If you don't feel like you should trust someone, get yourself a trustworthy middleman... It reduces the risk to chargeback-only
Its hard to ban scammers form SOP if noone reports them, the user orfej never reported the scammer to SOP staff, also the user in question has not posted on SOP for 1/2 a year and the rep therad post has not been changed in over a year. From the looks of it, you were scammed but not by that SOP user, but by a rep thread hijacker who changed his custom url to a user who no longer uses it. This is why SOP has an id64 url rule put in place to avoide this exact type of incident. edit: the real sop user last used that custom url on Nov 1st 2011 according to his steamrep profile http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561197995632311?t=1320109045
