Surprisingly you bought a product from a known scammer where he had multiple red tags trusted and untrusted. He doesn't have even single positive feedback on his trust wall. You bothered to leave feedback after got scam, but you hadn't bothered to read his feedback before sending funds. You deal from a thread that is self-moderated where 20 posts by 12 users have been deleted.

Sorry for your loss, but your title is quite funny. Newbies are more dangerous than a high ranked user. Scammer always is scammer, doesn't matter what is his/her rank. Just make sure you are using escrow services before dealing with someone untrusted person.
