I lost $5805usd through PayPal scam by Shane Bellone

[12no3]

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.

Seriously @Grilled you are usually semi lucid. But this line of reasoning is seriously beneath you. Or so I thought.

 

[LucidDomains]

How so? Did OP sell any of the domains he recovered?

OP lost thousands of dollars in bulk registration time. The fact that some of the domains were recovered with registration time left lessens the actual dollar amount lost?

Are you asking us a question or telling us a fact? Do you know all the details of whats happened?

I just ran a check, you haven't posted in this thread till today. Someone as vocal as you, must have been away at the time this was all happening. That's why you're coming at this strong, you probably just found out. I'm also going to hazard a guess that you haven't read all 26 pages on this thread so you don't know what's happened exactly.

I suggest you go back, read this thread and understand what your best bud has been doing. If you are honourable guy at your core, you may change your opinion, or if you are dishonourable like he is, you may continue your blind loyalty to him.

Either way, learn your facts before starting something...

Simply posing the question.

Shane's Comments

Here are Shane Bellone's words from his original thread

"If you’re paying full price for listing fees and upgrades you have been scammed."

Another line from Shane against Flippa

"Oh you thought Editor’s choice was for good domains? Nah. It has been a filter for friends of Flippa."

Thanks for the confirmation BTW.

You guys can ask him these questions and more if you're in CT and happen to find he's your Uber driver.

Funny, he must really be in a downwards spiral. I now know why he loved to talk smack online. If he did it in person you would be looking for the girl whoms voice he (probably) stole.

 

[namezest]

I already called him out in his dicker thread, what goes around comes around.
If he is in the US you can file criminal charges because it's over $1000 it would be a felony fraud case. You have up to a year from the time he scammed you to file, press charges.

Welll the thief now has been fallen down to hell or perhaps he got new ways to scamm his riders pocket LOL

Are you saying that Shane is scamming his riders? I don't believe that news video quoted suggested anything of that nature.

I like you Grilled but you need to stop supporting SB.

He basically scammed somebody, boasted about it, then showed off his shiny new car.... and then starting driving in it for uber.

That was his 'exit scam', he knew what he was doing.

 

[Casey L]

So he went from being a self-proclaimed marketing genius and domainer to making near minimum wage working for Uber? Only one reason someone would flee the former to the later would be to get out before getting caught for something nefarious

If a man has no money, he has his honor. If a man has no honor, he has nothing. Sad.

One time I won some money in a contest at an event. I went to the restroom and set the envelope of cash aside while I took a leak. I forgot and left the money there. Couple minutes later I realized and went back but it was gone. I knew most of the people there and couldnt believe someone took it.

A couple of months later a guy approaches me and hands me a roll of cash. He told me that at the time he was in terrible financial straits and when he found the enveope it was literally like a gift from God. He apologized profusely and asked me to forgive him. I did.

I hope SB will someday right his wrongs.

Yeah instead SB went on twitter and laughed at his victim.. Not a comparable situation I am afraid.

Every day he has an opportunity to try to mend broken fences. Its never too late to make it right and ask for forgiveness.

Lol youre a better man than me.

 

[xynames]

Well I didn't want to miss anything, or pass judgment without knowing all the facts, but seems quite clear that OP 12no3 was in the right here and that Shane Bellone went wrong.

I also found warnings against Shane Bellone dating back to 2015, which this blog was referenced in this NP thread too:

You are man of deep wisdom and large heart.
