BIN - $550

I am putting up my directory , http://www.hotsportslinks.com up for sale

First of let me say that this directory has great potential. It has gone threw just one PR update and is already a PR 5, with all inner pages a PR 3.

The site is 100% html, so there is no php or databases.

The design is custom, the logo is custom. Clean design, all categories are 1 level deep.

Income has been pretty good, about 10 links a month at an average of $25 = $250 dollars a month

I have spent over $1000 promoting this directory, at many sports sites and premium paid directories

List includes

Moodle.org site sponsor - Alive Directory - Aviva Directory - Site-Sift - Smittyz Web - Able Seek - Octopedia - Epitrope Directory - Free Web Index - Linkopedia - Top 100 Bloggers site sponsor - Moz 7 - About 27 - A New Dir - 10,000 Text Links - A Look Web Directory - Baluchor Directory - Browse Any - Dir Archive Web Directory - Dir Moz - Dir Dir - Dir Space - Elegant Directory - King Bloom Directory - King Dir - Link Cabin - Permanent Listings - Qettle - Sedir - Skoobe - Webmaster Whole - Dust URL - 3 Dollar Auto - Index-It - Award Trophy - Glass Place Directory - Add Your Link - Mingle On Directory - Your Index Directory - The 100 Lists - Uncover The Net - Referring Sites - Links Juice

There are many, many, many more places, but this is all I can remember of the top of my head

As you can see here, http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com...&fr2=seo-rd-se I have over 7,500 backlinks

Site is 100% indexed and cached in google http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...rtslinks%2ecom

Some Site Info
Hosted at godaddy
PR - 5
Page Strength - 4.5
Alexa Rank - 300,000
Predicted PR - 6
Traffic - 250 unique visitors per day

This site is not just a directory, it also has a database of over 1,000 sports facts http://www.hotsportslinks.com/sports_facts.htm

If you are to buy this site, you must agree to leave all links on the site forever. There are no site wide links or advertising or whatever. Just links that people paid for.

BIN - $550

Curious to know if you'll get any money back from Paypal since this is intangible...

Well, this is not your normal fraud.

He sold this site to the current owner on Digital Point in April
http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=293434

I asked the current owner if the paypal name was the same and it was, so putting two and two together both the sellers account here and on digital point are the same person if they share the same paypal name.

So basically this guy has sold the same site twice on different forums.
I have opened a dispute with paypal and rang them and explained the situation, I also have filed a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Centre http://www.ic3.gov/ who are partnered with the FBI. Fraud is a very serious offence and this guy is going down.

valhalla: I had the same happen to me before for much more money. A claim was initiated and the fraudster won. Paypal most likely will NOT refund you your money.

I will let you know what happens, he has PM'ed me to say he has a gambling problem and will refund the money but I aint got a penny yet, so I have been gathering as much inforamation from the admins here on Web master Talk and on Digital Point forum.

Thanks to the staff here at Web master Talk for being so helpful and forthcoming with IP addresses and account information, all this is going to be passed onto the authoritys, once they have this info they can approach paypal for his home address details plus probably locate him via his IP address anyway, then it will be his turn in the barrel in jail for 20 years.

Dude, sports, if you gotta go and rip people off on the net, you need to take your *** to Gamblers Anonymous or some crap like that. Now you're risking long time in jail for $500, I hope you spent that $500 well and it was worth the jail time.

When you're sitting in jail will you be thinking:
"That was the best $500 I ever spent"
OR
"Man I wish I was outa here" and crying

People like you ruin the internet and just about everything else.

Well I got my money back after doing some digging I got his address from an old whois and called the cops, apparently he told me he had up to 10 paypal accounts which where locked or closed and he had scammed over 3000$ from people online and I was the first to catch him. Once he thought the cops where on the way over he was not long paying up.

You're lucky to get your money back. I been bitten myself a couple of times and now I insist on an email from the admin email account of the domain (to prove ownership)

Also I never finance the payment through the bank or paypal balance. I use my credit card to finance the paypal transaction and when I suspect something fishy, I just cancel the transaction with my credit card company. I never trust paypal to help me in such situations.

Good luck in the future.
