Suggestion Why THIS SCAMMER is NOT BANNED YET !

Digitalpoint only ban people when some one broke their forum rules ???
What when some scammer mentally and financially damages others ? Why he is not BANNED

Recently Gripen DID scam with me of $250 and now NOT reply any of my email. I am even not able to leave a negative itrader for HIM... huh!

and he already has received 3 negative itraders for scamming others...

Please Shawn n MODS... do something regarding this!

 

1- There should be some payment system for scripts and services too as we have in domains section!

2- ESCROW Services ? from now for sure !!!!

3- I have started the transaction dispute already, as usual, SCAMMER is not replying !!

Thanks for banning him and here is a suggestion, why dont you start services like escrow, you are rich !

 

Quite fascinating.

Why would you even deal with someone WHO already has 3 outstanding negative iTraders for scamming other members? lol.

Lessons learned as always.

 

Those negative itraders were given to him after my transactions.

 

My response...
1.DP is a party to each transaction, since DP earns money by being a facilitator to the transaction. They are more than a publisher, since they have control of communication via the parties to help facilitate the transaction. Lets face it DP is not here for philanthropic reasons.

2. I didn't use escrow, because of the small amount of the transaction. You seem to miss the point here, we are having this discussion because I/we were robbed. This is NOT about what I/we did wrong. It is about DPs lack of interest in stop theft from occurring on DP. Isn't that of concern to DP? When DP HAS an admission of guilt, enough facts to act on.

3. My payment processor won't help, since they don't have proof of the guy admitting that he stole from me, unlike DP that has his admission.

Wondering why....

Even when DP has an admission of theft, they will not do anything about it.

When I pointed out to a mod, they do nothing. Not even respond.

The mods would rather give out infractions to the innocent people (like me) for alerting others about the scammers operations. In the scammers new threads (harassment).

My opinion...

It is my opinion that the rules have set up a "culture that breads theft", this lessons the value of DP and the IM community. To sit back and not take action when presented with an admission of guilt is to condone such activity.

I wonder, if allowing thefts to continue is illegal? Any thoughts?

 

If someone was to come on here, and act as Middle man for all the deals/transactions that take place here (I’m sure it’s a huge amount as this is a huge forum) and take small cut/fee , I’m sure he would earn a monthly wage also he might cut out all the gripping that goes on when deals go sour.

If someone wants to buy a script “say” and finds a seller on DP,, The buyer sends his cash to the middle man and the seller sends the script. For his part (to earn his fee) the middle man makes sure the money is there and also makes sure the script is what it says it is.. When all three are happy the deal is struck, and cash goes one way and goods go the other .. ..

Just a thought,, .. It might be a way to make a really great board even better..

( waits for slap )..

 

Completely untrue.

 

Those who think that DP staff is here to act as kindergarten police should think again . DP offers you a free market . What you pay for is what you get .

 

Smyrl, No they don't, DP takes on the role of Transaction Facilitator (among other roles) in order to make money. That's why DP has rules against, ads for spamming, ads for VCC, ETC. Just no rule against stealing.

Very odd, how a mod isn't applaud that no action has been/should be taken against the thief. Clearly the culture at DP is different than the offline world.

satguy, Good idea, I think the new instant purchase function will make this not possible. But, I still think it is a good idea.

McFox, Since you have given no basis for your opinion, I accept it as that.


I imagine that I will be banned for speaking up, but realize one thing. I'm merely pointing out the stealing occurs on DP and at least one thief admitted to it (on DP). Just the fact that DP continues to dismiss it's role in this crime, lessens the value of DP.

I don't think that is the reason (to diminish the value of DP) people are associated with this forum, that is the real reason I'm not sure why we are arguing.

Can some one tell me why DP doesn't want to stop an admitted thief from committing more crimes on DP? Just answer that for me would you?

 

This is of course not the moderator's fault or anything related to DP. I am sure if a person has alot of negative itrader and no positive, people would get suspicious. You learned your lesson and be happy that you where not scammed a few thousand! Don't play the blame game!

 

Hey DP,

Thanks for your response.Seems we were responding at the same time.

I see that we are talking about two different things. You want to blame me for not protecting myself, and I'm talking about trying to stop a thief(s) from using your forums to commit crimes.



My payment processor said, since Digital Point is owner of admission it becomes "hearsay" when they look at. Only DP knows who sent it and hence Dp is the only one that can substantiate the statements.

I fully understand why nothing is done when a thief publicly admits to stealing on DP, Dp thinks it is the the victims fault.

DP doesn't think that it should ban an admitted thief.

I would love to have this discussion with you after a thief stole you car.

Thanks fro your time.

 

Cablebox,
You missed my point.

Why is admitting to STEALING ok?

The mods are responsible for banning. That is my concern, I'm not blaming any mods for me getting ripped off.

Really I'm glad it was a small amount, but others have lost much more.

The thief admitted to stealing from me, nobody else.

 

Thanks for your respect!

You get revenue from the ads. It doesn't matter how you get paid, it just matters that you do get paid.

DP..."There doesn't need a be a rule for not stealing. That's like saying we need a rule for people to not kill other users."

Can I suppose that if someone admitted (on DP) to Killing someone you wouldn't do anything about that either? Is that what you are trying to say?

Either way I simply disagree with allowing criminal activity. You can argue for it any way you want. I simply disagree, that is just me.

Have a nice day.

Got to get back to work.

 

@LincolnAve
If you where on my forum I would have banned you for having since a nice attitude . You might have forgotten to take a look at this .

Right now you are rudely demanding that DP avenges your for your gullibility . Simply because DP "gets money" . So for a few cents you're asking them to waste their time when they could be doing something that benefits all members and brings them some serious dollars .

I'm sorry but your risk free fantasy world doesn't exist .
