    is a scammer that pretends to sell these two sites:
    btemplates4u.com
    premiumblogtemplates.com

    I think the original account got hacked.
    He's fairly good at it too, got me fooled even. I sent a payment via paypal after a long conversation via skype. And shortly after he started to make up some weird things. First kept claiming he transferred the domains, while he clearly didn't and doesn't even know how domain push in godaddy works. He also most likely doesn't own these sites. Then he started saying that the payment "disappeared" from his paypal somehow, etc.. so typical scammer behavior.

    This is his facebook https://www.facebook.com/sameera.chathuranga.12720
    and he goes by sameera1080 in Skype.

    1080 is a toxic poison - I don't know what it means to him but I'd think twice about someone who chooses that number after their name.

    That's clearly a scammer, thanks for warning us! He might be active on other forums too like webhostingtalk and blackhatworld and making fool out of others.

    quick update: I've called paypal and told them about this case and they said that they would investigate this guy's account to check for other possible fraudulent deals. And it looks like they found some as they now sent me a request for additional details, so I'm forwarding them that.

    Thanks for the public update, you were wise to catch on that you probably weren't the first person scammed, but by being in touch with Paypal, might be the last. :)
