Scammer Alert on DP!

Hello,

I am not quite sure if I am posting in the right section but I would like to inform you people about a big scammer here on DP.

USERNAME: bs1209

Today he sent me 200$ paypal and I gave him 150$ egold (we agreed on this). Every thing went right but after 3-4 hours of exchange when I checked my paypal it was limited just because of the disputs he filed against me. Even without any reasons. My paypal was unverified and with some how not real information so I am stuck with my money and can't do anything.

Please becarefull when trying to trade with this guy.

He is a big Scammer.

I hope this will help other people not to get scammed by him.

 

ok , thanks!

Try to contact paypal. And always use legit details!

 

Yeh this is the problem, that I can't contact paypal because of some wrong information. I just posted to help other DP members.

I can also post PM's from him, if required

 

Hi,
Thanks for the alert.I've seen same cases in on dp in past few days so before doing trade do check the user itrader and recent posts
Thanks,
Saad

 

Tasadduqkhan, tell me why are you doing it in the first place?
I had been warning ppl in different thread about this kind of scam. Do not fall in this trap!

 

Thanks for the heads-up! Sorry to hear about this fraudulent user!

This is a good example to never exchange online currencies with members who don't have a good standing here at DP! You both are new, it seems!

I will suggest contacting PayPal, but because you are not verified I honestly think you are SOL.

I'm sure the moderators will now take extreme caution and supervision over the reported user.

 

You are right ahkip but I learnt my lesson.
Never ever going to do this.

 

I'm sorry that happened to you. Paypal doesn't allow online currency exchanges, so I dont think paypal will help you in this case.

 

What was his iTrader and no. of posts.... was he a new or a old member.

 

Exactly, that sounds like a textbook scam

 

this sounds eerily similar to our good buddies experience:

farooqaaa - " Strange!!!!!!!!!!"

 

I just found a thread started by that guy using the search facility ....
http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=155052

was this the same thread

 

Exactly,

This was the thread. Actually I got greedy and this happened to me

 

Thanks for the info, btw talk to paypal on this.

 

Would you have kept a bank account with "not real information"??? Why treat PayPal any different?

 

just give that guy negative iTrader

 

Please use iTrader to warn others.

 

Use iTrader.
Fix your information with PayPal, I suggest calling them.

 

I'm sorry, but how could you ever think that something like this is legit? "If you give me money I'll give you more money in return!" What part of that makes any sense at all? Serious question.

 

Sounds similar to my case only thing is that I had lost less amount of money. I would do this only if I help something really dear to the person or I would know the guy in person. Otherwise there is no way to kow anyone online.
