Anyway, sorry for your loss. If you checked the trusted feedback on his account, probably you'll not got scammed.

While I do sympathize with your loss, you should have exerted the extra effort to double-check his feedback.

The user was negatively tagged last August 2020 since he was also selling fake adobe codes. In addition, while I do understand that some newbies do sell legitimate products or offer real projects, I still highly advise to transact with them especially if such newbie recently created his account.

It might be late but I will still tag the user in case he attempts to do it again though I highly doubt it. Again, please be careful next time!

Thank you for your concern, yes this is my fault. Any way I hope to prevent other people from getting scammed.
After all I learned with a cost, lucky it was just 25 bucks

Thank you for your concern and support

I supported the flag as well, this kind of personality shouldn't be in this community in the first place.

And let this be a lesson not just to the OP, but for everyone not to blindly trust someone. Yes, you are lucky that it was just $25, but this scammers can victimized others again with huge amount.

Another mistake by another newbie to know the scammer. The accused user is a newbie account also very less activity. So we can not stop them by tagging or supporting flag because they will create another alt accounts to cheat in another new way. To stop them we have to be aware to use their service without escrow. But some fool/not much aware people fall into their trap. weird!

Thank you both for your support

I don't know how you made this mistake. Targeting newbies like you they promise this type of service, because old members know exactly what their purpose is. The account to which you sent the money was already tagged, so you should have checked the activity of the user before making this transaction. Sorry for your loss, and I hope you will never make such a mistake again in the future and never fall prey to scammers. Be careful yourself and warn others as well.

I know, I made a mistake.
thanks for your support.

The thief is trying to come back,
same offer pattern, also check registration date

I suggest creating a flag for that account too to prevent others from getting scammed. newbies tend to miss the negative feedback if a non-DT is the one who gave it. sometimes even if a DT gave a neg trust newbies still does miss it. so I think a flag is the best way to stop him from scamming others.

it's good that you have learned your mistake that some of the newbies tend to make again even after getting scammed less than a month or couple of weeks ago.

thank you, Flag done please support.

Please add the flag link on your main topic which will help thread visitors to submit their support.

Sorry to say that you haven’t checked his trust page before using his service. Its a newbie account and he stole your money because of your mistake. I wish you will never feal with anyone like him and don't forget to use escrow for your fund safety.

Flag supported from my end.
