I've been scammed for over a grand!

kumansk · #1 (**permalink**) 11-10-2009, 09:22 AM

I was just wondering what would you do if you were in my situation.

Anyway, I had like $1300 in my paypal in July. I needed them out of there, moneybookers or cash, it wasn't a real account with valid information I mean. So I decided to go for money exchange and some dudes recommended me this guy Shafiq or something. He had an account on dp:

http://forums.digitalpoint.com/itrader.php?u=142049 I mean the dude has over 100 itraders so I was like, fuck it and went for it. I dunno why I was that stupid though to send him a mass payment... He told me that the money would be in my moneybookers in like 3 days so I was like ok... Then I went on a vacation and 10-15 days later I logged into my laptop and checked my moneybookers and saw $0 inside. I quickly got him on yahoo and he told me his account was frozen and that he was going to the US and will send me my money via western union. He said he was going there in september... September came and i got him talking again he told me he delayed that until some EID kindathing they got going... And that it lasted till october... ITs fucking november now. As soon as I logged on msn that fucker went offline. He's still active on twitter: http://twitter.com/shafiqkamal though...

What would you guys do? That guy is a reputable fuck on dp so I could easily ruin his reputation but will that get me my money back? I aint gonna bitch about it after all its just a bit over a grand but its my money, u know what im saying?! I could provide screenshots and all the transaction details and stuff...

WHAT SHOULD I DO???!

Make a post on that forum Logging your complete efforts to get your money back.

Don't be negative

Talk about the problems we face in international commerce.

But keep logging EVERYTHING like

12:23 Sunday - Tried to contact him on Yahoo but couldnt get a hold of him. Gosh its frustrating these days when communication is so dispersed.

Then have the thread get increasingly negative till he pays you

I'm not sure he'll return my money by me just posting on dp but it'll surely make people think twice before dealing with him again. Its an interesting idea though.

There's always the 'where does he live'? If your ticket to his doorstep is <$1300 I wouldn't give a shit and go punch him up and ruin his yard for $1300+....But that's just me in a nutshell. I'm very short-tempered.

Reelnetwork · #5 (**permalink**) 11-10-2009, 09:43 AM

Maybe This DP guy had sold his account for money, And the buyer of the account scammed you, and will scam more people in future, I guess.

**oxonbeef** · #6 (**permalink**) 11-10-2009, 09:43 AM

I would create a new nic and ID and approach him with some sought of
deal that would create his interest. Not being to forthcoming I would
draw him in like a fish until I have enough on him to hook him good and
proper. It would take a bit of forethought on your behalf but a greedy
man is always easy to catch. Just make the bait tasty enough. In
fact I wouldn't approach him myself I would have someone he trusts
point me to him. Let him think that he is in control while you proceed
with your agenda. He will drop his pants sooner or later.

tony-raymondo · #7 (**permalink**) 11-10-2009, 09:52 AM

make sure you put his name in your signature and in the title of the forum topic.

and post in every thread he posts in

kumansk · #8 (**permalink**) 11-10-2009, 09:59 AM

I'm starting to like some of the ideas here...

But he's not a member on bhw as far as I know. I already posted his twitter and dp. I just twitted the dude, looks like he's active in there. Name's Shafiq Kamal though. Probably some people know him already.

Sliv3r · #9 (**permalink**) 11-10-2009, 10:13 AM

how can u even trust a guy from DP ?
aahh well can't say anything abt that coz a guy from BHW scammed me and i couldn't do anything..(i hate these scamming bastards). ok
so do u have his phone number ??? or something ? (address any personal info anything ??)

tyler_durden · #10 (**permalink**) 11-10-2009, 10:23 AM

Feel for you dude. Scum like this make it harder for the rest of us to get ahead.

Looks like he's been banned from DP but you could tell him that he has a week to reply or else you will start fucking up his twitter business by gathering all of his followers and whenever he tweets you will follow that with a tweet of your own saying what a scam artist he is and to avoid all of his posts. Either that or sign up for multiple accounts and start reporting his every post from every account as spam (do a search for hummingbird). It looks like twitter might be a good source of business for him so the loss of earnings might be enough to persuade him.

You can also tell him that you will be purchasing domains such as www.ShafiqKamalscammer.com and will be optimising the shit of it so that whenever someone searches for him, your domains will surround his.

Finally tell him that if he doesn't return your money, you will make sure it is damn hard for him to make anymore money online. You will follow his every step and block every move including falsely reporting him to the ams of any cpa he is promoting as well as destroying his reputation on every social networking site, blog and forum. Basically - you are going to dedicate your time to fucking him up.

If all else fails after 2 weeks, I'm afraid you'll just have to move on and chalk it down to experience. The time you spend after that trying to get the money back is going to be time and energy wasted when you could earning the money back

Man listen, This guy is from Bangladesh. $1300 is a great amount for him. So he will leave the DP id instead of returning back money. I can give you an idea that will make a real fuck for this poor shit

Paypal does not supports Bangladesh. That means he is using a paypal illegally. So trace where from he has verified his account. And boom his account. It is very tough to manage paypal accounts. He will be ruined too....

The .net version of his name is available and that is a good inexpensive route to go as payback. It is what I had to do, see here http:www.deweysmithjr.com/ to a jackass that scammed me.

That's very nice. You might want to hyperlink his pic to either goatse or meatspin. You know, just to up the ante a bit....

sideriden · #20 (**permalink**) 11-10-2009, 04:17 PM

I had not seen meatspin before and now my eyes are bleeding and I just lost my breakfast. Nice idea all the same.

Yeh! itraders and rep are just like ebay feedback. Build up loads for little deals
and the Blam!. Best to check the actual deals they did before doing
business with someone.

first of all ecurrency exchange threads / posts / request aren't allowed by forum rules. NONE care about any garbage DP thread , if you are enough retarded to give your money to someone anyone from DP ... great

I can accept also some kind of this donation feel free and drop a line ... None with more than 2 cell brains alive on hes head will not exchange gaypal founds for anything else well maybe for monopoly money . Actually reputation on DP it's something similar with toilette paper ...

It's called dude diligence .... always needed when you are at risk ....

from personal experience I`m telling you and anyone DP it's just a bunch of crap retards who keep posting '' review copy please '' well can't count the guys from here who are selling ebooks rehashed lol.

**NoWhErE** · #23 (**permalink**) 11-10-2009, 04:33 PM

I feel you man, last month I got scammed by Tom-Oh from here. Was for about 200$. I got it all back though, but I know he probably made a few extra xxx$ off of me and a few other guys on this forum.

Sucks when people would rather steal your cash then work to get it.

Why do we need a smart-ass in every thread reminding us of the rules? I know very well that its not allowed to but I aint looking for no money exchange or discussing how should i exchange money, im just sharing a story of mine.

Some of the ideas are good in here. I sent the dude a pm on dp and a message on twitter, he aint online on msn. Thanks to everyone that replied.

@oxonbeef good you posted that mate. Is this his number though - 8801714731359?

If the guy doesn't replies in a few days, max week I'll do everything I can to ruin his stuff. I see him promoting some stuff over twitter...

**KSoze** · #25 (**permalink**) 11-10-2009, 06:19 PM

Might be wise for others here not to do currency exchanges with anonymous DP people named "Shafiq or something".

evilman11 · #26 (**permalink**) 11-10-2009, 06:33 PM

if this is his real address i hope he enjoys his new gay porn magazine subscription!

Sliv3r · #27 (**permalink**) 11-10-2009, 06:40 PM

dude hire a guy from BAngladesh..
give him 10-20 bux
and tell him to call safiq
and on the phone he should tell shafiq that he will come to shafiq's house..and will report to the police. as well
if he didn't return the money
he should tell him that he has good relationships with mafia as well..
so he should better return the money or else
that will surely scare his pants off

i mean if u use a guy from Dhaka..that would be great..
coz it will give a good impression..
shafiq will think that u have a good relationship with this Bangladeshi guy..and if that guy can call me than he can also report to the police..as well
that guy should tell shafiq that he has all the chat logs and stuff..that will prove that he did this to u..

just scare shfiq on the Phone that is the main point..
that is the only way u can get ur money back..coz he will never want to go in jail for this

muslickzz · #28 (**permalink**) 11-10-2009, 06:50 PM

Prison in the USA sucks...

But Prison in Fkin Bangladesh has got to be WAY WAY Worse..

Sounds like a plan...

I am sure a company in his country would be more than willing to do collections on him for 20%

av8sean · #30 (**permalink**) 11-10-2009, 07:13 PM

You can probably go on freelancer.com, and offer $20USD for someone to goto his house with a baseball bat. Break a new bone every week he doesn't pay.

This is the best solution. I got a bangladeshi writer from GAF, a worthless fellow in terms of writing, but now you know what he can be exploited for

Sliv3r · #32 (**permalink**) 11-11-2009, 04:34 AM

dude u should atleast try to get ur money back..
u can't just sit there..
and do nothing..

u should call him..or u should hire someone to call him..

Reelnetwork · #33 (**permalink**) 11-11-2009, 04:49 AM

I can easily say now, BHW guys wants to help.

Did anybody of you got any pm from OP regarding scammer's address?

It will not work man. All you can do legally is go to Bangladesh embassy of your country and case a file about him. It will be much more better if you case the claim through police. I am from Bangladesh. I know my country will act fast at your claim. And yes, I think the address of the fucking poor scammer is true.

(had access to his email, made it seem like he was cheating on her) banned his adsense account. harrassed him by phone for a week straight until he got a number change. and ruined his rep on a popular forum at the time called screennameforum. ahh lifes good

Wow there are some bad MF's on this site. Someone said have somebody in his home country call and say they are with the Mafia. Might backfire if he is connected with the Mafia as many of these scammers are.

After 200 year of British rule the subcontinent divided into 2 countries on 1947. One is India and the another one was Pakistan(east and west Pakistan.). Bangladesh was named as west Pakistan and we got our independence on 1971. So we don't have anything with India since 1947 and we don't have anything with Pakistan since 1971.

I had to bump this thread. I can't chargeback I mentioned.

I just emailed him and posted a thread a few days ago on dp..

They banned me and closed the thread because I didn't manage to reply on time but I don't give a fuck since it's on the first page for his name...

looks like the dude put his little site up for sale...
