Basically it was supposed to be a trade, My Instagrams @coil and @tortoise for his Instagram @faux (which I was getting for my IRL) he agreed to swap @faux to a fresh account for me after receiving and securing both instagrams.
I gave him both accounts, he secured them both and put his link to his Instagram @faux in the bio of both accounts, then attempted to sell them on his Instagram story without giving me @faux. (The fact that he put his link to @faux in the bio shows that he didn't intend on swapping it at all.)

Its been over an hour and he's now gone offline without holding up his end of the deal.
This would be a deal dispute, however he poorly secured the Instagram accounts so I was able to recover them through my emails.
Just putting this up to warn anyone else in case he is attempting to scam out, or thinks he can get away with scamming for small things. Either way, kids are broke, lol.

Keep in mind that a "small amount" is relative. Glad this didn't end up in the disputes section.
