What happened: I posted a thread stating that I wanted to exchange my unregistered NetSpend card for BTC (
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1250471.msg12982460#msg12982460). The user "david fox" messaged me saying he wanted to do a trade along with his Skype name and that he was willing to do escrow (

When I looked into it, the site seemed legit (NOT saying its a scam, I just don't know about it personally since I haven't used it yet.) so he asked me for my email and BTC address respectively. It seemed normal and a few minutes later I received an email in my inbox that looked to be from BTCrow (

noreply@btcrow.com". Of course, the email was a phish, sent from some email spoofer.
Here is the Skype convo between me and him:

Additional Notes: As a side note, I have information that leads me to believe that is in fact an alternate account of the scammer known as "kamilora". PM me if you want proof. I also have some of his information, and I will be using it for personal revenge. This is a warning to you kamilora if you are reading this. Send me the 0.3312
BTC that you owe me or I will fuck you over. You're not as untouchable as you think you are, hiding in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, bud.
Also, I can provide any other proof needed upon request.
