A BIG LIAR - stolen money - 200$

wow, I worked with him and he seemed honest.
If this really happened, that sucks
As much the faults of Paypal, its good that they have a way to dispute payments

 

yup .. reporting the user as a fraud on other forums will also help..

 

Yea, at least that way you can make sure that more people know about what happened.

But if it is a respected member you might want to wait a few days as he might really be stuck somewhere.

 

I'm waiting already 15 days..This is too much time for answer ...However..i have to forget this money((After that I will never buy anything from this forum.

 

That sucks mate. And the guy has a good i-trader rating.

Hopefully BRum will join this thread and clear his name and you guys can sort out the issues

I made a b/s/t guide for doing safer business on DP (stickied). http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=190346
Hope you like it

Hmm this thievish guy made me mad..mad: He steal 200 $ from me.i want this guy to be kick out from this forum. Here are serious people..but hi is not from this part..

 

I belive that the DP admin had nothing to do with this case. They were not involved when the buyer and the seller made the deal. I'ts always wise to use our best judgement, It's a bad thing to know that other members try to rip off others much worse in this community. I really hope you'll get your money back, If it was done through paypal can't you ask for refund or so?

 

I hope your issue will be solved soon .

It really suck when such thing happen , and you are right you did the good thing by posting this so other know what happened .

if you have all proofs , its your right to defend your self and get your rights .

DP should stop all those scamming on other , exactly as they are doing when someone spam .

The thing that hurt the most is when it happen from a well known person in dp .

Good luck Friend !

 

Just send him loads of PMs and emails and he cant say he didnt see them.

 

Let's invite Brum to this thread to see what he has to say on the matter.

Yeah its cool idea. If Brum is right. he should come here. Becoz on the other side their may be any another error exists. So, Its bad your $200 is gone. Anyway if brum not answered here he will loss his all reputation.

and on DP Reputation is everything.

 

because this is business, i advise you to be on a cautious side. here's what i think:

i checked his previous posts. you said "last activity was yesterday." that is a little unreliable in my opinion. an auto-login is called an "activity". my home page is set to DP, so if someone else were to use my PC for 3 days, i will have "activity" for 3 days. i'd look at the last post date instead.

it seems BRUm last posted on 22nd january. if i were you, i'd wait till he makes another post before actually calling him a scammer. a post is definitely an "activity". with the exception of 1/22, it seems that he posts consistently everyday or every other day. so perhaps there's something up.

also, i've noticed that around the time you said you did transaction with him, he posted on the forums saying he is not familiar with e-gold and were asking people for help on using it. just an observation.

i advise you this way because the same thing happened to me. i did some work for someone, without asking for payment first (silly me), and when he got my work, he 'disappeared'. he didn't answer my PM, nor did he come online on IM. i kept an eye on his last post date, which didn't change (although his "last activity" kept updating). a week later he showed up on IM and apologised profusely for his disappearance. it seemed that he went to stay with his nephew for a week to care for him, and that house did not have internet, while his other family members stayed back.

he offered me extra compensation for the wait, which i happily accept. in your case, i agree that BRUm should have paid you back the moment he told you the site was for sale (by the way how come you paid him without knowing he sold the site?) what i'm trying to say is that you need to give people AMPLE chance to respond, because sometimes it turns out worth in the end. who knows, BRUm may end up being your regular client, if you gave him enough chances.

 

devin - OK.you are right..maybe...I'm waiting 15 days?!!! no PM..no nothing..What should I think?

 

Firstly let me just say, reading these messages are quite hurtful...

I, BRUm, am here. I am using my brother's DP account. A full explanation follows:

Goldmon, I'm deeply sorry about the money. To cut the long story short, my DP account was compromised by a third party. I am honest and reliable, therefore this person has tarnished my reputation. Lucky for you, seeing as I'm not a scammer, the money is still in my E-Gold account. I'm sorry for any distress this has caused, I'll send you back the full $200 asap. The PMs you have been sending, and the "Last Activity" you have been monitoring have not been from me - they are the stats. of this hacker. I have been in contact with Shawn and the forum's moderators and they understand the situation. So hopefully soon I'll have my account back. As you can see, my account (BRUm) has been banned to stop any further mishaps happening on the account. On Tuesday the 16th of January, my DP account, Namecheap account, Gmail and Bank Account were all compromised, as I foolishly used the same password for them all. So managing to get my password via SQL Injection was this person's ticket to a gold mine.

Here's the thread I made today to try and finally retrieve BRUm back: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=233492

Please PM me your E-Gold details and I'll send the money back.

Lee.

 

Any further discussion about this transaction ( or others involved with "BRUm) should be handled in private. Please see BRUms (Samba99) post above for an explanation.

Thanks.
