I was scammed by the forum member 'noca$h'. The user 'Steven' was selling an Instagram account Deal started through PMs and ventured to Kik. Logs are below. Initial PM conversation - http://gyazo.com/ac7ec70e6da3e14b4487b5b2dd464674 http://gyazo.com/a21958ab5330e0d2ebb84c1ab1dcdc29 From this point we communicated via Kik - http://gyazo.com/e7766607be95429ceac2646d38e8dd51 http://gyazo.com/f5cd1bbbb0b83f48e68e2522ce0287b8 http://gyazo.com/d1d4597b5dbe8cbfc4ab8dd810006385 http://gyazo.com/968be9d997e42fa2611054dab7abdb03 http://gyazo.com/9874f639d7176443fb91f94f6feabe6c http://gyazo.com/f639aac6b3b26c4aebd8102891d3f494 http://gyazo.com/78857db2a25fbd3d95fd4bee74c84531 http://gyazo.com/85a6e1fbb38824589c6ae10c03c53286 http://gyazo.com/3ccc4529373d107b622012501d0de2de http://gyazo.com/e59dac563a4ed5a271d0c8c3ec0d822b http://gyazo.com/fffd83fd25f50f4dd8afcb2aa93bcb76 http://gyazo.com/576e4eaba277e2b22f9911ef9e5fe0a7 http://gyazo.com/47f01aae83f96f043a0c00a5b89fa212 http://gyazo.com/7342e1d7154d707a76c0ffb8d7624636 http://gyazo.com/fd88f3e0777616e39a729c4a7f880747 http://gyazo.com/1b51dcb2a0c0fd5c31b46fcc5e41df40 http://gyazo.com/56a5560165dee563404b23db0d287bc4 http://gyazo.com/43bc858181fdb9cebcda287831902543 http://gyazo.com/503fa58d6a1284dd374d3475f78bce3e http://gyazo.com/d410050756750a7b976afbe72627eab9 http://gyazo.com/965a40ae5bca650abbee573d5b079460 http://gyazo.com/3a3e954094540575c9fc2214eac73fec ... and that is pretty much the gist of it. It continues in circles.
noca$h has been notified he has 48 hours to respond. I looked through all the images above and didn't see any personal info - but if I missed something, let me know. OS PS. Reminder to all who have current issues, keep it PROFESSIONAL. No name calling or other insults. Reminder to everyone else: Shit list rule #4: If you are not directly related to the situation, or are not offering information directly related to the situation: do not post in the thread.
The only thing I see is the name of the account within the image. Do I need to edit that or leave it alone? Thanks for your support as well.
OP, are you sure nocash owns this Instagram account? In your first link he said he put $650 into building the Instagram: http://gyazo.com/ac7ec70e6da3e14b4487b5b2dd464674 Then in this link he said he spent $800 to build the account: http://gyazo.com/e59dac563a4ed5a271d0c8c3ec0d822b I don't know if this will help, but he mentioned in this thread that he was having difficulty building his Instagram, was overpaying for shoutouts, and needed help. Scroll down to post #219: http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...stagram-my-new-mobile-site-goal-50-day-5.html The account he is selling to you looks pretty healthy. It doesn't look like an account that needs help. He made that comment on November 18th, and the first photo posted to that Instagram was 2 days earlier, on November 16th, and it has 14k likes. Whoever owns this Instagram looks like they know what they are doing. When I read his comment in that thread, I sent him a PM stating I could help him out with some shoutouts. He wrote back demanding to know the username of the Instagram I would do the shoutouts from and told me to prove that I owned the Instagram. I thought that was odd. Normally, people ask what niche the Instagram is in to see if it is a match for them, before they even bother looking at the Instagram itself. I didn't respond after that and I didn't give him my username. I got the impression he wanted to see usernames so he could possibly pass them off as his own.
Holy crap. I may have just threw away $400 due to my own ignorance and not paying attention to detail. "a friend of mine is actually selling it" / the money spent on shoutouts could possibly be a misunderstanding or an update as to the current investment. However, on the last PM when I was attempting to verify that he is the rightful owner he sent the name and we continued to converse using his Kik. It could be a ploy to perform a whaling attack. I have this account > message me on the kik > deal conducted he splits profit > scammed?
Well, the guy was aptly named. noca$h = No Cash http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...ypal-debt-collection-2-400-a.html#post5880219 Another child allowed to do business on BHW. Raise the age limit, add age verification + sign up fee for all accounts. Too easy for these kids to scam, they are young and don't care/comprehend the consequences.
A handle means nothing. I guess this 17 year old kid might have thought it was cool. I definitely agree with you concerning age verification and sign up fee. Regardless I didn't scrape his threads and replies enough to begin with. When I mentioned using a middle man I should have stuck to my intention. Bite the bullet on this one. Lesson learned! ----------------- Perma-banned, does this go by IP address or something or only e-mail?
