Did I just get scammed ??

    I was selling a domain+templates+sites package when this member offered me BIN for them, he payed fast and I sent the domain immediately.

    the member is babloo

    He sent me the payment from Clemmie Scott's paypal account and now my funds have been limited due to an investigation in unauthorized payments.
    the whois details I sent the domain to were to

    Pradeep Rathinam
    15457 SE 60th Place
    Bellevue, WA 98006
    United States

    I also just noticed that the buyer had another 4 transactions today...
    Now the weird thing is that I googled clemmie scott and this came up http://www.linkedin.com/pub/7/18b/866 (Look at the experience part)...
    I sent all details of the transaction to paypal and hopefully I will get my money back.

    Ironically, the reason I was selling them was because I was short on money and I wanted to pay my hosting fee's. (now it looks like I'm out of money and I lost my domains as well...)

    Until then, I would strongly advise you that you stay away from this user as it seems that he has been buying things with a hacked paypal account.

    Now has this ever happened to you before ?? do you think there is a chance that I could get my money back ??

    Wow, that really is bad. Thankfully I haven't had anyone do that to me. Worst that has ever happened is some people didn't pay me as they promised they would after I delivered the articles.

    I will say do keep tracking that domain name and when ever you find any site on that just mail hosting company about this and they will close him account . If you cant get back anything atleast teach him good lesson .

    Scammers target DP because of the huge traffic per day. It's really sad :(
    On one side, we are celebrating because DP's got more than 200,000+ members and on the other side, we complain each day about scammers:(

    But Life goes on...................
