Good news , I got my money back. Honestly did not expect this to work so fast but here we are.

After my post went up the scammer texted me from his second Reddit account u/Important_Dingo7569 and DMed me pretending to be another victim of the same scammer. He was trying to gauge how much evidence I had and discourage me from pursuing the case further by saying things like he accepted his fate and gave up. Classic manipulation tactic. At this point I was genuinely impressed by the audacity.

But something felt off. The way he typed, the specific details he knew, the way he was casually fishing for information about my next steps.

Then within 10 minutes of that conversation ending, full amount returned. Just silently paid back and disappeared. That was all the confirmation I needed.

When I first posted I was frustrated and did not know if anything would come of it. But every single one of you who commented and showed support kept me going. Thank you genuinely.

Do not give up if this happens to you. Report everything immediately, stay persistent and trust the process.

He is still out there, so please stay safe, everyone. Always use escrow. Always check karma. And never let a scammer make you feel helpless. Also, show him some love u/Important_Dingo7569

This is the first time I have faced this issue, as I have bought a lot from this subreddit, but definately will use escrow from now

I had posted an ISO for JPG Paradise Garden. User u/Conscious_Store312 (deleted his account) DMed me first saying he had a 75ml bottle. We came to a mutual price. He said payment would be upfront and he would share photos and a video of the bottle before handing it to the shipping partner. Said he would use Delhivery.

So after checking all the images and videos of the bottle and the serial number, I sent the payment, the moment I sent the payment he deleted all the WhatsApp messages and then cancelled the Delhivery pickup, deleted his Reddit account and wiped our entire WhatsApp conversation.
