What happened:
Fribberie was selling PTS (link below). I PM'd him, and agreed that we trade in two phases. After he received my 1.0752 BTC he replied me only once more, asking to send the other half at the same time, promising he will then send the agreed PTS amount PLUS some bonus coins. When I didn't do that, he stopped replying and ran with my Bitcoins.

Additional Notes:
The seller has over 25600 PTS coins. Check the address (PpD9afhu64xyRu3G9rGGnMoJkqj5Uo6oUx) he provided.
Never trust anyone with your coins, always use escrow!

Scam report example:

What happened:
I saw Amazon's thread 4 days ago and placed a order for 10000 ProtoShares. After I sent him payment, he just went offline and never came back. I think he's a big liar and a scam. Stay away from him.

Additional Notes: I advise you to not deal with this user until this dispute is resolved.

Some Tips:
  • Search about the scammer first, use google to search for his/her details, other forum profiles, past scam reports and link to them in your scam report.
  • Always try to provide chat/PM logs as a screenshot if it's possible.
  • Use sites like https://imgur.com to upload images and https://pastebin.com or http://pastie.org for text based chat logs, although these may not be treated as good proof due to possible fakes.
  • Make sure to provide as much as info you have, like the payment address, instant messenger ID's, etc.
  • Use escrow and be safe.
