Sadly this forum has it's scammers so always and always get a MM before making a deal with anyone. No matter how trusted the member seems to be.
Also thanks for the warning - always great with people looking out for the community.

15% I believe.
I've not gotten my 425$ in BTC yet, Becuase we did some Cash thing so first he needs to go to his bank and pick up the cash or something before he pays my BTC

No problem, Shame his account isn't closed yet.
Going to message a few of the staff to get his account closed asap

Thank you for your warning. I think scamming is wrong. I left a reputation on the members profile in attempt to try to warn other potential victims, and to prevent this abuse from happening again by letting that member know I think that scamming is wrong!

Don't deal with him, there are lots of scam reports against him here.
