It wasn't because of him that I couldn't pay by escrow and undeveloped. Plus there was a contract. You think why should a scammer waste so many hours for tons of amendments, proofs, etc, if he finally agrees to escrow service....I told him from the beginning that I would only accept escrow services and he agreed to everything... so that's why I think he just took the opportunity later when he realized that other people would pay him too despite that fact that the domain was already sold.

@Eric Lyon please have look at this user profile. @Oliver Maggs
thanks
I wrote that domain has already been sold in one thread, I think even on Saturday.

But it seems he took all payments at the same time. Because there was a delay in my payment due to my own problems with his escrow request (couldn't pay by card because GBP transactions by cc not possible) and my unveloped.com payment (declined), and because I demanded many "proofs" and amendments to the signed contract.

What can you do when you have almost all proofs, contract, escrow with same name and email, dns change to undeveloped.com, social profile, proof that he had a business there in the past, proof that he holds the trademarks for the same word, etc.

At one point you can't do much more. Impossible to have 0% risk online especially when user offers you escrow but there are problems with the transactions which have nothing to do with him. Shouldn't have paid differently but I knew he was having other offers despite having a contract with me. I think he just decided to take the "opportunity" that different people pay for the same domain at one point. Maybe not planned from the beginning because why should he have created an escrow payment...
Using Escrow was smart, undeveloped also backs up its buyers, sedo escrow is another option. You can also use registers who have checkouts that will lock, or auto transfer the domain automatically when dealing with newbies, people see a bit of a deal, and it goes south fast. Domains are liquid assets, and we are going to see more con types use legitimate scams in this seeming small industry of mainly honest people. It sucks I know, but sometimes offer a few bucks extra if they refuse to use your option, and walk away if you need to, if they are legit they will come around, if they aren’t then it’s good for you. I mean this guys whole social life is being destroyed for thousands of dollars, to bad he doesn’t realize how hard it will be to recover from this.

wwwweb. I did exactly what you wrote. He offered me to save 250 but I said I prefer to pay 250 more and by escrow. And he agreed and increased the amount in the contract. But then problems with payment. You normally assume a scammer leaves the party when somebody is willing to pay even 250 more for full security...Normally you don't expect a scammer to write for 2 days, add all the time amendments to a contract, if user demands escrow.

As I wrote, I guess he took the opportunity to take many payments at once later. Not from the beginning. Anyway, escrow, undeveloped and registrars are informed and I have linked to this thread.

that domain, was posted for auction by another user's name and the thread was closed by mod because of duplicate accounts.
imo..

I knew all this and talked to him about it. That's why I demanded escrow and he agreed. As I wrote, I shouldn't have taken the risk when the escrow services didn't work. Even if people first want to be honest, they can later still turn into scammers if the opportunity changes. That's the lesson.

Document is double signed below. First he sent me for Bitcoin, then I demanded Escrow for $1,000 which he accepted. We negotiated the details for this Escrow transaction over 2 days!

Then problems with his escrow request, change to undeveloped where my card was declined. Then I decided to take the risk because the problems didn't occur due to him, and we changed the contract back to 750 by bitcoin. Then contract was deleted by him (I have it) and "didn't receive anything".

That's why I assume he took the "chance" to take different payments at once and disappear with them when he suddenly had this opportunity. Probably also financial problems because there must be a reason why his own casino is down.

I contacted him at [email protected].

Of course, he replied he hasn't signed anything and he also didn't make these escrow requests lol. Sure, and he threatened to sue me.

We all have to denounce him. Please people, even if you got back your money. I already reached out to the British police and will collect full evidence.

But he was stupid enough to confirm that he owns gambly.com and offers it on undeveloped.

He's not even a scammer but also stupid. Look below. This came from [email protected]

Of course, he doesn't have escrow but sent me a payment request from the escrow account that is registered to [email protected]. Jesus.

Also, he confirmed by email that he offers gambly.com on undeveloped where I tried to pay too.

When in doubt ALWAYS insist on using Escrow.com (y)
If a deal sounds to good to be true, it probably is.

ALWAYS better to just play it safe.

NEVER:
  • Pay using Crypto
  • Dealing outside of mainstream platforms (NamePros, Flippa, GoDaddy, Undeveloped, Etc.)
  • Send PayPal using "friends and family"
  • Trust People
  • Transfer a domain first without receiving payment (unless you use Escrow service that has already received the funds/domain in their account)
Remember guys, it may be 2019 but the internet is still the wild wild west. That smiling face in the profile picture could easily be someone from any country in the world trying to scam you :ninja:

Even worse is that criminals sometimes use "profits" if you want to call it that to deal in things like drugs, trafficking, and other illegal activities.

Very interesting, Oliver. That you wrote in the screenshot above that you don't have an account at namepros or escrow. I can easily post proofs here that you received the bitcoins to the address which is in the contract. Even if you deleted the contract later from your own cloud, I have saved it.

And yes, I already contacted the authorities and collect everything for this denounce. I want to give you the chance for 48 hours to solve this issue otherwise. You can contact me for this.

Please note that escrow already passed it to their security team, no matter if they were involved in the final transaction or not. For them, it's enough to see that a user [email protected] sends an escrow request in their system, but the same user sends an email from the same address, saying he has no escrow account.

Also, why did the domain name servers update to LybianSpider today, Oliver? The registrar shown in whois told me I have to contact LybianSpider now.

Please find below the transaction. Everybody can look it up publicly. Also, I have older versions of our contracts regarding Escrow (which he doesn't want to have!)

By the way, the same bitcoin address and details are also mentioned in our conversation on Namepros. Everything is both in the contract and in the Namepros conversation which I had with Oliver Maggs.

I think user intention was clear. Delete contract and proofs and say he hasn't received anything and doesn't know about contract etc.



Big thanks to Escrow support for taking this serious and not just saying that the transaction was cancelled. Great professionalism.


Here another screenshot showing that he received the payment, with 103 confirmations. My part of our contract is fulfilled. Now it's up to you what we do Oliver.

He is obvious an scammer and he will be excluded from the forum and in a while he will probably return with a new account

Yes, he has several companies obviously. Trademark for gambly is also showing his full address and everything. His old Bitcoin Casino that he was operating can be found on Youtube.

Seems he has deactivated his LinkedIn profile today though. Already saved all his social profile data too.
