Learned my lesson
I was too lazy to do basic checks. I contacted someone on DP on 12th June who was selling a 3 months old vBulletin license (eligible for transfer on 25th June). I agreed to pay $135 and sent $50 advance. On 24th, I PMed him only to be banned from DP because of PM spam. Then he contacted me on email and I sent the advance. Now he wanted me to wait for 14 days because he was afraid of fraud, I said fine. After some days I saw his signature and he was selling a vB license. I emailed him to ask what is happening, only to receive an auto reply that we are on vacation and will be back soon. I am still waiting for my vB license. He is now selling the license on WHT

I searched for his email address on Google and it was associated with frauds since 2006 and there were many results on Google. I emailed the screen shot he sent me to vB support and they replied that the license is not valid. It was only my fault that he scammed me. It was painful but everyone learns from mistakes

Always be extra careful when doing deals at DP. That place is a haven for scammers. It's out of control.

Thank you all for the kind words. His MB email address was elliot.leee@gmail.com
This address can be found right here on NamePros
His profile is http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=148775
He was banned the other day from DP (not because of me) and I lost the only hope to receive my license
His actual email address as listed at http://digitalpointme.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default is hotmasala@gmail.com

After all the horror stories about DP, I never deal anything that involves money. I only exchange links over there.

liquidcherry the vB member's area screen shot he emailed me has a fake license. My mistake I didn't contact vB support first before making payment.
His profile at WHT is http://www.webhostingtalk.com/member.php?u=203496 and he is now selling the license there. I don't know sale is completed or not but I will try to inform the mods.

Edit: This is for sale thread at WHT http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=706850 and I cannot PM mods because of limited number of posts
