You willingly sent money to someone with 16 negative feedbacks from people already scammed by this person and now you act surprised that he actually scammed you as well? You fully deserve to be robbed of all your parents' pocket money, kiddo. Ask your parents to take you to a psychiatrist, there is apparently something very wrong with your brain.

I run a startup company and have a large AWS bill this month, so I was really hoping this was legit.

Now you degraded yourself down to the same level as this scammer. Of course you don't "run" any company, children are not legally competent and you won't be even when (if) you grow up given your recent actions. If you didn't intentionally and knowingly lied just now then you are delusional and really should be locked up in a mental institution asap as you are danger to yourself and the others.

Gotta say, this is a bit harsh man.

Yeah, he should have done more due diligence and used an escrow (or not dealt with someone with that many negative feedbacks at all), but telling the OP that he needs to be locked up in a mental institution is a bit over the top.

Anyway, to OP - sorry that you got scammed. Others have been scammed for much larger amounts, so consider this your "lesson" when dealing with people on the forum, and learn from it. Do your due diligence on respective trading partners. Either deal with someone trusted, use an escrow, or both. Good luck
