    this user in question.

    So it began I was selling my overwatch account and messaging someone in a different thread, he comes along and offers me $67 in BTC (as that's all he has), sounds good. We exchanged skype information.

    We continued I agreed to go first and he would pay after , I gave the details of the account and then I requested the BTC amount. He states he sent 'more than I asked for because he made me wait so long and I got it to diamond rank while I was waiting' so he sent me '$87' instead.

    okay, he said it showed as 'sent' straight away, although I no BTC is rarely if ever instant, my side was still showing pending. (previous I done a BTC trade and it took 3-4 hours before I received it). I ask for proof he sent it , he first sends me a screenshot showing the amount he 'said' he sent but it has a 'buy' button next to it ... I queried this with him then he sent a second screenshot apparently showing the transaction history and the amount sent. (not once did I see anything that showed the BTC was 'sent') and the screenshots were no bigger than 1 line of typing across this screen. (red flag)

    So I waited , and waited . 7-8 hours later it comes back declined. for the amount I asked for.

    I get called out as a scammer etc etc because once it was declined obviously I claimed my account back - within good reason, I was messaging him for 10 hours before he replied when I seen it decline.

    so I sent him a FULL screenshot showing my request for the original amount he offered and showing the decline. he argues and says I photoshopped it , i offered to do a sharescreen but declined. I asked him to show a full screenshot rather than just a tiny strip screenshot, and he refused . saying it has too much personal information on there and he 'cba' to black things out. (red flag)

    anyways he now blocked me on skype after I said iv reached out to the company to find out exactly how much , if anything was sent to what I requested.

    I do have the full conversation log recorded if needed along with the screenshots he sent to me and what I sent to him. (let me know)

    Regards
