He/She seems sweet and energetic, and he asked to buy some coins by Paypal.

I agreed to start with small amounts, until a bond of trust is established and I can supply more.

I said to provide 0.074BTC and he said he'll pay instantly on Paypal, and he asked me to pay first and that I should check his Trust Status.

I went on there and read some 4 or 5 positive reps and felt safe to trade with him/her, and I sent the transaction to the address he/she supplied, and that was verified instantly on BlockChain from here:

https://blockchain.info/address/1NNKk39HM9nwCY98LLTSNpShE1odq4oxcv

My transaction can be seen specifically from here:

https://blockchain.info/tx/5ca53e8092cf249fb6aeb23d3cabb611093dfa23400439c9261b1dd8092e2556?show_adv=true

The Fraudster https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=93190 -- BTCTools -- disappeared right after I sent him the coins, and I kept PMing him/her for hours, then he/she got back to me after a long while and apologized and said the electricity went down in their area, and he/she asked to send him a Paypal Payment request to this email:

vlasharov@bk.ru

I kept PMing him/her for a whole day, and although I see him/her online, still no response to the moment.

I bet he/she was looking for someone else to scam.

Here are some of his/her PMs:

BTC-e USD rate sounds fine?
(0.074 = 50$)

What is you'r PayPal account?

And my wallet address is :
