I think it was just an excuse to take your funds. I am really sorry about this.

I have seen their profile and ANN - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5436716.0
Their profile is inactive, but I think it should be tagged and flagged as we wait for any other response from them, though I already have little faith that they will repay it.

OP, I suggest you create a flag. Probably type 2, I will help support it
