One suggestion for Bitcointalk admins and escrow services : Please lower your fees or these will happen every day. ( Not a good sign for a good community )
I know i am not getting the money back.. but atleast someone else should not lose money.
One more thing. Negative reviews wont help , nor suspending his account. ( he will create again and scam others ) . Better to fix the root cause and build a better and cheap escrow service.
Bitcointalk escrow service is quite lower. That means some are accept 1-2% fees. It’s not too high. The man who chat with you maybe told lie.
Mods are not controlling scam in this forum. But the trust system helps a lot to know about someone. So better to do self care and care of your own money. If you don't take care of your money then nobody can help you.
