    Very simple,
    No response? Immediate chargeback.
    It’s more effective than crying here.

    Btw why he’s not banned yet? Are 29 pages not enough?

    He is not banned so that he can talk to people and refund their money. If he is banned, he has a reason for not returning the money as he cannot post here.

    Do all those people who defended him want to keep defending him?
    I knew it was a scam, so did other people, except i knew it was pointless arguing against people in denial
    Legally, if yahoo! found out that you were knowingly cheating their payment system they could take legal action. And you cant try and bullsh*t them by saying you thought it was legal, you paid $60 for a $299 submission, as if something suss wasn't happening.

    Actually the exploit is still there and still free so I don't buy the "legal action" argument. All they would need to do is close the loophole.

    The OP was just naive to charge for this free submission as there is no guarantee on acceptance nor that the listing is guaranteed to stay up.

    You are completely full of crap.

    If you read through his feedback you will see that a large number of DPers have used his service and were happy enough with it that they chose to leave him positive feedback. So glad you "knew" it was a scam, when dozens of DPers have voiced the complete opposite.

    The reason we submitted five sites to him two months ago (before he got any negative feedback) was because Shoemoney had said he used the service and it worked. Obviously there were some shades of gray involved here - any "master of the obvious" could figure that out. The sites we submitted were sites that were worth submitting for $60 each but not worth submitting for $299 each.

    The sites we have that were worth submitting for $299 have already been submitted for $299.

    I paid him for many sites. in which he got a couple listed and could not list the other sites.
    He refunded me part balance of 97$ in Moneybookers Instantly, and the otder day contacted me asking for a invoice via 2co for the other part balance of 150$.
    I can say if he was a fraud he would have never replied anyone regarding the refunds :)

    well thats not our problem :)
    He gave service, and we took the service ;)
    If he is a fraud we are also not any less in buying his service ;)
    If we are genuine we should have paid for the listing 299% and proved ourselves genuine :p
    I would call it mere business tactics, you give service and i take service.

    i too would not say him as a fraud, As amit said, We tried to go through a loophole (which makes us frauds too).,
    He tried so to submit our site, and he was not able to submit, When i contacted him for a refund, he immediately refunded the money, That means he is a person who can be trusted.

    @Scotia King
    YOU are completely full of crap

    I went back through this thread and yes there were people who were happy, but unlike arrogant you, I ALSO noted the amount of people who used his service and were NOT happy.

    Well if it's "so obvious" why are you saying I am wrong? Quote me, but I NEVER said it wasn't "value for money" or a great "bargain". He ripped some people off, others he did not. Does this mean, because SOME people got what they paid for, that his service is, in no way, a scam?

    Definition of Scam:
    http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=scam

    If you admit then, that his service can be considered a scam, then I advise you to just shutup and keep your subjective opinions to yourself. Otherwise if you still strongly believe his service is truthful and is in no way a scam or fraudulent, feel free to reply, I would love to hear what you have to say.

    @ysf1
    Okay so basically what you are saying, is that if I made a computer virus which deleted people's anti virus programs, but their anti virus program never did anything to stop it, what I have done is legal, because I have just used a loophole? All they would need to do to STOP it from happening is close the loophole, that doesn't change the fact you knowingly cheated their system to get something you never paid for.

    How about closing this thread if everyone has got their money back? This thread makes no sense as the service is not provided now.

    Umm..this isn't anythign like a computer virus. And that wasn't my point.

    He obviously submitted his own site using the alternative method and it was accepted. He then decided rather then share it, he would sell that knowledge.

    People sell expertise all the time and I actually have no problem with that. In this case, however, he was naive in not testing it with a bunch of sites as those who use the alternative submission method all the time know that it is not 100% reliable.

    Yahoo has many ways to submit your listings for free, and regularly approve them. Your analogy of a virus is completely off base.

    It was an example, using the same type of scenario but in a different context

    Never said he wasn't doing that

    Services are what a lot of business is generated from.

    Again, it was an example, using the same type of scenario but in a different context

    And, yet again, nothing changes the fact people knowingly cheated yahoo's system to get something they never paid for.

    There are two aspects here:
    1. the questionability of how the sites were submitted
    2. the fact that not everyone has received a refund

    Just because he found a loophole in the system does not make it a scam.

    But if he did not deliver on the service and promised a refund and did not give it, that might make it a scam to those people.

    The point I was trying to make (which you obviously did not understand) is that if you review his feedback he had 100% positive feedback prior to October 4. So even though you "knew" it was a scam I still think you are full of crap because ever single Digitalpoint forum member gave him a positive review up through October 4.

    That would make you the only person on Digitalpoint that "knew" it was a scam - which means you are either the smartest guy here or completely full of crap. My guess is you're completely full of crap.

    If this confuses you at all, feel free to confirm this by reviewing his feedback here:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/itrader.php?u=7773

    Have a nice day.
