What happened:

I made a post looking for Starbucks gift cards. I recieved a PM from Darkwinde saying to contact through skype. After negotiating user agreed to sell me $100 Starbucks for $50. Normally I'd use escrow but given their hero member account I stupidly agreed to send half first and half after. After sending the $25 the seller immediately stopped responding.

Additional Notes:

Apparently a new user is also accusing them of scamming. Not sure if it's credible or not, but I think it's likely that Darkwinde is PMing other users looking to scam them. Darkwinde's email has also been changed recently.
