To cut a long story short, I have been scammed by the DP user tbtb. I purchased a website template in this sales thread which turns out to be a template which is freely available on the internet. I have received numerous PM's from him stating I will receive back the funds, but it has all been empty promises. My suggestion is to ban this kid so other's don't get stung by this user. He also has other sales threads where he has tried to sell freeware templates.
PM the moderators about the scam he had made then try to let them see your thread. Scammers are everywhere so be careful next tyme. Thanks for the warning.
I was hoping they would read this thread and take appropriate action. He is still scamming members on DP!!!
Yeah, it's funny how moderators are almost "unaware" that people are scamming on forums. Who are you going to trust, the guy with over 4,500 posts or the 83 post noobie?
Thanks for informing us about it..BTW It is clearly stated in DP TOS that they dont resolve personal disputes etc. Saad
Update: I had this guy tbtb contact me trying to sell me scripts and templates and all kinds of things over Yahoo. He obviously had not read very many of my posts before contacting me. Here's what he had to say: tbhyip123: I have new script for you tbhyip123: http://demo.mediasitescript.com/ tbhyip123: http://mediasitescript.com Greg-J: you own this script or something? tbhyip123: no tbhyip123: just have it Greg-J: Then it's not yours to sell is it? tbhyip123: hmmm dont know tbhyip123: why it metter ? tbhyip123: They cant find out .... Greg-J: Because it's wrong. It's dishonest. tbhyip123: OHHHHH When you don't havemoney its OK Greg-J: No, it's not OK. If you don't have money, get off your lazy ass and make some money. If it's not yours, it's not yours. Don't you get that? tbhyip123: ok Greg-J: Not having money isn't an excuse for being a thief. tbhyip123: not all think like you Greg-J: No, unfortunately not. Greg-J: Too many people think like you. tbhyip123: tbhyip123: and I bought it and resell it ? tbhyip123: *if ? Greg-J: It makes you a petty theif that's too lazy to get off your ass and earn an honest dollar. tbhyip123: Ok so no business with you After that it was mainly about how he will just change his IP and re register here on DP after I told him smalltime scammers don't get very far here. Anyway, heads up - he's one to stay away from.
