    Many of us here in this Buy, Sell or Trade Forum come here all the time and do business almost everyday.

    I bought a site from harry97 back in Jan and Link Seller was one of the people I was bidding against. Since that day I have watched harry97 and his auctions for all different types of sites. I would always see Link Seller bid but never win.

    I added one and one together and came to the conclusion that harry97 and Link Seller were one in the same. I PMed Shawn and let him know what I thought and he verified my thoughts. They or should I say harry97 was using Link Seller to jack up the price of his sites.

    Whats funny is dumbass used the same IP for both screen names. Shawn has BANNED:D harry97 for his actions.

    Just thought you should all know so if you come into contact with him again in the future.

    Also Take in mind there is a member that has the nick of Linkseller one word at this site this is not the one I speak of.

    Shawn has changed Link Sellers name to who it really was harry97.

    See this link you'll see what I mean....where you see harry97 bidding that was Link Seller/harry jacking the price up. He did this quite abit to others after this sale back in Jan.

    Not only does this warn me of such a seller, but I am now totally annoyed.
    I personally think you should take further actions. No idea if anything legal can be done here but this action is equivalent to stealing money from your own pocket.
    I say you contact other buyers and get something fixed, like ask him for a refund, or make disputes with paypal.
    This really annoys me more when I think of the time and effort each one of us put into his sites and then come people like harry who would get much more, without working on these sites, and by using very low technique.
    Such people are what make internet business more and more dodgy.
    Also, im sure i've already sent remarks towards harry on this forum or on another. I'll try to see if i find any. Ive seen his name many times before.

    He used Link Seller to get more money out of many of his auctions. He is in Pakistan so no legal crap will work. Since it been just alittle over a month I dont think I can yell fraud with PP. I will look though.

    No...............In my initial post I said not him....The other one seperated the 2 words.....Link Seller.

    Shawn has changed that name to harry97 also so everyone could see what he was doing.....Look at the link in my initial post.

    Also I just found out you have 45 days to file a claim with PP. I just filed it but you know how PP is.

    I suggest others that were scammed also file.

    What a schmakel. This is part of the reason for the iTrader that Shawn implemented I think, but sadly, it wouldn't catch some determined fkg con like this right away.

    Good catch PGZ.

    Harry97 sold me a sit a few days ago (that I was perfectly happy with) and before we have settled the deal Harry 97 gets banned on digitalpoint.

    He still owes me a domain name transfer that I've paid for. Why couldn't Shawn have contacted those who were in the middle of completing their deals before sending Harry97 to the hills?

    Now I have to go through PayPal for a refund I guess. About time DP modified up the site selling section I guess.

    Sorry Rod but do we wait till he scams 10 more people while you get your site.

    If you PP him his money you have his email address and if you didnt I have it for you.
