[ASAP] Am I Being Exit Scammed?

[T0p1c]

Hey,

Lets keep this short. A user on this forum I have been in very reliable contact with has been transferring my extra money to BTC very consistently. Always fast and easy, however today we discuss it and agree. I go first (as I trust the user) and send ~$140. They stop responding-- however it isn't a problem as they said they were busy and would be back very soon to finish the exchange (why would I not just be convenient?). Well, it has been ~10 hours and they have not responded. I doubt they would do this for such a small amount (as there was so much obvious potential for me to exchange larger amounts), however I checked their reputable forum account through our messages (as I cannot directly visit the page) on here and I see the following labels:
- Disabled Account
- Restricted Account SR

I tried to find the scam report against them, however I cannot find it.
For anyone curious, their username is "Encrypting", and Discord is "Encryption#6105".
I have proof of multiple exchanges, some of which are $100+.

TL;DR: Currency exchange user on this forum has been reliable, but now forum account is disabled and restricted, and they have $140 of my money and won't respond.
Anyways, do you all think this is an exit scam? I am positive I can get myself a refund via my bank, but don't want to cause trouble.

he has a neg about somebody getting scammed by him so possibly but I would wait at least 24 hours to see if he responds then contact your bank.

Thank you so much! I needed this reassurance. I am so glad I have the safety of a refund by using my bank as a payment vector through Paypal. I know it is controversial because of malicious charge-backs but these circumstances are different. Anyways, have a great day man & thank you again!

He's most likely exit scamming yeah, especially since he disabled his account.

Thank you man. At least I know my money is going to end up in my hands in the end. I appreciate your input

99% chance you are getting exited, yeah. F for you, man. Sorry you've got to deal with this, but at least you can get the money back, right?

Yeah. The odds of my bank working with me rather than him are huge. There's almost 0% chance under my circumstances that he can run with the money. Thanks for your reassurance as well. So many great people on this site-- some bad apples as well. Have a great day man & thank you!

The user called "Encrypting" claims that his acc got hacked/stolen which is a lie. I think he scammed like $500+. Just get your money back because this guy is a complete bullshit and tried to exit scam. He blocked me on discord ):

Would it be ethical to not only take the money he has back, but all previous payments as well? Or is that against tthe rules. I am already in the process of charging back.

Men its against the rules
Just chargeback the $140[DOUBLEPOST=1598110058][/DOUBLEPOST]i think encrypting can still make you ban if you charge back your previous payments

Okay! Thank you! I have already charged back the $140 he stole-- no other charge-backs are necessary in this case then.
