I have screenshots of this guy and everything else. His IGN is "(Redacted)".
Here are links to the screenshots:

If you look closely at chat you can see everything. What he wanted to buy was a great defender, he wanted to buy it for 20k but then voluntarily said he would pay me 50k because I had to buy the recipes in order to make one. I wasn't able to catch an actual screenshot of him saying: "my work here is done!!! SCAMMED!!! :)))))", but I did get a screenshot of it in chat when I scrolled up. I was just stunned. I didn't know that people did this just for fun, it isn't very funny to me thats for sure... :/
You also will notice that he tried to get me to craft a striker just to sweeten his crazy idea of "fun". I sent a complaint, and I sure as heck want this kind of player BANNED. It just sucks, he is probably preying on more players as I type this. Funny thing is the saying rings true, "if its too good to be true, then it probably is". All I thought was that he was a nice player who wanted to "sweeten the deal (as he said)l", I'm sure glad I didn't unbind my other gear he wanted to buy!
I'm just glad that It wasn't someone else who was scammed, as I can cope with the loss of about 20k crowns. I sure hope he doesn't scam newer players, thus hurting Spiral Knights good reputation.
Please try to avoid being scammed by trollers (unlike me).
