Suggestion Scammer | Multiple ID's | I received Infraction | No action on scammer

    Hello,

    “Team” (DigitalPoint id) was selling social bookmarking service on digital point. I purchased his services. He never replied after payment. I also sent him the pm with the details of the service. He did not reply, after 2 days I added his id on msn and asked him what happened of the job, at that time he said that his id is tcnmart and asked on which id I sent the pm. Later he said it will be completed and so on. He never completed and stopped replying. I reported the mod for duplicate id and Later I posted in his thread all this and the post was deleted and I received an infraction. But there was no action taken on the seller. Instead I received an infraction of Bumping Post.

    When I filed the dispute in paypal, He is not ready to refund and he is blaming me. The scammers are still surviving on dp.

    Please suggest what is the solution to such a problem.

    I have attached the necessary images.

    DigitalPoint Moderators do not get involved in Member Disputes Leave Negative I-Trader and Rep.

    Really unfortunate, people like these make genuine traders on DP look bad. Really PATHETIC, i hope mods take some action against it.

    Hello,

    The point is not the money he scammed. The point is that none of the moderators are taking action on dupe ids (team and tcnmart) and i received an infraction instead.

    Thanks

    There are multiple issues involved in your post.

    1. You received an infraction for the post

    on thread "Need some forum posters." Your infraction is no way related to your issue with the social bookmarking service. PM sent / PM replied posts serve no purpose other than bump threads. Recipients know you have replied.

    2. Social bookmarking services are not allowed on DP. When you see such threads, click on the bad post report button, [​IMG], and make a bad post report stating what is wrong.

    3. Duplicate IDs are not allowed. When you suspect duplicate IDs alert us using bad post report button. Duplicate ID
    research takes time. Please be patient. We work duplicate ID reports as rapidly as we can.

    As others have stated we do not get involved in member dispues.

    Because you should have used the '[​IMG]' report button instead of posting. Which could be classified as Running up your post count/spam.

    I first posted in the thread not to increase my post count; it was to make the DP members aware of scammers like him. Then I reported to the moderator. When I went to give him itrader his thread was deleted and I was given infraction. Now this scammer is surviving here with multiple ids. I will not be scammed by him again but the other members will be scammed.

    Gotta admit that sounds like what mods here have told people previously to do. That and the warning of only doing it once.

    Not sure what's happening in this case.

    You didn't. You got an infraction for posting "pm replied" as Smyrl mentioned.

    Um, yes. You did. You can't see it anymore because the post was deleted, but mods still can see the deleted post tied to your infraction. That's what you posted. It's against the rules. That's why you got an infraction. End of story.

    Thanks

    You did not get an infraction for reporting anyone. You got an infraction for posting pm replied. You can't see if there's been "no action" on someone else's account because you can't see infractions given or not given. We don't get involved in private business disputes. What still isn't clear?

    If you suspect multiple ids are the same person, use the report post option and include proof that moderators can verify (screenshots of conversations off of DP wouldn't count for much... it's too easy for people to fake screenshots to go after people they have a problem with, trying to get them banned). Do not start threads about it.
