I did not realize someone could get a scammer tag even if they attempted to scam someone else. I always thought the scam had to be committed and someone lost bitcoins or some other valuable resource.

If EskimoBob made an intentionally false or misleading statement, with the intent to "scam" me out of 9 bitcoins (9 shares of YARR) then I think that's proof enough. No I didn't lose bitcoins in this particular instance, because the scam was caught before I paid him. The question now is, did he have an intent to scam me, or is it some simple mistake on his or Nefario's end? This is the evidence I have presented:

1. EskimoBob has publicly claimed I owe him 9 bitcoins (9 shares of YARR) and has made this a large issue in his claims against me. Ok, I agree, it's an issue. That is true. 9 bitcoins is actually a lot of money.
2. EskimoBob has publicly shown he has issued a claim on the GLBSE.
3. I have received a list of the people who have issued claims on GLBSE pertaining to YARR.
4. EskimoBob is not on this list.

There MAY be a reason for this. You and I discussed one possible reason. However, if what you said is true, that EskimoBob did not return a double payment sent by Nefario, this is even worse. It says that EskimoBob has already received his claim from Nefario and, in full knowledge of this, is attempting to double-dip/scam me out of 9 bitcoins.

Of course, we don't know what is going on, and if this is the case I would be more than willing to grant EskimoBob the time required to a) return the double payment to Nefario b) Nefario release EskimoBob's details to me.

Until I see EskimoBob's e-mail and bitcoin address in an official document from GLBSE or Nefario, it appears that EskimoBob has tried to scam me. What other asset issuers has he attempted to scam? This is important; If EskimoBob cannot expain this, we need a scammer tag for someone like this so he does not defraud other people.
