BEWARE!!! - TZ4BU is a scammer. Do NOT buy Adwords Vouchers

    Beware of user tz4bu. I posted a request to purchase adwords vouchers, he agreed to sell me (3) $100 vouchers for $15. He gave me his paypal address to process payment. He accepted the payment instantly and then never answered any emails or PM communications.

    Just in case he has multiple usernames his paypal id is and his name in paypal says Afrasanei Ion.

    It's all about good karma so why such shadiness over a measly $15 bucks. It's barely worth my time to write this message but this is my contribution to help others avoid scam artist like this.

    All over $15? He must be a desperate kid.

    Maybe we should investigate this.

    Did you file a dispute at Paypal? If not you may get your money back. Although it is a digital service, you should try it.

    Does sound too good to be true..... if I had the vouchers, I would rather used it to break even with adsense and take the difference....

    Where did you found him?

    I have seen many persons selling vouchers in this 'google adwords' sub-forum..
    Do not buy from anyone who sells here.. Try the Buy/sell/Trade section > Vouchers sub-forum. You get better deals, and the iTrader system allows you to leave negative Feedback if a user scams you. (that helps others to identify him in future)

    And, if anyone just deals in PM's, it'll be good to ignore them. Always trust those who have a proper [WTS] thread for selling anything. If you get a PM from any person, ask for their thread link for the same deal..

    Whats his username on here?

    You should alert digitalpoint of the scammer, they may be able to pass his details onto authorities.

    First of all, thanks for informing here. You must post to administrator, that he is scammer and dp will ban him. Next, you have to start a dispute in paypal, so that you have chance to get money back.

    And you must be very careful, because now a days, lot of scammers are there, and dont think that you get 3 100 vouchers for $100. Just be careful to people who have 0 itrades, and new.

    Firstly - mods and admins don't get involved in deals between members - paypal may refund you- try them.
    Secondly what Azkaban said can't be emphasised enough - all sales of vouchers should be in the bst section, where members have to have been registered for 2 weeks, have 25 posts and are liable for itrader reviews. Sales of vouchers in this forum should be reported to mods, to be moved or deleted. Don't buy anything from someone who advertises them here with only 1 post. That should set alarm bells off at once.
