    I was just scammed by a minecraft user Slendermanjohn, he was buying a diamond for 26 grass and when I gave it to him, he dissapeared. I was wondering what could I do to get that diamond back. I have a person that saw him scam me and a screenshot of the small chat we had. help please.

    I used the screenshot button f2 and I cannot seem to find my screenshot file, so I can't upload it, unless you know where I could possibly find it

    Upload the 2 screenshots to this thread, but make them private if they involve such content.

    If you have bystanders with proof, then get that from them. I don't think just saying they were there will
    be enough. If you have evidence of the moment where he scammed you, such as Screenshots or Video, it
    would be helpful if you could provide that too.

    I recommend that whenever you are trading items of value that you just record it... Even if it's a free online software that is laggy it still shows what happened if they scam you. Anyway good luck with this! :D

    Edit: also taking a screenshot of your inventory before and after the trade can be useful as evidence

    I think I can spear you a diamond since I don't play .net. I just have to see if I have one or two :D

    If you don't have a recording or screenshots of the trade, a mod cannot hope you, but a player might be able to :)
