Please add me to the direct message you have with the member on namePros the deal was negotiated/finalized in so I can investigate further.

Thanks,

Done. Contract, his Escrow requests and other documents can be shown if you need anything.

okay so I assume the bitcoin wallet was a scam wallet as the funds moved almost instantly from it so assumed was a scam from buyer. as initially agreed for 1000 i will list gambly for 250 on undeveloped for buyer to purchase.

200 from paypal is pending with riz m and have asked him to make a case and will confirm a refund.

 

[Oliver Maggs]

again, there is no need for me to scam. i was pressing the buyer to use undeveloped several times and i use my paypal a lot. so again, no need. all my stuff is public for a reason.

Thanks for stepping up.

@Riz M. - Please add me to the direct message this is being resolved in so I can mediate and follow along.

Thanks,

No problem, I just woke up to all this and got really scared. The balance on my wallet is literally 0 and I was shocked. So I want to resolve this by selling for the initial 1000 by me taking the loss of 750 and listing for 250, but id appreciate once all people are resolved for this thread to be purged, removed completely and for me to be left alone from email spam

Do not do crypto tx on NP with users that don't have at least 10 trades with a 90%+ score. Avoid taking any risks when NP already offers it's own trust based scoring system.

When in doubt ALWAYS insist on using Escrow.com
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

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.

The most useful post ever.
He claimed that the domain is registered in various registrars like OnlineNIC and other.

 

[BrunoWillis]

Kite26, I did insist in Escrow. You need to read the complete thread to understand it. There are even cancelled escrow transactions now from him, but he sends me messages that he doesn't have accounts on NamePros and escrow. Well, then police and suing him. Did this before with one and will do it again if there's no solution in the 24 hours. I offered a fair solution to him.

If he is a Chinese as I suspect, he won't give a damn about Escrow or PayPal or whatever we say on this forum. That part of the world has become more and more opaque, completely in a different universe of their own.

 

[iAdam]

I had a feeling that it was too good to be true.

 

[Mr.company]

i have seen this domain on sale on ebay for some reason,hum,interesting.

This guy is real. You can find his old casino and his steam profile etc. And he has accounts with his email address on PayPal, escrow, undeveloped, etc.

And guess what...? His casino was a Bitcoin casino and someone wrote that he's a scammer.

Well I will denounce and later sue him with it since there's obviously no other solution. Already made the decision. If other people want to join then please contact me in PM.

I scrolled through all this and don't have a clear idea of what happened.

There were two buyers? Or one? Seller appeared in this thread and said all is well? Or did seller say that the crypto payment from buyer disappeared from his wallet? How could or would that happen?

 

[Dandelion]

Great name receiving negative publicity because of a moron.

Gambly.com could easily pull in some decent amount without blinking an eye. But look at what this guy is doing to it? I wonder if any gambling company will every stake their dollars on it again.

 

[creataweb]

His attempts at covering tracks aren’t helping his case.

 

[kite26]

I continue to not have totally clear view of the case. I hope to be clarified soon.

I'll post a very short sum-up:

I offered $150 via PM. Seller demanded $300. I agreed and posted it in the thread. I noticed that he also holds the trademark GAMBLY. I asked and he offered to either sell both together as package for $750 by bitcoin or $1,000 by Escrow. I demanded a contract then and collected some proofs. We added more things which I demanded to the contract over a period of 2 days.

Then I decided to pay $1,000 instead for security reasons and asked him to change everything to Escrow. He accepted and created an Escrow transaction. I couldn't pay this one because it was the equivalent in GBP and no credit card was therefore accepted by Escrow. He then offered to pay him €945 by Undeveloped. I checked his profile there and tried to pay. My card payment was declined.

Then I finally made the decision to pay $750 by Bitcoin. Firstly, because we spent 2 days for the contract. Secondly, because he had an escrow and undeveloped account, I could clearly track down his domain, email and other profiles, company, business activity of the past, trademark, etc. Plus he tried to get my Escrow and Undeveloped payments. So no reason to still be suspicious with all this. Well, boy was a I wrong. Obviously, some people scam out of emotion, just when they see the opportunity.

He said he didn't receive the payment, quickly deleted our signed contract from the cloud (which I saved before but he didn't know) and transferred the BTC amount away to another BTC address 40 minutes later.

In the morning, he replied from the same email address that was used for Escrow that he wouldn't have any Escrow or NamePros account and threatened me. Since that he keeps writing untrue things despite the fact that I can prove every single detail. The newest story is that the BTC reached his account but he was somehow scammed and they aren't there anymore. Also, he deactivated his LinkedIn, and he added more privacy to his Facebook account. Now you can't see his friends anymore, for instance. But I saved everything before he deleted things.

I've offered him to solve it. Else denounce and more to come. So the conclusion of the story is that people can still scam you even when they first didn't have the intention (escrow, etc) and if you have full evidence. Some people simply don't care about anything.

The BTC address and many other legal things are part of the signed contract. You can find the transaction here and see how he quickly transferred it away like a little scammer.

@Oliver Maggs, if you want to solve this in a better way for both of us, for you too, then you know how to contact me.

IMPORTANT: If everyone who made a payment to this user can please contact me, no matter if they get a refund or not, I would be thankful. Then we can take actions together.

 

[BrunoWillis]

I'd like to create an internal group "Victims of Oliver M." to pool our efforts. If you are victim of Oliver too, then please reach out to discuss the next steps. Police investigates much more likely, if there are several victims. But this can only happen if we act.

Please collect all evidence and don't be lazy. Even if it was just 200 or 300. We have to stop such people and we will.

You can find the National Fraud and Cyber Crime Reporting Centre here:
https://reporting.actionfraud.police.uk/login

Here you can see that it's very easy once you have collected all evidence. Please also report fraud attempts, not only actual frauds, both to the payment processor and authorities.

Now on flippa

Imho, it might not be a scam.

Too much shizstorm... for What? He s asking for only 259 usd to 1000 usd...

The amounts involved don't really make it worth the effort and bad press.

But then again, the domain itself couldn't command more value from resellers.

I guess if he wanted to do this, he should've bought something more juicy, like Gamble.com or Humper.com or somethinf... then ppl would be more apt to send x,xxx to xx,xxx in PayPal and crypto.
