What happened::
This guy scammed me fore $350. I needed a payment provider who would support kratom. Cruguy offered a 2checkout account solution that would be linked to fake website, since kratom is against their TOS. I talked to him on the phone through skype and he sounded very knowledgeable about the subject and how it would work. Our business was down, since PayPal cancelled us and took most of our money since kratom is against their TOS(not sure why its considered "high risk" anyway). We couldn't accept payments, so our business was down. We were desperate and sent him the money through Bitcoin.
He kept leading me on giving me updates for a while. Then when it came time to give me the account there was a problem. The guy selling the account had $600 in the account, but needed a US Bank to withdraw the money, since his US partner left. I was to pay another $300 for the balance. I would get the account and the $600 in the account. This is when I knew almost certainly I was being scammed. I said I couldn't send anymore money and he went into a trust thing, so I said send me the account I will deposit the money and after it clears I will send the $300. Of course now he said we could no longer make a deal. This went on for a day or two where he said he only needed $95 now and he would use his own money. I said I couldn't do it and he said he would refund my money. But it would take 4 days, since it took time to come out of his bitcoin account and put it back in. He stopped responding on the 3rd day and it is now 5 days.

Additional Notes:
I advise no one to deal with this guy. I probably won't get my money back, but hopefully I can help someone else out in the future. In hindsight I should have done more research on him and only dealt with someone with more reputation. Please do the same no matter how desperate you are to get your business back up and running or whatever you need.
