I bought my first 0.1 btc about 30 minutes ago and the seller just messaged me saying his bank is down at the moment so he cannot check my payment.
Just think it is a little shady, what do you think?

Probably yes you're. Whom did you send your payment? Did you use escrow service or etc? Or you just trusted some of a guy? |

I never experienced in many years of online banking that the site was down. What was the username of the scammer? Maybe try a trustworthy exchange next time  |

It looks like you got scammed and i am afraid you just lost your $30.
Since this is your first post, i assume you didn't ask for any help here...
But the least you can do is to post the seller's username.

Its happened with me many time I couldn't access my account in these situations. But the thing is who was the buyer?? Did you use escrow? Please keep those things in your mind when you are going to exchange your money Thanks |

Best advice I can give you:
Don't trust anyone. Always use an escrow.

People often try stall you with excuses like this when they're scamming you so yes, likely you've been scammed. You should always use escrow for deals like this. Please provide more details of the transaction here (user ID, transaction ID, PMs etc) or open a scam accusation with all the info in the Scam Accusation forum.

Most likely you have deceived. Neither you the first nor the last one. |

No one can tell you if you've been scammed or not with the little information you have provided.
First thing we need to see is some proof that you even sent him a payment.
Was the deal worked out via email or some forum, if so provide copy of post.
Is the seller still talking with you, or has he gone quite?

Not a paid signature, just added to promote Bitcoin.com |

Where and who did you buy the bitcoin? Localbitcoins? bitcointalk users?
It is possible he is telling you the truth, but the chance is low TBH.

The chances of you being scammed is quite high.
Please let us know of the user who has scammed you
if he is on the forum.
If not still try and leave a profile link from somewhere else.

Why would you send money to someone's bank without using escrow? I think as all people suggested you were scammed and please let us know who it was and also provide proofs of the bank transfer etc.

Because normal bank transfers are actually more safe than crypto transfers (=it's not anonymous so it's easy to press charges against somebody). |

Will the police really do something for you when you tell that you have just lost $30? I haven't gone through this procedure before luckily, and is curious about that. |
