Title: User creating new accounts just to leave fake negative feedback
Post by: MiLkz on March 24, 2020, 05:30:11 PM
I am being harassed more than usual by a previously caught scammer/fraudster.  I have no idea who he actually is, however, he has now created two
accounts just to leave nonsense feedback.

Is there anything that can be done?, I can only assume there will be more to come.

Best advice would be ignoring those baseless feedbacks as they would appear under untrusted feedbacks list to most.

No, there isn't.

Trust is not moderated, so there is no way to remove those ratings from your trust page unless the person who left them decides to remove them. However, as those two accounts are both neither on default trust and also trusted by nobody, then those ratings will appear as "untrusted" for everyone on the forum. You can click on the profile of pretty much any DT user and see an abundance of fake, frivolous, retaliatory, and otherwise nonsense ratings, as well as similarly nonsense flags. There is nothing you can do except ignore them, and realize that any serious trading partner will be able to see right through them and therefore also be ignoring them.

In short, don't worry about it.

These two already got ban hammer (assuming since I do not see any post from them). Problem here is that it is useless to do anything against these newbies since anything from them (including tag) is useless. It's just a waste of the space in the database.

In short, don't worry about it.
Let them come.

Nope, if this person only created these accounts just to give you a negative feedback there is really nothing left you can do with it. These accounts are inactive now and they are the only ones who can remove the feedback they have written to you, admins and mods don't even remove retaliatory feedbacks. Listen to what they have said and just ignore those untrusted negative feedbacks since they don't even show by default in your account the feedback they given don't even have a good reference on why they have given a negative feedback to you.

Apart from negative feedback, you might also attract some stalkers who'll go through almost all your posts and will try to report them as offtopic, plagiarism etc or even open a scam accusation against you. They'll try to get you tagged/banned as a retaliation. But as long as you haven't violated any of the forum rules or done anything scammy, just ignore them. You are just safe and the business will continue as usual. There'll be a lot of other things irl to worry about.

Don't worry about the harassment done by those useless newbie accounts owned by the scammers. Their feedback on your profile doesn't matter at all and they will eventually give up. Just keep doing the work of the exposing scammers buddy  ;)

Contact theymos if it becomes too much. If it is only a couple of feedbacks, nothing will happen.

One suggestion is to keep on guard for your real name and address.

I have been doxxed on badbuyer.org  my name phone number and address is revealed for false reasons as me being a Bad ebay buyer. They do not provide the item number for the sale or the account name of the bad buyer.  They just say it is me.

The website does not remove any entry only the poster of the entry can remove it.

So make sure your name address and phone number is secure.

My doxxing is a result of me giving escrow services. I caught multiple cons made reports etc.

I still get threading pm's on occasion.

It's so normal to find some sick, donkey creatures that share this planet with us willing to ruin your account just because of their stinky asses are itching.
Like for example someone willing to report your post or your account or ... instead of DMing to correct a mistake or something you made in the forum, but no he'll just go ahead & destroy your account just because he's a low life sick & cheap bastard.

Take care man, these donkey creatures are with us unfortunately while they deserve to be nuked so they don't multiply like germs.

Why are you worried about their feedback. They are newbie accounts and their feedback does not matter. If you have done anything wrong, the you will get the negative feedback from DT member, which will matter the most. Rest you just don't need to care about what these newbies account feedback. Ignoring them is the best option.
