EDIT: for some reason my post didn't post properly - got an error message, well here it is (sorry I had to repost, my tread wasn't working).

Right, so this was the first time ever trading on Sythe, I can't say I expected it to go well from the beginning.

The original thread (listing the account):

http://sythe.org/showthread.php?p=10952818#post10952818

The users listing the account is called: M 3 R K 3 D

I know know the name of the account for sale, it's called: Bridge

I will be reporting the account for RWT.

Look it up in the Hiscores, you'll find it has the same stats.

I offered to go first because of his vouches, I assumed the transaction would be a smooth one. I naively also assumed that only the minority in this community are scammers - I'm either wrong, or am very unlucky. Obviously this vouching system doesn't work very well - This community could possibily benefit by employing an Escrow System: Suppose that's what the MM's are for, just a thought.

Here is a screen shot of the skype convo between him and I:

and here is a screen shot of my paypal account, showing the $65 being payed to his e-mail address:

And now, here is the quote from his thread, explaining that I did not buy the account:

Also - to add salt to the wound, he kept me up waiting until 4am GMT - which is my time zone and I've been wanting to get to bed for ages. I'd like the see this scumbag banned and it would be nice to see him lose his account, but hey - doesn't look like I'm going to be trading again on here.

I can finally go for a smoke and go to bed now.

PS: I'm unsure if the screenshots are as they are suppose to be - I can provide fully uncropped ones if needs be.

Here is his actual skype username:

I can't believe some people, I really can't.

More evidence, clearly indicates the paypal transaction:

You can see here he claims that you were talking to an impostor and that it was not his Skype you were trading with:

But I barely had to scroll through his posts to find this:

He is banned now. I am sorry for your loss, please don't let it deter you from trading on this site. Review the market stickies & guides, use an MM, request a PM etc - there are many things you can do to avoid being scammed in the future.
