Title: Scammed by WolfCloud
Post by: sepix1 on April 24, 2023, 06:25:54 PM
His profile is : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3467030

I Pm'd him and asked for buying hetzner account, I paid him and He sent me an account who the support rejected verification on it after 6 - 7 hours
In this time I was in bed and didn't any thing with account.
After this happened I PM'd him and explain the problem also sent account info who can see this by himself and told it's all about verification as hetzner support said and asked for replace, but he was not accept the problem
He told will replace but wasted my time all day and finally blocked me

DON'T DEAL WITH HIM AT ALL.

sorry for your loss but this is why you or anyone should never make a transaction online with someone without an escrow, especially if they are not reputable. also, it is always suspicious when someone tries to sell a verified account to someone. I hope this incident would be a lesson to you to be more cautious when transacting with someone.

Don't you think you are taking this risk when you are buying any account online which is not legally owned by yourself?
When a deal was done then did you have this verification things active or pending?
I guess no. If that happened after the deal was done then it happened when you were in the possession of the account.

I am not taking the side of the account seller but technically he gave you a clean account. I really don't understand why anyone needs to buy an account at the first place?

By the way what is WolfCould?
A quick search gives me amazon links. university links and says something about wolfwill LOL

LOL I got this thing wrong.

Sorry about the loss of the money, but;
1. Why are you buying a hetzner account in the first place, yet you can create your own and verify it using your own accurate data?
2. Why are you not using a trusted escrow service for such deals?

You should have it at the back of your mind that people who sell such types of accounts probably obtained them illegally or even hacked into someone's account. You can't tell me someone comes in the forum here and sells 10 "verified" accounts, and they are all his and legally created.

Have you done successful trades on newbies in the past that you seem to easily trust unknown people, or did anyone vouch for this guy for you, if your answer is no then its better to change how you interact online, nest time get an escrow or trade with someone with a good reputation as a seller

If a seller is not offering an escrow and his account is a newbie then never trade, I see that you already have a flag for him better include that flag link on your post.

What happened is normal because the member with whom you dealt does not have any reputation or an account with a high rank, and it is certain that if you asked him to hire an escrow, he would refrain from that because he is indeed a scammer and he only cares about stealing people’s money unjustly, sad for your loss and the money that you lost I hope that it will be a lesson for you so that you do not repeat your mistake, and I do not recommend that you ever waste your money in buying verified accounts of any platforms because most of these accounts have been verified with stolen documents from the dark web and with fake information and the like, and there is a high possibility that they will be closed by the platform team in the event that they discover any suspicious activity.

This situation is really hard as we don't know who's the liar and honest person, each other will keep arguing their own opinion.

I don't find the seller have previously scammed other user and he's not creating a self moderated topic, so I don't feel the seller has suspicious activity. As the @OP, the proof is still not enough to convince me, there's still a chance if he's lying too.

I will not draw any conclusion in this case, it's still unclear.
