Description
Paddy created a thread selling Amazon Gift Cards (AGC) for 70-75% in exchange for BTC. I reached out and offered my $180 via BTC for $250 via AGC (72%). He agreed and due to him having more successful contracts at the time, I sent my BTC to his included address. The deal was entered on Thursday, January 31st, 2019.

I was on my way to work as I sent the payment, so he had about 9 hours to send the agreed upon AGC. I came home to him asking if different denominations were ok, I said yes, and didn't hear back for some time.

11 hours later, he mentioned that he didn't have the AGC and that his friend would be on in 1-2 hours to send the cards. That was the last response I've received from him, despite him constantly online browsing HF, his thread, my PM's inquiring about the lack of communication, and playing Counter-Strike via Discord.

Thought it was strange he just flat out stopped acknowledging his business deal but upon further investigation, I found he is no stranger to disappearing with other's funds. Two additional documented cases exist:

mehtevas for $50 - https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=5637664

I would appreciate him messaging me to sort this out and null the dispute, but figured I'd make a thread in the meantime. There's no ambiguity here, he just stopped responding and I'm just trying to finish the deal if the deal even existed.

Can vouch for RHCP. We spoke after I reached out to him since Paddy had a lot of outstanding contracts not yet completed. Paddy was talking to me simultaneously (attempting to scam for AGC) at the same time I was talking to RHCP; yet clearly refused to reach out to RHCP to fulfill his end of the deal. DWC.

Thanks man, appreciate reaching out. Hopefully, Paddy chooses this to finally respond to or proper action can be taken.
