we have negotiated via PM, and deal with $50. for a Vbullettin licence that he will transfer to my forum. he asked me to transfer the money as a gift, his reason so that paypal doesnt take the fee..so we have a deal! but after the paying he leaves.. i have tried to claim it to paypal, but this will happen if you transfer as a gift.. so i can't claim it..and my money will be not refund.. and advice from me..don't transfer any money as a gift if you dont know the person..because paypal will not detect it as scam and they will not refund your money..(more info read their TOS) so always use option "goods or service". and now he is back..and doing act..given a negative feed back to me.. and said he has the PROOF...what a shame..poor guy.. i wanna see what he is going to show people that he called PROOF,.. (maybe photoshoped printscreen or something like that.) i am new in this forum..so i thougt because he has many positive feedback he is trusted..but now i've been scammed by him. be carefull if you make any transaction with this user Totality for moderator Please Ban him..before the same thing happen again..
He had several -ve traders before. Surely that would have rung the bell for you? Sorry for the loss though I don't think de mods will ban him as DP doesn't get involves in trade disputes.
I sympathize with you, you should take this as a learning experience and be thankful that it was only $50, so next time when you are dealing with $500 you'll be more careful Secondly staff here doesn't get involved in member disputes, so I'm afraid no one can help you. I also noticed that even though it was a private transaction done through PM, you left 2 negative itraders for the same deal on an unrelated thread and ofcourse the other guy retaliated, this is also against the rule as I understand them.
So wait, digitalpoint doesn't ban scammers (provided the proof is obvious)? Why not? People are being banned for much lesser reasons..
DP isn’t judge or jury and don’t normally get involved in deals. I hope you get a good outcome. Thanks Brian
We ban scammers, dupes, and shillers everyday...but it's not our job to verify the authenticity of every product or service being offered. Buyer beware.
The Reason they don't ban Scammers is because they don't get involved in personal/business disputes. Which is in the FAQ and the reason you see so many banned members is they did not follow the FAQ/Rules
Yes. If there are conclusive evidence and it is very evident and clear from the surface, the mods will ban / give infractions. @OP You did not see his I-traders ?? Don't send money as a gift if you are dealing with someone for the first time. BIG MISTAKE. I liked the second I-trader you gave him. You are very straightforward.
Yeah. I know. Probably the OP was so upset after receiving the negative i-trader and gave two to that guy.
