    Hey
    There's this user on DP : animepress
    He added me on to MSN some time back and yesterday asked me to promote his anime site (animeguru.net)
    He paid me $13 to do that. The mail from paypal said that he was an unverified buyer.
    Anyways i let that be and went ahead and did half of his promotion and left the rest for today as it already was VERY late.
    This morning, i got up to find $1 in my paypal account from the same guy and also a chargeback :eek::eek:
    When i asked him over msn what was that all about he said he had no clue and suddenly blocked me :|
    Now paypal has put up an enquiry in the case. Tell me how does one keep away from such "SCAMMERS" ??
    I wouldn't have called him a scammer if he wouldnt have blocked me. The moment he did that i knew something was wrong.
    Please keep away from "Animepress"

    He scammed 40$ out of me. Did a chargeback on a promotion I ran for his stupid site. Ban the user.
