Well, I had a proxy of mine for sale http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=590878 Anyways, I got a PM from Rhonda stating she wanted to buy my proxy at BIN and to pm me my Paypal. Having such a fast transaction is suspicious but I went along. While I was waiting for payment I went and did some digging on a site of hers, and found out her name was Rhonda Gregory. So I get my payment, from Zachary Berkovitz, lol. Thats when the alarm bells went off, PM'd the buyer back and she claimed it was her brother. Who lets other people use your paypal account. So i'm about to PM back and say either pay under your own name or use escrow, but i couldn't send a PM since the person had changed their forum email. Anyways, I was just gonna refund the payment when i get an unauthorized transaction dispute. LOL, surprise. Not really. Anyways, if Rhonda try's to buy anything from you now, I think her account has been hacked, so I wouldn't bother dealing with someone from that account anymore. If the mods cound ban, that'd be even better, doubt its gonna happen though EDIT: Rhondas user profile is http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=51690 This is a good lesson that iTrader doesn't mean much.
so you're calling her a scammer for using an account which isn't under her first/last name ?? you're just thinking way too much a head , she could be saying the truth !
No, i'm calling her a scammer for: a) Paying under an account which is not her name b) Changing her email the second I question who she is c) GETTING AN UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTION CHARGE BACK 20 MINUTES LATER
Good thing you were smart enough to hold the domain. Looks like there is a freeze on the account, you can not even access the profile. Gladyou didn't lose you money and sit.
Yeah, my new policy is to hold a domain between a minimum of 7 days, up to 61 days if I'm really suspicious. The reason for this is most people will notice an unauthorized transaction for $500 and up pretty fast. Jason was scammed out of one of his big proxies also for $650, transferred the domain and had a chargeback next day.
i use my brothers paypal from time to time to accept/make payments, he's a cop, so wanna rip him off lol try it. i use my own mostly, but there is no point sending money from his account to mine and then me to send it to other people, paypal just gets fat off the fee's so he makes payments with money he has of mine to people i ask him to pay. that dont mean i am a scammer huh?
No, samantha pia - you don't ask for charge back, 30 mins later, scammers do. I hope my point is clear.
Scammers are getting to common on these forums, we really need a better way of giving iTrader. At the moment someone can sell something for 10 cents and claim the same iTrader that someone who sells a domain for $20000 gets!
Nah Samantha, just the name doesn't mean you're a scammer. It sets off flags in my mind, but I'd still accept payment. I would hold the domain though, not an instant transfer.
you do know that your domain provider will get your domain back if you send them the paypal transaction and chargeback proof of the sale. it's fraud and they can return your domain even if it has been sent to another domain registrar,
Hmm, Jason tried that with godaddy and they said they couldn't do anything. Let me get him to try again.
