    Hi,
    This is for your information and I need a bit of advice or an opinion even,
    I have sent a message to Deluxdon and had no response.
    The short version of a long story Via PM's..

    It seems that I have just been scammed via PM's on DP..

    I posted for a site with MASSAGE in the domain name and got a reply from DomainAirport we agreed on a price of $15.00 USD which I paid via paypal, and he asked me to raise a dispute then close it, which I did out of good faith to which he sent me a reply "You have been scammed :L"
    What do you suggest I can do with this ???
    Since this I have also had several emails from this guy as well, one saying that
    "I have Scammed you of your Money"
    Does DP support this activity or what.. I do not get any responses from DP, however they are VERY fast to hand out infractions.
    This DomainAirport needs to be hmmm no comment on here..
    Be aware we also know of several other names and accounts that he has here on DP and one at least had been banned from DP and he has also a lot of outside sites and activities going on as well.
    Even though this has COST me $15·00 USD that's minor and could have been more, but scamming for 15 bucks he aint real smart lloll..
    Be interesting to see what you guys have to say about this...

    why did you do that stupid dispute thing. buyers must be careful when dealing with who has less feedback and new members.

    A common thing in DP is that a new member says he's hiring writers, and then asks them to write a "sample article". They get a lot of articles and the writers never get paid.

    yes, usually old member will not take risk to scam another.
    They already have reputation

    ahhh Koala you are so right !!!..
    I did it as an act of good faith on my part.. and never realised also that once closed they cant be re-opened ??
    NOW I get an email from DP saying "You have received a new Negative rating or comment from DomainAirport." so now this idiot is giving me a negative point ..
    What is DP doing... Allowing idiots like this to continue and
    does ANYONE here know and can tell me how to get this negative point reversed, I am getting rather disappointed here at DP right now and have been a member here for several years and this is the first pain that I can say that I really have had ??
    Help me out here please people..
    Thanks
    and now is my reputation here tarnished ??? right now it seems yes and all because of a SCAMMER... wrong very wrong..

    scam exists everywhere not only DP forum, it cannot be stopped. we need to be more careful while dealing with others.

    Handle it professionally and don't go out posting complaints with polls such as Live or Die choices. Report it and let a moderator know, since it's you that has been scammed then it is under your responsibility to LET A MOD know about it and as what Koala has said, be careful, do a background research and choose the people whom you'll deal with VERY carefully.

    Thanks dpsubi1,
    You are very very right, now its not so much the 15.00 that i was scammed here but rather the fact it happened and wanted to make others here aware !!

    THANKYOU to Admins here at DP..

    DomainAirport I see has been BANNED ONLY hope its permanent !!!

    Next for me here is my reputation points, my negative one anyhow, can that be reversed or removed please..
    Thanks..
