http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=654556 hi dp! Last month i have pay $125 to AA.WebDev.Ltd (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=654556) This guy is completely scammer! I pay for 800,000 Thailand youtube views and he said i have to pay for $250 so i ask this scammer to pay first half and then i will pay second half after the work done to him. He said the views will increase 50,000-70,000 per day. One month had pasted the views is completely still the same! The views that go up is the views that i had advertised(about 10,000 views) i had try contact him in any type( email, skype and pm) he is alway come online but not reply to me!!!! Digitalpoint moderator please ban this guy so no one will be his victim again! (I can show all our conversation and payment!)
So you blindly send money to a random dude in India hoping he will not be a scammer perform a service that in ITSELF is scamming (fake traffic). Not much else to say but... LOL. Best thing to do is just open a dispute with whatever escrow service you used for the transaction.
isnt that exactly how nearly all transactions on here are done? i struggle to find anyone that lets me pay <50% upfront. everytime i look for someone to help with SEO its $250 - $400 per month with only real results if its done continuously for several months.... pffft... He isnt asking you to care, he is trying to protect the other members that use the forum.
You are dabbling in Black Hat, so... you should have been prepared to this. On the other hand, if he's banned, makes a new account with clean history. Assuming he is guilty, at least this way people can see his/her history through sales threads and iTrader. Or it would be seen in iTrader if the OP hadn't left a positive one. How do we even know what the Op says is true? He hasn't mentioned it in iTrader or his thread.
fair enough, but if i left negative itrader for everyone i paid here for services that either werent delivered, or were well below what was promised, i'd have -neg rep, and neg itrader... we all know itraders broken, leave 1 negative rep, you get hit by others. all you can do is take it on the chin, and hire people from other places.
Isn't this attitude just helping to break iTrader? So you get negative rep in return, but anyone doing due diligence (and everyone should) will see what happened in the thread (or at least people should be documenting any problems in the deal thread). It will be great once iTrader is gone, but I am sure people will complain about the new system, too (and still not document bad deals).
when someone is relatively new, and has very few positive itraders themselves, leaving negative itrader does more damage to them then to the scammers.
Yes, for example, I have seen some sellers not wanting to do deals because of someone's iTrader, but if a seller is too lazy to do their due diligence, do you want to really be dealing with them anyway? It's the first bad sign. Your fear is just making you forget due diligence. Personally, I would be very cautious doing business with the OP (or anyone else) who hasn't left negative iTrader (irrespective if they got it in return) and instead makes a thread complaining (not even writing about it in their own). It can seem like they are trying smear someone's name. Don't be afraid, mate, if you really want to help protect (or at least make other users aware). Most experienced buyers and sellers on here will do their checks and ignore negative iTraders that are fake.
Every member has the absolute ability to protect themselves with every transaction. That's exactly what https://escrow.com is for. My response would be the same if my neighbor was warning me to not trust the homeless guy under a bridge to hold your wallet and keys for safe keeping.
It's best to assume all strangers on the internet are living under a bridge without a home. OP, go to microworkers.com and buy your views. They have that sorta thing there and your money sits in an account before it is given to your workers. You can choose countries, too.
