alert I got scammed while helping

[AbdulBasit.com]

Hello everyone,

It's the first time in my domain career that I've been scammed with no recovery in sight and I wanted to make everyone aware of this person and the trick used to scam people.

So there was the guy (Usman Jamal) who I've previously done small deals with like he was sending me funds to a service which is not available in Pakistan (company name removed for sensitive reason) and I was helping him to receive funds into his local bank account in Pakistan.

After gaining my trust with some small deals of low-mid 3 figure amounts, this time he asked if I can be of help again to receive his funds and to send him via crypto. He was actually selling a few domains to some individual and he asked me to receive money on his behalf from a 3rd party who was an individual and not any well-known company. I agreed to receive his funds and to give him money via crypto. This was a little suspicious to me but since I had done business with him in the past so I went ahead and helped him out.

After receiving funds in my (company name removed for sensitive reason) account, I paid him in crypto (equivalent to a little less than $500). In the next couple of hours, the guy who sent me funds initiated the dispute of not delivering the domains along with entire email communication as proof to (company name removed for sensitive reason) which doesn't seem associated with the person Usman Jamal

After going back and forth with the scammer Usman Jamal, he promised to return my money which he didn't and even blocked me on WhatsApp through which I was communicating. I tried to contact the individual who did the chargeback, but I got no response and eventually I had to accept that dispute in that person's favor because I was trapped by this scammer.

Lesson learned is that I'll never trust anyone for sending funds via crypto and not to accept any money coming in from any individual.

Below are the scammer details just in case he contacts you:

The names/alias he is using are Usman Jamal and Ahmad Jamal.

His bank account details are:
Account holder: Usman Jamal

My suggestion for everyone is to avoid dealing with this scammer at any cost and not to make payments to anyone in crypto unless you trust that person completely. I did all this to help that guy but I got this in return. Anyhow, it doesn't mean I will change my nature of helping people but I'll be extra cautious in dealing. I also wanted to make everyone aware so no one else falls into such a trap.

Avoid buying any of his domains and you can easily know what domains are still owned by this person by doing a simple reverse WHOIS - https://www.whoxy.com/email/99692043 and https://www.whoxy.com/email/104784456

Thank you for reading and spreading this with everyone in your circle for everyone to know about this scammer and aware others.

Why didn't you guys just use Sedo/Dan/Afternic or escrow.com?

Mainly because I dealt with him in the past without using any escrow service so the trust was built but this time he cheated.

That's understandable. We all drop our guards at times. Sorry that happened to you. Hopefully you make a sale soon to cover that loss. Hang in there and thanks for sharing!

Thanks to you and everyone for the support and suggestions. I'll be more careful next time.

 

[kandyan]

Sorry to hear your loss! and thanks for alerting others. It takes courage to be kind, but.. be cautious next time.

People tend to exploit the good nature of others. You helped him so many times and yet he went ahead to backstab/scam you.

iirc I have sold him very low auction domains here I think

Thanks for the headsup

Whatsapp is likewise not a tool for business conversation. Email is much better.

Scammers can also use email very well.

This is one of the most used tactics in the scam book.

It's unfortunate that you had an unpleasant experience.

You should open a new thread and tell what happened in details.

It's easy but also dangerous to accuse someone without any proof or context.

It's totally wrong, i admit that i have contacted you and try to cheat but that day was the day of my life changing.
Why you not share my last message on here that i said to you "Brother i'm for now leaving wrong path of making money" if you have proof just share here.

Yes i admit i cheated few domainers but the total value was under $3000.

I was a good and honest domainer in past and sold many domains to other domainer and never did a single cheat.
But in August, 2023 i have lost my all money in crypto future trading and few in crypto scam giveaways.
After this i was in shocked and i was need to pay bank debt and few my investor payments.
After this i was 0 balance and i need to pay for my home expenses like foods home rents kids school fees.

Today still i'm struggling but i decided to leaved wrong path and finding well job as well new legit way of earning. and i hope i'll get one soon.
I promise when i have enough money i'll return to them, some of the fellow domainers: i remember Gaurav $450 Abdulbasit $320USDT, Krell $300.

Because last from one month i can't take sleep well due to this burden, because i'm not a professional scammer. Today i am saying everything with my heart.

AbdulBasit i just promised you i'll return you as well to others, mark my words and take this screen shot.

I have no 4 letter domain, i have only 20 domains left in my account and i can't sell to other domainers due to bad reputation. If anyone contact you and claim he/she has 4 letter then always use escrow service and never pay in crypto is a easiest way to scam.

And i request you Abdulbasit if possible please remove the the name of the person as well details of account because this can damage internally.

Problems are life parts and anyone can face this problem in his life but never choose wrong path, today i'm very disappointed.

Thank you and apologize to my nice domainer community.

He scammed another well-known domainer successfully and was trying to scam another big one by selling a great 4L.

Can you please share the domain here or in dm (if you have an issue sharing in public).

Same thing almost happened to me when I tried to sell a pair of bicycles on EBay. The scammer FedExed a check from a local law firm way in excess of the price. Then they wanted me to remit the excess via some online instant payment method. But bank checks can take 2 weeks or more to clear.

I wondered why would a law firm send a check for a pair of bicycles? I didn't cash the check and the scammer contacted me saying they were going to sue as I didn't send them my excess amount payment. But I never cashed their check in the first place.

I called the law firm and they said that people were always using their name for scams like that.

Thanks for sharing. That's something I've never heard of but good to be aware of any new scamming activity so that myself and others can be cautious if/when they come across like this issue.

That's sad, that's why I'm seeing fewer people willing to help others. You can only really trust people who are secure emotionally, and most importantly, financially. People that are struggling, unfortunately, rarely can be trusted, because it's hard to keep morals in the face of adversity.

It is sad what happened to you, BUT I have no understanding for a scammer. And you also give advice to people you scammed how not be scammed, actually in a very ironic way. You will never get your reputation back. What you did is simply wrong and the act of criminal. And if you ever pay back, please also add at least 10% for your unsecured loan.

BUT I have no understanding for a scammer.

Just as there are jackals in nature, some people also have a jackal spirit in their nature.

Sorry to hear that @AbdulBasit.com ! It is always a high possibility that good people get scammed.
I wish you all the best and karma will work in your favour!
