User @USD scammed me for $1,250 in Bitcoin for OKEx database.
So user was selling the OKEx database with balances and I messaged him asking if he was still selling, claimed he had a sold a copy already but managed to get him to agree to sell me a copy too. We spoke on the on-site PM and moved over to TOX since its easy to have a conversation over there. He could only accept BTC or USDT so I converted XMR into BTC for him and sent him it, he said to wait for confirmation, all sounded good. Several hours later and 0 replies and now TOX messages to the user are no longer sending so it is clear he scammed.
Screenshots of both on-site and tox pms:

Given everything it is quite clear he is just scamming and using his on-site reputation to do so. Figured since he had reputation on Dark Forums it was okay to proceed without escrow or middleman.
Deal With Caution
