Be Careful: Idiots on DP Can get your Paypal Account Limited

This sounds like the same guy that tryed to scam me http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1015207

I got my sites back after a few weeks, after i found out his real name and his address, i sent him a email saying i am going to sue him within 7 days if he dos not give me my sites back.

He gave me my sites back within 2 hours of the email i sent.

 

Oh my god, thats creepy.
Don't know why people don't spare others with scamming.

Sad. Hope you get it resolved soon.

 

I agree, you should have seen his iTraders firstly. And it was better not to deal instead of dealing with a new member, I personally check history of a old member if he does not have much iTrader.
And you should have used ecrow like service if it was a large amount deal even you had to deal with members with high traders (may be the account with high reputation was hacked)

And LR, alertpay, was a safer way of trading I think as not refund can be issued easily.

 

well done

i agree with this. i think if u email them by the "contact us" form they might be willing to listen to you. they might take 2-3 days to reply (i always have to wait) but they def will.

 

He had 7 positive itraders and nothing negative. I had no clue of Liberty Reserve so wasn't sure.

His DP name is Nicolebobbin

Thanks for the encouraging comments guys. Was away for a few days so couldn't reply

 

That was a clear scam, I have heard of similar cases where people has their blogs "bought" through a stolen Paypal account, they transfer the blog, next day Paypal blocks the funds. It is a quite common scam, and sometimes it works.

Thank you sar420 for letting us know about this.

 

guys, just in this matter's context.
do we have any option in our paypal account , so that it DOSN't allows payments being sent from an UNVERIFIED buyer ?

I am not going entirely offtopic, but want to know in this topic's context :S

 

let that be a lesson learned...

 

geee..you should've gotten suspicious right away and never accepted to have THREE transactions and then give away the blog. Very obviously fraudulent accounts.You didn't think this was odd that he paid you with three different accs?

 

Wow people even spend time to scamm other people in any way, sad to hear this understand its not fun

Well some people do anything for money, and when they hear the word jail they start shaking

Hope everything will get sorted

 

where was this guy from?

 

Thats sad... Was it a verified paypal? From what ammount do they limit your account?

 

yup, mine was a verifiewd paypal. I had $129 in it when it was made limited. This was after paypal withheld watever payments of $459 that had been made by the buyer

 

yes, better we all know the name and DP id here, so won't do something for this person later.

 

Well, the sad thing is that even if we know the nickname or username of this scammer, he will no doubts change his name and try to cheat people again. Thank you for warning us from such scammers. We should be very careful about paypal transactions now. The best is to be well-informed and being very careful when dealing with unknown people!

 

Not too off topic is the fact that when a poster asks for your paypal email id when they want site details.

I've given that out to reputable members here, but then in a few days - SPAM!!!! to my paypal email address.

That's so friggin frustrating!

 

yea there are a lot of scammers up here

 

I understand that if you are using paypal you want all your money there and that's why asked to pay by it but as he did first dispute I wouldnt even try to talk with him since that seems like scam to me.

 

good info keep it up

 

this is really scary having DP members getting screwed up by other DP members what kind of people are these. People will do dirty tricks for the love of money.
