Did you confirm the address you copied from skype before hitting send. Just throwing this out there to doublecheck your system to ensure you didn't pick up any malware that replaces addresses, always best practice.

In the future a good practice is to copy the message and respond to them to confirm the address, this way you can definitely prove that you sent to the right address and no one can edit your reply.

Can you post your txid? At least this way some people can try and piece things together if there is anything to find and prove.

Yes, I did confirm the address before sending, because I sent me the address and amount per telegram so I can sent the ETH via my phone wallet and then checked it again so I didn't miss a character during copying.

In the future I know now that I always use an escrow service when I pay that much money. Cheesy

I also did some research on skype and I found out that you can check when a message was edited, by downloading your messages from here:

Oh, what a surprise I can confirm now, that he changed the message afterwards...

Code:

{
"id": "1610573794814",
"displayName": null,
"originalarrivaltime": "2021-01-13T21:36:34.685Z",

},
{
"id": "1610573352373",
"displayName": "vareole",
"originalarrivaltime": "2021-01-13T21:29:07.76Z",
"messagetype": "RichText",
"version": 1610573785549.0,

"conversationid": "8:live:.cid.20c7fbbb89171750",

"properties": {

},
"amsreferences": null
},

So there you can see he sent the original message at 21:29 and changed it at 21:36.

If we look now when I sent my message "Is sending".

Code:

{
"id": "1610573692204",
"displayName": null,
"originalarrivaltime": "2021-01-13T21:34:52.091Z",
"messagetype": "RichText",
"version": 1610573692204.0,
"content": "Is sending",
"conversationid": "8:live:.cid.20c7fbbb89171750",
"from": "8:live:.cid.77940be53fdf7a5e",
"properties": null,
"amsreferences": null
},

As you can see I sent it at 21:34. That means he changed his message afterwards.

I can send a moderator the skype download link to proof that I've not changed something, but I will not publish this here publicly because there are all of the other messages in there too.
