I ordered on the 18th of May as per thread post, a GMB listing verification. Paid with Bitcoin, through strike.me. Telegram conversation followed with the details.

Nothing has been delivered, no gmb verification. I have not heard from him on Telegram since I requested the refund. Except some weird messages, like "why". Other people have now reported the same thing in the thread.

I also asked for a refund here on BHW in a conversation, plus in public.


Please detail exactly how you have tried to resolve your issue before now.


Requested refund in this conversation: https://www.blackhatworld.com/direct-messages/refund.31183810/#convMessage-36545566

With just $400, it’s hard to understand why some people would agree to let their accounts get suspended. I really don’t understand why some people would work like that

He most likely scammed a few more on the way, they just didn't complain (yet).
Those scammers could actually make very good honest money from this platform if they worked for it.

But the way they operate is basically scamming other people, which is terrible. Why doesn’t BHW create an escrow service so users can trade with greater peace of mind?

Why not just... use Escrow?

May be in marketplace we have this incoming. Not sure when it will come.

There are many users who have never used the service before, so they’re still concerned. I think it would be better if BHW introduced an escrow service. This would help reduce scammers and increase the credibility of the BHW forum.

Yes, I’m looking forward to that as well

The reputation damage of having a SL thread would likely cost them more than $400 in lost sales.

Given the whole network of account sellers, it's easier to just spend some money on a new sales-ready account and build a fresh identity rather than trying to repair the old one.

Why not just... use Escrow?

Please tell me which platforms can provide secured transactions. I really need them, and I have been scammed out of over $7000 in one night

They cheated me out of my money and even called me a scammer. I'm really angry. But the dispute needs to be initiated 24 hours later, and I don't know why I haven't activated the private message function after purchasing a $750 membership. I am unable to proactively contact the management.
