    looks like a few people are having problems in that thread :(
    but dp mods or admin do not get involved in this sort of problem , you have done the right thing and left negative itrader , lets hope no-one else ends up losing money , regards karl

    Mmmm. This reciprocal iTrader lark is a bit bollocks. I'm currently facing a bit of a dilemma myself after having lent $20 to an apparently reputable and longstanding member. It was only meant to be a few day but now, about a month later, all I get are excuses. A shame really, because I'll be more cautious lending to someone really in need in the future.

    He's been here a year and has 100% iTrader (about 30 trades). Not much green rep because he hasn't posted that much.

    im doing the same thing
    i just trust some users that i know them
    like bilalinamdar , Nio ,...
    but a guy guaranteed this scammers service
    although i knew $10 for such a hosting package and for 5 years would be really funny and there must be something fishy
    but well
    another guy guaranteed so i thought $10 wont hurt
    paid and got scammed
    anyways
    that was another new experience :)

    I would ignore itrader completely, green blobs as well and a year is really not that much time. Unless somebody refers you to someone, you need to be very careful.

    I know that now. Just too trusting is my problem - do unto others as you would wish to be done to you.

    It can happen to anyone, don't beat yourself up. I have done business with a one year member about 5 times and he always did me right, until one day he started scamming people.

    You really never know ...

    That's way too good to be true. The simple fact of $10.00 for five years, oh wait he says lifetime website hosting is $10.00 :eek:, 500GB bandwidth for each account, come on, how would be pay the internet bill.

    I'm surprised he didn't say after the first three months you'll get $5.00 back for being a good customer lol.

    I bet he's going to take your money and run.

    The in the Content-Creation forums aren't too happy with him either.
    Apparently he didnt pay them for posting on his warez forum.

    PS: IM5202 - dont double post or you'll be given infractions.

    that's exactly my problem too, but after i lost a lot of money with a scammer who is now banned, i learned my lesson, i still love to help people and newbies here. but because of this bad experience am now more careful about lending money or even using dp members services. (am not saying that dp service providers are bad, i paid thousands of dollars to DP freelancers..)

    if you want to lend money to someone, thats ok but check his itrader, reputation and take a look at his posts too.
