EbudsUK, dark net and insta

Hey all

I placed an order through somebody on Instagram by the name 'ebudsUk'. They have apparently been established since 2012 on insta and the dark net. They had a fair few amount of followers and regularly posted pics of their stock etc. After speaking with them on wikr for a bit I decided to place an order. They are based in uk so this is a uk-uk deal. I paid via bitcoin on Sunday evening and was told it would be sent Monday and I would be supplied with full tracking details as it will be next day delivery (which I paid for)

Sunday night on wikr I received what looked to be a group message sent to everyone stating their insta had been hacked and all tracking numbers will be sent in morning once he's sorted who's is who. He then messaged me in the morning and didn't confirm if it had been shipped but said he would provide tracking details around 6pm once they had finished work.

I then enquired about a price for a certain quantity for a friend who was looking to order which he replied to at about 6.05pm, but still hasn't provided tracking details or confirmed if sent.

I got home from work today and nothing has landed, I have sent him a few messages asking for tracking details/if it has been sent. All with no reply.

I'm guessing I have been scammed? Any way to get bitcoin back or do anything about it? Anyone used them?

I understand I may be jumping the gun a bit quick, but it's just odd that he was replying within 20/30 minutes up until I ordered, then since payment was made barely a reply. I understand instas may get reported or taken down, but just seems a little bit too fishy for me. If he didn't manage to get it sent out why not just say? And surely a uk-uk next day delivery most of the time in my experiences comes next day...

Anyone used them? Anything I can do to get money back?
