Expertguy - A scammer on RUN

Discussion in 'General Chat' started by goodwebmasters, Aug 15, 2007.

    Recently when I started a thread for exchanging egold to paypal a DP member named expertguy contacted me.
    We agreed upon exchanging of $150.
    After I sent him the money , It has been five days and still there is no reply from him.
    I sent him many messages, warning etc..
    No use.
    But he still visits the forums ,purchases many things and do post too.
    I made a search on his name(Damn I should have done this before sending the money) and I found many people in the past are scammed by him and started a thread on him.
    My question is why he is still not banned with so many scams done by him along with the evidence for that?

    Here is one such thread
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=414700


    No I sent e-gold
    So no charge back possible
    I exchanged with him since he had good itrader.
    My point now is why is not banned and still allowed to move freely in DP and scamming many people. The mods can just ban him(Ofcourse the scammed people have enuf information and I have enough screenshots to backup my complain. So all I want to know is why he isn't banned

    Also never trade with someone that spams your PM.
    And never trade with someone with low itrade.

    I feel sorry for you but this happens here. Many scammers are free to visit and trade I should say scam others. I really don't know the purpose of this leniency.

    If you are going to trade with a stranger do this before your trade;


    1- Find his posts
    2- Check iTrader Feedbacks not the number.
    3- If you find him/her suspicious, report Mods.

    What to do now;


    1- Alert others (you have done this)
    2- Give him/her -ve iTrader
    3- Report Mods

    Before I started trading with him.
    1)I checked his posts. He made sure that he doesnt post anything about the threads started regarding his scams
    2)I checked his itrader feedbacks, Dint find negative itrader( He had itrader of 32)

    Regarding what should I do now

    1)I alerted others. But its of no use. People refer the itraders and his previous posts and may get scammed just like me
    2)he does the dealing through PM so I don't think I can find anyone trying to do exchange and warn them. So more people will be scammed for sure
    3- I do reported to the MOD. Hope he gets banned and so not many people scammed by him

    Sorry to hear that. You can leave him a negative Itrader yourself why don't you?
