warning Arunas Zygis stole $900 USD from me

[decades80]

Hi,

I've bought a 4L domain under the privacy protect, now I think it was not his and he insisted to pay as a gift 900 USD by PayPal. So I did yesterday,, because I don't like for sellers to pay 5% mostly and offer them gift payment.. Now as of today his account
@ZArunas is auto closed.
What can I do? I just made a dispute on PayPal for unauthorized transaction.
Thank you all in advance,

Robert

I think friends and family should be oopenly frowned upon. As a seller you pay the fee and realize it's the cost of doing business. Or you ask for fees to be included. It's not like the auction sites are going to waive their fees for people so they can make more money. There is always a cost to do business. Paying a few % for a safe transaction should not be frowned upon

I wanted to give him a favour I actually pay 900+ Gift fees. For me paying 900 as gift was even more expensive than paying just 900 for goods. Altrusim maybe? Or because the next part of money should be sent out on Friday?

 

[Hootsifer]

Paypal for $1-200 imo, Escrow or similiar for $201-1,000,000

Who done it?

Not to make light of serious situation but my curiosity took over and I have to laugh at about the fifth line down in the middle is a picture of a snake!

It appears you have cheated Paypal of a commission - and now you want Paypal to intervene?

 

[Justin Matmor]

Not speaking of Op's intent, he actually did pay via paypal for goods and not F&F so he did not actually cheat PP out of a commission...

Sounds as though they did breach terms of use.

 

[Justin Matmor]

The method user to transfer the money was not meant to be used for commercial transactions.

 

[Robert G]

maybe tell paypal, someone in your house used your account without your permission

 

[anantj]

I'm actually surprised Paypal returned the gift payment. Never heard about that. Congratulations!

Wasn't a gift payment

he insisted to pay as a gift 900 USD by PayPal

 

[Mister Funsky]

great news that you got your money back!

 

[Evija]

But there is possible to check in the whois - to see who owns the domain...if the person sells - like me - I own just some domains but some of domains are owned of my partner who gave me accept to sell them...I think - if any doubts about buying from someone - there must be possible to prove the identity of the seller...

 

[uglydork]

Honestly, I usually only try to do deals in Paypal with VIP's because I know that isn't handed out to just anyone. I got ahead of myself and was distracted by my daughters BB game - it was all my fault working mobile and distracted. I only blame myself

 

[arend]

The guys adress is readily available on the net.

Here is another shill bidding auction at namerpros, they had one on the hook for sure.

https://www.namepros.com/threads/recruitments-com.1010582/

It's unfortunate to have a good domain tarnished like that, but that's the price of trying to scam others.

Please start a new thread to discuss other cases that we've found and stopped like that one. That case was not related to this one.

Thanks,

 

[decades80]

So its everything fine at the end, if we eliminate the stress from equation. @Eric Lyon can you post an update? Were more people involved? have you linked this fraud to any others in the past? Have you found a network of vicious NPs accounts?

Shane Bellone was a VIP too iirc...

Shane Bellone is still a VIP in many peoples eyes.

I meant the VIP badge on NP and not the generic meaning of the abbreviation VIP

Update:

I purchased the domain Buqe.com from Namesilo.com on June 24th, 2017. At that time, I was not aware that this domain was stolen. It was listed on Namesilo marketplace with a "Buy it Now" price!

Then, I submitted it to the NamePros Top Domains section. On July 10th, 2017, I got an alert from NamePros Admin saying that my listing in the Top Domains section is under investigation. I messaged @Eric Lyon and asked the reason for it. He then told me that Arunas stole the domain Buqe.com from @domainler!!!

https://www.namepros.com/threads/can-you-help-me-buqe-com.998258/#post-5968774

During this period (June 24th - July 10th), I did try to sell this domain to other NP members (Those who were seeking to buy CVCV domains in the "Domains Wanted" section) as I was not aware that it was stolen. However, on July 10th, once I realized that this domain was stolen from @domainler, I immediately got in touch with him through private message and transferred the domain back to him.

It was my fault. I should have done proper research before buying this domain. Had I known this domain was stolen, I would have never purchased it.

However, at the same time, I am disappointed with NameSilo as well. According to this thread and the below post, they had some idea that Buqe.com had a bad history/was stolen.

https://www.namepros.com/threads/arunas-zygis-stole-900-usd-from-me.1009388/page-3#post-6070001

Being the registrar, they could have easily put this domain on hold or prevented it from being listed on their marketplace. I know it was not intentional but a tiny slip from their end. However, that mistake caused me a lot of undue stress and monetary loss. Having said that, I am glad that the original owner @domainler got back his domain.

@namesilo: Would it be possible for me to get a refund? I have all the details (the invoice from NameSilo, purchase date, etc)

Thanks!

@namesilo: Any updates?

Lesson learned - Escrow for everything unless its people I deal with all the time.

Simpler one, don't send as friends or family to anyone you don't know. Let them pay the fee.
