I've seen multiple threads opened claiming to have made a sale that were not finalized sales,not enough details to be shared, and never heard back from the OP. Reading through those you can clearly see that it is frowned upon and called a time waster which I agree.
I know the ones who did research to prove this thread false may have had better things to do with their time but do not feel that your time was wasted here.
It certainly proved of why you ask of the details and may have saved others from dealing with a fake.
The OP chose his path and showed this is definitely one way to ruin your reputation.
