    If you owned a few accounts with itrader and good postcount you can then create a new scam-account and give it itrader positives immediately.

    Scam-account gets banned after stealing money from others but your original few accounts can be used to do exactly the same again.

    AFAICS no way to stop this - could check IPs but that only forces use of proxies.

    My impression is that most offers on here seem to be possible-likely scams. Why does everyone demand paypal transfer only - no cc payment or escrow? Either of those last two are safer for buyer although cc maybe leaves seller open to cc chargebacks after receiving goods by scammer-buyer. Solution?

    I was also scammed once by some one (goldiejones).

    Payment sent through paypal for three articles and not received any related message or mail till now.

    Also not getting any reply of my mail.

    When i put a disagree message (itrader) with his profile then i received also a disagree message that "Article sent but payment not sent till now beware" :(

    I lose by two way first money and second my itrader :(

    Its really necessary to take some action on these types of members :)

    Thanks :)

    He has 10 aliases he goes by with and he uses several computers in order not to be traced by same IP .............. he is a true con artist . But no one goes on robbing people for long . Because he robs people and doesn't earn his money it will cost him more sorrow then joy . If you believe in bible , it says , you can only hide your robbery , prostitution and gambling habits for 40 days , then your true nature will reveal itself and everyone will know about it .
    In our case , this guys actions truely did put a big dent to his reputation and also to the reputation of the same category people . What he did here is that he sort of halted of buying traffic here , causing him and other losers a great deal of money loss .
    I think we did take a point out of all this and next time it will be hard for us to be scammed again in the same situation .

    Members , please we must keep this thread live , as much as we can , in order other innocent DP members not to get cheated . If this thread stays live for a while , it will at least send a message to all the scammers here that we will not tolerate this kind of conning and cheating anymore .

    Ive Got beaten dozens of times on DP. Its not Dp's fault at all, Im a member of many webmaster forums,every single forum has the same problem, scammers are everywhere, you have to take the good with the bad, Ive made alot of money at DP, so to get scammed for a couple hundred is well worth the free membership here. And a few times i had problems mods were more than happy to help.

    Ive met alot of honest, trustworthy individuals here.
    I think more important than itrader, reviews, and prices, is the length of time of a member. i pretty much ignore all business with new members even though some are probably not scammers.

    By the way - I always buy adult/non adult traffic so if you are a real traffic seller with proof shoot me a pm. and dont bother if your a Peon ;)

    Good luck to everyone.

    First I want to say iTrader means nothing . I will never have one because I only sell traffic on my site and not on the forum . But I do advertise my services on this forum .(does that make since?)

    Second if you do not want to be scammed personally talk to the people who wrote the reviews .

    Third SHUT DOWN HIS PAYPAL ACCOUNT!!!!! But how do I do that ? Well after so many disputes within a certain amount of time paypal freezes accounts .

    Call paypal tell them enough people do this his paypal account will be revoked .

    Last but not least use some common sense !!!!!!!! If a deal sounds too good to be true , You know what, IT IS!!

    That is about all the advice I can give ya .

    BTW according to DP, moderators are not to get involved with member disputes . Least that is what I gathered from reading all the little rules and stuff .

    One last thing I want to make it clear that I for sure do not know this individual is scamming anyone . Maybe they is sending them hits and not visitors . Which a hit can be a real visit but does not stay on website long enough for website to load . I do not know what the problem is .

    How are they getting there traffic ? If they will not answer that question than it is time to move on .

    Real resellers like myself try to give as much information as possible . Look at this thread http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=968720 That is my sells thread you will notice in my sig file I have a link to my review colum .

    I try to give the customer all the information I can . So that way the customer knows exactly what he/she is getting . That way if it is not what they like than they can backout before any payment is made and no hard feeling .

    I also invite the customer to ask questions . Nothing I hate worse than a customer placing an order and not know exactly what I am delivering . Makes for a disatisfied customer . A dissatisfied customer means that they probably will not order from me again . That is what I survive off of repeat business .

    If all resellers used this method just maybe there would be less scams .

    If all customers asked questions before purchase maybe just maybe there would not be such bad reputaion about traffic sellers .

    Have you read the intro or any other replies on this thread ? Well , it will help you a lot to understand exactly what are we talking about .
    I can't speak for every traffic seller here because it won't be fair to the honest people , but i can give you a friendly advice , be careful on what you buy , from who you buy and how much you buy .

    Artiny hehe some times you just gotta let em learn . You can not save everyone . You can pump em full of information but it does not mean they will learn anything . I feel sorry for him .But ahhh what can you do . In a few days he will be crying he was scammed .

    I was wandering about some ways to protect buyer and seller as far as a payment processor is concerned. Paypal is awful in both cases . Because a customer can file a dispute Paypal sides with seller and customer files a charge back with CC company . I had a customer who did that for me . He sent me an email pretty much laughing haha I got my traffic and my money .What kind of protection is there for sellers in those circumstances? There are some ultra scamming customers out there . Not just sellers but man those buyers can be scandlous at times .

    Needless to say in this case I kept the email and try to follow through trying to get my money (it was not because it was a huge amount it was just the principle of it) and to no avail . Everyone just gave me the run around and blew me off. I called up paypal and told them hey I PAY you you work for me . You are my payment processor you should protect us from fraudulent buyers like this . They told me nothing they could do .

    WHAT DO YOU DO? Nothing you take it like a man . Because in the long run that litle 5#1t will get his .At some point that little %#1t will be scammed for thousands of dollars and I can only hope that someone will report it to the media so everyone can laugh at him .

    Now that is the way to do business . Sell it in your website and not here . And I think that is why there are so many scammers here with no website but selling traffic.

    I am not going to give good or bad review because I don't want to be responsible for anybody who might know differently , but you should check out targeted visitors daily's website and gather your own review .

    Same here and I noticed Artiny that you are doing the right thing by fighting back . Because of your thread I decided not to buy anything before I do a good research . Thank you
