Random user registers on this forum then announces site and project then takes money and lastly doesn't respond/refund.
People please use escrow if there are trust issues with new members.
You're right, it is pretty stupid. It was my first transaction with bitcoin, that wasn't an obviously real company (I've bought stuff through legit companies before). I definitely wouldn't have done it without escrow if it was a large sum of money. I can deal with losing $50, but it's just annoying getting ripped off by scumbag scammers.
