Please describe the reason for this Dispute in detail.
Please approve this, user scammed me out of 1K and I saw another scam report where another user got scammed the same way with the same excuses so it has to be the same response. https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/resolved-user-ggads-scamming-9k-usd.1736163/



I paid the user for Google Search Ads + Cloaking of my service, total paid to him is $1K - all upfront. After he got the payment, he started working on it. He started sending progress updates through DMs till he got to the VPS part where he started bringing up issues on how Hostwinds doesn't support his system. He said he was gonna open a support ticket on their website and started sending me reply screenshots from there. I asked Wynodi to send me the VPS details and I pinged the IP, it's completely dead, it didn't return anything. He didn't buy a VPS or anything, it's just part of his scamming scheme, I found the exact scamming scheme on another dispute https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/resolved-user-ggads-scamming-9k-usd.1736163/


I asked him to send me the VPS invoice, he's saying he's not at my disposal or that he doesn't have to reply to me anymore & he will be back at 11 PM with a refund screenshot lmao. Asked him to refund, he saying he doesn't have an exchange on his phone. Told him to download one, says he doesn't have to do that.

I asked the user for my money back but now he's not home at all & he is not allowed to refund from his team wallet. He is exit scamming on a lot of users here by checking his replies.
