    Yea, I was not that familiar with it until I started at DP. I think it is the worst thing to hit the Internet, it allows scammers to get away with so much because they are using these things. It is one of the downfalls of Paypal because people who should not be using Paypal use these and than can scam other people and Paypal has no way to get the money back.

    I hope that the Mods will ban him .
    But instead of that he can register with another account .
    so the "Multi-accounts detector Plugin" . is a must for this forum . because we see many returns of some scammers .:mad:

    But this is not enought , if the member has 0 posts , the search sytem will not work .becase it dont include the registration IP ;
    but with the developped VB product it can detect Ips with more precision ;

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=433206

    Also, what do I do? I put up a direct claim. Hey trocobob we will ask the board moderators to give us the IP and we will forward to PayPal

    Also, that ass lives in my same country (India), I will chases him down and kill him.

    trocobob, please help me out by helping yourself and do PM a mod and ask him for the IP and do mention my username to the mod if you need to prove more than 1 person has been scammed.

    I make twice as much as I lost in a day, but yet it pains my heart to loose that much money.

    It would have been better if I donated to DP's fund raising or something of that kind... rather than to the scammer [angry like hell]

    This is very sad news. Scammers are using DP for their activities. While it is true that a good iTrader will give you a safety zone, have some time to check if they have dealt such transaction you are planning to do so before. It is also very disturbing that some DP members do transact businesses with less iTrader people only to boost their iTrades by paying $3 and commenting 'Nice service A+'

    I have reported him to PayPal. I called over phone and asked PayPal if they could help me out quicker. They said, I have to wait for 10 days before any action is taken on the user.
