Going forward I recommend to you conducting all forum member loan-associated business on the forum. As you might have figured out by now, it would have been much more transparent had you performed the address verification bit in the loan thread where it was available for public inspection.
Yes, I too prefer dealing here on the forum itself to keep the deals public and open to all if any problem occurs later. But in this case both of us wanted to exchange some images to confirm the address which was pretty easy to deal with on telegram than through forum. So I preferred contacting him on telegram and later confirmed it on the forum.
But I will try to keep all the trade related conversations on the forum in the future. Thank you for your advice by the way.
