What product category best describes the product/service involved in your Dispute? Advertising

What is the USD amount involved in your Dispute? $585

Please describe the reason for submitting a Dispute, in detail.
There was a banner in the signature section of the user’s posts that redirected to the Telegram account @SigmaAdss. I contacted them on Telegram to ask whether they could run Google Ads for my product, and they said they could. They asked me to send the advertising banners, so I sent them as a ZIP file. After that, they requested payment. I sent the payment via a USDT TRC20 address. As soon as the payment was confirmed, they deleted the messages and blocked me.

Please detail exactly how you have tried to resolve your issue before now.
I contacted him via a 3-way DM, and surprisingly, he claimed that he did not know me. After I reported him, he also removed the banner in his signature that was redirecting to the Telegram address.

What kind of outcome are you looking for from this Dispute?
I expect the user to refund my $585 payment. If he refuses to do so, then I expect his account to be closed to prevent scammers like this from misleading people on this forum by claiming they can handle any job and then scamming others.

Please upload any screenshots, videos, or other document files that point to the required evidence.


Please confirm you have sent a DM, here on BHW, to the accused? Yes

Please confirm you have added all supporting evidence to show that you have a case for a dispute. Yes

By pressing the Submit button on this form, you certify that you have completed every step.

You acknowledge that skipping any of the requirements or failing to attach evidence that supports your case could result in this Dispute not only being deleted, but your account being given a warning. Yes

Except the picture where my profile name is shown, the rest of the screenshots are fake
Someone is creating new accounts and raising disputes against me

Do you have proof of any of this?

 

[zazjeux]

If I had expected you to scam me, I would have recorded a video as well. I took the screenshot of the profile after you deleted the messages.

Good thing I at least took screenshots and sent them to my colleague to show him before you deleted the messages. You’ve chosen a very convenient communication platform to easily delete messages and leave no evidence. You claim that you sell all kinds of advertising accounts and can run ads on every platform, take the payment, and then delete the messages.

Put a contact link in your signature where you can’t delete the messages and I’ll come back to buy from you again. Let’s see if you can actually deliver the service you take payment for. All you do is claim under everyone’s post that you can handle any job, lure people to your Telegram via your signature, and then scam them there.

If you suspect that someone is trying to lure you to a different platform for a transaction, why did you transact with them there?

He placed a banner in his signature as a contact method, and clicking the banner redirects to his Telegram address: https://t.me/SigmaAdss

I’m unable to send a DM. This is the only contact address the user has provided. Aren’t the links in his signature his responsibility?

In this circumstance you ask them to send you a DM to start a transaction. If they say no, don't deal with them.

You may be right. I may not have expected someone who has been registered since 2023 and has a VIP status to scam people. The VIP label may have misled me and caused me to trust him more than I should have. It’s also possible that he bought this account from someone else and is now using the profile’s credibility to scam people easily.

I am aware that even if his account is banned, he will most likely not refund the money he took. $585 is not a large amount for me, I spend thousands of dollars on advertising every day. As proof, I can send you a screen recording via private message showing my Binance account transactions, including the payment I sent to him.

All I want is for him to receive the appropriate penalty so he cannot do the same thing to others on this forum. Even if you continue to side with him, it won’t change anything for me, he cannot scam me again. But he will continue to harm other forum users and damage the trust people have in this forum.

 

[zazjeux]

After I posted this message here, he removed the banner from his signature just a short while ago. I hope you have noticed this as well.

 

[zazjeux]

Now he has also removed his profile picture. Next, he will probably change his username and then try to deceive you by saying, “That wasn’t me.”



@Social Tools Do you really think the administrators won’t be able to see the changes you’ve made to your account?

 

[SettingSun77]

I am not siding with anyone. I am neutral in these matters and so are the other staff members who deal with disputes. It's my job to get the facts and that sometimes requires me asking tough questions. If you're not satisfied with my refereeing of this dispute then you can request it be closed and/or contact Support.

https://support.blackhatworld.com/support

For full transparency, @Social Tools has requested the deletion of his account, hence why you are seeing these changes on his profile. His request will be reviewed as per usual in matters of deletion requests.

 

[zazjeux]

@Social Tools has requested the deletion of his account

So what does this mean? Will the account be permanently deleted or will the account be reinstated once everything is forgotten? I’m not clear on what the outcome of my complaint will be.

As I've said above, staff will review the request and further details will be released when decisions have been made. @Social Tools has to make that request formally through our Support team, which he has not done at the time of this post.

Thank you for the clarification.

To be clear, my concern is not about taking sides, but about understanding the outcome of this complaint and ensuring other users are protected.

Since the user has requested account deletion after being reported, I would like to know:

• Whether my complaint will still be fully reviewed regardless of the deletion request
• And whether any findings or actions will be recorded internally, even if the account is deleted

My main expectation is that this behavior is properly documented so the same person cannot repeat this with another account in the future.

Otherwise, it would be concerning if requesting deletion after a report could be used as a way to avoid accountability.

If a deletion is granted then this dispute will be automatically found in your favour. Additionally, this thread will stay live and would be open to comments from the community about the dispute and seller in general. If they are granted an account deletion they will not be allowed to re-join the forum and subsequent accounts, if discovered, will be banned.

If you look at the chat screenshots it says Sigma Ads (profile name) not my username @sigmadss

Telegram does not show the username next to the name anyway, it is only visible when you open the profile. I can’t have any personal issue with you. I found your Telegram contact through the signature on this forum.
