There is one person, who has so far registered on this forum with at least 5 different IDs, don't know why but he believes that I am a soft target for him. He tried to scam me all the 5 times. At first he was successful to scam me for $7.5. (not a big amount so I didn't care) Second time he was successful to trade a fraudulent MB with me but at that time I had nothing to loose as he got that fund by scamming some other person from MB balance so I was not at loss but still it hurt me when I came to know that the fund which I was having had been sent to me by scamming some hard working guy. After some time of that trade he again came to me for another trade but by that time I already had knew him as a scammer so I just ignored him, fortunately at that time the guy whom he had scammed before that second scam was chatting with me about his trade with that scammer. At that time we just ignored him but after some time I just realized that it was a great chance for me to grab the money from that scammer & pay it back to the victim of his scam. After that incidence he tried to trade with me with 3 different ids so far in the last 3 days by PM & I found him banned within short period for scamming few more members. Now my question is, suppose he again came to me with one more new ID to trade & since I am having 50+ itrade, I know that he will send me the payment first, suppose I have strong evidence that he is the same scammer & I am very much sure about it, should I grab his fund & wait for some time to find out if some one has been scammed by him & then pass that fund back to the original owner of that fund ? I know in this case my payment processor can be at risk but I think in case of e-gold I can take a risk with a different e-gold a/c. My intention of this thread is just to warn that scammer, as I know he is tracking me by reading all my posts. And he is one of the best spammers with 50-60 posts in a day. Please give your neutral view here, Is Scamming a Scammer, a Crime ?
What our judicial system is doing.. There is a rule to kill the murderer by hanging him or electric shock or poison. Is our judicial system doing a crime ??
you should have asked this question after committing the crime. I think the scammer will read this post and he will not deal with you..
I'm against the capital murder On a serious note, I wouldn't waste my time on this if I were you. Just forget about the guy and move on. You could have probably made those $7.5 in the time you spent writing this thread. Just my 2 cents......
My prime intention is this only. I don't want to involve with him any more. I hope he will not try to contact me after reading this. At least I don't want to get any fund from his negative work.
IMHO its better to scam the scammer rather than "hey MOVE on", I think you should get his history! His IP, photos, where he lives, telephone no, address, where he works, his blogs, his sites, etc., and black mail him for 1000$. Just my 2 cents!
Cylon is correct, he's not going to lose his own money, he's just losing something he had stole. The only chance you have of getting back at him is banning him from the sites he visits and does business at... and we all know that isn't going to happen.
Scam him for BIG amount of money, but be serious @ that. He may pay you, then never look @ his PC again... He may flip burgers @ mc donalds.. he he Scamming is not the way of doing business, scammers should be punished the hard way!
One thing that just crossed my mind is that this guy may be selling stuff that he bought elsewhere. If it is a VCC (as it sounds) then he may have bought it off someone else dirt cheap. He may just be linked to a scammer and not even know it.
No, the person has never asked me for VCC. He had always asked me for a trade. Only e-gold to MB or MB to e-gold. BTW I am not a reseller of VCCs. I am getting this facility from my bank. And could you please explain me in the above Para. where have you mentioned he for me & where for that person. It is confusing me, is your intention is to say me a scammer or his partner!!!!
I think that scamming a scammer is still scamming. I feel that stealing from a thief is still stealing and I think that you will become one of them if you start stealing whether from an honest person or from a scammer. So you should ignore him completely and warn other people if you have evidences that he is the same scammer.
Surely its only a crime if you have asked the scammer to part with any money, getting them to do ridiculous things like the 419 baiters do, I wouldn't consider a crime
Stealing from a thief & keep it with you is a crime. But what if you give that thing back to it's real owner.......
