Warning - Scammers!

Discussion in 'Link Development' started by fiberus, Apr 24, 2012.

    My name is Daniel Cincilei, link manager at LinkMilk.com. Being a link development company we permanently deal with link sales.

    A common story probably: One of the sales I handled turned out to be a fraud. The broker published the links, took the money and ran away. I found the owner of the websites, which confirmed that the guy I made the deal with was the one that negotiated the links to be published.

    I contacted the broker in India, he pretended not to know English and absolutely refused to cooperate. Warned him about the legal consequences.

    Made an investigation and found out this is one of his many affairs. From what I know he stole between 2K and 6K in the past 3 months.

    Here are 3 of the email addressed he uses for payments and communication:




    His Phone Number: +919816864643

    LinkMilk would like to do it's best in order to protect honest people from getting into the same issue, which is why (with the help of 3 other companies) we created this list - linkmilk.com/blacklist.html

    We have contacted the local authorities, but before any action is made, make sure you share the lists with all your partners.

    Please avoid brokers and try to deal with people having good number of iTraders/feedbacks. If we keep reporting and making/updating lists of scammers it can save many scams. A thread of this at DP would be good

    Not all brokers deal via DP.

    After this situation, we updated our company policy. Now we only work with verified people and sign advertising contracts for every deal.

    I've had bad experiences with some of these too.

    Not sure if this is the right place to post but if the moderators could move it to the right category, it would be great. We need more threads like that

    Nice info! Is there a thread to expose the scams people are certain of? I say certain, because I am sure some people think some systems are scams and they just don't understand it completely.

    Thanks for sharing the information. I know the feeling of being scammed--very disappointing that other people take advantage
    of what you own or worked hard for.

    Dear Daniel Cincilei,

    This is R.Rajeshkumar from Chennai, Tamilnadu, India.
    I saw a mail and this post from you today morning about spam related issue.

    But, what I don't understand is why you have included my facebook id?

    By the way - the name, email id, phone number are not associated with me .... just worried if some body as misused my facebook id or my name and committed some fraud.

    Kindly clarify, would be happy to help you out. Please revert asap.

    I think paypal won't help in payments made for services. I had tried this in past with domain purchasing scam but they said they only help for physical goods

    People actually started threatening me for the list, I'm impressed. There's nothing more satisfying in this industry than people who try to threaten you, and try to speak English at the same time.

    Sincerely speaking I was really concerned about the chance of misleading anyone with the details about rajesh1811.

    But since he has answered none of my questions I suppose he is the SCAMMER everyone should avoid.
    Really doubt he's been off for a week.

    Regards, and keep safe from rajesh1811


    PS: besides, how can anyone register a domain on an email without the owner knowing about it.

    TechMaster,

    I am sorry to say, neither you nor Daniel are understanding the situation.

    Point 1) Domain: wevisualbrackets.com is being reported.
    Domain is booked by someone named prince, mumbai, ;

    Point 2) The contact details mentioned by Daniel are: and contact no: +919816864643

    3) But Facebook link mentioned is mine, Rajeshkumar.

    What I want to know is - how and why was my facebook id included in this.

    More over:

    1) If I am part of this fraud, I won't be replying to your posts; I would have deleted my account and gone missing.

    2) You can check this account details - rajesh1811, in my accounts page .. you can check all my replies it will be with respect to website designing and not related to link development.


    Coming to your query:
    First: you said you received an email.
    Second: You said name, email idphone number are not associated with me.
    Then how did you receive email????? you are lying. you are the same guy who cheated.
    Good job fiberus!!!!!


    Please understand what happened fully before commenting ....

    Mr. Daniel had mailed me calling me "Fraud", "Spammer" etc; etc; in that mail sent to me .. there was a link to this forum as well, when I clicked the link, it was directed to this page where mobile number and mail id of a person was mentioned and it included my facebook id.

    What I am asking Mr. Daniel and the rest in Digital Point Forum is -

    1) Name of person in UK who had cheated Mr.Daniel - and contact no: +919816864643
    2) His Agent in India - Prince - from Mumbai and his contact no is 9967693509. (Mr.Daniel had spoken to him and warned him of legal actions then this guy had told that they had cheated).

    Now where do I come in picture?????????????

    3) Rajeshkumar - my facebook link.

    Why my facebook link ..... This is what i want to know!!!!




    This number
