I was able to download the file from OPs skype account. The json code provided was authentic, actmyname also confirmed me the same.
There is one problem with this export file which is - they do not show message that was before editing. OP also had an edited text just right before Vareole sent the address. The content of that edited text and original text was same that conclude me that skype do not keep log of the message that was edited.

If skype had previous unedited log then the case would have been very clear cut however considering the circumstance and considering the response from Vareole - it is clear that
Vareole did not tell us the true story in fact, he lied to us which let me conclude that Vareole indeed scammed OP. It was a nice strategy to be fair..
Message was edited within seconds not minutes later like he claim here.
