Possible Scam by UID 2736551 / Not Completing Deal - Lukas - Sep 24, 2017
So this user, Lexxi. contacted my partner and I to complete some psychology coursework on top of a few additional assignments. My partner, Emily Brontë completed the work asked of him. In return for his efforts and assignment completion, he was given $20 PayPal, when the original agreement was $40. I don't have much proof because this POS deleted the chat logs, but I'll provide what was once a conversation between myself and the possible scammer.

Partner logs:
Will be updated very soon.
The user contacted the both of us with a different account than this one. I found this account by Googling the Skype as seen here:

Which provides us with this link:

I ask all of my clients and potential clients to link their HF profile before dealing so I know who I'm working with, any one of my previous customers can vouch for this. I don't expect for Lexxi to complete our deal and by the looks of it, she's not active anymore, but for sellers on here, BEWARE.
If a user with the Skype
chronicle_graalcontacts you, DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM.

Their last visit was 07-05-2017 04:27 AM, have you or your partner been in contact with them before?
If not then that could mean they have another account.

That's what I'm assuming. The link to their additional(?) account was linked in Skype, but as shown, was deleted. I'm waiting for my partner's response in regard to whether or not he possesses the other account's UID.

I've had some success in the past recovering conversations with this tool: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/skype_log_view.html - might be worth a shot.

Any idea if it'll work on web or not?

Don't think so, it extracts data from local Skype files.

I'll check in with my partner to see if his conversation was on Skype's desktop app or not. Me personally, I use Skype for web when it comes to business.
