I've been Scammed on Digital Point

[kev]

Hi guys,

I bought BetEstate.com for $110 from "Worldix" on Digital Point. I haven't received the site or domain and he was enquiring about what would happen if he had a negative balance and provided fake details which i didnt see before i sent the money

http://forums.DigitalPoint/showthread.php?t=585995

He claims his name is Marco Lombeli from Italy but id imagine he's set up a fake account and moved my money to E-gold or Moneybookers which he uses a lot. Ive started a claim which i should easily win but i dont think ill get the $110 back if he has used fake details and moved the money to another account? would i get it back? im really angry at this guy....

Email Addresses he uses

More importantly - Shouldn't you be dealing with the mods at Digital Point first?

ye they have been contacted mate

cant believe i fell for this...so stupid :td:

 

[VirtualT]

so you sent $110 to someone that has been a member for not even a month and has a 2 TR rating for money exchange and selling virtual credit cards

Bet the paypal was unverified as well?

Caveat emptor, and bad luck mate

 

[kev]

ye im stupid and probably deserve to loose $110 for this careless mistake. so angry at myself :td:

Perhaps this would be more appropriate if located in the NamePros Warnings section.

Good luck!

Man how you can send 110$ to someone with 2 TR.People are very careful when make deals with users that have less than 50-60 TR.Don't trust to anyone which is in DP from 1 week and have 1-2 TR be more careful.Can you issue refund ?

i dont use DP that much and didnt realise that he was a member for only a week. i spoke to him on MSN and he seemed a genuine guy

never been scammed before :td: think i was caught off guard

The bad thing is that he claims to be italian.

I hope he`s really italian or I`m going to be double pissed off.

Let me know if I can help you in any way. I hate scammers.

cheers mate :tu:

it teaches me for using a forum other than NP haha

 

[trevomanut]

Scamers are one of the biggest problems in the Net.I have been scamed few times but with little sums - 8-10$ I learn a lot from this situations and every time when I make a deal with someone new I am extremely careful.So next time be more careful and don't repeat old mistakes

 

[kev]

im normally careful but this name, if you look at alexa, receives a tonne of gambling traffic. i was buying this name specifically to park and i got a little bit excited as i knew he was underselling it. Would have made an absolute killing on Fabulous so kinda gutted i didnt get it

DP is no.1 jungle of the internet full of scammers, I dont even know if they have mods on forum. I usually go there to chill out

Edit : That guy is still online and Viewing Forum Buy, Sell or Trade ..

I read both threads and really he seems to be a very bold and professional scammer. :td:

 

[lpstong]

I hope you get what you eventually get what you need $$. Did you report it to either Shannon/Smyrl or CrazyRob? Both are excellent mods over at DP.

I know some may think that the DP mods care more for the scammer and not the scammed. But you may be surprised. Just becareful, because sometimes they get touchy and annoyed and can end up banning you and not the scammer.

BTW kev he is online at DP right now

Can I suggest never to do deals via IM. Send all info pm's on the forum next time. I fine a lot more people can prove or have more support if deals are sent pm or stated in thread vs IM chats

In addition he is offering a possibly illegal service. A form of money laundering, egold to money gram http://forums.DigitalPoint/showthread.php?t=596528

I do believe samantha pia did her hw on dp and gave all the details for such transactions. If you give me time I can find the post for you,

italiandragon read the post link i put in the post prior to yours. Maybe you might understand what he is trying to do,

But yeah he will send you money to your moneybookers or moneygram for a percentage, He is the middle man. Lets say the guy that wants to pay you only has paypal and you only have moneybookers. Well than this guy has both. He will accept the paypal payment for you. Than transfer the money to his moneybookers account. Than pay you from there. And will take out a transaction fee for transfering funds to you,

Thank you, interesting.....it seems a legit business. Surely , if done properly, not from someone who asks questions about paypal negative feedback , fake details, just joined , has fake whois in the BETESTATE.com (Miami is in Florida, not Colorado, I`m sure the zip code is not 12121 and the phone is fake too......plus AU is the country code for Australia not Usa... :yell: )

Then he claim to offer his service by running a loss of $10 % ? I know it`s Christmas time but do you still believe in Santa?

I mean....there were all signs of what he was up to.

How did you just trust someone like that?
