Just a HEADS UP to all....Please read.

The BusinessMan and goga IDs look very suspicious also. Wouldn't be surprised if they were his also.

 

Yes, I agree, those two did some spruiking during my auction.

 

Wow. Thats really messed up. What a scumbag.

 

I'm glad to know there are more honest people than there are those who will do whatever it takes to make an extra few bucks.

Thanks for the info PGZ. I am sure there are more people doing this kind of things. In anyone can find of more such members, please post the details and expose them on this thread.

 

Good to know - thanks for sharing.... That just reinforces that fact that the best sale sand auctions are with members that have a good track record... I guess lucky for me, I don't remember seeing that user around

 

Thanks for the info. It really bothers me when people do things like this. I'm glad you were still able to dispute with PP. Happy to see him banned. Happy Honest trading everyone!

 

That is deffinently bad business and a crappy person.

But taking legal action, or calling him a fraud... that's a bit extreme... he didn't force you to keep bidding or pay a price you weren't willing to pay. And you did get the site at the price you agreed to pay right?

I want to be clear.. I'm not condoning his actions at all, he's a total scumbag for doing that - but I just don't think it's illegal or anything.

 

Thanx for sharing, I think i also know a person who has been bidding with me in last 6 websites i have bought, i will also do some digging and report to shawn if i find something fishy about it.

 

Post number 9 is Link Seller turned into harry97. So yes he was part of your auction.
even worse, as other DPers mentionned, goga and BusinessMan are also him.

Note too the "for me" they all use.

PGZ, kindly contact shawn with these 2 accounts.

 

It really does look as though goga is hyping the auction in that thread. I mean, who would try to talk up the value of a site they were hoping to win in an auction?!

It also looks as if Harry forgot which user was which although that could be because Shawn merged Harry97 + Link Seller.
Note the gap in the name, "Link Seller," not to be confused with LinkSeller.

 

Good eye, lets get these scum bags away from DP

 

contacted shawn...

I say this warning should be posted on other forums as well.

Edit:

All of them turned into a harry97.

Rod, contact paypal.

Edit2:

another victim http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=56174 that should be contacted

 

Maybe this case highlights the need for IP addresses to be shown against every post in the Buy, Sell and Trade forums?

If the IP was shown we would be able to investigate each poster ourselves rather than relying on a mod to spot duplicate IP's (the mods can see the IP of each post I believe).

 

PayPal was notified as soon as I spied the thream this morning.

 

Damn so harry was even worse than I thought also....

PGZ

 

Yep I have the site but the day I figured all this out he was selling a copy of the exact same site he had sold to me on DP.

I exchanged PMs with him in reference to him selling what he had sold me already.

I dont even have the site up. I was scammed into thinking it was something it wasnt. He can have his site I dont want it.

PGZ

 

Shill bidding is piss poor business. I know I'm relatively knew and all, but it amazes the hell out of me that people think they can get away with these antics with this crowd.

 

Heres another of his trap that WordImpulse sent me http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=56174

Such a looser.

 

Actually, I PMed a few members today, one of them i think was worldimpulse, telling them that they may have been subject to fraud from harry.
