    this guy scammed me for $12 (lukely not that big amount). the details is in that thread:

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=447874

    i send him 4 PMs and 2 emails with absolutly no response.
    i ask moderators to ban him, his next target may be $200.
    he is now selling rapidshare accounts or something, so be careful.

    good luck all.

    Who or what is Fork? Apart from an eating implement, obviously.

    Edit: Okay, now I see he is a member who dealt with you by PM: Profile link.

    He tried scamming me too via Yahoo for around 107 PP for his EG , but when i checked his paypal stats he was a member for 0 days. u should have checked that at least before sending the money.

    Give him -Ve IT rating and Always remember not to deal in any exchange threads as Mostly scammers are monitoring such threads and they always approach via PM.

    Ah another scammer thread (after few days though). Maybe you should wait a bit before reporting him to mods (though you got Mod's attention :) ). There always is a second chance. Maybe he is away from his computer and can't read your PMs? Just wait for some time. Mods will take some action for sure if he has scammed you.

    ah..
    its not a crime of history, but if you don't say anything when somebody scam you, he is gonna keep scamming others for ALOT more than $12.



    why would log out immediatly (seconds) after i sent him payment!! may be coinsidence who knows?!

    i made sure he is online when i PMed him the last time.

    a claim is on the way,and i guess this would be my last message in this topic, i don't wanna waste my (and your) precious time thalking about this.
