Please describe the reason for submitting a Dispute, in detail.
A user with the username “Sailor Popeye” has scammed me of $5,000+.

We entered into a joint venture agreement on BHW, where "Sailor Popeye" agreed to handle Google Ads payments on my behalf in exchange for a commission. I transferred the funds to him via USDT (TRC20).

For the first few weeks, the arrangement worked as agreed, and we completed multiple successful transactions. However, since 17 December 2025, he has completely stopped responding on Telegram after receiving a payment of over $5,000 from me.

I have made multiple attempts to contact him via calls and messages on Telegram, but there has been no response from his side.

All discussions and agreements were conducted exclusively on BHW. Additionally, I have noticed that the “Sailor Popeye” account is currently marked as “ACCOUNT CLOSURE REQUESTED,” which raises further concern regarding this matter.

I am attaching screenshots as evidence for reference and verification.

Please detail exactly how you have tried to resolve your issue before now.
He is not replying to my messages.
