    Beware of this guy who is also a member of digital point.

    email
    digital point ID: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=88029

    First i wanted to buy $300 card from him, so he said he accepts paypal and i sent him the money. After that the next day i got a refund, he said his paypal account has problems but he can introduce me to a friend who can sell it to me.

    The e-mail i was given then was . So i sent this person an email and got a reply, was told to send the money to his/her paypal account which is almost 1 year old. I trusted them because i have bought an $60 card from before and got it. Never knew he wanted to scam my $300 this time..

    I have since then never gotten a reply from either of them. I am doing a chargeback in paypal and hope i get my money back.

    Thanks, if i lose $300 its ok just dont each of us lose $300 and make this idiotic scammers rich out of our hard earned money. I've posted in general but i posted here too since here is where the most buy and sell happens.

    But as he was the buyer this doesn´t affect him. The seller can´t proof the delivery so probably the dispute can be won, but I am almost 100% sure the money has been already transfered so a won dispute doesn´t matter. The money has gone in most cases

    IF the money has ben transfered to another account cant it be recovered still? Im sure he didnt have time to withdraw it because i opened a dispute after 3days.

    Mods don't put this type of messages in general chat section. Why means many people will visit this section only. By this way many can know who the scammers and become alert and never been scammed. Please change your rules. This is the most visited place and ban all the scammers. Thanks in advance. This is my request.

    Instead why not there be a new section called "Scammer Alert" and DP forumers are alerted ?

    Mods give it a thought please!!

    Yeah scammer alert place would be great, you can put all the info about scammers and make latest scammer topic a sticky.

    So basically before doing a trade, you can search on that sub forum of the name of the person your about to trade with and see if anything comes up.

    paypal is crazy. I got scammed a couple times. Digital items are really hard to get your money back on. One guy successful scammed me of $500 but the other did'nt.
