[b][color=black]Story: [/color][/b]
I saw escrow.ms's lolipop thread 4 days ago and placed a order for 1000 lolipops. After I sent him payment, he just went offline and never came back. I think he's a big liar and a scam artist. Stay away from him.

[li]Use sites like https://imgur.com to upload images and https://pastebin.com or http://pastie.org for text based chat logs, although these may not be treated as good proof due to possible fakes.[/li]

[li]Make sure to provide as much as info you have, like the payment address, instant messenger ID's, etc.[/li]
