    THIS SELLER IS A TOTAL SCAMMER! BE WARNED! HE SCAMMED ME $200 dollar when I paid for a service he provided on this thread: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2278230. I paid him the money in advance and he just can't deliver and refuse to refund, when I told him that I will get a chargeback from paypal, he send fake delivery notice over pp thus, played some trick so that I will never get my money back! Be warned! I just don't want another buyer here to suffer like i did for the past few months.

    btw, he just give me a bad rating because i gave him one and his comment was a total lie, i think it tells you a lot about his character huh?

    The real crime is you paid that much for those back links! :cool: Though I don't get why he would suddenly go rogue when he has a fair few good iTrader feedback.

    Cheers for the heads up though.

    Yea, the fair good itrader misled me to trust this guy and even quite comfortable to pay him as advance since it's a review copy. Anyhow the reason I paid that much for those backlinks was because I already went out of choices here to buy links fyi.

    I started this thread because I want to warn people not to do what I did. Because he has been making a lot of duplicated thread with the same offer that ends in 48 hours offering a review copy, then if you pay first, he will never deliver what you bought and played some tricks on paypal to make sure you wouldn't get your money back.

    You shall not solely depend on the itrader numbers, you have to check the overall reputation on the forum and if the member is adhering by the rules, you have been here for a while and you should know them yourself. Expect him to get banned soon, first because of the number of duplicate threads and then of this dirty behavior. To get your money back, try disputing the transaction then calling PayPal and explaining the situation, you got only one chance to get your money back so do your best.

    I opened up a dispute and paypal told me that they can't do anything because it's not physical goods!

    Also I just hope that the moderator here can take a look into this matter and at least remove his "playback" fake itrader on my account.

    I was so shocked to see he didn't even get banned for so many repetitive threads for such a long time, but anyhow, even he get banned, he will just open up another account again and scam money until he gets ban again etc.

    its itrader exchange, i think mods can't remove any itrader given on a transaction.
    BTW you run away with my 50% payment after work done.

    Why should you keep lying about this? You paid full upfront and asked you report time and time again for the report and you did nothing and just ask me to get go dispute and told me you will never give me it done or get me refund and even told me to go chargeback because you send out fake shipping notice via pp. Anyhow, It's no point to argue with a scammer and liar. I just want member here to be warned about you and hopefully lesser victims around the forums.

    @Toon-c second that! It's not even because I was scammed so bad that I started this thread, what's done is done but scammer like this should be banned for life.

    So like I suspected, his true user name was abhijit and then maybe he got banned then he just registered another one "highprlink" to scam more people. Hopefully, dp can come up with a solution for this. I guess he is already using another ID on dp and trying to scam other users' hard earn money and there is no way to track him down.

    Yes, I have learnt from my mistake when I have been worked for same abhijit and done backlinking for his clients and he didn't paid me for work I have done. But I couldn't do anything even he is in same country. I just learned how I should be aware of persons like this. And one more thing to add, some people here doing i-Trader exchange too, and even multiple accounts and giving i-Trader in between their own accounts, so it is better not to see the i-Trader alone ,I learned we should also check the person who gave the i-Trader and also the threads he/she created. which gives us some brief idea in judging the person. Hope mods are taking care of these guys, that's how DP is still a best place for webmasters.

    Wow! Thanks for the heads up bro! I sure learn a lot from honest people like yourself wiling to bring awareness to the members of this forum. Sorry for your loss as well.

    One more thing is people who scam others out of money get payed back in the end. A lot of people including scammers doing business only see that dollar bill in front of their face at the time. They don't see that they still have to eat next week, next month and the next year. It look's like your business client bit his own nose off and is developing a bad reputation that will hurt him financially in the long run.

    Next time, be more careful. You should only deal with people that has lots of positive iTrader.

    Thanks for pointing this out. And a lesson to be learnt by everyone. I think we need to be a lot more careful. Agree for 50% payment terms or perhaps get more details from the user such as a phone number or email address so you know who you are dealing with. But all said and done, it's a risk none the less, that we all take.
