends you first. It is never an excuse if it is the time of your presentation, for sure there is a time for you to reply to him and make him aware of your situation.

It was a big mistake to trust strangers but if you are not really a scammer, you will send back his money and clear your reputation. Feel your conscience and do what is the best thing to do, for sure you know it and to prove that you are not a scammer.

Thank you guys for your contribution and advice.

A Nigerian guy trying to guy a Nigerian guy goes wrong. He got flamed up when his plans didn't work.
Is the scammer truly aware that you are a Nigerian before sending his Ethereum or telling you about crypto? Cause average Nigeria guy doesn't fall for scams easily. The mind of the scammer was to send you his Ethereum to gain your trust forgetting that Nigerians don't trust people easily when it comes to matters relating to money.
You did well by sending him back his Ethereum, to let him know that you can't make a living by going around scamming people's hard-earned money
