Seller Alert for johncarlos301

User: johncarlos301 attempted to buy sites form me and when I questioned his identity he had little to porove who he was.... After a paypal payment was sent to me it was in a different name.... 10 minuets later a PayPal security hold was placed and funds were RETRACTED.... I almost lost $1500

 

Hate it when scammers have to come to DP and pull their crap!

Thanks for the heads up...will never sell a thing to that person!

 

Shit John, sorry to hear that - glad you mentioned it though because he's bid for a site I am selling. I'll be retracting that bid now!

 

Thanks for the 'heads up' there is no place in DP for that type of crap

 

Yea - was funny...... I was on the IM with him and stalling to call paypal after he sent the payment.... Funds got cancelled while I was on the phone.... I said to him ,

Your funds have just been retracted.... So what do you have to say about that?

He said .... "I'll Be Right Back" ......

Dope!

 

Wow! Thanks for the alert.
He made a bid on my site too..
Like DarrenC, I'm retracting the bid...

 

I am guessing he never came back?

 

I Must Admit...... He Nearly Had Me....... Close Call

Wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, but my gut told me something wasn't right....

 

hmm, he only have 7 posts.
how many post/weeks is it that one have to be here, before one can sell

Maybe there should be something the other way aruond.

He is buying.
Any new member can go to the bst forums and bid, buy, purchase, trade on an existing thread.
Just can not create his own thread to sell.

 

I don't know why but I was suspicious straight away, and the fact that he had no iTrader, and very few posts, would of meant that I had done plenty of research on him before selling the site to him.

 

When talking that kind of money, best to use Paypal from only trusted members.

 

thanks clasione for the information - i see he's been bidding on some sites... hopefully those sellers read this thread.

 

Why you haven't used iTrader for a feedback?

 

Good Point - I will do so now.....

glad to see you didnt get caught up in the scam.

 

Thanks for pointing this one out!

 

I hate scammers.

I have also been scammed many times with this kind of tricks. But don't know from where they find out new and improved tricks to scam others. I think they should be using their minds in developing and other creative things rather then making ideas to scam people.

 

I was about to post an alert about him. Lost $25 so nothing much but still it's a fraud! Lessons leant -- always deliver to paypal payment id only.
