Scammer alert: bling

    I saw the user 'bling' was selling a tagged bot in this post:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=3336120&postcount=22

    So I decided to contact him. We talked, and I was about to do the deal. $300 for his Tagged bot. But before I sent the money I asked for a screenshot, he sent me this:
    [​IMG]

    This is the exact same bot a programmer I know made and sells for $20.

    So I asked bling if sevenz (the programmer) made that for him, and he said yes. However, when I asked sevenz if he made it for this fellow, bling, he said no he did not.

    That's the situation, I suggest the mods/admins take action on bling before he actually does sell this $20 program for $300. Sorry to any of you who have purchased it yet (if any), I suggest you file a Paypal claim.

    Those who are actually interested in sevenz Tagged bot (and other bots) please check out:

    Well sevenz didn't even know who this guy was, so I'm assuming he doesn't even have a legit copy.

    Umm PayPal won't do anything so don't bother filing a claim. They only cover PHYSICAL goods and not virtual items. I tried with them a while back when I lost 1k to a domain and they wouldn't do a thing because it wasn't physical items. Therefore you're fucked if you bought this for $300.

    nah they will cover some virtual goods, but they only cover if there isnt delivery.

    So you could say that you never received any money.

    I have done this before when I got ripped off by a scammer trying to sell me bogus traffic, so i lied through my teeth to paypal mentioning charity etc... but it was all for a good cause :D

    I can't really see how you can lie about a tagged.com bot. "Oh yeah paypal I was promoting our church via Tagged.com" Lol.
