Topic: Scammer alert! Rasing my concern here (Read 176 times)

After reading the conversation I would not say that the guy was trying to scam you. He is helpless here since he can not use the fund that is why he was trying to refund you but seems like he can not do that, so he asked you for charge back.

It's you who is not trying to understand the situation and pushing him to sell the product whatever it is.

My advice is: Just do the charge back and get your money back. Case dismissed.
I know it's a hassle but both you and him are the victim here. It's none of yours fault.

Agreed, never go first and always use escrow.

I will never trust some one that sell something in "caps lock" mode on:


BTW it's plenty of scammer with amazon SES and moreover with other amazon aws service.
you should always request an escrow for your trade and never accept to send first to a newbie.

This user is a scammer.

I paid 120$ via PayPal.
Which got his PayPal limited. Because his PayPal is new obliviously.

Then he goes on to tell me to do a dispute and then mark it as solved. Which will solve the problem of him not being limited?
If I did that, I would never be able to pen up a dispute again and not get a refund at all.

I'll be contacting PayPal and getting that refund.
Somehow it is my fault that his PayPal is limited. SMH...

I sent the money first, and I asked that I be given the Amazon SES account credentials. But nope, kept me waiting for 1 hour and then some beating around the bush and what not... This guy is a liar and a scammer. Please stay away from this user folks! He'll show you that he has a legit Amazon SES account. But nope. It's just there to scam you.

Glad that PayPal has that chargeback system in place very well.

P.S: Please do not bash me for doing a deal with a newbie, and via PayPal etc etc. Mistake was made, lesson learned.
Was it dumb move trusting a newbie? Yes, but not all newbies are actually out there to scam, gotta take some risks right? Some turn out to be scam, and other's turn out to be really good. I have 2-3 folks that are newbies here yet, they delivered their things perfectly. No problems whatsoever.

But you cannot 100% trust ANYONE on the internet, for sure! This user, in particular, has a PayPal named Yusuf, his real name Taofik. And his skype named James saying it's his "English name" I think this is a complete sign of a user, getting a new identity and preying on buyers with new PayPal.
That guy is going to come up with a BS again. Watch out.
