I lost $5805usd through PayPal scam by Shane Bellone

12no3 · Jan 16, 2017

Many of my friend suggested me to post this on namepros so others will less likely to be scamed by shane.

So on 2016-09-26 and 2016-09-27 he bought 374 cvcv.in names and 471 cvcv.in names all together 845 .in names together. (these are random cvcv.in)
together he paid me on paypal 5805 usd.

I pushed the domain to him, then everything is fine. the deal was made through whatsapp chat.
deal closed.
then I saw him selling them on .in markect group, flipped some for higher price.

until 27the decenmber when i log in to my paypal to make another purchase, i see paypal refunded 5805 back to him, then i look up my email, i saw paypal disput which i completed missed.
buyer claim reason: NOT AS DESCRIBED! (this is after he sold and transfer out some of those)

I did not know paypal had this 3 months rules where buyer can claim the money back, and becuase i do not log on paypal so often and get xxx amount of emails every days, so i missed the window that i could have argued with paypal. but well lesson learned.

Some infomation of shane so other can avoid being scamed by him

good news is after I provided all the evidence to the registrar, the registrar moved the remaining (ones he did not sold or transfer out) to my account, so at least i got something back.

Becuareful when using paypal,and becuareful when you trade any domain that was processed by shane.

During the process of getting the unsold domains by shane, I had great help from .in whatsapp group, so special thx who provide information and also special thx to shiva , kemji, alexa and indy who tried to contact shane for me, but he went dark, not picking his cell phone, does not respond back on whatsapp nor linkedin.

I'm no psychologist, but Mr. Bellone's statements appear psychopathic, IMO.

He doesn't mind taking life? That's murder.
He'll snatch the breath from within you? That's strangulation and suffocation.
Trigger fingers and bang bang? That's shooting with a gun.

Disturbing.

100% agreed. It is not the first time that he threatens people publicly.

My thinking is Mr. Bellone got a little intoxicated and made those threats on Twitter. Either way, he should own up, try to make it right and move on. The longer this draws out, the harder it is to make it right. If he did make up and its in one of the 23 other pages I didn't bother to read, my bad.

Call the cops, take the threats seriously.

Are you kidding me? Mr. Bellone made those statements under "Tweets & replies" on January 26th and nothing has changed since that day. Today is February 3rd. If he had any remorse or didn't mean what he wrote, then he would have recanted or deleted them the next day while sober. It's been over a week.

It's unwise to attempt to excuse his actions with nonsensical conjecture.

(You liked my post, so this is me trying to be nice. I'm a work in progress.)

Gangstas don't show up to a convention, act kind to your face, and then attack you online and tweet out death threats.

That's what psychopaths do.

I think Strangulation and suffocation also counts as murder...

Yike, I'm in late but sorry to hear about that OP

ManaveA. · Feb 14, 2017

Shane must be holding thousands of domains.. he might have already created new identity and must be busy in building new Brand for his identity to sell whatever names he possesses.

is there any way to know what names he possesses?

Yes, using DomainIQ, DomainTools, or Whoisology.

Wow I missed this whole thing.

All it takes sometimes is one eventful moment to flip a switch in people, sad.

MapleDots · Mar 25, 2017

Crap, and I do so much business on a verbal handshake. I can't say I understand any of this!!

To wreck all your connections and reputation is inconceivable to me.

I teach my 10 year old son that your word is your bond. Without it we are no different from the animals that prey on each other.

This whole topic saddens me.

The OP is 1 of only 2 people that know how it unfolded. You cant support someone without knowing the facts, thats just ridiculous. The people supporting him or Shane don't know what happened? how does that work? I could never comment seriously without knowing both sides, you'd be guessing. This can be dangerous on a public forum and seriously damage a person's reputation. I certainly wouldn't expect anyone on here to support me without knowing the facts.

A person can be convicted through circumstantial evidence. I think the paypal screenshots and the PDF file presented favors the OP in this case. The defendent is a no-show. I don't know about you, but if some people were accusing me of scamming them, I would be doing all I can to clear my name. Not defending yourself only makes you look even more guilty. And this is the same guy breaking down someone else's reputation (Adam) and criticizing them for not being responsive??

Don't let biases get in the way of seeing the truth.

Isn't it ironic when scam artists have self incriminating last names?

Yeah, it should have rang the Bell One )

I'm guessing this is the paper he is working on for his M.S.
https://bellone.com/

"The Transactional Model of Behavioral Influence (TBI) is an ongoing concept being developed by Shane Bellone. The model borrows from the Reasoned Action Approach model and incorporates components from Frame Theory. Bellone seeks to develop a process that will be utilized to persuade target audiences into performing specific behaviors."

hmmm..... It's an interesting read.

Peace,

Great, he's writing a paper on how to manipulate people! I guess he's pretty good at it but the model seems pretty weak - Cambridge Analytica have produced a working model that works at scale already
