So what you are saying is that you will have a revenge to him? Because he tricked you a $500 so you will trick him too to get your money back? And you are finding an escrow then you will have a conspiracy with each other so you will trick him right? I think if I was scammed I might do that also bu I think just by putting a negative trust on that person will do. Just sayin' Anyways, next time use an escrow if you are having a transaction with someone. There are lots of legitimate escrows here in the forum.
