Description:
This user with the friend code 3797-7428-1904 and IGN (In-game name) Calem scammed me out of a 5IV totodile with egg moves. He offered me a 5IV riolu with 5 max IVs. I naively traded, only to receive a riolu with one max IV in HP. He offered to battle and I also accepted. He quit halfway through when I was winning. After that I checked the riolu's IVs and they did not match what I requested. When I told him that it only had one max IV, he disconnected.
I am a trusted trader- I usually trade on the Serebii and Smogon forums under the username 'Lizilla' ad 'Lizilla89' If you have any issue with the validity of this, you can contact me on there.
I'm posting this it so that others don't make the same mistake that I did and so that his friend code is searchable in google.

Hey there, got scammed by JHVJUNIOR, his ingame name is Junior and his friendcode the following:
2723 9870 3852
He posted to have darumakas up for trade. I sended him a PM asking if he had one with its hidden ability, he responded yes and asked me what I was offering, he decided to go for one of my IV bred koffings and yeah well Its obvious it didnt had its hidden ability so yeah there it is.

I don't know if this is ban worthy or even blacklist worthy, but it's still pretty suspect.

Description: He/She wanted a 5IV flawless Bagon, for a Skarmory with Stealth Rock, Whirl Wind, Brave Bird. Before I pulled the trigger, I checked the summary of the Poke and saw that it had no Stealth Rock. I figured that since SR Skarm's pretty coveted atm, they'd have a bunch of it up for trade.

Can you show us the PMs, if possible?
And rhythmic, I don't think that exactly entails a black listing at this moment, but I will keep an eye on it and will ask the other TF mods to do so, also.

What happened: This user is claiming to trade 5IV pokemon when they are not. He traded me a 1 IV Pinsir when he said she was 5IV. He has not replied back, despite being on and he continues to post on the IV Bread Thread. Another user has also been scammed by him

Description: He gave me a 3 IV Pinsir for a 5IV Larvitar (he said his pinsir was 5IV) then I went to the IV judge in Kiloude city to check its IV's and it was a 3IV Pinsir (Attack, Sp. Attack and Speed) when I tried to start the trade again to give him back his 3IV Pinsir he quickly got offline, Then I messaged him here in the forum saying "I shall report you if you don't give me either my larvitar or the 5 IV pinsir" and he replied "I gave you the 5 IV Pinsir" I double and triple checked and the Pinsir was a 3IV Pinsir (Attack, Sp. Attack and Speed). He also did the same thing with the user Bluemiracle giving him a 1 IV Pinsir.

I looked into the case and it seems after you posted this he made another account. I have reported it but got more evidence and it shows that this trade happened too.
Ban on said member and a couple alt accounts have been just made, cheers for reporting those guys.

I have VM'd them to check the above post. Imo there's a chance the net died or they had to go somewhere else, so we'll see. If so I imagine the trade can be just continued next time, and hopefully that is indeed the case.
Amacitare - same deal, maybe you can complete the trade now? Although the timing does seem a bit odd there, Sidhe111, in the alleged disconnection (and if nobody wants them, why did you want 5 yourself? =p). If you're fine to complete that trade when next possible it'll be fine.

The problem isnt that i didnt want to complete the trade the problem is that it never happened for me? like at all i got 2 off of him for 2 stones and a masterball... I wanted 5 due to a bet with a friend that i couldnt get a whole box lol, But he only traded the previously mentioned 2 and i believe he was angry that i didnt trade him or he traded the wrong person himself.
