    Hello there everyone..
    I came here trying to find users selling good domain names.. so I posted in the buy/sell section that im willing to pay good money for good brandable domain names. this guy (SLM-why) sends me his list with like 15 domains - each with a price tag. I'm interested in purchasing all of them but i don't know the guy, so he says that he is well known and blah blah blah.. So I tell him look, I will buy one today and if everything goes smooth then I will pay for the rest of the domain names in two days.. I was talking to this Indian guy for like an hour and nothing gets done, then he calls me (you are a douche) (you scammer) for not buying all domains at once and not trusting him. I'm just not getting good vibes from this guy, what do you guys think or know? handing over $880 to a random guy from india is not common for me.. I have bought about 14 domains already and I normally get on the phone with them and get to business right away, all smooth - and to the point. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

    Yes monier, i would have done just the same. C'mmon who would trust a guy for such a huge amount ($880) . You gave him a good deal to buy one for now and Rest later on. if he couldn't wait for that 2days, I would say his intentions are definitely not good :D

    I know exactly where you're coming from. I want to believe there are actual honest webmasters in India, but where exactly are they? Each time I was dealing with an Indian, I got scammed. I've been doing business on line for 5 years, dealt with dozens of webmasters and programmers - from Vietnam, China, Slovakia, Ukraine, Russia, Romania, Egypt, etc, paid thousands of dollars, and each time I tried to give business to an Indian I got scammed and mistreated. Based on my personal experience alone – dealing with an Indian equal to a 100% chance you’ll get scammed. Must be a wonderful country to live in...

    lol! Let me tell you something guys

    - This guy has 0 Itraders

    - This guy only Pay via Paypal

    - He claims he is from USA, but the IP address of his Yahoo messenger is from Turkey

    - This guy does not do payment with moneybookers or any escrow service. He told me he has paypal only.

    - This guy does not deal at Private messages.

    - I told him to let me know his paypal from which he will be paying from, he did not tell me that either.

    - This guy only deals at Instant messengers.

    - This guys does not have a single domain or website to show, but is interested in buying domains worth thousands at instant, lol! don't you feel like laughing

    - Then suddenly out of the box this guy claims he is from a company. Which he also did not tell me about.

    - He does not want to wait 48 hours to receive the domains. He said he came on messenger to get the domains instantly.

    - He claims he has purchased various domains at DP in past few days, but his Itraders just show the opposite.


    He is a Turkish spammer who wanted to get hold of my domains names worth about $1000 and then wanted to file the paypal dispute to get away with my money and domains.


    lol! its interesting to see how scammers make up things when they don't succeed in scamming someone.

    I am always willing to use escrow services for the purchase. here is my open offer - get all the domains at the price I mentioned using any escrow services on the net. I will bear the fees. Do you have the balls for it?

    Potential Domain Sellers - Beware

    We have a scammer in town. Avoid dealing with this person. He is a scammer. Use moneybookers or Escrow while dealing with him.

    If anyone wants to know more about this or want to discuss it further, you can always pm me.
