beware DP members Spammers around!!!!

hi DP members . i have been spammed yesterday (10-06-09) and i lost $25 from my paypal.
the members "tapcotap" and "dannybrown02" are real spammers with 0 posts and 0 itraders and joined only in june 2009.

first i received a PM from tapcotap stating to sell pr 4 domain "http://www.acl2002.org/" reg in godaddy
it was my mistake to send the money first and believed him to be a truthful trader and sent $25 to his paypal :tapcotap@rediff.com
he promised to push the domain and cheated me.
dint reply to any of my messages after i transfered the money.

and today(11-06-09) another user "dannybrown02" sent me a pm stating to sell a pr 3 domain "http://www.press-play.net" reg in godaddy. for a 25$.

i believe both users are the same person who joined in the same month of june 2009 and 0 posts.

its not about the money i lost but you worthy members of DP be carefull with such people.

 

yes, i got the same PM, but different username. You have to be carefull with zero iTrader member

 

Be aware with low Itrader, never get the deal with this kind of member. Ask another member, if you want make transaction with zero Itrader member. Don't make a deal by PM, very risky. Make all deal clear at one thread, not a pm.

Don't worry, you can dispute and got your money back.

 

thanks a lot snandy....i got a PM from dannybrown02 today (few minutes ago)...he did'nt reply my PM when i asked him to push "http://www.press-play.net" first. it's mean that he is "trully spammer". for other DP members..."BEWARE"

 

yeah i hate scammers thanks for the info m8

 

I got the same message. He offered me a nice PR 5 blog for $35.

It's too good to be true, so i just ignore it.

Don't forget to report to admin

It would be great if peon unable to send PM

 

Have you reported this to admin?? So other people doesn't need to be cheated..

 

It's nearli impossible to get pr5 domain with only $25. Yesterday, someone else gave me that offer via pm. He got 0 post and 0 itrade.
Just becarefull brothers

 

thanks for informing dude many members are getting same pm's

 

Moral of the story:
1. If someone had pr5 domain, and want to sell it. He would post it. Not sent pm to anyone.
2. Buy from, trust member

 

He sent the pm to me too, although i was straightforward! the next time someone pm's you such offers

just ask them for a push first! no deals if they don't push first!

That's what i did. he said he can't go first as he was scammed by someone who took the domain and didn't pay him then - lol he thinks he can fool us!

Best thing is to be smart & stay safe from such offers, as a responsible dp member i would say report them to mods as soon as u receive such pms & get them banned to avoid more scams by them.

 

i also received 2 pm's today from user "tapcotap" and "kairal" saying that they sell PR 3 & PR 4 domains, i dont trust them, so i delete and blacklisted them through usercp

 

i also received pm from a guy, if u happen to receive the pm like this, just ask them to transfer the domain first, dont send money in advance, otherwise u will loose ur money and will not get the domain...

 

well, I guess I'm not the only victim then. Last night I lost $15 to "tapcotap". He offered me domain PR 3 "pazise.com" and use paypal id bravoearn@rocketmail.com via PM last night. I thought he's been sleeping very long until I read this thread :mrgreen: Well, it's my mistake as I've never experienced such scam before. This is my lesson I guess.

I also recieved PM from dannybrown02 this afternoon offering me PR5 sitewide links for only $10 I asked him to install the link first but he hasn't replied until now. So I guess we have to ban him as well. Oh, he smartly use website http://dannybrown.me/ which I checked indeed has PR5.

I think I agree if there's gonna be a rule saying that everybody will have to BUY first before SELL. Maybe until it reached about 5-10 in i-trader. Just a thought

 

yeah he is a scammer . He cheated me . i lost 20 $ of mine. shut . just now i saw the thread

 

oh.. Thanks for the info

 

u should forward fake PMs to MODS.

 

So, you should check and read comments of the seller carefully before making a purchase.
What you can do now is try to require a refund from paypal. Do it ASAP.
Good luck

 

thats why becareful when dealing with new member with no iTrader.
