    Hey guys,

    So I have been scammed. I was reading through the buy/sell section and PMed a guy about his offer. He was very professional and enthusiastic, then after payment all communication stopped. Over two days I've tried contacting him a few times, he's read the messages and just not responded. I told him I would open a paypal dispute if he didn't respond, as it is very scammer like behavior. He read the message and didn't respond, so I filed. His name on paypal is "furious gfsdf" without the quotes, His name on this site is tapaspant, and here is the thread I PMed him about:

    This is a warning to you all and I'd also like to know who to report this to on this site. I've looked over the stickies, hoping I could find out who the admin is, but there are 1,000 stickies by 1,000 different people (none of which has the admin title).

    Thanks,
    yoitsmebro

    Hello,
    You should have noticed his i-trader first before placing your order.... Not sure but he might be busy with some other work and unable to reply to your messages.. better you wait for few more days.. and matters can better be resolved by soft messaging not with hard words and opening disputes.. I feel so.. I suggest you to PM this guy again with soft words and ask him about the Update I am sure you will get a positive response.

    BTW - if you are looking to contact Admin on this Forum here is the link:

    I'm sorry to hear that you got scammed and I hope the PayPal dispute will work out for you.
    One time I got scammed and lost $400 and I was furious. It's never fun to be scammed. But there's something all of you should do before you trade with real money. Download a screen recorder and record the transaction. If you get scammed, all you need to do is to give the video to PayPal and they will make sure you get your cash back. An image proof is not enough for PayPal, you need a video proof. Just a tip ;)

    Which parts of the transaction are key in order to get your money back?
