What do y'all think, did I get scammed? I'll give the guy another 12 hours before I declare him as a scammer.
~snip~
He has been offline at Bitcointalk ever since I sent him the BTC. He seemed to have a lot of successful trades from some senior members around, that's why I went first in the trade.
So... what do y'all learn from this?

Its possible they were just using the old transactions to build up reputation, then using that reputation to scam you, since it was clear no one was profiting off of those transactions as mentioned in the OP, also most of the trust he gained was from sending first, and you allowed him to send second, which was probably didnt help
That is something nobody really noticed before.
They(the member user) had always sent first. So in the previous trades no one thought their account was trustworthy enough for them to even consider to go first. Yet they offered to use escrow on their trading thread.
I dont know why raja didnt opt to go through with the trade in this route.

I wouldnt be surprised if they blame it on covid19 for immediately going offline and disconnecting from telegram as soon as they received the bitcoins.
