Multiple DMs for weeks, no response or nothing which leads any further

What kind of outcome are you looking for from this Dispute?
Just have the user banned and that BHW fixes that this niche is abused so much by scammers, because before him there were literally 5 others doing the same thing in short timeframe so might be a scam group

I first contacted the user from his BHF thread found here: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/adsheriff-adwords-invoice-accs-only-3-topup-fee-crypto-topup-spending-guarentee-bh-friendly.1732853/

he was advertising google ads accounts which sounded of course great, I agreed to pay for $2,000 in top ups for ads to be run for one of my sites

Initially all was well, of course, the user was conversing back and forth regularly

Here is the user then confirming I have sent the payment, and that he will soon be starting the ads.

User then said he'd get back to me on the 24th of August

Didnt happen on the 24th of August, then suddenly as I posted on his thread he might be scamming, he flipped out

Dude just flipped out on me after that

So with discussion open now lets get my important text back BECAUSE THE SCAM IS STILL GOING ON HERE

I have something important to say which is not directly related to this dispute but has to do with it in a larger scope.
This is a way bigger issue than BHW mods and admins seem to understand without being offending, just for clarification.

There have been 5+ or so similar threads, all scams, all about the same service, all about Google Ads, all with similar offer, usually a 2k package and a lower one and all turned to be scams by OLD AGED bhw accounts, which is my first question why this is a thing. Like all the way back to 2011 or such?

Also look at this another one popped up
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/v...o-top-ups-cloaking-spending-guarentee.1750108

So this guy who made this thread vouched and said he SPENT ACTUAL money on all of the previous scammer threads. That is a clear pattern. But this is how they do it. They have multiple aged accounts and vouch for each other, seems a larger scam operation in place here.

examples
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/l...ified-ready-to-use-accs.1731865/post-19599407
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/a...-run-blackhat-campaigns.1731804/post-19557762

Currently if you try to buy some Google Ads service with threads created this year chance to be scammed is 90% or higher.
I cannot prove that the vikings ad thread is another one but again chance is easy 90% on this. Do we really have to wait until many more members get scammed or can we do BETTER testing before approving these?


So my take is whoever took this Adsheriff acc is doing this with multiple accounts here or working together with others and they seem to get BHW accs from somewhere to then rename them into some stupid ad stuff and scam users.

Any thoughts from BHW? When I used official support I only got generic responses but this is a HUGE problem right now on marketplace

If you can share proof they are the same people we can act.
 
They are not necessary same people but they do the same scam.

1. Guy "VikingAds" vouched for all previous google ads scam threads, including statements he bought from them like 2-4k or whatever topups. How can he have bought from the other scammers or vouched for them if they never had a real service which is proven by them being banned and never have sold anything? Proof for these posts I already said:
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/l...ified-ready-to-use-accs.1731865/post-19599407
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/a...-run-blackhat-campaigns.1731804/post-19557762

2. Usage of old accounts back to 2009 or similar which never posted until suddenly this year
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/v...ing-spending-guarentee.1750108/#post-19786794

You should be able to check IPs and countries to see if certain accounts which have been inactive for such a long time and suddenly come back just to help promoting this have some suspicious changes right?

3. all banned Google Ads threads of recent scammers have similar texts, titles and images being used, similar package pricings etc. In fact show me any legit Google Ads service which have been created in the last 4 months or so, they all were scams


Look you do not need to be Sherlock to understand that the new thread we currently have by VikingAds will end up in the same way. I am willing to privately bet $1000 BTC on that seriously.
While this is not a 100% proof because I cannot check into IPs and stuff, I think the chance is so high that you at least should have a mod try his biggest package before letting him continue to sell.

Also what they usually do is they DO provide accounts, but threshold accounts (which cost like $30 with a cheap vcc and plenty of methods here on BHW to to make them, they are basically useless though) which keep no promise of e.g. high balance, cloaking, balance refills, and similar features the higher package advertises. The last guy provided such a account for free to lure me to pay the full 2k, because it was an actual account so customers would think it is legit. Once they try to run anything nothing works

I completely agree with this issue. There are far too many scammers these days.
The management team needs to conduct more thorough verification tests to ensure that service providers actually have the ability to deliver what they promise.


In the past, scammers mostly approached through DMs, but now the marketplace itself is full of them.
This is a very serious problem.
 
The problem becomes huge once old accounts somehow re-appear and have other old accounts suddenly vouching for them. That is tricking so many users, there seems to be some place where people just buy or get such accounts

Here is the conversation I had with him.

@BassTrackerBoats so anything to say about a very clear evidence that the current next thread is doing the same thing? Is 90% not enough here to avoid more members getting hurt?

There's no reason to adopt a passive aggressive tone against staff who made a reasonable request for further evidence. We need to be completely sure in our actions. We are aware of the issue at hand.
 
And how is a guy vouching for all other scammers and clearly saying he bought services from them and then suddenly doing the same thread not evidence?
This is really crazy... @SettingSun77

TELL me in which way this works as a legitimate marketplace sales thread.

1.) Posts in LunarMedia,Adwizard and whichever thread had the same pattern not only vouch but also statements like "made a top up for another 4k" WHICH HAS to be wrong by default. since the scammers which were banned before never processed any topups OBVIOUSLY since it was scam...
2.) Suddenly renames his profile to "Viking Ads"
3.) Starts same thread
4.) gets again vouches and topups by "old members" suddenly active again all the way back from 2009


Seriously. If this was any real investigation that is more than enough evidence to instantly lock it and have someone test that service before allowing such things to continue

Yea I am done with the discussion, thank you everyone for participating in it. At the end of the day it will just continue as it is, will not say anything more about it.
I am also not intending on attacking anyone personally

If you can't understand why staff can't reveal all the ways in which cases like this are being investigated then I'm not sure I can help you. You have been given answers as to what is happening and as much information as we can give in public. We understand your concerns and frustrations but haranguing staff members is not going to get things done any faster. Calm down and let us do our jobs.

Okay, I wanted to like your post up to this point. I get that they scam, as in over-charge (huge problem but not the same as not delivering anything) but do the newbie buyers here even know how to use the accounts? I sell gads accounts elsewhere (cheaply, though), these are accounts that are left after my wh freelance clients. I have a regular client that buys them... so no, not one-time sales, I have a permanent, returning client. Did you guys even had a campaign running before or it's all first timers trying to run their first campaign?

I don't want to troll you, just trying to figure out what I'm looking at. Because if MCC access is not enough to convince you to buy then idk guys. You want to run the whole campaign for free before paying? It's crazy.
