AVOID: noniman. HE ripped me OFF FOR $1,050.00. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

    Noniman bought a business from me for $1,050.oo and paid through paypal. I thought all was well since it was a verified paypal account and transferred everything over to him.

    2 Days later I get a email saying that the funds have been placed on hold while a investigation occurs. I lost all that money, that i needed for other site and script purchases.

    For those of you that don't know him:

    This is his site about some sort of JUice

    His Blog
    His User Profile

    IF YOU HAVE ANY DEALS PENDING WITH HIM DO NOT GO THROUGH WITH THEM AT ALL!

    did you transfer an actual (registered) business?...

    don't you have proof of all the sales and everything in order to backup the sale in a paypal claim?

    For that amount, I'm sure there's something you can do to recoup some of the loss... Don't give up; and good luck :)

    Is he still talking to you or he just disappeared?
    Because I was on the other side of this situation during this sale: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=447548
    I made payment, got the site and then paypal put this money on hold. I took me 2 days and several hours on the phone to resolve this situation.

    I was about to loose $1750 USD! But thank goodness I got escaped from that Scammer. I had some 750 USD in MB and 1000 USD in EGOLD. He came in MSN and wanted both, luckily my EGOLD was locked since I lost my password 7 requested for a new one. And my MB was locked since they wanted my documents to review.

    He sent $1750 USD in PayPal.. and I don't know what the hell happened... my account went limited (due to unauthorized acitivity) and then the fund was on hold. I was about to return the money back to him, but was MAD crazy. and acted like a stupid dumb.

    I called up paypal and requested them to reverse the fund, I couldnt see him online in MSN or DP. And he ignored my messages.

    I just wanted to say one thing, off late I have lost $750 USD in less than 2 weeks, I know thats a huge money but again.. lots and lots of scammers are popping up. I am sure there are more people who are loosing who are feeling bad to share their expeirience. But frankly speaking I have learned a biggest lesson from DP and would be secure henceforth.

    I would keep members alterted of any scammers or fraud members here. Lets fight against the Scammers!

    :( !!!

    Cheers!

    Scammers just seem to be popping right out of the wood work lately. :eek:

    I feel for you... It's never a pleasant experienced getting scammed.

    Let us know how it turns out and good luck with any future transactions.

    Yeah, that new law about PayPal's chargeback is being exploited hardcore.
    Sorry to see you get scammed. I won't have any dealings with him.

    Got the website and domain back luckily enough.

    It's still bad though becauase my account is now -500 and just annoying the hell out of me, will get some cash in there soon but in the mean time I am pretty restricted.

    Srsy I am not even dealing with people without escrow anymore from now on,

    This is just a FYI from my own experiences with PayPal during the last years.

    Usually a PayPal investigation occurs when the buyer pays an X amount of money which he generated from obscure sources or AUP violating businesses. It happened to me a few times during the last 5 years and PayPal always refunded me. In case of domains transfers, you can usually output PP's investigation as proof and get your domain back.

    As for an account being locked due to unauthorized activity. This usually means you have reached a certain treshold of payments that origin from members that engaged in fraudulent activity or at one point have had their account limited. It's then advised by PayPal to watch with whom you deal.

    In any case, if you do get scammed and complain at PayPal (be persistent & informative). There's a very good chance you get your money back (eventually). Overload PayPal with proof, they have experienced employees who investigate matters.
