    Hey guys wanted to tell you that Pitu has scammed me.I send him $700 on moneybookers and he said that he would send me an NEFT payment.Its been 6 days and i havent received any money.Upon that i cant PM him on this forum now as i get a message saying that Pitu doesnt receive PM messages.Also i tried emailing him but again the email has bounced.So basically i can confirm that i have been scammed by him.

    If any of you guys have any advice as to where to report such complaints please do let me know.

    Maybe you shouldn't rely on people about your money. I don't know Pitu, maybe you should have added the url to his user profile.

    I don't think monekbookers can help you. They have banned money exchange. BUt you can still try. Also contact the forum admin and get him banned so that he doen't scam more people.
    If you are from india then what what you can do, is contact the Police cyber crime division and lodge a complain. This is a valid case for 'theft and phishing' category. If you received any email from him, then they can trace his IP, contact the ISP and get the details, address and arrest him. For this to happen you need to have considerable influence like from a police commissioner or a IAS or MLA or something or else they will just ignore you and put ur complaint in the endless list of such cases.
    $700 is 35000 INR . That's a lot of money. How did you trust somebody blindly, with that much money?
    If you made a straight withdrawal at least you would have received 85% of it.Now you lost everything.

    u r absolutely wrong .
    this is money exchange and this is strictly not allowed in moneybookers

    and this is not phishing .this is straight money exchange and moneybookers jurisdiction is in uk not in india .Only moneybookers can take any action if they wish,other than that no one can take any action .

    Yes, Thats exactly what i said.How is that wrong. i said they banned it.
    If he is in india and pitu is in india and moneybookers is in uk how can moneybookers help 2 indians from the UK?
    This is not a phishing attack.But 'theft and phishing' both share the same category in Indian cyber law. That's the category name.

    First of all this is not theft nor phishing .
    this is dispute between 2 parties .
    what reason for this dispute - Money Exchange .
    Which is completely illegal in moneybookers

    " money exchange or remittance businesses, including but not limited to bureaux de change, currency exchanges and purchase of travel money "

    and Moneybookers clearly told this


    Your Skrill (Moneybookers) Account is operated in the United Kingdom and these Terms of Use shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute under these Terms of Use or otherwise in connection with your Skrill (Moneybookers) Account shall be brought exclusively in the courts of England and Wales

    Only moneybooker can do that is take down both account and seized the fund nothing else .
