I did a trade with someone and I didn't get the money.

We agreed on 58 million for 70 Xanax.

I have the trade record (screen shot below) which shows no money went through and when I realised what had happened, I opened the chat box to discuss then got blocked.

Can someone please confirm whether the system glitched or the buyer didn't send me the money because I am 58 million down, the buyer has had the Xanax but refuses to cooperate with me to find out what happened. Thanks.

YumYumQueen: hi do u have more xanax? i'll buy all at 830k
moominberry: Not at the moment sorry
moominberry: Thank you for buying the others :)
YumYumQueen: okie, let me know if u have more :D
moominberry: Will do :)
moominberry: I have another 70 xanax available
YumYumQueen: wow didn't expect that much :D
moominberry: can you take it all or just some?
YumYumQueen: any discount if i take them all? :D
moominberry: They are already discounted but i can knock off another 100k to make it a dead 58mil
YumYumQueen: ok, if you're willing to wait 20 minutes for me to land in torn, we're good :)
moominberry: ok great
moominberry: Please send money thanks
moominberry: Hello?
moominberry: Hi, I didnt receive the money ?
moominberry: What's going on please?
moominberry: It's really not in your best interests to scam me
moominberry: You have had the 70 Xanax
YumYumQueen: hold on handling 10 other chatboxes right now
YumYumQueen: will answer in order it comes in

You were scammed, be sure to tell a friend or the whole wide world about it so others don't fall for this person in question.

There is multiple confirmation when going through a Trade, it even literally says in your screenshot right there to be careful. I'm really not sure how this can happen.. to any one.

When you saw there was no money in trade, you shouldn't have accepted it. It's not a bug, you were scammed. Please be more careful next time. Always double check before accepting.

Closing report.
Stewie [1494547]

I wouldn't even call it a scam if you do not check if the agreed payment has been added to the Trade before you accept. I personally always double check, then double check again to make sure a payment has been added before accepting.

OP: It really does suck when this kind of thing happens, and I'm not really blaming you. The only thing I can recommend though is to be more careful in the future.

You can check them in Icon settings in Preferences if you wish (hovering over an icon image will show you a tool tip). However, let's not hijack bug reports. This kind of thing belongs in Questions & Answers.
