    Hi,
    Lately I got scammed by this site :
    http://www.goodusb.net/

    I never thought I will be scammed
    A brief story:

    I need to pay 290usd by wire transfer.
    When I transferred the company claim they did not receive the payment yet.Then I comfirm with my bank (after 2 weeks) and they say the payment is cleared :eek:
    The company keep replying me denying they had scammed me,
    then I said I comfirmed with my bank twice.After that I receive no reply :D

    Any idea how I can give some lesson to this scammer?
    hack their site :confused:.
    Tell me your idea :D

    The only thing you can do is let more people be aware that the site is a scam.

    I don't suggest you hack their site .
    Make sure it is a company or individual .
    It is seldom a company will scam you for $200 .
    An indiidual may scam you $200 .
    If you trust me, pls pm me the url of their alibaba url .
    I may give some help .

    Just kill em!. Just kidding.

    That is a big amount of money, especially in this financial crises time. Unfortunately there is not much you can do about it.

    -Keep on sending mails
    -Write negative reviews on them
    -Try to locate their main competitor and report the issue to them! They may help you sabotage them.

    When you are scammed, you are scammed and that`s all. You can say good bye to your 20$ and be careful next time ;)

    No much to do about, in future use escrow to prevent of being scammed easily.

    What to do to a scammer

    It depends on what type of scam he/she is. If he is one offering you free money then just give him your bank account number. If he is one with email phishing then just give him another scammers email id. In your case you are already scammed. So he will never come in front of you again.

    OK be serious ... you first find who is the owner of that site. Then you can go with legal procedures by knowing from which country he is. Eventhough there are international laws, some countries are not included in proper channel. But there is a way to proceed.

    Not much to suggest.. but simply use escrow in the future and see who you're dealing with, it's the internet after all and some people don't respect others efforts and don't keep their word.

    that's too bad. My suggestion is write bad reviews about them on all review sites and forums. Discuss what they did. thats what you can do. do not waste your time on hacking or other things. you have learned the lesson. make sure you check 100 times before you send payment to someone next time.

    Can't you get your money back from your bank? if you request them, saying the party says they haven't received the money ??? Check with them first.

    Also, simple google search about goodusb.net brings be many bad reviews about them. So, do google before you deal with anyone next time.
