**valhalla** · 07-10-2007, 01:26 PM

******* does not own the website to sell it

Initiated PayPal claim

**Codythebest** · 07-10-2007, 04:07 PM

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

**valhalla** · 07-10-2007, 04:44 PM

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.

**jfontestad** · 07-11-2007, 11:34 AM

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.

**raysmith** · 07-11-2007, 12:33 PM

Please keep us updated on this. I follow fraud and have been studying it for a few years.

**valhalla** · 07-11-2007, 03:07 PM

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.

**raysmith** · 07-11-2007, 04:54 PM

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.

**skeetskeet** · 07-11-2007, 09:29 PM

so you pay money to someone that you don't know without checking the whois etc...?

**omitraffic** · 07-13-2007, 01:43 AM

What an ***.... **** looked like a great deal too

**valhalla** · 07-17-2007, 09:25 AM

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.

**highanddry** · 07-17-2007, 01:35 PM

so can I purchase this at teh BIN or what? Haha

**trippyvibes** · 07-18-2007, 12:22 PM

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.
