    Today, quite early ard 5.30 AM (Indian Standard Time), when I was abt to leave for my routine Jog, I got a PM from the ID Rohit147. (See Screen Shot). This chap asked me for an exchange ... EG or something... I was quite surprised to get a mail at that time... no Indian should wake at that time.. not least for trading !

    Also this ID had over 150 i-trades and I expected him to know that DP is no more entertaining currency exchange in any form on anywhere on DP - PM included..

    Also this chap asked me to add me on MSN to have the deal, and I already had him on my Yahoo friends list... Also he has his yahoo ID on his profiles, and his MSN was not mentioned there... This made me suspicious and I login in my yahoo and saw that he was on - I am on SMS mode. So I left a msg on his mobile that I think that someone has hijacked his ID and is using to scam someone...

    This chap today chated with me on yahoo and said that he knows nothing abt the msg that was sent to me. Surprisingly, he gave me his MSN id while chating which exactly matched with the ID that had a pending friends request on MSN..

    Again he told me that he know nothing abt it ... Another interesting thing is that he login to his MSN ID, I added him with the pending req, and send him a few msg on MSN (Screen Shot Attached) and he said that he is not receiving any messages from me !

    Now I don't know how to see this situation. I have fwd that mail recd to Mods and haven't had any reply till now.. its not that late .. just like 12 hours ago.. no real delay as such from there part ...

    Anyways.. I would like all of you to have a read this and give me your feedback on this matter.

    Thanks.

    It hard to belive that some one that runs a site like ustaxfoums.us will try to scam someone. I had similar PM earlier to day from dadsworld.com and it pointed to me fake digital point phishing site. I think just some users unfortunately getting their login info stolen and their counts exploited. I gave my login info right before I cough it was a phishing site, I changed it on time.

    I would like to think that way as well... but that chap (Rohit) told me that no one knows his Password than himself! I would like to get a clarification - a reasonable one from him... he has also told me that h will talk abt this to Mods and Admin...

    But what I am trying to say is that , what can we do abt this thing - its serious.. someone did it.. and had i got scammed , i would have made full efforts to ban this ID ... so he would had ended up with loosing so much reputation that I am sure he has worked hard to gain.... for something which he might not have necessarily done ...

    I would like to get more details abt this.. can MODS/authority concerned pls look into this matter and give it the attention, which i think it deserves.

    Thanks.

    Yes - well i am more concerned than you at this point of time.. And so well before you have made this thread - i ahve already informed the mods about it and have also clarified my stand in the following thread..

    Regarding the MSN id is concerned.. its not an msn id - its my gmail id which was there as DP Email..

    And when you were leaving message via MSN messenger to a gmail account - i dont think that i would receive any message on my side..

    Anyways - i am ready to help you guys - and have made a lot of announcements here on DP.. I dont want my reputation to suffer here..

    I ahve changed my Email ID and password as well.

    As far as scamming is concerned - i am not a fool that i will go around scamming people cause i already doing great business on DP - so why would i risk anything??

    thanks for ur reply bro...

    as for that gmail id ... may be u r not aware but msn/windows live msgr got a multi function that facilitates using any hotmail, yahoo,rediff,gmail (i think gmail is also included) for its login

    for example i login to msn/windows live msgr using my yahoo id only ... check it out n c for urself ....

    n do keep us updated abt the mods reply....

    u should understand that in case any one ends up being scammed by ur Id, ur reputation will suffer.. so it would be better if we can take care of the real culprits n permanently ban them n their ip.. there is obviously a well organised group of morons doing this

    PLUS KEEP UR COMMON SENSE ALIVE ALL THE TIME DURING EXCHANGES ....

    cheers!
