You are saying that the member scammed you, I think we should listen to that member's side also. Because there is a lot to discuss in this matter, it is clear from a post of that member. If you have any more proofs please share them here, so that everything becomes clear and the member can be called a scammer.

How can he achieve the truth if users, using their authority, accused him of scam? Even if he sends all the evidence, they will yell that he is a scammer, just like they did to me

There is not enough evidence to prove that the member is actually a scammer. It doesn't seem worth arguing with you, because the state of your profile makes your reputation irrelevant. I would like to know if the OP actually sent the funds or not, because I have doubts about the op after seeing @alterra57's post. So more discussion is important.

Your case was, you were trying to sell some coin that does not worth $1 against USDT. So clearly you were intentionally trying to scam people. There are no point to yell. You need to learn to move on.

Can you sign one of the input address of the tx? This will prove that the coin were sent from your wallet.

Reading your conversation, I am going to tag the accused party. I hope they come and defend in their support.

He himself admitted to scam - read for yourself:

Deon has sent me 500 USD worth of Bitcoin and I believe he is trying to gain my trust with his second account so he can play in the higher leagues.

Please don't! If you read the other thread started by alterra57, you will realize who is the real scamper here.

I'll just comment on this:
OP, from the screenshot you posted, in one of your replies you said this: "Give me proof  it's me and take money I m not dsadsa and I don't know who is this".
I'll give you a proof. This is the transaction ID sent by dsadsa: https://mempool.space/tx/c306113746b9cf78d6823ee75260ad311d612f0ae3c145207bccf71b2fdb5e44

The coins were sent to this address: bc1qtey6w27temcjdsv5uaglfa97d3a56flfv6w7eh which was used as input in the transaction you shared as proof of payment (it's your address)

So, can you explain why someone you don't even know who he is (sdasda) sent you $500 worth of bitcoin?

After finding out the connection I do not think Deonnn should have an answer. I am going to remove the tag from alterra57 and will request him to send the difference back. As I assume he received higher amount than the amount Deonnn / his alt wanted to scam.

@alterra57, sorry bother for misunderstanding.

Should I send the difference back or punish this little scammer for what he did? I cannot be the first victim, nor the last one. I think I'll send 50 USD to khaled0111 and donate the rest to an animal shelter or something.

Now you're going to use the stolen money to buy beer for your friends? Return $500 immediately!

He himself admitted to scam - read for yourself:

You will not get any good results by trying this. Because the Op did something that if proven would get the tag on the op's own account. If alterra57 has withheld the op's funds even after receiving the funds, that's something to think about. It is important to discuss information from both sides here. Because if op has sent funds and alterra57 refuses to return his funds then he must be tagged by community members. So waiting is a good move now.

OP was connected to the scammer, the "extra" funds that he sent he sent to gain my trust and scam a lot more in the future from me. That or something went wrong and he couldn't double spend like with the previous account. His money will be donated.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Should I send the difference back or punish this little scammer for what he did?

Yes you should. Because you are not a scammer like him. After deducting the amount he scammed you, the rest are his money not yours. So, from moral point of view I will suggest you to send the money back to his wallet and move on. His account is already tagged so at least from this account he can not do any trade.

I see, right now I'm 100% sure the money he sent me he scammed from someone else so I have decided to donate those money to an animal shelter (I love cats). If I send the coins back to him he will keep on doing what he does best, scam people out of their hard earned money.

There are no problem if you donate money that your own but it's not your own (remaining). Technically it's his money so if I was you then I would return the difference back. I don't need to care where from the money came. That's his business.

You have no evidence that he is the same person! He believed you - and made a deal, and you robbed him! Now all your friends, including BitcoinGirl.Club, are screaming that you are honest, and he is a scammer
