a.k.a.
"ManKat"
"sunny23"
"Mark.Taylor"

He does business via email and demands that you push first, or that you push half, and then he send you payment.

In the entire conversation I had with him, he was acting very suspicious.

Thanks for the heads up Idees. I will keep a lookout for this guy

Here there is another member that I would be careful dealing with:

he`s just been banned at DP and his username there was

zellomesh

Despite I made it VERY CLEAR that I don`t accept PayPal , that`s what he wrote me:

Quote:
I dont have a mb account only pp, would that be ok ? I'm a well trusted membere here since may 2007 but if u dont trust me I can wait for the funds to clear in your pp account too as well.

let me know,
zellomesh

I have my good reasons to refuse PayPal. :music:

-REECE- 07-10-2008 06:26 AM
For anyone who doesn't know:

Even if the funds clear your bank account, Paypal will still use any means necessary (including sending a collections agency after you) in order to be able to uphold their scammer-friendly Buyer Protection Policy in the event of a "chargeback" or "dispute". Paypal does little in the way to verify and I'm at a serious loss why some domainers still think Paypal is great (until they get scammed).

World would be so much better and easier if everyone used Moneybookers...

I just found another thing about zellomesh (which has just joined NP):

http://www.namepros.com/domains-for-...mium-llll.html

Quote:
Payment: PayPal, NP$ (0.02), MoneyBookers

Didn`t he told me just 2 days ago that he did not have a MB account?

Ok, he may just have opened it but...???

Another RED FLAG on that member:

WHOIS RZDU.com

Administrative Contact:
Singh, Sunny ossmanbay@yahoo.com
na
Islington Avenue
Rome, 34252
Italy
+92.234234232


WHOIS ZMBU.com

Administrative Contact:
Arvee, veethars turksisback@yahoo.com
9 Kliensent Street
Istabnul, New Mexico 34252
Turkey
+30.3425234512



And, on top of all this, he claimed to have ALREADY SOLD ZMBU.com, look:

http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showt...26#post8449326

Then check post #23 :

http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showp...3&postcount=23


Ok, now I can say it: he`s a scammer, and not even a clever one.

He`s currently trying to scam lots of people on NamePros.

You`re welcome but you know I did warn you for the last time guys as I don`t have anymore time for this and not even for me :(

I wish you could understand that the scammers will simply use other username and keep trying to do those scams.

Just quit using PayPal please and you`ll be safe, use MoneyBookers!

Best regards

His username when I checked few hours ago said joined in July 2008.

Indeed he joined again NP as "zellomesh"

Idees 07-10-2008 09:47 AM
Okay, so he created a dupe account.

Is he banned yet?

WARNING:

Xandomains (banned member) is Yang Xin from Shanghai and is involved in the fraud of a minimum $12,000 worth short domain names (including ZRU.com).

He's been banned at both DNF and Namepros, however he has managed to defraud at least 2 domainers by hacking into their eNom accounts (still not sure how he managed to do this).

If anyone has further information, please let me know. You can do it anonymously by email to reece(at)bqb.com if you'd like.

thanks for the heads up :)

ddchan 08-16-2008 11:40 AM
If you're buying llll.com on DP, please be aware of new members -whynot- and -master-of-?-.
The names could be from previous fraud dealings.

They are selling names at less than $20 a piece, but those names are the same names which are from banned NP members

Check these threads too.

I wanna ask something,

there is somebody now offering me a very good deal for my domains, also he is saying that we will use escrow.com

I think it is safe then?
or he can scam me also by escrow.com ?

You cannot be scammed using escrow. They are a third party company that will take the money from him, then take the domain to you..then send the domain to him - and the money to you. Escrow is 100% safe

Then if he offering an extremly high offer and the escrow started then no scamming could happen, right?

This is incorrect, Escrow.com only handles the transfer of the payment, they do not/cannot force the other party to deliver the domain name.
I personally would use Sedo for this type of transaction, they are a "true" escrow service whereby they have payment and domains in their control before doing the switch.

That means, if escrow had the money for 15 days after domain transfer so that he can't take it back, then releasing it to the buyer. no scamming could happen from both of them.
