    I have been scammed by a DP user and want to know how to advertise the scam and the scammer so as no-one else is taken in. I have made a blog about the experience and showing the evidence. can I publish the link here without getting an infraction?

    Simply give him a negative iTrader thats it.

    And you won't get any traffic by posting your blog link here.[​IMG]

    Holy shit. 1200$ is a hell lot of money to lose. Can you tell us some ore information like his itrader, profile page etc. Also you can only give a SINGLE negative itrader no matter the amount of money you have been scammed. :)

    When you run into problems with a deal made on DP, post a factual account in deal thread and use itrader.

    How did you paid your bill?
    Did you buy goods or services?
    Did you use PayPal? If yes, then ask them to mediate dispute.
    Ask your Credit Company to issue money back claim.

    :(

    Ouch. neg iTrader is likely all you can do on DP, and neg reputation. I hope this scammer you did business with had a helluva good feedback rating before you sent him $1200, I'd always be weary sending that kind of money around to any user in any forum, good ratings or not.

    As previously stated though, you can file dispute in PayPal or file chargeback with your CC provider if this is how you paid.

    On his profile page, click the 'Feedback Score' tab, then click 'Submit Feedback' and it'll give you a form to fill out.

    How can the -1 iTrader help him with the loss ? He will get -1 too ? Use escrow.

    Some changes have to be made here @Marketplace forum.

    Go to his profile and add a negative itrader. You may also want to give more details about the scammer. If you paid with paypal, then i would advise you to open a dispute or file a chargeback.

    you can post the details here can't you? or at least blog about it and link the blog to your sig. I want to hear the details of how it happened and who it was in case it happens to me.

    i agree with this guy :) -1 iTrader compared to a loss of $1,200 is pretty lacking.. i just wonder what did you buy for $1,200..
    i'm also kinda new here in Dp forums.. was there a forum section here for reporting scammer?.. like "scam report section"..
    and regarding to this guy who paid $1,200 if you do it via paypal.. then file a paypal dispute..
    hope you can recover it. Goodluck..

    Well if you both live in the USA or both of you are US citizens you could press criminal charges.

    If one or both of you live outside of the US, then negative iTrader, and reporting him/her to the moderators could get the party banned from the site, or at least barred from offering future deals here.

    Keep in mind that for both methods you will need to have a record of the entire sales process. All Private Messages, emails, and any other correspondence, in addition to the actual transaction record (from your bank/paypal) will be needed.

    Sorry for your loss.

    BTW, so you know.

    PayPal will help you only if you paid for tangible item but
    if you paid for services.... then forget it, they won't help you.

    The guy has been banned but this is what I was supposed to have supplied after he reduced the price to $1,200, funds were sent by WU after he said his bank could not accept an international wire transfer....I am new to the adult internet world and I admit to making a bad mistake here but at least by publishing I may help other people think twice:

    "Tube site for sale 90,000+ hits monthly
    Established adult porn website that is 4 months old and is getting about 90,000 hits a month
    I built it myself, and have established backlinks and search engine traffic. There are 146 videos and 100+ community members.
    All of the videos are embed to keep the monthly bandwidth cost very low $16.99 a month.
    If you were to host all of the videos.. you would be paying about $50.00 a month.
    It is very easy to add as many videos as you want.. takes about 1 minute per video.
    I will teach the new owner how to maintain this website, add videos, and my personal instant free traffic secrets. 3-5k uniques a day (which is priceless)
    The free traffic methods are worth more than what im asking for this website.
    I own a few other websites that take up alot of my time, so this is why i am selling this one.
    This is your chance to own a established adult website with traffic, and secrets on how to gain more traffic, that noone will tell you.
    If your serious about owning your own website to gain extra income, and work from home.. take a look around, then call me. ( This Is A Steal! )
    Price $1500
    Email "

    The guy has not refunded the money and is now threatening to tamper with one of my 'bricks and mortar' company websites.
