Thanks RJ for putting a big warning at the top of the forum.

This goes to show us all how much you and NamePros cares about your members and the integrity of trasactions that take place both on your site and others sites that your members do business on.

I really appreciate all the help and public notices you are making!

Thank You NamePros!

I think there may be a way to prevent being scammed. Please tell me if this works.

After the payment is made through Paypal, ask the buyer to send back the Paypal receipt. After the receipt is received by you and you confirm it with your own copy, that will indicate the person is the rightful owner of the account. Then you can transfer the domain over.

Since a scammer will most likely not have access to the email account which belongs to the owner of the Paypal account being stoled, the scammer will not be able to receive the receipt sent by Paypal.

Would this work?

That's exactly how I got scammed.

I sent an email to the email address listed on the paypal account that was used to steal my names. I replied to the PayPal payment email and they replied right back. I thought I was good to go and yet 3 hours later... chargeback!

The method that I mentioned cannot prevent charge back. It is only good for the stoled Paypal account case. To avoid charge back, use Escrow.

I talked to the Paypal rep, he told me that Paypal can work with the credit card company and try to help their customers recover the money. You can give that a try.

(Before reading all these recent posts about the scam, I would fall into it too.)

It is Simplified Chinese. The info does not mean much. It just lists out the domains that got dropped on 7/20/2007.
